Dynamic Playlist

Guys,
I have been working on a project that's posted by Lisa Larson
and was created by Chris Hock...the Dynamic playlist project...I
can't seem to get the "stream" portion of the project to work and
have been looking for a hand or some support on what in the world I
am missing...I have everything else in the project working
great(used the provided example as a template) and it just doesn't
stream the video...my FMS shows the streams there available but no
avail..
any help is most appreciated..

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...

Is there a way to create dynamic playlists on the fly in music on smart media?

Often I'm at a friends house and we're looking through music trying to pick the next song to play as one is finishing.
It would be really great to have an dynamic playlist where you could add and subtract songs as you go and so keep the music playing as you create away and the new list runs.
I see a couple of apps offering this but they don't have good reviews. Also crossfade for this would be a nice option too.
Any plans to give a 'life update' revamp to party goers using itunes on their smart devices?
Or doesMusic have this feature and I'm just unaware of it?

Yes, there is a way. Here is the workaround. You can add notes folders directly with your iPad or iPhone.

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."

[All Platforms][Playlists] Dynamic playlist formed by two or more playlists

Hi, I like to organize my favorite songs mainly in playlists of the same genre. However, if I want at some point to listen to songs of both genres A and B, I need to create a new playlist with all the songs from these two genres, and also keep at least two different lists up to date whenever I need to add or remove any songs. I'd like to create a "dynamic" playlist, defined in terms of other playlists (and possibly some custom songs). For example, I'd like to be able to create a new playlist called "Study" which is formed by any the songs at playlists "Classic" and "Games", plus any other songs specifically added to "Study".

Updated: 2015-07-13Hi and thanks for your contribution! A similar idea has also been suggested here:

Help with dynamic playlist for mpd

Hi guys,
I use mpd with sonata for playing my music, and after trying exaile there is one thing id really like for mpd, and that is the dynamic playlist function.
When you're playing a song in exaile with dynamic playlist enabled, it queries audioscrobbler and automatically adds similar artists/songs to your playlist (if you have them on your pc).
I dont want to use exaile as it just feels too big and slow and bloated (not KISS ), i know a little bit of python so i thought i'll try and make my own little script/program as Sonata has audioscrobbler support, but i dont think there is anyway to query similar artists.
I think im going to try and make this as a daemon type program that will run in the background adding songs to the playlist.
Ive found the code from the exaile source (audioscrobbler.py) which queries lastfm e.g.
>>> lips = AudioScrobblerQuery(artist='The Flaming Lips')
>>> for artist in lips.similar():
... print artist.name, artist.mbid
This will print a list of similar artists to the flaming lips.
I've not done much with python so i thought this would be a good way to try and improve.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the best way to go about searching and comparing the results to my mpd database, would the best way just to be to search the mpd.db?
And if anyone else has any ideas/comments id like to hear them.
Edit:
I just found this too, so i may only need to change some things to integrate it with mpd rather than amarok

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".

Trouble with Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash Video

Hey There,
I have been working on building a flash video player and are
trying to incorporate the Dynamic Playlist for Progressive Flash
Video. Everyting is working expect the thumbs are not appearing.
Instead, on each row of the list it says " type function". The list
is populated with data b/c i can navigate it and select a video to
watch, just the thumbs are missin.
Any ideas how I can get my jpg thumbs to appear?
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.

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 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?
Thank you for your advice.

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

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.

Making Flash Dynamic Playlist in Dreamweaver

Hi, got overly ambitious late last night and tried to make a
video playlist based on Lisa Larson Kelley's tutorial
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html.
I managed to get the tile list set up and functioning, but, the
video player doesn't seem to "see" the video files, just the
thumbnails in the tile list. The URL for the test page is at
http://www.vegascanine.com/VideoPlaylist.html.
I've been comparing my files to her tutorial files and I wonder if
there's something absurdly simple that I'm missing due to lack of
sleep! I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks so much!

HTML cannot add a link to a Flash object. You would need to
do that in the
Flash Actionscript.

RTMP Player With Live Stream As Primary Stage With Dynamic Playlist Of Previous Recordings

(97.76.8.74:8134/index_temp.html).
You can see our boring-for-now stream there but you can see the look I would like to achieve from the OSM just by pointing to the homepage
(97.76.8.74:8134) which is presently being fed by a generic, static playlist.xml file on the top half and the bottom being livestream
I have a 1TB raid5 storage setup for the media (E:\media\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\VideoPlaylist) and what i would like to do is have the main window of the homepage display the livestream onload and populate the thumbs on the right with the previously recorded content in the videoplaylist folder.

How do you create a dynamic playlist?

I want a playlist for my videos, preferably with thumbnails like the flash player Adobe offered with Popeye sample/test videos. How do you configure the player for that? I believe it's by Kaltura, and their website shows that feature but I can't find it mentioned in the documentation. Thanks!

Hi mfuller52654,
Currently in Strobe MediaPlayback we have support for:
- simple playlists (m3u format): no thumbnails or title, example in http://osmf.org/dev/1.5gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.html?src=playlists/playlist.m3u
- JS playlists, without autoadvance - a sample can be found at http://osmf.org/dev/1.5gm/jsdemo.html
I think the second option can help you create your thunbnailed playlists.
Tell me if this helped,
S.
