Flv file not streaming on my website

Here is my question:
I have design my flash website (www.indypendencyfilms.com)
with Flash and I want to add some videos to my portfolio section. I
thought it would be pretty straight forward, but it isn't. That's
what I've done so far (and it isn't working):
1. Obviously encoded the video as a flv file (called
Demo.flv).
2. Uploaded it to my server (Hostmonster). It is in my
public_html folder.
3. Added to my flash file a FLVPlayback component (instance
name: videoPlayer)
4. Added the following actionscript:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("
http://www.indypendencyfilms.com/Demo.flv");
5. After trying to stream it and not get it to work, I added
in the MIME settings of my CPanel the video/x-generic for the flv
files.
At this point I have no idea why it doesn't work and I'm
conviced it's something really stupid that I'm overseeing. I would
appreciate any input.
Thanks

Hi,
In your code you have
ns.play("
http://www.indypendencyfilms.com/Demo.flv");
should this not be....
ns.play("http://www.indypendencyfilms.com/public_html/Demo.flv");
As you said your video was held in the public_html folder.
Thanks
Alan

FLV file not opening up in media encoder

I am on a unique job where we are trying to figure out our workflow for video live and on-demand production. Basically, we will be streaming live video during the day and then we would then like to post the video that just went live and have it available in our on-demand archives. For our on-demand, we have to have 3 different flv files at 3 different bitrates since we have no idea what our audience's individual computer/internet can handle.
Because we are doing a high volume of video for this job over the course of two weeks, I am trying to streamline our workflow so that my editors don't have to deal with long hours of babysitting a computer while it is encoding. Because we have to go from injesting DV footage, then exporting QT, and compressor to make it a H.264 file since Media Encoder cannot read FCP QT files, and then into media encoder to make it to flv. That is a lot of steps to be taking. We also have lots of other things to edit aside from the live material.
We ourselves are sending out the video live on line, so permission is not an issue and we are not ripping off things off of big network websites at all. You see, the video is encoding as it is going out and I found a way to record the flv video and maintain it in flv format. However, we would just like to trim the heads and tails for the on-demand version as well create two other flv versions with a different bit rate.
For some reason, when I open the flv file that we recorded, media encoder does not see anything. I took that same test flv file and put it in three different media players/compression software. The flv opens in media streamclip, Adobe Media Player, and Sorensen Squeeze, so I don't understand why you don't see anything when it is in Media Encoder.
I was even able to trim and re-compress the recorded flv to a lower bitrate flv file. I don't really want to use Sorensen because I tested versus Media Encoder and it is really slow compared to Media Encoder. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advanced.
Michelle

I don't think that Adobe's Media Encoder can open FLV files at all, it only creates them.
Alternatively you can use some of the tools below to top & tail your videofiles:
- After Effects CS4
- Premiere CS4
- RichFLV (www.richapps.de)
Regarding workflow, have you looked into Adobe's Flash Media Encoding Server?

FLV file not showing up on page

I am a novice with Dreamweaver. I created a site several
years ago using just Contribute 2. Yesterday I used Adobe Media
Encoder to encode some QTs to FLV (.f4v) files using a preset for
Flash 8 compatible FLV files. I created a completely new html page
in Dreamweaver and inserted the FLV file onto the page. When I use
"live view" the page works and plays the FLV file perfectly. Then I
save the file and save to the server. The page updates perfectly
EXCEPT for the flv file. In Firefox it says I need the latest Flash
version, (which I don't) in Safari, it just shows up as a blank
spot on the page, but there is a warning at the bottom of the page
and it allows you to see what the error is.
The browsers "activity" window says:
http://www.veralith.com/FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
not found
Did part of the code - the FLVplayer - not get uploaded to
the server maybe? What could have gone wrong and how do I fix it. I
did not write special code to get the FLV file to play on the web,
I just used the insert function and thought that Dreamweaver was
going to do the rest for me "behind the scenes."
Any help would be much appreciated. I read as many "help"
files as I could, but I just don't know what I'm searching for. The
website is www.veralith.com. I'm trying to update the "demo" page
by adding about two dozen FLV files, eventually. Right now, there's
only supposed to be one on that page, but it's not showing
up.

Hmm. I just did a test with CS3 and it did exactly that.
1. Created a new HTML page and saved it in the defined site
folder
2. Insert->Media->Flash Video
3. Browse to the .flv file (also in the local site)
4. Chose a skin
5. [OK]
6. Save
A dialog box appeared informing me that it created a Scripts
folder and
that I should upload that folder to my server.
There are now two .swf files in the same folder as the new
.html file.
They were not there before.
1. FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf
2. Clear_Skin_1.swf

FLV Files Not Playing

On our website, championbaptist.com, we want to use FLV
files. They work great locally, but do not play when uploaded to
our web host. The actual page that has the video inserted is
www.championbaptist.com/multimedia_Dec06.htm. I have been told by
our web host that they support flv files (I created an .htaccess
file as well). Here is the code that is generated by Dreamweaver

Most likely you need to set up MIME type for the FLV file.

"Put" files not showing up on website

I am hoping this is a relatively simple problem I am encountering. I have been given a site (http://urpl.wisc.edu/people/marcouiller/projects/clearinghouse/Tourism%20Resources.htm) to edit using Dreamweaver and many of the links that are listed are linked to nonexistent pages. I am trying to hyperlink these broken links to actual webpages and it was working fine for awhile. During the past couple of days however, after I "put" the changes to the server, the changes are not showing up on the website. The server displays that it was updated at that specific time and date and the preview page shows the correct links when I open it, but nothing changes on my actual site. I have tried clearing my cache and opening the page in different browsers, but still no luck. I have also tried disconnecting and then reconnecting to the host server and simply restarting Dreamweaver, but all to no avail. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem of changes not displaying on my website?
Much thanks!
-Ben

Are you using a Defined Site in DW or just editing individual pages and uploading?
Could you accidentally be loading the files to the wrong folder on the server?
Your site does have quite a few coding errors (64+ on the first page). You should go through the validator to clean those error up, though they likely don't have much to do with the problem at hand, it's still best for cross-browser performance and display to use correct html mark-up.

Inserted FLV files not playing in a published project.

The issue: Inserted FLV files display (play) when previewing a project but not in a published project.
My setup: Windows XP and Captivate 5
Questions:
   1) When in Filmstrip view only the movie playback bars show, not an image of the actual movie, is this correct?
   2) When I preview a project for the first time, the FLV files display (play) in Preview mode, HOWEVER, any time I preview the project after that, the movies do not play.
   3) When I publish a project, the inserted FLV files do not display (play), they only show the movie playback bars.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Oh yeah, all the files are in the same directory.

Flv files not showing in LMS

Hi
I have imported a .flv file into Captivate 4 but when I view it my LMS it does not show.
I have read a lot of threads but I can't seem to get it to work.
One of the wierdest things is that it was working perfectly.
Whilst trying to get it to work I noticed that when I publish it to a folder (non zip) and play the .swf file, it works. As soon, as I zip it via Captivate or winzip, and play the .swf file, it appears to lose the link and therefore doesnt show.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Please help me.
Thanks

Jp,
Thanks for the info. I did check with Tech Support from the LMS, and they assured me that the LMS does support .flv files. However, our online modules are launched from a webserver separate from the LMS, and that server needed to have the proper MIME type configured. By default, Windows 2003 Server does not have an associated MIME type to support deploying FLVs.
Specifically, it needed to be set up to recognize .flv files with the correct file association and content type specified. That took care of it.

FLV file not showing in projector works as swf

Hi I am nearly complete with my projector file, however the
.flv I have playing on entering frame 2 just has a blank screen no
skin etc.
1st frame
[as]
stop();
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
// CLICK to play flick
flick_Btn.addEventListener("mouseUp", goIn);
function goIn(evt:MouseEvent) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
// CLICK to Exit
exit_Btn.addEventListener("mouseUp", goDie);
function goDie(evt:MouseEvent) {
fscommand("quit");
[/as]
2nd Frame
[as]
stop();
import flash.system.fscommand;
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
function flvListener(eventObject:Object):void {
if (eventObject.info.name == "End") {
gotoAndPlay(3);
myFLV.addEventListener("cuePoint", flvListener);
[/as]
any tips??

Hi,
Make sure you added the FLV file on the same path you
targeted from inside Flash or the FLV file is not missing

MOV files not streaming to ATV

I copied a few videos that we took on our itouch to my PC and they come across as MOV files. I then added these to my itunes library. They appear in the library; however, they are not streaming to the ATV. I started testing a few things and noticed that other formats such at MPEG-4 works fine. I took a few of the MOV files that I imported from the itouch - converted to MPEG-4 and now it works fine streaming to the ATV.
I would think that if videos are recorded as MOV files on the itouch that this would easily synch with the ATV. Is this not the case? Am I going to have to convert MOV files to MPEG-4 in order to stream to the ATV?

They would work on the newer model as well as having the ability to airplay directly from the iPod. I have posted the compatibility for the 1st ATV
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p
MPEG-4: Up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

FLV file not loading

Hi!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

When I push the play button I get this message: Error: 1000: Unable to make connection to server or to find FLV on server.
The FLV path is right:

./assets/walking.flv

./src/main-app.xml
./bin-debug
./bin-debug/main-app.xml

./.project
I am running this as an AIR app in a linux box.
I have tried with two videos:
ES_morcuera.flv: [ffflv] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg Flash video)
wlaking.flv: [VP6A]

Hi!
I have found the solution.
AIR expects a protocol, which in this case is “file:///” (not the file's NativePath).
So
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid"
            source="../assets/ES_morcuera.flv"
            height="250"
            width="250"
/>
must be:
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid"
             source="file:///home/user/myProject/assets/ES_morcuera.flv"
             height="250"
             width="250"
/>
Bye.

Why are my mjpg files not streaming anymore going from version 36 to 37?

The video streams from my axis cameras on version 36 but on version 37 it gives a still image. When i refresh the page it returns the image as it was when i refreshed it but it does not stream anymore. I have updated all the plugins and if i downgrade to version 36 it works again.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox.
Try '''Safe''' web sites. Is the problem still there?

Hi Rodney,
1. swf:
Does your swf file "SkinUnderPlaySeekStop.swf" work in DW's play-mode?
2. flv:
Did you do really all the required DW-steps? In order you could control this I'll try to describe in detail from the beginning (translated from my German DW):
Create a really new subdirectory (only for this trial).
Create a new html/php-file(only for this trial).
Work in designMode --> Insert Flash-Video.
Search/browse ---> yourFLV.flv
Skin: Halo Skin 3 (min. width 280) ( it was my choice)
width 640 ( it's my choice)
height 480 ( it's my choice)
I clicked all the boxes
---> And now away with all these files below (produced from DW) to your server.
Best you have a look with WIN-Explorer into your directory, to see all the files DW has created in your subdirectory and don't forget one):
YourFlv.flv
YourFlv.htm (or YourFlv.php)
Clear_Skin_1.swf (my choice)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf

MOV files not streaming

I have a few MOV files in my iTunes library. Along with these MOV files are several movies purchased from iTunes. I stream my movies and music to my ATV (photos are synched so I can view thumbnails etc..)
From my ATV, I am able to access all of the purchased movies but I can't access the MOV files - again, the MOV files are appearing under 'Movies' in iTunes and I'm able to play them from iTunes without a problem --- just not visable on my ATV 'My Movies' menu.

do the files fall within the limits of video (below).. play in iTunes and Quicktime do not guarantee the file will play on appleTV.. appleTV has limits on files since they need to be access via streaming over wireless in many cases, so it makes sense to set some limits on files size, data rate etc..
*Video formats supported*
*H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store):* Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

FLV files not playing once AIR is published

Hi,
I'm devloping an AIR application in Flash CS5 and man I'm having fun!
My current problem has to do with Flash videos that aren't playing once the Air file is published. In the development environment they play fine but all f my rpoblems with Air seem to occur after publishing, I did code the playing a bit differently than usual in that I passed the relative path to the video file once it was playing. Are relative paths ok in Air?
I'd appeciate any advice.
Best regards,
Chris McLaughlin

The solution lied in using an absolute path to the video files using: appPathStr
videoURL = appPathStr + "/SubdirectoryName/videoName.flv"

Audio files not playing correctly on website.

My husband's website just was rebuilt and we are both having trouble with his recording samples page. The Webdesigner says that it is working fine. When we go to play an audio track, then we click on another audio track the 1st audio track is supposed to stop so the next one will play. However, this is not happening. The second one starts playing over the 1st. I have updated Firefox and am using 26.0. The webdesigner states that it works fine when they test the browser at their office. Can someone please let me know if there is something like a plug-in I am missing. His website is www.peteroprisko.com and the link to the recordings page is here http://www.peteroprisko.com/index.php/recordings-samples. You need to click on product details to pull up the recordings for each album.
In addition, I am unable to add the product to my shopping cart. Again we were told by the webdesigner that this works fine.
I tested both of these issues in Internet Explorer and they both work as they are supposed to, just not in Firefox. So I am convinced it is the browser.
Thanks for your help!

I see the same happening in Firefox and in Google Chrome.<br />
Clicking the play button of another song doesn't pause the song that is playing, so I hear multiple songs playing simultaneously.<br />
I am on Linux, so can't test if it works in IE, but it sounds that the code is only compatible with IE.
Clicking Add to chart makes Firefox send this request:
*http://peteroprisko.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&nosef=1&view=cart&task=addJS&format=json&quantity%255B%255D%3D1%26option%3Dcom_virtuemart%26view%3Dcart%26virtuemart_product_id%255B%255D%3D4&_=1390935644403
