Flash streaming issue

My dinosaur computer is an early 2008 macbook, I have Lion installed but notice when I try to stream videos from netflix or videos streamed from the internet that are broadcast in Flash that my computer is so taxed it goes up to 85 degrees Celsius in about 10 minutes and then will shut down.
Any tips on how to improve this so it doesn't keep happening?
I am saving up to get a new laptop and am planning to get a new Macbook pro for the next laptop, air has only one port and I need the firewire and usb ports for external hard drives. I wanted to know if when I get a new macbook pro will I still have the same problem? or are the newer computers more powerful that I will see a lot of improvement or just a little in this problem with streaming videos, it also happens if I try to use youtube.

Also before anyone asks we are using RTMP and the file type is F4V not FLV.

Live Flash Streams issue on Multiple Macs - video frozen, audio only

With live Flash streams on some Macs, the video doesn't play and only the audio does (or more accurately, the video plays for a second or so and then shows a frozen frame while the audio keeps going). We've had this occur on three different Macs so far, but not all Macs we've tested on. We were able to look up the graphics cards on two of them that had issues and they both have both NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT listed in the System Profiler.
Having the user manually disable hardware acceleration fixes the issue, as does pausing and then playing the video. Running Safari in 32 bit mode did NOT fix the issue.
Flash player release notes list this as a known issue. When might a patch for be released? We don't want to disable hardware acceleration for all Mac users because it only affects some of them and thus some / many would be unnecessarily negatively impacted.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90194.html#main_known%20issues
Mac users may run into rendering issues with certain live streams due to an incompatibility between the stream encoding and the hardware decoder. We are aware of this issue and are working with Apple to resolve it. Users may workaround the issue by pausing and then unpausing the live stream. Developers can work around this issue by forcing the video to be decoded in software - create two Video objects, attach the stream to the first, then stop it and attach the stream to the second Video object (2819870, 2818959, 2779420).

From Brad Outlaw:
Are you reusing the same Video object for the new NetStreams? Have you tried doing a Video.attachNetStream(null), Video.clear() and then attaching the new (or re-allocated) NetStream object? The video pipeline might be playing out some residual data that was sent to it from the prior NetStream.
Adding those suggestions seems have have done the trick. I had simply been trying to manipulate the NetStream and not the Video. Although I did try attaching a null NetStream to the video at one point, I had not done so with the Video.clear().

How to create a Playlist in flash Streaming Server

Hi all,
        am new in the flash streaming server. I download the Flash streaming server and install it its work fine.
I want know about the following question:
          how to stream the video using playlist?
          What is the format of the playlist?
          can i create a playlist from visual studio.Net and pass the value to the player?
awaiting your reply,
Thanks in advance.

If you have bought Streaming Server License - you want to be able to create any server-side playlists as you cannot write you own customized code on Streaming Server.
However what you can do is create client-side playlist using client-side code, place all your files in media folder of VOD and use them in your playlist. Playlist is nothing but set of plays which are queued up so you just need to issue NetStream plays with last parameter "reset" set to false - this is so that you do not reset your previous play.
So it would be like
ns.play("abc",0,20,true);
ns.play("xyz",0,30,false);
ns.play("uvw",0,20,false);

Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

Hi guys,
I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
Thanks!!

Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
and adobe flash player activex both....
Then select windows 8 and flash player from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Install and check..

General query regarding the implementation of a Flash Streaming Server

Hey lads,
I'm looking at setting up an Adobe Flash Streaming Server at
work. It will be used primarily to stream training videos across
our Intranet - we have ~1000 users at the moment, with the capacity
to expand to ~2000). We are looking at both filming with a camera
and screencasting (using either
Camtasia or Adobe
Captivate) and then encoding to .FLV
Camtasia can encode directly to FLV, however I'm not too sure
of the quality, so the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder looks like a
good option too. For the time being we will just be concentrating
on the screencasting though.
The good thing is i can download a development server for
free from Adobe which gives me complete access with just a
restriction on the amount of users that can access the content
(10).
From what i can gather the (simple) way it works (and that
I want it to work) is that you have a standard template SWF
file containing relevant actionscript (sitting in most probably in
a html/php/asp/ect file on the webserver), which then calls the FLV
file from the flash server and streams the content to the clients
PC. I assume i will pass a variable to the SWF file (the video ID i
want), and that will then be used to call the corresponding FLV
file.
So effectively a YouTube website, i.e:
watch?
v=WjK6wNIWzts
I just wanted to know if anyone had any general tips on how i
should approach this? Obviously quality vs file size will be a big
point - deciding on a standard FLV format will be a mission,
however i do have the benefit of an internal network so can anyone
recommend some good encoding tips? I was actually thinking of
encoding a low quality and high quality version, but i don't think
that's really sustainable/effective.
There is a bit of documentation around for this, but they
tend not to answer the basic questions. Am i heading in the right
direction?
Thanks for your help :)

If you are not able to find older version of connector on Metalink then raise an SR with Oracle and give proper Business Justification for the same.

Major streaming issue!

Hey Guys,
I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
Netgear 802.11G Router
SSID off
WEP 128 Bit hex key
DHCP
Wireless devices
Powerbook G4
Macbook
Apple TV
iPod Touch
XP laptop
Wired device
XP desktop
All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

Encore CS4 problem uploading flash streams to remote ftp in build

Hi
I'm working on a windows XP and trying to upload to my my remote server which has a new install of the Adobe Flash Streaming Media Server 3.5
as for Encore
under build when creating a streaming flash I can't log into my ftp site, only to local folder.
I created a link to my ftp site under networks, when trying to link to this FTP Encore won't accept it.
no problem creating flash progressive downloads but impossible to upload the streaming version.
progressive is really not the desired output.
how can I log onto the ftp site?
thanks in advance
Klaus

If FTP still doesnt work for you, please try uploading videos to FTP server without using Encore (try windows FTP or a FTP client). If you cannot upload videos anyway, the problem could be with FTP server configuration.
Following are the steps to setup your streaming server. (Steps are for Microsoft IIS FTP server on WinXP. You can use another server also)
1. You have to install a Flash Media Server 3.5 and a FTP server for this. FMS 3.5 free developer edition can be downloaded from www.adobe.com
2. Install IIS on winXP from Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (You may need a windowsXP installation DVD)
3. Configure FTP server to point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod\media" folder
(FTP server can be configured from IIS window in Control Panel > Administrative Tools> IIS. Right click Default FTP site > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Set Local Path to "FMS3\applications\vod\media\media" folder)
4. Encore streaming script for the server will still point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod" and not to Media folder inside Vod. (For example, if FMS server name is amgupta, FLV streaming location will be "rtmp://{FMServerName}/vod/"
5. Encore streaming script should be updated at 2 places with the new server names. ("rtmp://FMSservername/vod/flv:" and ftp://FTPservername ). The script is located at "X\Adobe Encore CS4\Required\flashExportScript\localFMS.jsx" where X is the install location of Encore CS4)
Hope this works.

YouTube streaming issues

Is anyone else having YouTube streaming issues? I can only get about 5-10 seconds of video to play. Then if I try to restart the video it doesn't play at all. It's been this way for a couple of days now. It doesn't matter which wifi network I'm on either. I read the videos are going through an Apple proxy server so I wonder if the server is having issues since it used to work just fine.
I have a new 8GB 3g touch with about 1.5 GB of free space. All other Internet apps work fine.
-posted from my touch using Safari.
Dan

Restored and setup as a brand new iPad - same issue.
Likely the app itself,
Other apps such as twitch.tv / Air video HD etc stream without issue (even with the screen auto locking
I'll bring this up with Google.

IS07 Car Music Bluetooth Streaming Issue - Help Needed

I drive an Audi A1 which I have owned from new 11 months ago. I updated my iPhone 5 to the IS 7.0.4 around 1 month ago and since doing that I now have streaming issues in my car. The connection is via bluetooth, and the music is streamed from my iPhone, however since the update the music cuts out, skips and pauses............
I took the car to a service centre today where it was confirmed a known issue within the Audi network.
So how do we go around this? What do I need in order to stream music without the interference? I am pretty sure Apple wouldn't want to pay my car invoice for the added extras that I purchased in order for me to enjoy my music so surely there must be a way around this?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

This is not about law, it's about software/hardware. But since you're bringing it up, when Siri was introduced for the iPhone 4s, there was a man in a car using siri with his apple earplugs. I searched for law about this in my country (Netherlands) and it's not forbidden.
Now back to my issue: I want to use a headphone to listen to music and I want to make a call through bluetooth. Iphone doesn't remember I was listening to the music through the headphone. Issue, right?

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
I use Vista Home premium
I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
Example
icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
Could it be because of flash player issues? or because I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function. Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

Exported Flash IIS issue

Hi,
I have exported an Encore project to Flash and it works ok locally.
When i copy the all the exported files onto a Webserver, then create a virtual directory pointing to it, the main menu appears yet none of the video plays.
The source folder etc has been copied over, as i see that has been an issue in previous posts.
The server is Win2003 and the virtual directory is added to the default web site.
I am making no amendments to the exported files except moving them to a webserver.
Can anyone please help?

The only Encore/Flash related issue that could be going on is that you haven't copied ALL of the items used (the source folder, the .html, the .swf). But, since you said you did all that, then I don't know why that wouldn't work for you.
In the URL, do you have a trailing "/" at the end? That can play a role. Also, check case-sensitivity (type in the URL exactly as the folder is listed).
I'm sure you've got your own reasons for using virtual directory...however, have you tried setting up the Flash DVD on the site any other way to at least determine whether or not your virtual directory setup is the source of the problem? Try setting it up some other way....if it works, then you at least have a better idea where the problem lies. If it still doesn't work, then....something may well be missing, despite your best efforts to ensure a 100% transfer.
Good luck!
