Flash media player and proxy

Not sure if this is the correct forum to use for this question... so if I'm in the wrong place - let me know.
Am streaming video using a Flash media server and the FLV Playback component. Actionscript 2. Our company goes to the internet through a proxy. Here's what's happening: When we try to play the video from our workstations the player tries to go directly to the server instead of going through the proxy. It fails a couple of times then may or may not go through the proxy. Is there a way to make the FLV Playback component go directly through the proxy without waiting for it to fail? Can't find code for that?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
"If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

How to download mozilla fire fox and adobe flash media player

Hi I am so lost i cant seem to download all the stuff i need to set up my notebook (iBook G4) i just need to find out how i can update my mac os x 10.4 to a later version also since mine is obsolete it wont let me download firefox or adobe flash media player. Im not good with computers so i may need instructions to be easy to understand.

Hello,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Flash is a nightmare, but my notes on that...
Look for this for the Standalone player "Download the Macintosh Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger (ZIP, 5.95 MB)"
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

Stand alone player...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/450421/LastFlashPPC.zip
Or free 3rd party...
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_standalone_flv_player.html
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Windows Media player and flash player conflicting

Hello,
I have a problem with watching streams (television programs)
on the internet. I think this is caused by conflicting roles of
windows media player and flash player. When i don't have installed
flash player i can watch the streams. When i install flash player,
i see only green and red blocks on the respective screen. I don't
know where the problem lies. I have installed Windows Media player
again, (also Flash player) but this hasn't worked. The streams work
with Mozilla firefox.
I hope you could really help me,
Sincerily,
Tuncie

Hi Tuncie
Verify that Windows Media Player is not set as the default
player for all content in Firefox including Flash.
Also, please respond with a URL for testing.

Flash media server and strobe media player

Hi,
any one is done by sample program with Strobe media player and Flash media server?if yes means please send me some tutorials or sample file with steps how to do.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in FMS and Strobe Media Player. SMP is a out of box sample player that can play streams from FMS and no coding is required for its basic functionality.
It can play RTMP and HTTP dynamic Streaming / HTTP progressive as well as multicast streams.
Download the Strobe media playback from http://www.osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html , host it on a webserver and launch in a broswer.
launch either strobemediaplayback.html or setup.html to setup your own player with different settings.
Thank you !

Flash media player in my browser resets security/privacy settings!

Why do the last three versions of flash media player in my browser reset my security and privacy settings leaving my system totally vunerable??? I have set and reset multiple times both locally and on the global settings panel on the Adobe web site.

Reguardless of what is "encoded" into Shockwave Flash streaming player the fact that the settings default back to accept update notifications, allow peer to peer sharing, and storage settings still exist since the last several program updates.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
All programs have been updated, re-installed to all current versions. Checked everyday the player will reset anywhere from one to five days from being set. I also check before and after any utilities run on my systems to verify the change is not caused by any resident commands or software. Yes this happens on different computers and OS.
I run all maintenance and security manually, including updates of any kind.

Playing website videos requiring flash media player.

Websites such as cnn.com and foxnews.com as well as many others offer video clips for viewing, but they require use of a flash media player. Is it possible to play such clips on an IPhone and, if so, how?

No. iPhone does not support Flash.

Flash Media Player- missing controls

I am using the flash media player. When I publish the file, the controls seem to be missing from the player. I have the skin.swf file uploaded with the player....but it appears missing?
Could something else be causing this?

How Access a Third Party Flash Media Player

Hello eveyone,
I was wondering if there is any way that I can know some how
what buttons "Play, Pause, FF, etc. " has been clicked a third
party Flash Media Player?
Thank you and have a great day.
Khoramdin

Thanks for the suggestions it appears I was doing more or less the right things but miss reading the error message:
Cannot access keyword.classes.thirdPartyClass
bad class file C:\java\keyword\classes\thirdPartyClass
class file contains wrong class: thirdPartyClass
please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectroy of the classpath.
While looking I have found that the classes do not contian src folders of Javadoc so I will go see if the third party can supply a Jar file or similar.
Thanks

Can you add actions to the Flash Media Player?

I have 2 wmv files. One is the audio and one is the video. I
don't own any software that combines both formats maintaining
perfect video quality. If I import the video wmv file into Flash
(converting it first with the Flash video encoder) is there any way
I can create an action that plays and pauses a seperate audio track
in the project file (when hitting the button in the Flash media
player). ??
Thanks

look into the Sound class.

I need a Flash Media player....

Hey folks, how you doing....
I'm working on a project and I'm in need of a flash media
player, but not just any kind....
I've work with various mp3 as well as FLV video players, and
have had much success using them, but for this project I want to
add something special. It needs to be a bit of a all in one
unit....
The best example I could find of the kind of thing I'm
looking for was on the official John Mayer Site. (
http://www.johnmayer.com )
As you can see I would like the player to be able to play
back Video as well as audio (with jpeg background), have a active
play list and of course have the standard controls: Play, stop,
volume, next etc.... I would assume that the data will be fed from
an XML file as most players do.
If there's anyone out there that can help me with a easy
solution to implement this, or know whether I could purchase one
(commercially or private), please let me know. I would appreciate
it very much.
Thanks in advance.
Johnny

Hi Johnny,
You can create your own FLV player and add the mp3
functionality into this
example.
http://www.flashjester.com/index.php?section=faq_search&search=flv#385
p.s it resizes at runtime which normal flash files you cannot
do.
Hope you find this useful. Its a good start.

Flash media player in apex.

I need help finding more informaiton on using flash media player in apex applications.
I have some audio files that we need to save in a database and be able to playback from the application. We can't have the information download or save to users machines before playing.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,
If you're playing the audio file by using a Flash component then the user won't be directly downloading the file themselves, it will be the 'responsibility' of the flash component to set its 'source' to point at the audio file in question.
If you're asking how do you then prevent someone from directly downloading the audio file, then that's actually far more difficult to achieve so it depends how 'secure' you want to be. I'd need more details really on your particular situation to be able to advise anything more.

Cannot associate media file types .swf .flv with Adobe Flash media player

I have been trying to associate these media types ( .swf .flv ) with Adobe Flash media player (9.0.124 latest from Adobe site) but cannot see the program in the list (looked under Adobe, Flash, Macromedia, Common etc) after loading. I have repeated the process, rebooted, and no luck.
Any ideas why a new program should not show in the Programs list ?
thanks

Hey sdalek,
It's actually not all sites. I've found a few that work. I'll have a look for any difference in implementation to try to narrow down the issue.

Thanks, I'm curious to find out what's different. I've repair disk permissions again using the one in Disk Utility instead of Cocktail with not luck As far as I can tell, all my issues seem to be occurring solely on www.adultswim.com and is sill happening with Camino, Firefox, Safari, and SWF & FLV Player. I'll keep checking other sites to see if the problem manifests itself elsewhere and I'll post any other changes I make to my system that might appear to help.

Record playback is very slow between Flash Media Server and Flash

hi all
I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
that the flv record is being created properly.
Then if I try to playback the record like
NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
slow, for both of audio and video.
And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
(NetStream.play("streamName"))
Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards

In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps.

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
