Flash media playback not playing local files?

hi
I want to use flash media playback http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaplayback/ to play some local FLV files on our intranet but it doesnt seem to work with local files
I can play this http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/ but when i replace the source with something like test.flv then it doesnt play
Is this the case or I've done something wrong?
We cant download anything so I need a flv player that comes with Adobe
Thanks

but fell at last hurdle. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Can't seem to stream (RTMP) an FLV file in Flash Media Playback from the Amazon Cloud

I seem to be having trouble streaming any FLV file using RTMP from the Amazon Cloud. Other file formats (i.e., MP4, F4V) seem to work just fine.
I tried using your Flash Media Playback demo page and still had the same problem:
http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/
Without publicly displaying the actual connection path here, this is what I am using for the Video Source (URL):
rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/_definst_/MyVideo.flv
If I change the "MyVideo.flv" to "mp4:MyVideo.f4v", for example, then it works. But when I try to reference any FLV file that I have located on the Amazon Cloud then it just shows continuous buffering.
The FLV files that I am trying to use with both the Strobe and Flash Media Playback(s) all stream just fine when I connect to them via other Flash based applications/players that I have.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
The link to the previous post does not seem to apply or help in this case. Please let me know if I am wrong.
I am merely trying to stream any FLV file using your Flash Media Playback demo page. What am I missing here?
Thanks again.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.
Regards.

Flash Media Playback configurator swf file size

Hello,
I just start using the Flash Media Playback configurator : http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/ and I am very surprised that the size of the swf file is less than 2KB. The swf file used is http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf
How did you compile it to make it so small ? It is based on OSMF ?
Usually the swf file's size of a flash video player based on OSMF seems to be greater. For example the swf file used on page http://www.osmf.org/ (http://www.osmf.org/strobe1_0/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf) is about 193KB or on page http://osmf.org/dev/1.6gm/setup.html (http://osmf.org/dev/1.6gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf) is about 422KB.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply Gelu. I emptied the cache of my web browser and had a look at all http requests (with Charles proxy and Firebug) sent when loading the page http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/. The only .swf loaded I can see is http://fpdownload.adobe.com/strobe/FlashMediaPlayback.swf.
Is there another cache involved ?
Thanks,
Thomas

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
A) As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site: http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
B) If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP. But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
search the internet for it.
C) The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec. Other things that have helped others, some from:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
(1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
(2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
(3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,
(4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
(5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
Good luck,

My Live & Vod Flash Service can't run.
Is Flash Media Playback termination of services?

How to access the page ??
Flash Media Playback Setup page
To copy the embed code, visit the Flash Media Playback Setup page at osmf.org/configurator/fmp/. The Flash Media Playback Setup page (see Figure 2) contains two main sections on the left and the right. Use the form on the left to enter the values for your video: video source location and various custom settings. The right side of the page contains a preview player and the preview embed code. Enter the values and then click Preview to generate the proper embed code.
I tried the above link and it takes me to the blogs.adobe.com .

After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

I may have found an answer here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Thanks Janaki but how can I add a new application? I tried to do it using Flash Media Administration Console but it doesn't work
Hi Salma,
To add an application to FMS follow the below steps
1. Create a folder "my_app" under "$InstallRoot\applications" directory.
2. For simple server side code... add "main.asc" file inside "$InstallRoot\applications\my_app" directory which has the content like
application.onConnect = function(clientObj){
trace('onConnect function");
return true;
3. To add streams to the application, creates 'streams' folder inside "$InstallRoot\applications\my_app" directory, within that create '_definst_' folder and then place your FMS supported streams within the directory. So your streams for the 'my_app' application will be at "$InstallRoot\applications\my_app\streams\_definst_\mystream.flv".
You can connect to this application using the url "rtmp://your_server_name/my_app". To play the stream mystream.flv using video player, use the url "rtmp://your_server_name/my_app/mystream.flv".
Regards,
Janaki L

Flash Media Playback?

Does Adobe expect us to use FMP to play videos off AMS? If so, is there an easy solution for closed captioning?
All the videos on Adobe.com have a CC button, but it appears to not be standard on FMP. Why is that?

Yahoo webplayer continuously "buffering" and never plays local files

I installed the yahoo webplayer to play mp3's on the html page. Works fine on the net. Playing local files, it is continuously buffereing and doesn't play. In DW live view, the css box in the right hand corner flashes as the flash screen operates. The flash screen moves at half speed. It appears that the webplayer is somehow interfering with the flash and vice versa. Anybody seen this before?
<p><a href="samples/song1-1.mp3">song1-1</a></p></td><td align="center" width="52">

Most likely a pathing issue.
... Have no idea what a "yahoo webplayer to play mp3's" is or how it works.
But the action (or in-action) you are describing sounds like the player is not finding the audio file... most likely because the path to the mp3 is wrong, relative to the player.
Only guessing... since there is no way for us to know what your "working" version of the embedding mp3 player code is without a link to the actual Web page...
but an online player, will almost NEVER be able to find any content on your local machine....

DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

Go this this thread for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

No audio streaming RTMP from Red5 to Flash Media Playback

I am streaming RTMP from a Red5 server and viewing with Flash Media Playback. The video is fine but there is no audio. The audio from the same stream comes through when I try playing it with the FlashRTMPPlayer Demo that is included with Wowza so I know that the audio is in the stream. Is there any debugging information I can look for or any other configuration settings I need to try?
Any help would be appreciated.
