FLV not playing

I have downloaded/purchased an Flv player to drop into my website, which is also a ready made template purchase.
Having found the area/movie clip where the text and images are located that I would like to replace with my flv - which I have done.
I have resized the flv to fit the area, but when I test the movie or publish it, I get error messages in the output window all relating to elements/components within the flv movie clip, and the flv clip itself seems to be stuck on it's 1st frame.
The movie clip this is held within is quite a complicated one, with lots of layers, and each keyframe representing a new page - if that makes sense?
The top layer just has a blank keyframe with a 'stop' action - is this the problem?
Thanks in advance

In Captivate 3 - I have imported an flv of an avatar - the avatar motions and lips are moving yet the associated audio is not playing. When I play the flv out of captivate it works fine. Anyone experience this before, or something similar? Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions. Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Inserted FLV not playing in published files

I am trying to insert an FLV file but keep getting the following error when trying to publish:
"The Flash video can not be loaded. The output may not be proper." When I try to run the output files the video player is blank.
I am using Captivate 5.5.
The FLV file plays correctly in preview mode and also plays correctly when I play it independantly using a media player.
The file is located in the same folder as the CPTX file and the output SWF and HTM outputs.
I prefer to use the insert FLV option as it provides the playback controls which aren't available from the Insert Video option. It does play correctly using the Insert Video option.
Please help!
Alex

I have discovered something really unexpected. I tried publishing to the EXE format which worked. If I then published in the Flash format it works! If I try to publish again it reverts to the old problem.
Is this a bug?

Maybe you can help me. Here is my code:
wlecome.swf is set to load FLV file called welcome.flv
Everything plays locally, but when I upload to website, the
wlecome.flv file does not play. I'm not even certain it is loading.
In the contentPath I only have welcome.flv Even when I typed in the
whole location as it resides on the server it still doesn't load.
It used to when welcome.swf only contained text.

.flv not playing in browser

Hi Everyone-
I'm facing an enormous conundrum and I was hoping somebody here may be able to shed some light on it.
I have a flash presentation that presents .flv files to the user. I have the main menu in a .swf file, and when the user selects one of the segments to watch, it calls up another .swf to display inside with an .flv embedded in it. This is so we only have to program one little popup menu and it frames all the videos. The presentation is going to be burned to a disc so a user will be able to watch it locally without having to be connected to the internet. Initially, I would just publish a Flash projector file and be done with it, but the disc kicks up the AutoPlay program on a PC, and the client has indicated that this simply will not do; it has to run right out of the box without the user doing anything. I offered what I figured would be a benign solution; embed the .swf into an html file and have it launch in the browser upon insertion.
Here is where it gets sticky: The whole presentation works just fine ... until I try watching it in a browser on a PC. The .flv file simply will not play. At all. The file works fine if I open the containing .swf, and the menu .swf, locally or deployed to a server. I've tried re-embedding and re-publishing on a Mac and a PC, I've tried fixing the Javascript call in the HTML file, I've checked my video codecs (on2 VP6) I've put all the files on the root of the disc, I've put all the files in a sub-folder of the disc, I've checked, double-checked and double-dog-checked all of my pathnames, tested it in every browser on every computer I can get my hands on... but still no dice.
The bizarre part is that all of the similar projects we've done are not working as well, so I can't check how the previous ones were set up for any kind of comparison. I'm sorry if this a long-winded post, but after hours of research and publishing and moving, I'm not any closer to a solution. I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.
Thanks in advance!

The video does not have a skin on it. It just loads, plays and ends. I have an ActionScript listener attached so that when the video ends, it goes back to the main menu.
I hope it will be helpful to add in some info that I left out of the first post. I don't know how handy it will be, but here we go:
The presentation is coded in AS2. It was built before AS3 came out, and since all the projects we've done have been very similar, it's easier (and cheaper) to just swap out some files and graphics than fixing what ain't broken.
I'm using Flash CS3 on a Mac running 10.6.6, but I've also tried publishing it on a PC with Windows XP in CS3 as well.
The only place the .flv files don't work is in a web browser on a PC, regardless of whether it's embedded in an .html file or if opened by the browser. If I view the .swf files in Flash Viewer, the .flvs load right up, and they work when I view them directly in an .flv player as well.

FLV not playing in HTML on internet

I have many FLV that play fine on my website so this is not a
Server MIME issue. The SWF file plays FLV fine with called for
directly but when the HTML calls the exact same SWF it does not
call the FLV Player (swf) or FLV or FLV skin.
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/index_master.html
See any of the "videography" links under "wedding/event
packages" - click on Diamond, Sapphire, Onyx, or Crystal. A sample
FLV should play.
Now try the exact same file but call the direct SWF (pulled
into a holder on the above HTML)
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/flash_links/videography.swf
Click any of the Diamond, etc links and the SWF that pulls
the FLV comes up.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?

I have a suggestion...
Your skin path may be the issue. In your fla file you only
specify the name of the skin for the path:
ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
So the location of the skin is based on the html calling it,
not the swf. This is why the swf works when you put in the direct
to swf url, but not the html url.
Try putting the skin here:
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
instead of here:
http://www.frazierphotovideo.com/flash/flash_links/ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf
and see if that makes the video work.

FLV not playing in Moodle

Guys, Hope you can help me with this.
I have scorm package module in Moodle, Everything works except the videos in it.
here is the behaviour I'm having:
no error display but that screen only, looks like its loading but it isnt at all.
any solution on this?
I'm using CP 6 on Windows 7. I tried publishing the module using scorm 2004 and 1.2 but still the same result.
Thanks

Hi Rodward, Thanks for th reply.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that this problem is not consistent with the video problem.
below is the same video shown above (not playing). This time it is playing.
It doesnt play (often) sometimes it does.
for example:
after watching this video, i go to the next page then go back to the page video.. It wont play again.

FLV not playing from in directory

We placed all our FLVs in a "video" directory so users can find them on CD/DVD if needed. (Our immediate goal is a CD, will be online later this year.)
When publishing a SWF/htm, Captivate makes copies of all the FLVs and places them at the root.
Just for fun I deleted all those copies, published as an EXE, burned to CD. No video play.
How can videos be linked from directories?
thanks! on a deadline early tomorrow so appreciate your assistance.
christine

Thnak you so much Hari.
Unfortunately Video Management only works with Slide video. Specifications request FLV so the user can inititiate play controls instead of auto-playing the video.
I'll offer it as a trade-off.
Thanks,
Christine

FLV File does not play when published to my web server

Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
G-II

Hi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Adobe Flash Player will not play my .flv video

I redered a 5 min editing from Premier CS4 as steaming FLV, but if I try to play it in Adobe Flash Player, the player will open with white background and not play the movie. The file is playing though in other players like Adobe Media Player. Is there something special about a movie flv to play in AFP?
Thank you,

FLV needs to be inside of a SWF container that manages it's playback. The Media Player provides that for you, but the standalone Flash Player doesn't. So you can make one in Flash easily with components, or you can just download any one of the many free ones (for example, I've personally used Jeroen Wing's "JV Player" from longtail)

Creating H.264 FLV file as per Spec, does not play with Adobe Flash Player 10

1] We have developed an application to encapsulate H.264 video inside FLV container, following the "Adobe Video File Format Specifications 9". According to the specification the H.264 video data is embedded in FLV tags, as follows
FLV Headers: Meta Tag: Sequence of Video Tag.
But in spite of following the specifications, Adobe Flash Player (version 10) could not play this FLV file. However, some players were able to play this FLV file. The fact that Adobe did not play it was very surprising.
2] We searched and finally found one FLV file, which contained H.264 video (unlike others which usually contained Sorenson's H.263). This file was played fine by Adobe Flash Player. So it led us to investigate further and we found that
[A] the video tag was preceded with 2 byte length of the every "contained" H.264 NALU. This applied to all the NALUs / I-slices/P-slices and so on. This is not documented.
[B] Only the first video tag (containing video sequence params), is preceded by the sequence "01 4D 00 15 FD E1" followed by 2 byte length and then the video data (sequence parameters in this case). What are these additional bytes ? where are they documented ?
Could you pls share your views about the above and point us to the documents, if any, which are in agreement with the above observations.We think there is a discrepency in the document related with authoring FLV file with H.264 content.
Thanks,

You could push it out to one or two users and test. Moving up to the latest version of Flash Player is USUALLY a good idea, however, if you happen to be on Captivate 4, be aware that there was an issue reported some time ago that once you upgraded your development machine to Flash Player 11 it interfered with publishing out courses. I cannot remember seeing a bugfix issued to Cp4 users for this (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If you're on Cp5 or 5.5 this shouldn't be an issue.

FLV embedded in a SWF file, does not play in HTML file.

Hi,
I embedded a FLV file into flash movie clip, which on publish plays well on SWF file, but when the same is embedded in HTML, it does not play.
What is it i'm missing ..
Kindly help.
Regards
Shashi

First, clarify this... are you embedding the .flv into the time line, as in:
The .FLV file is imported on the timeline of a movie clip.
I embedded the .flv file,
If you are in fact embedding the video, then there is no external video file... it's embedded into the timeline.
If you are using the FLVPlayback component and an external vid file to display the video and the .swf when testing plays the video just fine but not on the HTML Web page:
SWF plays external video file, as soon as I embed SWF in HTML, it no longer playes the external video file.
then it's most likely a pathing problem.
If you are placing the .swf on a Web page and the .swf and/or the .flv file are not both in the same folder as the Web page.... then the .swf should NOT work when you test it directly! That's because it should be pathed to play from the Web page and not the location of the .swf.
For your review:
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
