Creating a Dynamic Playlist for use with Amazon Cloudfront

I am working on a soultion for my website to deploy Falsh encoded videos from the Amazon Cloudfront using Flash Streaming Video Server 3.5 and the JW Falsh Player (www.longtailvideo.com).
I am NOT a code person but here is what I am trying to accomplish. I hope I am in the correct forum! If not, I apologize.
I have several videos a week that I edit and can save in different kbps versions for Dynamic Bitrate streaming through the JW Player. My problem is creating the XML or SMIL playlist to initiate the bitrate switching. I would like to find an authoring tool or someway to generate the required file in a fairly easy manner as I am more videographer/editor that code warrior.
I would also like to have a playlist of other available videos associated with any given video that could be delivered with the Dynamic Bitrate Switching feature. Example: a lawyer that specializes in several different fields of law and would like to have 5 videos, one for each area of specialization, delivered to clients with high bandwidth and clients on mobile devices and everyone in between!
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

I'm looking for the answer to this question too. If you don't have the answer, or if you don't care to link to the answer, or to recommend a knowledgable expert, please remain silent.

Problem with tutorial:Creating a dynamic playlist for streaming flash video

hi, anyone tried the tutorial: creating a dynamic playlist
for streaming flash video?
i follow the instruction exactly as stated in the tutorial
and test the fla file, it worked perfectly well when i open the swf
using the macromedia flash 8. Everything look fine. Nothing is
changed except the url is changed to "rtmp://localhost/videosource"
in the xml file.
after i publish the file using the setting: access network
only, i try to open the swf and html file from the folder, the
thumbnail did not appear and there is no way i can click on any
videos. What i see is only the list, and there is no response from
the flash media server 2. All the files is in the same folder.
Anyone please help with this problem???? thanks

....i debug the movie step by step
and realised that the xml file is being read by the code...
Your original problem stated it worked but not when playing
outside the
Flash authoring environment by simply loading the swf from
the hard drive.
The Flash authoring environment is a trusted environment and
so you really
need to test in the actual deployment mode which loading an
swf from the
hard drive is not a valid deployment unless an installed
Flash player is
available outside the web browser which you would have as you
have the
authoring tool and your users will not.
Use a browser with
http://yourdomain.com/yourmovie.html
to do final
debugging.
In this regard you may need to debug the movie while running
in real time
mode in a web browser with
http:// A technique to trace I suggested is to
create a temporary TextField perhaps named out_txt and send
trace message to
it such as out_txt.text += "My Trace Expression".

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Flash Video

Hello,
I have been trying the tutorial given by Lisa Larson in order
to create a dynamic playlist for streaming Flash video files. I
have realized some of the FLV files that I have downloaded from
internet don’t show in the thumbPlayList and cannot be
played. But once I convert them back to WMV and the use the Flash 8
Video Decoder to convert them to FLV file everything works fine.
Any idea or suggestion why there is such a problem?

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash Video

Hi
I just finished reading the Creating a Dynamic Playlist for
Progressive Flash Video (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/prog_download.html)
tutorial, and it gives a pretty good overview, however I would like
to be able to add the ability to stop and start the video as well,
and the tutorial doesn't really explain how the embedded video
works. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished, or at least
know where I can find information on how to do this.
Thanks

I worked on the same project and it is working alright and
still interested in adding more features like play pause etc ....
but for now I'm more interested in adding the buffering bar and
progress bar.
Any help is welcome.

How Do I create a Modular Function for use with Event Listeners

OK I'm very new to AS3 and I'm curious as to how to get
modular functions to work in AS3.
for instance if I have this code:
function snowfall(snowflake:MovieClip, movement:Number):void
snowflake.y = movement;
snowfall(snowflake1_mc, 10);
snowfall(snowflake2_mc, 20);
snowfall(snowflake3_mc, 30);
Now on the stage I place 3 instances of a snowflake movie
clip. Each time I call the "snowfall" function I refer to a new
instance of the snowflake movie clip and a different amount of
movement along the y axis.
This is great but what if I want to use a button to control
these snowflake movie clips and I want to maintain that modular
nature? I don't really get how to do this. I created a button with
an instance name of "myButton" and I've tried this code but it is
throwing an error I don't really understand:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
snowfall(snowflake3_mc, 30));
Can I not pass information to a function using an
EventListener?

Hi --
What you want to do on your button is this..
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,snowfall)
Then in the function you can check which button called the
function using
properties of the event..
function snowfall(event:MouseEvent) {
trace(event)
I am not sure off the top of my head of the data available in
the "event"
but the trace will show you all the variables you can access.
As far as the amount of movement -- how is this information
set? You can
keep this in a global variable and then read it from inside
the event
handler rather than needing to pass it to the event.

HT3529 Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages"?

Is there a way to create, store and use preset messages for use with "Messages". I often have a recurrinig message to send, after a repeating event, and need to enter the same short message each time. It would be nice to have this short message stored and selectable so that I do not need to enter each time.

found an answer that seems to work:

Can 10G express be used to create an application for use with a 10G instanc

Hi
Can 10G express be used to create an application for use with a 10G instance? I am new to Oracle 10G. I like the interface for creating applications, maintaining users, etc. Can this tool be pointed at a regular instance of 10G so that applications can be created against a regular 10G database not the express database?
Can PL/SQL proceedures that are created in 10G express also be migrated to a 10G database?
Thanks in advance
Dean-O

Can 10G express be used to create an application for use with a 10G instance?Yeah, that's the whole point from a marketing perspective ;)
Can this tool be pointed at a regular instance of 10G so that applications can be
created against a regular 10G database not the express database?Yes but it's a different version. Check out:

Dynamic Playlist for streaming video

This is my first attempt at building a dynamic playlist for
streaming flash video and I'm following the tutorial at
"macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html". I've
changed the paths to my FMS and loaded the video files to the
applications directory of the FMS (flash_applications/videosource).
The thumbnails load and the player skin loads but the videos do not
load when I click on the thumbnails.
I've read the earlier post about this same issue. I followed
the advice from that post and reloaded the 'main.asc' file from my
Flash 8 program files but the video still does not play.
Here is a link to the site so you can see the problem:
http://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/VideoSource1.swf
My FMS is 'media.us.elsevierhealth.com'
I believe my code is correct and I believe the paths I've
created are correct. If someone could review my code and check the
path info I would appreciate it. Here is the code from
'VideoSource1.as'
import mx.video.*;
//Set up the list box, call function VideoThumb to create the
actual thumbnails
list.rowHeight = 70;
list.cellRenderer = "VideoThumb";
list.selectable = true;
//create new empty listener object
listListener = {};
nc = new NetConnection(); //create a connection
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
//connect to FCS (nav.attributes.url)
ns = new NetStream(nc); //create a stream
ns.connect(); //connect the stream
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
stream_ns.play("video2.flv");
// Create function to trace all the status info.
function traceStatus(info) {
Message.text+="Level: " + info.level + " Code: " +
info.code+"\n";
} // Assign this function to onStatus handlers when you
create objects.
//Function to handle what happens when an item in the list is
selected
listListener.change = function( evtobj ) {
var nav = list.dataProvider[list.selectedIndex];
var reset = true;
for ( var i = 0; i < nav.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var stream = nav.childNodes
if ( stream.nodeName == "stream" ) {
attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk", 10, {width:320,
height:240, x:90, y:100});
//center the FLVPlayback component when FLV is ready to play
var listenerObject
bject = new Object();
listenerObject.resize = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
//center video in playback area
newx = (460 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredWidth)/2;
newy = (470 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredHeight)/2;
my_FLVPlybk._x = newx;
my_FLVPlybk._y = newy;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("resize", listenerObject);
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
my_FLVPlybk.setSize(250, 350);
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "ClearExternalAll.swf";
my_FLVPlybk.clear();
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath =
"rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/stream/_definst_/"
+ stream.attributes.name+".flv";
my_FLVPlybk.autoSize = true;
trace(my_FLVPlybk.contentPath);
reset = false;
//Add an event listener on the list, when it triggers, run
the listListener function to repopulate the list
list.addEventListener("change", listListener);
//Function that loads the XML file, parses it, and builds the
list of available video clips
var xmllist = new XML(); //setup a variable to hold the XML
xmllist.ignoreWhite = true;
xmllist.load( "playlist-demo-1.xml" ); //load the XML file
//The following gets called when the XML has been loaded
xmllist.onLoad = function( status ) {
if ( !status )
trace( status );
var entries = this.childNodes[0];
var playlists = {};
var nav = [];
for ( var i = 0; i < entries.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var entry = entries.childNodes;
if ( entry.nodeName == "listitem" )
//builds array of video clip names
playlists[entry.attributes.name] = entry;
else if ( entry.nodeName == "menu" ) {
//builds array of available videos
for ( var j = 0; j < entry.childNodes.length; j++ )
nav[j] = playlists[entry.childNodes[j].attributes.name];
} //end else if
} //end if
//sends the array of videos to the listbox UI
list.dataProvider = nav;
} //end xmllist.onload
Any advice or troubleshooting will be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

I just used the server on Windows (as opposed to linux) and
it worked great. So the issue, at least for me and my issue (could
see the thumbnails, couldn't play the video) was windows vs. Linux.
I guess the linux version doesn't work with this exact script. Now
to put together something of my own to test to see if the linux
version works right.

Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Video Errors

I'm using Lisa Larson's tutorial on the adobe website to
create a dynamic playlist from an XML file to work with out FMS
server. After playing around with it for an hour I finally got it
to connect to the FMS and generate the thumbs but it won't stream
any of the videos. When I click on the list item the video player
comes up but doesn't load a video. Any ideas? The live log in the
FMS console is giving me this error: "
Error:
command msg sent before client connection has been
accepted."
This is the link for the tutorial
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html

i don't even get to see the thumbnails! i've left one of the
original addresses in the xml, and that one always loads, both
thumbnails and stream. however, every other one i've changed a
number of ways, i never get any thumbnails nor streams. while
testing the movie with flash 8, i get the output that the first
connection (the original one) is a success, but all others are
failed. in the xml, do you have to put the port in too? cause i've
tried that, but it makes no difference whatsoever...

How to create Exchange dynamic distribution list using multivalue extension custom attribute

I am trying to create a dynamic distribution list using an ExtensionCustomAttribute. I am in hybrid mode with Exchange 2013. The syntax I have is this:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {(ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
This works correctly on-prem. But hosted always results in an empty list. I can see in dirsync the attribute is in the hosted environment, but for whatever reason, the distribution group gets created but always come up null.
If I create a group looking at the single valued attributes, such as CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y', it works correctly on-prem and hosted.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

I don't think I provided enough information about the problem. Let me add some and see if it makes sense.
I have an Exchange 2013 on-premise configured in hybrid mode with Office365. For testing purposes, I have 2 users, Joe and Steve, one with the mailbox on-prem, and the other with the mailbox in the cloud. Each of them has CustomAttribute6 = 'Y'
and ExtensionCustomAttribute2 = 'NH'. Dirsync shows these users and these attributes are synced between on-prem and cloud.
Using on-prem Exchange powershell, I run the following command:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them as follows:
$DDG = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup DG_NH
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $DDG.RecipientFilter | FT alias
So I then delete this DG, and recreate it this time looking at the multi-value attribute ExtensionCustomAttribute2, as follows:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
Replaying the query above, I can see this also works fine and finds my two users.
Next I open a new powershell and connect to Office 365 and repeat the process there.
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (CustomAttribute6 -eq 'Y')}
This correctly finds the 2 users when I query for them.
And then delete the group and recreate it using the multi-value attribute:
New-DynamicDistributionGroup -Name "DG_NH" -RecipientFilter {((RecipientType -eq UserMailBox) -or (RecipientType -eq MailUser) -and (ExtensionCustomAttribute2 -eq 'NH')}
When I run the query this time it produces no result. Every test I try results in an empty group if I am using a multi-valued attribute in the search criteria in the cloud. If I use single valued attribute, it works fine.
I really need to be able to get multi-valued DDG's working in the cloud. If anyone has done this and has any suggestions, I would appreciate seeing what you did. And if this is the wrong forum to port this, if you can point me to a more suitable
forum I will report there.
Thanks,
Richard

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

Hi
As my topic says
How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly. In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location.
But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line. No one is looking at the page. A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice. It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word.
I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want. I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have.
I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way.
Give it a try and best of luck.

ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

I've got a few smart playlists.
The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...
