Embed a video on file server in SharePoint

I have video file on file server, they are very large. I cannot upload those videos in SharePoint Library. Is it possible to embed videos on file server in SharePoint Media Web Part? If yes how can I do it?

That particular web part takes a number of formats and then displays them using Silverlight. I can't recall if it modifies the actual file or clones iot and then modifies that. The advantge to this is a lower footprint for SharePoint to deal
with. (Accepted formats for the web part are here).
What formats and file size are you working with too? You might have a few more options, such as: -
Re-encoding to a different format
Using a Content Editor Web Part and some HTML

From File Server to SharePoint

Hi,
I would like to move all the files in several folders on a fileserver and put them on sharepoint.
The files in the fileserver are organized in several folders and subfolders (quite deep) and the security is controled via user Group membership (AD Groups).
What guidelines should I follow to do this "migration" and to have eficient (and security trimmed) search functionalities?
Many thanks,
DD

Why?
A file server and SharePoint are very different products and answering the question about why will have a bearing on not only what you move, but how you end up planning to move it and what the destination structure might look like and decisions around both
information architecture and information management. Answering questions on Disposition or Retention of files in the file server for example might lead you to consider Records management features of SharePoint, routing rules and audit policies.
If all you want to do is dump files into SharePoint then you can just open a library in Explorer view and dump the files or do it via powershell:

Embed streaming video from FlashMedia Server 2 in a Captivate Course

I am trying to add streaming video from FlashMedia Server 2
Developer Edition in a Captivate 3.0 course. The streaming server
is working fine and I can stream video from a Flash 8.0 file. The
problem seems to be in Captivate 3.0 because the video will not
display in a Captivate swf file. The html and swf file resides on
the web server therefore it cannot not be a security issue. When I
try to play the Captivate file; it does make connection to the
media server however the flv file will not stream. The Bytes
Out(Bytes to the client) number stops incrementing after a 1,000
bytes. Once you close the browser then the connection to the media
server is lost. However if I insert a .fla file from Flash
8.0(which will connect to the streaming server and play) and
publish it in the Captivate project; It will connect to the server
and playback the audio but not the video. I turned on and off
hardware acceleration on my video card thinking that was the
problem. I would appreciate any help on this. Once I get this to
work I can justify purchasing the full version of the Flash Media
Server.

I think this isn't really an InDesign issue at all. It sounds like an Acrobat issue.
First, you haven't said what version of Acrobat you're using. I'm assuming Acrobat X Pro?
I've used this with a friend's Flash Media Server so I know it works. What version of Flash server do you have installed?
I the link you provide I see a spaceband after the word "test" in the path. Could that be a problem?
Other than that, it appears that you're following the requirements listed in the Help file for Acrobat X Pro.
If you have further problems, you might post this on the Acrobat User Forum.

2GB of video file upload to SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi All,
We have a requirement of uploading a 2GB of video file to a SharePoint 2013 document library. Will there be any issue due to increasing the maximum file size?
Many Thanks,
sudesh withanage

It will be better if you save all your videos at one location,i.e Asset Library.Check the link for Asset libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee414275(v=office.15).aspx
In case you want to add other files (i,e excel ,word) along with videos you will need to increase library size,
Check the following link to increase the file size ,as well as the issues and workaround to solve the problems

Is it possible to connect a local file server to 365 onedrive via sharepoint?

We have our local 2012 file server with everyones document directories and common shares. We use AD and have all user accounts defined. As part of our K12 licensing we have Office 365 E1 for all staff, so I set up the Azure AD Sync and we now have all the
staff accounts set up in 365 and people can work on Office from home.
The problem is that everyone wants their files from home as well, ideally in their OneDrive. OneDrive for Business doesn't seem to have a mechanism to sync all the files from our file server to each persons OneDrive automatically. I read somewhere that I
can do it by using SharePoint as a intermediary - that is I can set up a local sharepoint that syncs the fileserver to sharepoint, then I can set up the 365 sharepoint to sync between the onprem sharepoint and the 365 OneDrives.
This seems like a massive pain but is it doable? is there a better way or is it not possible and sharepoint/local files will always be separate from Onedrive? it seems like such a common and obvious request for people who can't dump local file servers.
Mark

not all to each, just duplicating our current system. Each user has a few hundred mb of files (on average) and there is a common drive with a few hundred gb.
Right now the assumption by Microsoft is that each user will individually install the local Onedrive app and sync their C: drive documents folder to their Onedrive. In our case we have the documents stored centrally and the onedrive app will not sync a network
folder. I am looking for some method of making it happen.

Embed video from host server?

How do I embed a video on a Muse page that is on my own host server? I have videos that are on a host server that I want to play on a Muse page. I do not want to upload them to Youtube or Vimeo.

You can always add some Video Player Widget that links to the videos you have stored on your FTP.
muse-themes.com has a couple of those.

Recording video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http.

As titled, what is the way to record video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http?
What I am trying to do, is to record a user's microphone's input and save it to the server. Afterwards, I would like other users to be able to access the recorded files and mainuplating the audio data, by computeSpectrum(), to do some visualization of the audio. As I know computeSpectrum() cannot work on streaming files, so I think I need to access the recorded files using http instead of rmtp. Is that true?
How can I redirect the http request to the files I was recorded into my applications/appName folder? Or I need to somehow moved the recorded files to the /webroot folder?
Thanks!

I probably have asked a stupid question.
My recorded streams are still saved in the applications/appName/streams folder.
And I redirect the www.mydomain.com/streams to point to the applications/appName/streams folder.
And the rmtp recorded streams are abled to connect through http now.

What file type is the best video format to house in Sharepoint?

I know there are a lot of video formats out there. What formats do most people use as a standard format with the greatest compression, video quality and viewing experience for most web sites use?

Yes, you can use "network shares" like recomend with Mike.
You can use to this method.
Open IIS, expand Sites, on your sharepoint site, create a virtual directory with name like "Video" and add a folder you can easly manage and give permission, dont use and change permissions on hive folder "12\template..."
Using this folder created and shared videos and is associated to sharepoint in a easy way....

Embedding "album cover" image in a video podcast file

I've created a video podcast and successfully submitted it to ITMS. The issue is that the individual episodes of my video podcast do not have cover art images associated with them. Instead, when I test subscribed to my video podcast, it generated an "album cover" for the podcast in a seemingly random fashion. For the first episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 6 of the .m4v file. and for the second episode, it grabbed a still frame from second 11 of the .m4v file.
So, I thought I would go into the .m4v file via QTPro and create an image metadata association like is done with ID3 tags in .mp3 files. However, I cannot find a away to do that.
Does anyone know how to embed an "album cover" image into a video podcast file (.m4v file)?
If I add an image to the file via iTunes Get Info>Art Work tab and then export it back to my server, will the added image stay embedded in the .m4v file so that when others subscribe to my video podcast they will see my selected "album" artwork for that episode?
You can view my video podcast at http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=83434502

Super Mario:
You were correct. Adding album artwork through iTunes "Get Info>Art Work" tab and then exporting my video podcast file back out to my server did the trick. I tested subscribing to it and this time my video podcasts had the album artwork that I selected attached to them.
Also, thank you for the compliment on my sci-fi video podcasts. I'm currently working on a major overhaul of the website which will serve the fans of the series (if any). You can check it out in about two days at http://www.sayremedia.com.

Embed a video in Muse?

Can I embed a video in Muse, and I can upload to ftp to the Internet?

Hello Mogens, The answer to the first part of your question is yes you can embed a video in a muse site. The code you isert as html which comes under the Object heading in the Menu. The video file or files must go in the Assets folder, File/ add files for upload. In your code you have to have your source as Assets. I have not got the hang of this forum business yet but will send my code under here in another answer. Mine was html 5 with no sound just a little animation but the code may be helpful to you. I am completely new to this game this is my first site but I have found Muse very good and the staff guys here a very helpful. I have not got as far as uploading to my server yet so I am afraid you will have to wait for someone else to answer that one. Hope this is helpful to you.

Help a newbie embed a video

Hey I'm doing a college project and we've not been taught all that much about using Flash yet and I won't be in college for another week. I want to embed some videos into a project I'm making using Flash 8 but it needs the videos hosted on a web server? I don't have access to that easily so I was trying to figure out a way to get around it, I tried to embed the video into the timeline and all it came back with was a black screen. Is there a way to have videos embedded without them hosted on a web server? Anything will do as long as the videos are there. Thanks.

Okay tried that and still didn't work. I had the option to embed it into the timeline checked, as well as 'Place instance on stage' 'Embed the entire video' and 'Expand timeline if needed' and it said at the bottom "The codec in the file you are importing does not support editing" Tried it and tested and it's a black screen I try to play, skip forward a frame and nothing happens at all.

How To Embed YouTube Videos in InDesign

First time poster, be gentle!
Anyways, I'm designing an internal newsletter for my company, and one of the feature stores includes talks about one of our clients' videos on YouTube, and I would like to embed that video into my InDesign file.
I followed the instructions at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSC117AD88-69F6-4658-A1F1-12012B15B9D7.htm, and everything seems to be OK until I click the "Verify URL and Movie Size" button. It gives me the error "URL does not refernce a movie type." I am assuming this is because it's a YouTube video and there are problems reading it, but is there any way around this?
Thanks for your help!

Just wondering if anyone has found a way to embed streaming media content such as youtube, vimeo, or other video provider movies into Indesign? I also need to be able to place streaming audio from an http source.
I want to export my indesign files to flash to create interactivity but really have no idea how to use Flash.
I am not even sure Flash can embed streaming media content from you Youtube or streaming audio content.
I looked into using PDF (via the Youtubewidget and it works great) but the issue I have there is that it's page transitions are very weak visually compared to that of Flash's page turn effect. I found a source for some code which looks Ok but does not compare to Flash. Here is the site link. http://www.coastworx.com/bookflip.php
Is there a way to export from a PDF to Flash and have all the media & links stay intact?
On another note, I did some testing in Indesign CS5. If you try and place a video from a URL it will require that the video start with HTTP or RTMP (for flash media server). I tried using the standard object embed codes from Youtube but it informs you that it is not properly formatted. I even tried to truncate it to start with the HTTP section of the code but it provided me with an error, stating it must start with HTTP or RTMP.
Does anyone know how to accomplish what I am looking to do?
Thanks in advance...

Configuring the file server in KM and access,edit the documents from it

Hi friends,
My requirement is to configure the file server where u will have all the structured and unstructured data stored here. So users can share the documents and create, edit ,save the documents from the file server itself.
In KM what kind of file servers are there apart from the one it supports by default.
Can anybody pls provide the configuration steps regarding how to configure the file server i KM.
To configure the file server is webDAV protocol required?
Points would be assigned for the helpful answer.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sireesha.

Dear Sireesha,
Well KM supports mostly all the File server however we have some restrictions with Novell FS and Sharepoint Server from Microsoft. Like versions and other meta data have some issues.
Alsothough to configure a File Server you need to first create a FS repository Manager. Details can be found in the help guide:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/92322ab24e11d5993800508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">FS Repository Manager</a>
Yes WebDAV protocol is required here.
You can create WebDav RM as well.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4a/217fb6c33c6748a1715a161ac942cd/frameset.htm">WEBDAV</a>
The above links will help answer your queries.

Network File sharing in SharePoint 2013 portal

Hi Everyone
I have a set of network folders(shared folder in some server) and want to make use of all this in SharePOint as a portal. So that i can eliminate the use of Network folder sharing concept. Bacially i need to know whether we have any OOB template/s available
in SharePoint 2013 or its a custom development ?
Regards
Prashanth
SharePoint Administrator

Hi Prashanth,
There are multiple ways to move content from fileShares to SharePoint.
Step 1: Create the SharePoint Information Architecture - create a site collection preferably chose a document center template, create document libraries and folders as per the network folder structure in your organization.
Step 2: Map your File Share as Network drive in your client machine, and same way map your SharePoint website document library as network drive too. Drag and drop files.
Note there are 2 issues for this approach,
1) your document metadata will be lost, the last modified by will change to the account with which you have logged into SharePoint while copying, and the last modified time will be changed.
2) Its a tedious manual approach if you have lots of files.
Now for retaining the metadata you will need to depend upon a 3rd party tools ( or this codeplex solution: http://f2sp.codeplex.com/ (I havent verified that this works with Sp 2013 or not).
Using 3rd party tools has the advantage of retaining metadata and any issues with file naming conventions will also be taken care of most of the prominent tools which otherwise needs to be taken care by administrator manually. - Note SharePoint has file
naming conventions - https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/905231?wa=wsignin1.0.
Also In order to reduce the effort in second step you can also create content organizer rules and map your drop off library as the drag and drop location.
finally do read this awesome blog post by Sean Earp and Andre Kieft before starting of with the project. http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2013/11/04/migrating-file-shares-to-sharepoint-online.aspx
Hope that helps.
