Endless buffering after video playback

using strobe media playback and FMS 4.5.1  I am getting an endless buffer after playing a video.  the only way to break this cycle is to refresh the page.  how can I fix this issue?

We solved this using the Javascript Bridge
There's not really any doc on it but demos here: http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/
This thread's ok too
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791624
Not sure if the 'complete' event actually works, but we had a hack using durationChange and currentTimeChange events and it works.
Trap for beginners - looks like the bridge created callback gets called by the player every tick -
So if you're doing stuff in there (like addEventListener) you'll gradually consume more and more cpu until everything craps out.
We solved by just putting everything in an "if" checking we hadn't already done that.

  • How to Prevent Endless Buffering after Playback?

    I'm using the Strobe Media Playback player.
    The video works very well on both iOS and Desktops, (I'm very pleased), but I'm seeing an anomaly after playback ends.
    When the video has finished playing, it begins buffering, or at least the "Buffering..." animated display appears, (see image below).
    This occurs only when viewing the desktop versions of the videos.  When I view it on an iPhone, the Buffering... message doesn't appear.
    How do I prevent "Buffering..." from appearing after a video finishes playing?  It gives the impression something's broken, or that more video is about to play.
    Here's the html I'm using to link to the Strobe Media Playback .swf:
    !-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  FLASH/ANDROID VERSION  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --> 
      <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
                        <script type="text/javascript">
                                  var flashvars = {};
                                  var params = {};
                                  params.allowfullscreen = "true";
                                  var attributes = {};
    swfobject.embedSWF("http://myFMS.scoe.net/videoPlayer/swfs/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf?src=http://myFMS.scoe.net/v od/myProject/myVideo_manifest.f4m", "myAlternativeContent", "325", "247", "10.1.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
    </script>

    This is a bug. I could fix it using the source patch below.

  • Video playback lagging while buffering

    Having a problem with video in my iPad app. The video is loaded from a server into an FLVPlayback component. While the video is buffering, the video playback is extremely choppy (like 1-2 FPS), but as soon as the buffering is complete, it plays smoothly. So obviously, the buffering itself uses too many resources (I've tested both on an iPad Mini and an ancient iPad 1).
    Is there any way to reduce the resource usage of the buffering process so I can start playing before buffering is complete? YouTube is able to buffer while playing the same devices, so it should be possible. The videos are pretty low quality and around 70mb, and the bufferTime is default, not that that should make a difference.

    But that's not the problem. The problem is that I cannot play the video smoothly while buffering is going on. It doesn't matter how much has actually buffered. It's as if the iPad's CPU is too bogged down by the buffering to play video at the same time, but I don't understand why, since YouTube and other apps (not made by me) are obviously able to do it on the same iPads.

  • Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

    Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed.  After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray.  Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
    I did that.  I reinstalled iTunes 10.5.  Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
    What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
    Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5?  It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
    Please advise.

  • Slow/unresponsive video playback, media pending, after CC'14 October update

    Encountering a strange issue after the October update. It's a project carried over from the previous CC'14 version, nothing crazy, about an 18 minute timeline of video/.mov clips straight off a JVC GY-HM600U with simple RGB curves/masks on some clips, some Prores422 clips of graphics exported out of After Effects, a couple nested sequences featuring simple text w/ cross dissolves, and a lower 3rd Quicktime with RGB+Alpha. There are some linked AE comps in the project but not in the sequence. Ran fine before update. Here's my system, obviously no CUDA so Mercury Playback is software only:
    Upon opening the project everything is fine, playback is smooth, scrubbing from beginning to end no problem. After a period of time, 10-15 minutes? Suddenly video playback hangs up, with audio continuing to play after . Opening a clip in the Source window displays the Media Pending thumbnail, after 15 seconds it seems to find the media but again it's only a still frame with video hanging up. Then audio seems to hang up and I can't do anything. I can still manipulate the UI but scrubbing through the timeline is completely unresponsive, pressing play does nothing.
    Quitting the program seems to freeze it, the window closes but it stays lit up in my dock and shows Application Not Responding, causing me to force quit.
    A system reboot yesterday seemed to clear the issue up for the remainder of the work day but it's back today. Not sure where the issue is coming from, but seems like some kind of memory leak or something similar since it seems to be a gradual degradation in performance. I'll have to roll back to a previous version to finish up this project until things are fixed.

    Hello,
    Many thanks for your very long reply and your interest in my problems.
    I shall try to answer you :
    - 1) OS :  Windows 7 64 bits Pro SP1, french,
                     Version : 6.1.7601.18247 (Win7RTM)
                     Framework.NET : 4.0.30319.18408 built by : FX451RTMGREL)
                     DirectX : 11.0,
                     OpenGL : 6.1.7600.16385 (Win7_rtm.090713-1255).
    - 2) Yes the media pending goes away but after a couple of minutes (one
    year ago I was using PP CS6 and Encore CS6, I never had this problem
    even with very long files),
    - 3) Yes my GPU driver is updated (Nvidia GeForce 332.21 dated 12/19/2014).
    I never had thiese problems with PP CS6 + Encore CS6 and my projects
    built with these PP ans Encore version were with the same structure and
    length (in PP CS6 : sequences up to 45 minutes, in Encore CS6 chapters
    up to the same time).
    The difference between are in my hardware :
    - the RAM was upgraded from 12 GB to 24 GB,
    - the CPU was overclocked from 3,2 GHz (default) to 3,88 GHz).
    - 4) I shall try up to the disk burn to check if the problem is just due
    to display of "animated buttons".
    I hope my answer will be usefull for you.
    Regards,
    Jacques Gourier.

  • Program Monitor is Black, no video playback after installing new graphics card

    I bought a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card a few days ago, and since it's been installed, I've been unable to watch video playback in my program, source or even reference monitor.
    Similarly, If I designate one of my monitors soley for video playback, the screen is just black, and as the timecode advances on my timeline I only hear sound.
    My project is using "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" for Premiere Pro CS6.0.1
    I went from using one graphics card to using two graphics cards, and installed a third monitor. I've spent the last few days trying everything I could think of, I even uninstalled and re-installed premiere.
    Hardware Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
    HP Pavilion h8-1230z
    AMD-FX8150 3.59Ghz 8 core processesor
    16GB RAM
    600W PS
    EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 550Ti
    PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000
    I am using a PCI x16 for the Quadro 2000
    I am using a PCI x1 slot w/x1-x16 adapter for the 550Ti
    Could this be the problem?
    Additional Information
    Vectorscope, All scopes, YC Waveform - Display modes all work.
    I downloaded the most recent Nvidia drivers for both of my cards.
    I haven't received any error messages or had any problems in After Effects CS6, as video playback is working properly in my other adobe applications.

    I am still building a new system, so currently I'm still using a 480. You can read all about my choices and progress here: Adobe Forums: Planning / building a new system. Part 1
    There are 11 entries in the Benchmark Results that succesfully use the GTX 680, even though it is not 'supported'. They all use the 'hack'. However, the 680 has been added to the list of supported cards for AE, so it is only a matter of time before the 680 will be added to the list of supported cards for PR. Todd had made that clear. Now, when the 680 is added, it makes sense that the 670 will also be added. My guess is that both will be added in a short while.

  • Video playback control won't show after upgrade to 3.1

    Hi,
    I have a iPod Touch 2nd Generation. After upgrading from 2.2 to 3.1, when I tap the video during video playback, the playback control won't show. I have to tap it many many times in order for the playback control to show. Does anyone have the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It is upsetting to pay for an upgrade that would break existing behavior.
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and the reset didn't fix it. In fact I went in to the store and the Apple Genius saw the issue and replaced my ipod with a rebuilt ipod that had ipod 2.x software. I upgraded it to 3.2 and once again the playback controls don't show up. Called support and they think it's a bug ... hoping for a fix.
    Any ideas?

  • MPEG-2 file with AC3 5.1 audio: no audio (neither in current video playback, nor after encode), but plays okay in QuickTime X

    Mavericks 10.9.3
    Latest Mac Mini, 8GB RAM, two 256GB SSD
    Compressor 4.1.1
    I have an MPEG-2 file with AC3 5.1 audio which plays in QuickTime X as expected.
    I have a second MacBook Pro with Compressor 4.1.1, where the audio is fine - both as current video playback of the source, and post-encode using Apple Devices HD (best quality) setting.
    However in the Mac Mini Compressor there is no audio (neither in current video playback of the source, nor after encode using Apple Devices HD (best quality) setting).
    Troubleshooting
    - main difference between machines is the Mac Mini has Elgato software (EyeTV and Game Capture HD)
    - I've checked the QuickTime components are same on both machines, except for EyeTV audio component on Mac Mini
    - there are no plug-in audio components
    - I've repaired permissions using Disk Utility
    - I moved Compressor to trash, deleted compressor plist files, and reinstalled

  • No sound on any video playback after 5-10 seconds

    The sound on my second generation ipad seems to disappear after 5-10 seconds of watching any video playback, although sound works when i stream to my apple TV so I'm assuming its the device that's problematic. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue and get sound from the ipad would be greatly appreciated.

    Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Video playback speed in After Effects

               After importing QuickTime video into After Effects it plays back at about half (or even slower) the initial frame rate (13 fps or so instead of 29.97 fps). Also in the top right corner of the workspace (Info Panel) I'm getting a message that "...Layer 1 Retrieving Frame".
               Could you, please, give me an advise how to return video playback to normal speed?
               Thank you.

              Sure, After Effects isn't a movie player. But it is possible to edit source footage in AE in order to make a coherent whole out of it, isn't it?
    Technically possible, but not an ideal workflow. I can also cut through my filet mignon with a spoon, but I can do it a lot faster and with much less frustration if I use my steak knife.
    I edit in Premiere and then use the Import>Adobe Premiere Pro Project option in After Effects to bring my edit into AE.
