Hi LittleMuscle,
Can you provide more details on what encoding, server types,
hosting, etc you are using?
When you write that "FXVideo takes too long to load vids", am
I correct that you are referring to Emanuil Rusev's open source
Flex video player at:
http://www.fxcomponents.com/?p=29
Why, specifically, do you think that it is the client video
player that "takes too long to load"?
Do you (or a member of your team), have extensive experience
with publishing video on the web?
Have you optimized the encoding? If so, what have you
optimized it for? Robert Reinhardt's FLV Bitrate Calculator here
highlights the interplay of the variables to be taken into account:
http://blogs.flashsupport.com/robert/?p=138
You write "it is streaming." Are you using Flash Media Server
as your streaming server? If so, FMS3? Or, other?
Again, if you can provide more details we may be better able
to assist you.
btw, If you have Flash CS3, it is possible (using the Flex
Component Kit for Flash CS3), to use the Flash FLVPlayback
component in Flex apps. The Flash FLVPlayback component certainly
is the most fully functional FLV video player that is generally
available (and really well documented and supported too). For
details on how to use the Flash FLVPlayback component in Flex,
please see this post by the amazing Stefan Richter:
Using the Flash FLVPlayback Component in Flex 2.01

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.

FLV player, displaying duration and time

Hello,
I am in need of some help!
I have a FLV player that uses the netstream method to call in
external flv files. I'd like the flv player to identify how long
the specified flv file is, in minutes, and display it in a text
field. I would also like the time elapsed to be dispayed, when the
video is actually being played.
How would i go about getting this functionality to work?
I will post my code up if you guys want to see it but for the
time being i'd just like some advice.
I hope someone can help!
Regards

Hi Guys! Yes, I'm sure you can do it in Flash ...
You can display a
clock displaying
timeof day. There is all kinds of information about this at
Edmund Mullen's site, located at:
http://ed.mullen.home.comcast.net/fclock.html
If you want a SWF you can insert into a Captivate movie that
displays elapsed time, I have a diferent suggestion. First,
understand that elapsed time (ET) can be a tricky bugger, becuase
it is probably not "straight-ahead" elapsed time. If your Captivate
movies have any interactivity, you may or may not want those
"pauses" counted in elapsed time metering. You need something
special, and as Rick said, that animal don't live here ...
Contact Paul Dehurst (fellow community expert) and ask if
Paul will build you something like this. He may be too busy, or
just not interested in extra work right now, but if he does it for
you, he'll do a good job. Expect to pay him a negotiated fee - it
will be reasonable. Paul can be reached right here, or at his
web-site at:
http://www.raisingaimee.co.uk/
Click the link to: "
Contact Paul:"
Second idea, if Paul can't be convinced to help you out ...
call RentaCoder. You can reach them at:
http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/default.asp
Seriously, these folks might be the most underappreciated
people on the net. In just a few minutes at their site, you can
find a programmer in almost any software language - often close to
your physical location. No, I haven't personally used them, but a
company I contracted with recently had a need for a special Flash
tool, and contacted a Flash coder through "rentacoder" - and were
very pleased. Good luck!

Looking for FLV player with playlist for my Flash site

I've been looking for an FLV player that I can embed "inside" my flash site--most likely loaded as an external swf via loadClip inside my main swf file. I also need it to be AS2 compatible for my current project. If anyone has some ideas please share, thanks.
-David

I have a sample here http://www.smithmediafusion.com/blog/?p=337 that uses an rss feed as the playlist.

FLV Player Component seemingly not working in Firefox

I've set up an swf where I have an FLV Player component on stage, pointing to an external flv.
Offline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing). Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to?
I don't get it... I can't seem to get progressive downloading working in ANY format. I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try. I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.
Any solutions that work would be hugely appreciated. I've been at this for over a week, and found no answers online so far.
All I want:
Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.
I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside.... and neither are working for me for some reason.

[UPDATE] Okay, now I got it working for now (...no idea what changed, or if it will continue to work). Only issue currently is that it's loading the clip right away (on entry of the HTML page),as opposed to when I click Play... so I'll still have the bottlenecking of all the clips loading at once. Is there some setting in the FLV Player component (or HTML) where I can have them only start downloading the clips when I click play?
I only want the clips downloaded if the visitor chooses to view the clips.
Would setting a preview in the FLV Player component do that (...load only the preview frame, and hold off until play is hit)?

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!

I need H.264 / mp4. Compressor does not deliver for JW FLV Player

Alright,
I've been fighting this all day now. Why does QuickTime Conversion in Final Cut Pro have a way to convert to H.264 but Compressor does not? It only has "H.264 for Apple Devices". Why only for Apple devices? I don't get it.
I'm exporting for the web. I'm using the JW FLV Media Player
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
There is no Video ONLY Audio with files converted with Compressors MPEG-4 when viewed on the PC or a Web browser. MPEG-4 makes it Apple MPEG4 Decompressor which is not compatible on everything.
I need a universal format for the web. The MP4 QT Export feature in FCP works great but there are no presets like in Compressor.
Apple and Adobe will soon no longer be supporting FLV so I need another solution.

Yes! Exactly, Thank you.
Because compressor makes it Apple MPEG4 Decompressor. So anyone not using a Mac can't view the video. The H.264 presets in Compressor are worthless. They have pre-configured settings compressed so freakin' high your video looks like a swamp.
Mov. files do not work well with JW Player because they do not buffer for Windows users and unless you are using a Mac, the compatibility is terrible for PC guys.
For me, the best solution for JW Player is to use the QuickTime Export in Final Cut as follows:
In Final Cut Pro ::
1. Choose File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion.
2. For format choose MPEG-4.
3. Windows Shows. Choose MP4 for file format.
4. Video format choose H.264.
5. Data rate to 800 kbps.
6. Adjust Image Size.
7. AAC for Audio format/128kbps/stereo/44.1/best.
8. Stream No.
If anyone has a better solution for JW Player, please reply. But so far this is the best working and highest quality setting for JW Player... while still having a small file too.
Thanks!

Building FLV Player for FMS Video and Audio

Hi All,
Am new to flash development. I would need all of your
knowledge to build an application for FLV Streaming.
I need to write a FLV player which dynamically picks the file
from FMS Server by taking the arguments password to the
movie/player.
Please let me know how do i go about it.
Thanks in Advance
Mady

arunbe,
I read the live docs information about NetStream.onMetaData,
and this tells me that it is possible that I might get some
information about an audio codec, but it doesn't really help all
that much in learning if there is a way to tell if there is an
audio track present at all. Does such a possibility exist?

Get rid of rounded corners in Flash flv player skin?

Hi,
I'm using Flash CS3 on Mac OS X creating a couple of clips.
Regretfully,
the default flv player skins in CS3 all have rounded bottom
corners. As
the site's entire layout is very "square", these corners are
standing
out like sore thumbs.
I suspect that there has to be a parameter somewhere within
the swf-file
that takes care of this, but I haven't a clue, really.
Can someone please explain how to make the corners square
shaped?
TIA
Macaroni

From the Flash help:
The best way to create a skin SWF file is to copy one of the
skin files that come with Flash, and use it as a starting point.
You can find the FLA files for these skins in the Flash application
folder in \en\Configuration\FLVPlayback Skins\FLA\ActionScript 3.0
To make your finished skin SWF file available as an option in the
Select Skin dialog box, put it in the Configuration/FLVPlayback
Skins/ActionScript 3.0 folder, either in the Flash application
folder or in a user's local \en\Configuration\FLVPlayback
Skins\FLA\ActionScript 3.0 folder.
Or, you can completely make youre own buttons and asign them
to the FLVplayback as controlls with actionscript. For example:
myFLVplayer.stopButton = myStopButton;
myFLVplayer.playButton = myPlayButton;

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.
It works without problem when I test it locally. Trouble is when I upload it, everything displays correctly but the flv movie file doesn't play. Here's the test link:
http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.html
XML file is http://www.swsoftware.com/NCJHS/Assets/Video/video.xml
Flash file is http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.fla
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to flash and this forum has been a tremendous help in resolving my (somewhat numerous) problems.

May I know what might cause this problem?
I m usng action script 3, flash cs3 & all my browsers
already upgrade to latest version of Flash Player.
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

Release the memory with stop the flv player

Hi
I have a problem with using flash component flv player. In my project, I have some buttons which every one load a movie. when click a button , at first the before movie was loading should be stoped then the new movie start. I stop the before one with this code:
flvPlayback1.stop();
      if(flvPlayback1.parent) {
      flvPlayback1.closeVideoPlayer(1);
   removeChild(flvPlayback1);
but it seams these codes could not release the memory, because after loading the next movie the memory usage will increase about 0.1G,
