Custom FLV player query

Dear all
I have created a custom FLV player and i would like to embed
it into our web site. The problem I have is I want it to be
dynamic. So I can link lots of videos to it rather than export just
one movie with the player from flash and embed that each time into
the website. I want the player as a permanent entity and then link
to it via a database with a list of FLV videos. I know about
Flashvars and creating those variables in the javascript file but I
want to know do I need to or can I type a query into the source
field in the parameters of the .fla file to link to a database full
of the videos. Rather than place in that source field the name of
one .flv movie. Thats where I am stuck. I am pretty new to flash. I
am using progressive download by the way.
Our website is coded with classic ASP/CSS and we use access
for databases.
Many thanks
Rob

Thanks so much for your help, I am probably going to sound
thick but how would I get flash to read the xml, I guess I would do
it with actionscript but do you have any pointers or tutorials you
know of where it involves asp and a database etc.
Cheers

Adding subtitle functionality to my custom flv player

Hey all,
I have a custom flv player and i'm slowly adding more functionality to it as I go along but i've hit a wall.
I want to add a subtitle button that toggles between show/hide. I've seen on the internet that the best way is to use an XML file (holding the script, times etc.), which I have no problem writing.
I'm having problems trying to replicate the 'FLVPlaybackCaptioning' component (in Flash CS3) in to my custom flv player. I.E. Adding the right actionscript to my toggle button.
Can anybody help me as I just can't find anything on the internet.
Any advice is welcome!
Thanks

Well the problem is that I can't find any tutorials or help about getting a subtitle toggle button into my custom flv player, an example of which can be found here: http://idl.newport.ac.uk/dev/customplayer.html
I don't like using the FLVPlayback component built into flash as it is too clunky but at the moment that is the only way I can get subtitles to toggle on and off (using the FLVPlaybackCaption component).
Ideally I would like to use an XML file to do the subtitles. Any ideas?

Best approach to dynamic custom flv player

I am currently working on a custom flash player. After
working on several working versions where I simply used
actionscript to delegate the actions of my custom player.
I am now working on a more dynamic ready flashplayer that
will need to be embeddable. Should I make a .swf specificaly for
the player using the flash player SkinFLA examples as an outline?
The idea is to have a player that embeds like youtube, any
suggestions or tutorials to look over? Also, this player needs to
have playlist functionality, but it needs to be able to scope to
anyone. I could have users register and then create an XML that
references their playlist, but it seems like there may be better
options. Just looking for some discussion and debate over player
best-practices....

Custom FLV Player is Killing me. . .

Hi All
Right, where do i start - i have just spent the last 3
months learning HTML and CSS for a website that i run. We are a
video production company, and we need to have a bank of videos that
will be updated on an almost weekly basis.
I want to use some sort of flash video set up, where the main
video plays and there is a slideshow of other videos below -
wrapped up in a XML file.
BUT - I can't find any up to date tutorials on making your
own FLV player that is compatible with XML style lists. When i say
make my own FLV player, i mean i have made a skin in PS and
imported it to Flash. I can import a video that is Actionscript
controlled - but from there, all the tutorials i come across seem
to use old code that CS3 doesn't understand.
This is a big question - but any ideas?
Thanks
JP

Just set the export to Flash 8 AS 2.0 version and you will be
set. All the flv players
will work for you.

Custom flv player works great except for Scrubber (F*)

Everything works great except when I click the loadbar,
instead of operating my scrubber script it just stops. Can anyone
see a problem with this code? Must be a typo somewhere but I can't
find it! Scrubber code at bottom.
//-------NETCONNTCTION SETUP--------------
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
//-------NETSTREAM SETUP--------------
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Start") {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoUpdate;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
delete progressBar.onEnterFrame;
ns.onMetaData = function(info) {
ns.duration = info.duration;
//-------ATTACHING NETSTREAM--------------
video.attachVideo(ns);
//-------PLAYING EXTERNAL FLV--------------
ns.play("curse.flv");
//-------REWIND BUTTON--------------
rewind.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(0);
//-------PLAY PAUSE TOGGLE--------------
playPause.onRollOver = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
else {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
playPause.onRollOut = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("pause");
else {
this.gotoAndStop("play");
playPause.onRelease = function() {
if(this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
ns.pause(true);
else {
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
ns.pause(false);
//-------LOADBAR--------------
loadbar.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._xscale = (ns.bytesLoaded/ns.bytesTotal)*100;
if(this._xscale == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
//-------VIDEO UPDATE--------------
function videoUpdate() {
progressBar._xscale = (ns.time/ns.duration)*100;
//-------VIDEO SCRUBBER--------------
loadbar.onPress = function() {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoScrub;
loadbar.onRelease = loadbar.onReleaseOutside = function() {
progressBar.onEnterFrame = videoUpdate;
function videoScrub() {
var dist:Number = (_root._xmouse-loadbar._x)/loadbar._width;
ns.seek(Math.floor(ns.duration*dist));
progressBar._xscale = (ns.time/ns.duration)*100;
}

Check the enclosed .AppleDouble folder and files. If that doesn't help, stop netatalk, delete the volumes CNID databases and restart.
Cheers!

FLV Player

I use Sorenson to create the FLV files... and it allows you
to create SWF templates to play and stop the files... But the
tutorial I got didnt work and most of the var names where wrong...
I don’t care if I make it that way or not...
What I really want is to be able to create a custom looking

Does anyone have one I could look through and figure out?...

FLV player component. Open Source/commercial options?

I'm returning to a project I've had on hold for a bit. We're
now receiving
.flv files from our video team and we need to displaying them
on our site.
Can anyone recommend some Flash FLV player components? Open
source
preferred, but commercial or freeware would be OK too if
highly recommended.
I've looked at OSFLV but that appears to require PHP back end
scripts. Our
site is ASP.net so likely wouldn't work.
Ideally, it'd be a player that we could passe the FLV info to
via the HTML
(so that we could incorporate the embed markup automatically
via our CMS
back end).

I beleave first of all you must decide how will you show your
videos.
Do you have FMS? Or is webserver the only you have for your
site? If
you don't have FMS and don't like to buy its license, then
the only
possible way is to use HTTP Streaming or simple progressive
download.
And you must seek for a player depending on your choice of
the video
delivery method. HTTP Streaming is a great choice if you
haven't FMS.
Though you need some scripting language/database engine at
your web
server and some custom SWF (Flash FLV Player). Standard UI
components
like FLVPlayback will not work with HTTP Streaming. Though it
is not
so dificult to create such player using any Flash MX version
>= 7.
You can find some brief description of HTTP Streaming if
you'll try to
search in Google:

FLV Player with Dynamic Playlist

So this is the first time I've experimented with a Dynamic
Playlist in an FLV Player and I'm learning a lot. I found a
tutorial on the Adobe site similar to what I'm looking to create.
[URL="
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/prog_download.html"
one is for Progressive Download, which I want.[/URL]
The same person also wrote one for [URL="
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html"
I only mention that, because in the Streaming version, the videos
have the standard Adobe video controls in them, and the Progressive
tutorial does not. Usually I just create my own controls and link
it to the video component that I'm using, but this tutorial is
different than I normally roll.
In the library there is an object type "Video", which I can't
recall ever seeing before. If I delete it from the stage my videos
won't play, so it's definitely important. It doesn't give
parameters like the FLVPlayback does so I can't choose controls on
it. I don't know if there is a way.
Or maybe I need to build my own controls and find a way to
tie them into what we have here, but that would be stretching the
bounds of my knowledge, and I was hoping to have this up soon to
send to a potential employer.
What I'm looking for is some help to get pointed in the right
direction to just add the controls to the player in that tutorial.
If there is an "easy button" somewhere that I can push that'd be
great. If I need to get dirty I'm willing to, but I'm a bit lost
right now.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Search for JW player on Google and look at that.

Creating a custom Flash Player

I am totally new to Flash Builder and currently downloading the trial version. While I am waiting, is this the correct product for me?
I have a VP6 Alpha Channel .flv movie (transparent background). I would like to create a custom flash player for my website to display and control this movie.The player needs the following properties:
1. Play the movie transparently (using "wmode"?)
2. Play, pause, volume and exit buttons on the control bar
3. Autohide control bar
4. Logo / text on the control bar
5. Ability to unload itself after the movie ends
Is this the right product for me? If so, any links on how to create this player would be useful. If not, which product do I need?
Many thanks for your help.

Flv player works locally but not when uploaded

Another day, another issue...
I have a flash movie that includes an flv player with previews and buttons. It reads the content from an xml file.

Help!!!

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac

[http://www.pavtube.com/christmas2009/]
A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac
Are you prepared to download FLV videos from YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other video websites to play on your Mac or portable players, or do some further editing with certain editors? In my experience, assuming you have this idea, you must take advantage of three kinds of tools, including FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter to achieve the goal.
Of course, I am not speaking this to depress you, but to share my collections of these tools to show my kindness. Sure, just for people who have these needs.
At first, I’ll introduce you several FLV downloaders for Mac, I have tried all of them, and basically they can achieve my goal of downloading FLV videos online.
Free FLV downloaders for Mac:
Web Video Downloader for Firefox
Free Video Downloader for Mac
Free YouTube Downloader for Mac
I also know some free FLV players, and recommend them to you here, hope they can assist you to play FLV videos on your Mac smoothly.
Free FLV player, Mac OS X:
Adobe Media Player
Wimpy FLV Player
QuickTime, after installation of the Perian video plugin
SWF & FLV Player
CorePlayer
(Tip: the above pieces of software can easily be searched in Google, so I do not give you the links here. I’m sure you can get them with ease.)
Well, we have gone through the FLV downloaders and FLV players in the above passages, now it’s time to introduce you a FLV converter for Mac. This program I recommend is Pavtube FLV Converter for Mac, which can perfectly convert FLV videos to a wide range of video formats, so that you can do whatever you like with the resulted videos, such as playing on your iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PSP, Apple TV, etc. or exporting to iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express to do further editing, or doing something else as you like. But how to use it? You may ask me. Take it easy, a step-by-step instruction is involved in the following part.
1. Download, install and run this program
A sky-blue interface will be shown to you as follow:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV files to it by clicking button “Add”, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press “Browse” to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default.
3. Set advanced settings
Click button[b] “Settings”, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. to optimize the output videos.
4. Convert
This FLV Converter for mac can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality, also it do not have the problem of audio-video out of sync. Therefore you need not worry about these issues. Moreover, if you want to add watermark as your own logo or reserve your copyright, you can totally do it with this program.
Ok, the introduction to the three kinds of tools which you may need while dealing with FLV videos is over, sincerely hope they can deliver you useful information, because you know, it’s my original intention.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.
