Captivate 5 will NOT play streaming video from my Flash Media Server

Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?

Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
Is the file truly an FLV or F4V? Looks to me like it is a MP4. [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
Just my thoughts.

Playing video from a flash media server

Can anyone point me to code to play streaming video from a Flash Media Server in Flex?

Can you tell me how are you concluding that you are skipping few seconds when you set higher bufferTime - is it on visual inspection or say based on status messages.

Safari will not play streaming video or audio

Hi everyone,
I have had my iBook for a year and never even tried to take advantage of streaming video or audio b/c I had a dial-up connetion until very recently. Now that I have a high speed connection I would like to watch trailers and listen to music on myspace. I cannot watch trailers at www.apple.com/trailers/ or any video on myspace.com. Nor can I listen to music (I think they are xml files) on myspace.com. I'm currently running on Mac OSX 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Well I have the opposite effect here - the video plays fine on my MBP, yet not on my Intel iMac. On the iMac the video panel never appears. Rather tells me it needs Flash.
Safari is the same on both systems (or at least that's what I think). No plugin blocks are present. To test if the Preference files might be causing the problem, On the iMac, I moved to the desktop from the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences folder the folder inside the SharedObjects folder. Restarted the system/Safari but the video still does not play.
In the past, Layers magazine has not been a problem, however, I haven't viewed one for several months. Given what others have posted, there seems to be an oddity here that is not machine or Safari specific. I'll have to investigate more when I have time tomorrow.
Try the Video from another user account. See if this is system-wide, or just specific to your user account. BTW, video played fine on the iMac in Firefox.

Apple TV 2 will not play purchased videos from an authorized computer

I have been trying all night to get purchased videos from an authorized computer play on my Apple TV 2. My computer is authorized and I have not reached my limit of authorized computers. I even went as far as to completly reset all the settings on my Apple TV; the music plays fine and it can list all my availible video content but as soon as I select a video of any kind it gives me the following error: Authorization is Required. You must authorize your computer with the account used to purchased the content. I am going crazy, I can access the same videos from my Home Sharing on my iPhone or from another computer using iTunes. I have tried deauthorizing the computer several times with no luck. Any suggestions?

also could be your HDMI cable......
from another thread.....so exactly what does your Apple TV say to you exactly, when it won't play the movies???
"If this is for the new ATV2, then the cable you use to connect to your TV must be HDCP capable. Some are. Some aren't. I bought a cheap one that was not and it didn't work. I bought a slightly more expensive one that was HDCP compliant and all is fine now.
From the ATV webpage:
Compatible with high-definition TVs with HDMI and capable of 720p 60/50Hz (see note 2)
Bottom of page.
Note 2: Requires HDCP when playing protected content.

Firefox will not play training videos from BMW university

I need to use BMW university (ICP) to view training videos. I use Linux (Linux mint 9) and Firefox. I can view them using the computers at work which of course are windows and have internet explorer. I have emailed BMW about this but they seem to be unwilling to change anything. Anyway. I use Adobe flash and Sun Java, the latest versions and have all the correct plugins. Firefox will work on every other site. I tried using Opera but I got an error message saying my Browser doesn't use Dynamic html, so I quit Opera. I love using Firefox and would love to have it work on this site. I can't give you the URL for the site as it is protected and the property of BMW. I don't know what to try to get it working, maybe it will never work, maybe there is proprietary windows stuff built into the site and it just wont work with Linux or Firefox.

What kind of content is that?<br />
Are that Flash videos?
You have the Flash player, so if it is Flash then it should work.
Which player do you see if you right-click on it in IE ?

Firefox V 25.0.1 on an iMac OSX 10.9 will not play streamed audio from a web site. Audio on Safari V7 OK. Any ideas on how to get the Firefox audio to play?

The audio on the site is in MP3 format. The site is coded in PHP.

I'm not sure if the current Firefox release is supporting MP3 in an audio or video tag if that is what is used to play this media file.

Iphone4 will not play any videos from safari or youtube.

There are several comments on here saying to turn 'plug ins' on, but there is no setting for this under the safari option in setting. Am I missing something obvious?

Try this:
1. Close all inactive apps. Double-click the Home button and hold apps in the Task Bar down until they all wiggle then tap the minus sign to close apps. Tap the home button to return to Home screen.
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Firefox will not play .ogv video files when loaded from a server. Does anyone have any answers that will fix this?

I've read the suggestions for fixing this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match MIME types for .ogv, I've uploaded the files as both Binary and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays fine when you load it from a local file, but it will not play when viewed from a remote server. I've confirmed with my hosting company that the .htaccess and all other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos just fine, but Firefox will not. Does anyone have any concrete answers as to what the problem is. I'm also serving up the video files as .webm and .mp4, but neither of these formats works in Firefox either.

That can happen if the server isn't configured properly to send the files with a by Firefox supported MIME type.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
Did you check via the Web Console which headers Firefox receives when requesting the .ogv file?
If that is OK then it is possible that the file is using an unsupported coding method.

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound

Purchased music videos from iTunes but it will not play, no video or sound. There were several vidoes on the purchase I made and two of the videos will not play the video or sound. I've checked to see if they were waiting for download and nothing is there. Any suggestions.

Is your iTunes account authorized for this computer in iTunes? - to check, open iTunes, and in the top menu bar, select "store", then "authorize this computer". How to Authorize iTunes - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/authorization/.

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

My macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating

my macbook pro will not play a video without pausing every 11 seconds. PLEASE help me figure out what is wrong. very frustrating. I have already tried restarting

buckmacie,
has the video been completely downloaded onto your MacBook Pro when you start to play it? Or are you playing it while it downloads, AKA streaming it?

FCP X will not play any video.

FCP X will not play any video. I can skim the audio but can not playback anything. I can move things aroun in the timeline and do everthing else but no play. When I press play or space It will freeze with my favorite beach ball until I force quit. I have deleted all preferences and the app and reinstalled from scratch. Didn't change anything. I was able to export out a project without being able to see it untill the export finished, in full res with no issues.
I am using an Imac 10 with Dual core 3.06ghz and 16gb ram on 10.6.8

Spoke to Apple Rep today: Everything works in a new user. Duh I should have thought of that. He at first was telling me that 256 vram was barely enough to run FCPX and my dual monitors was part of the problem with too many things on the bus 1 usb drive 2 usb printers 1 usb apc, Firewire 400 DVD and Lacie drive, and a Drobo He didn't like the Drobos. Unhooked everything... Didn't help.
He Did say that with A DSLR you must Render on import. Tried that Didn't help. I need tosee if that holds water. Off to figure out my User issues But at least I can get back to work.

Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector. This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it? Please help.
Thank you

Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

Safari not playing streaming video

Hi,
For some reason safari 4.3 is not playing streaming video such as that shown on CNN. Also, my Macbook is not playing streaming audio. If any of you folks can help with an answer I'd appreciate the help. I am using 10.61 on both machines.
Thanks
