FLV player component. Open Source/commercial options?

I'm returning to a project I've had on hold for a bit. We're
now receiving
.flv files from our video team and we need to displaying them
on our site.
Can anyone recommend some Flash FLV player components? Open
source
preferred, but commercial or freeware would be OK too if
highly recommended.
I've looked at OSFLV but that appears to require PHP back end
scripts. Our
site is ASP.net so likely wouldn't work.
Ideally, it'd be a player that we could passe the FLV info to
via the HTML
(so that we could incorporate the embed markup automatically
via our CMS
back end).

I beleave first of all you must decide how will you show your
videos.
Do you have FMS? Or is webserver the only you have for your
site? If
you don't have FMS and don't like to buy its license, then
the only
possible way is to use HTTP Streaming or simple progressive
download.
And you must seek for a player depending on your choice of
the video
delivery method. HTTP Streaming is a great choice if you
haven't FMS.
Though you need some scripting language/database engine at
your web
server and some custom SWF (Flash FLV Player). Standard UI
components
like FLVPlayback will not work with HTTP Streaming. Though it
is not
so dificult to create such player using any Flash MX version
>= 7.
You can find some brief description of HTTP Streaming if
you'll try to
search in Google:

  • FLV Player Component seemingly not working in Firefox

    I've set up an swf where I have an FLV Player component on stage, pointing to an external flv.
    Offline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing).  Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to?
    I don't get it... I can't seem to get progressive downloading working in ANY format.  I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try.  I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
    I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.
    Any solutions that work would be hugely appreciated.  I've been at this for over a week, and found no answers online so far.
    All I want:
    Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.
    I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside.... and neither are working for me for some reason.

    [UPDATE]  Okay, now I got it working for now (...no idea what changed, or if it will continue to work).  Only issue currently is that it's loading the clip right away (on entry of the HTML page),as opposed to when I click Play... so I'll still have the bottlenecking of all the clips loading at once.  Is there some setting in the FLV Player component (or HTML) where I can have them only start downloading the clips when I click play?
    I only want the clips downloaded if the visitor chooses to view the clips.
    Would setting a preview in the FLV Player component do that (...load only the preview frame, and hold off until play is hit)?

  • Open Source - Commercial Software?

    There's a lot of great open source code out there that comes in really handy for all sorts of common programming tasks. But upon reading carefully the licensing agreements, it seems to me that it's generally illegal to include such code in any standard commercial application.
    Example:
    A young programmer gets hired by a small software development company. The company gets a contract with a local business to write some custom applications for in-house use, and our programmer friend gets handed the specs. Several components of the software he is asked to write are already available as open source, and certainly more robust than anything he could write on his own.
    Legally, he only has two options:
    Convince his company and their client to release the final program as open source - even though it may have no use outside of their business and was never intended for public sale.
    Write all the code himself, ignoring the open source resources, taking much longer to create an inferior product.
    Does this make sense? Am I misunderstanding these license agreements? It would seem to me that, for instance, all those great and useful Apache products are perfect for commercial applications and indeed seem to be developed with that in mind. (I can't imagine using Log4J in a tiny program I hack out at home to organize my hard drive etc)
    Note that there is a difference between open source software (MySQL, Apache web server, other such apps), and open source tools (Log4J, Apache commons, many more) in that the tools are not really useful on their own but instead are used as part of other programs. The licenses seem to allow free use of the software, but require open-sourcing of any derivative software - meaning that a company can use MySQL as a database for anything they wish, but a developer working for that company can't use Log4J to write a frontend for that database without releasing the frontend as open source???

    But upon reading carefully the
    licensing agreements, it seems to me that it's
    generally illegal to include such code in anystandard
    commercial application.I don't think so, although I'm no more a lawyer than
    you are. The licence agreements vary widely. When I
    look at the agreement for log4j, for example, I only
    see the requirement that I have to put a copyright
    notice and an acknowledgement in my software. No
    prohibitions at all. That one's pretty
    straightforward. But I'm still trying to make sense of
    the LGPL.It all depends on the license.
    Apache license allows ANY use and license for software using it as long as the Apache license is made available with a mention that components under that license have been used.
    GPL on the other hand indeed requires that everything using any code released under GPL be released under GPL as well.
    So if you were to write a 10MB application using a single 1KB GPLd module you have no choice but to release all your code under the GPL as well. This makes code under GPL impossible to use in commercial products or anything for which code needs to remain in-house for any reason.
    Most other licenses fall somewhere in between. mySQL for example allows non-commercial use under any license but commercial use is barred unless you pay a license fee (in which case you get a different license).

  • Open source /  Commercial version, it's up to you! Why not for ESB products

    Please comment this forum and help us to get Sun's support for Open ESB as we can get it for open-Solaris or Glassfish.
    Thanks
    Paul
    Extract from
    http://www.pymma.com/eng/People/Blog-Paul-Perez-Chief-Architect
    Jonathan Schwartz new policy
    Few years ago, Jonathan Schwartz replaced Scott McNealy as SUN Microsystems CEO. Swartz's first decision was to convert Sun into an Open-Source company. Consequently, Solaris OS, Application Servers and even the Java language were opened and their sources published. At present, Sun is viewed as a major Open Source actor.
    Sun�s new sales philosophy proposes, on one hand, its best products in an open-source format and on the other hand, commercial support and hardware. The best examples of this new philosophy are Open-Solaris and Glassfish. You can download these products, use them and test them. After you have built applications with these tools and wish to move into a production environment, you can buy support from Sun.
    Open source or Commercial version, it's up to you!
    Alternatively, you can as well buy commercial versions at the first place. Even if open sources and commercial versions are slightly different than the open-source ones, more than 95% of their code is originated from the same development branch. Example : SUN proposes its queue messaging system with two similar versions, respectively named �SUN QM� and "Open-MQ". The only difference is the amount you pay for the technical support.
    Everyone can find advantages in this sales policy on Sun products: companies and developers try and develop for free and can rely on Sun support in production. As a matter of fact, Sun uses these �free� products as Trojan horses to conquer new market shares, penetrate new companies and sell Sun hardware.
    Why not for ESB Products ?
    Unfortunately, there is a small issue in this picture: Sun's ESB platform is the exception in this sales policy. In Fact, Sun proposes two different tools for ESB developments. The first product. "JCAPS", is a commercial product inherited from Seebeyond. The second product, "Open-ESB" is based on JBI specifications (JSR 208) and was developed from scratch about 2 years ago.
    Alas, JCAPs and Open-ESB are definitely two different products.
    JCAPS ignores JBI specifications
    JCAPS connectors are based on JCA specifications and not on JBI.
    Open-ESB development process is based on Web services specifications, JCAPS not.
    JCAPS and Open-ESB developments are not compatible.
    Hundreds other differences can be found between the two products.
    We can understand that for a while, for technical, marketing or business reasons, a company supports more than one product lines with the same functionalities. IBM does it and Oracle buying BEA will do it also.
    However, there are several things that Pymma would like to understand:
    Why the download of JCAPS is only available for authorized JCAPS Partner ?
    Why SUN does not provide support for open-ESB as it does for Glassfish, Open Solaris or Open MQ ?
    Why JBI or Open-ESB are never mentioned at most ESB seminars organized by Sun Centres in the UK ?
    Why Sun marketing, Gurus or consultants are prolix about JBI in the public lectures and technical forums, and at the same ignore Open-ESB when they advice companies ?
    Is the policy of Jonathan Swartz policy only applicable for Java Legacy applications (Application Server, Message queuing�)? not for ESB tools ?
    Of course, we already asked these questions to SUN but we never got clear answers.
    Thanks for clarifying Sun's position
    Many companies believe in JBI and their developers spend time and energy working on Open-ESB . These companies would certainly be interested to hear Sun's explanations on the above questions. They probably want to be sure that Open-ESB will not be just a prototype for the new JCAP version (only reserved for SUN JCAPS Partners). They certainly want to be credible by proposing SUN's professional support on Open-ESB as they do for Glassfish and Open-Solaris. After, they only need from SUN to clarify its position and give a clear prospective for the future of JBI and Open-ESB. We hope that through this blog Sun will hear us and we will give us clear answers.

    Hi Leonie,
    My iPhoto is iPhoto 11, version 9.4.2.  I believe my Aperture is the latest version but I don't know how to verify that when I can't open it.  I regularly accept any updates.
    How I restored my Aperture Library: I opened Aperture, clicked on Time Machine, and navigated to the Aperture Library that had been backed-up earlier in the day.  It took a while to restore. 
    When done, I opened Aperture (yes, at that point I could still open it).  It opened up on the still-empty Library, and I had to manually change it to the restored library, every time I opened aperture after that.  This was annoying, so, I then went to FINDER and deleted the empty Library.  I probably shouldn't have done this; I noticed it had the words "current default" in its filename. 
    From that point on, FINDER shows the restored aperture library (actually two restored aperture libraries, since I accessed Time Machine a second time to restore an even older backed-up version) but of course, not the empty Library that had had "default" in its filename.  And... I can no longer open Aperture.
    Hope you can help me, thanks so much,
    Glensdaughter

  • Do you have plan to make flash player to open source?

    Adobe abandons flash player for mobile web browser.
    We, many flash developers, can make great flash applications for mobile.
    We do not satisfy AIR.
    If adobe make flash player to open souce, we can use it in our mobile applications.
    Open flash player source code!
    Flash is best cross platform application environment.
    Adobe can't? We can!

    Hi daslicht,
    im also very interrested to know the answer.
    But im afraid they wont because it uses code from other proprietary tools.
    And even if the community get flash catalyst source code, it will be useless (in a sens) mainly because the synergy with other Adobe Tools will not be maintained. And for me it was the main power of Flash Catalyst.
    And knowing that, i think it is more easy for Apache community to create a new tool from scratch not linked to Adobe's tooling chain.
    It could be a Flex app!!
    For you information, the design view from Flash Builder has also been discontinued by Adobe. But in that case its a flex app incorporated in Flash Builder so theres good chances that Adobe will donate it to Apache community.
    So why not use the design view as a base for a Flash Catalyst like tool? by making it a standalone tool or designers.

    I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
    You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
    Quote from the linked article
    But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
    first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
    aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
    might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
    outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
    query plans from consideration.
    Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
    a performant fashion.

    I could very well be getting ahead of myself but I�ve been curious as of late. Are there any Open Source groups out there (that browse these forums) planning on developing some component libraries for JSF? I definitely see the need for some extended functionality in the area of data access.

    Yes.... I've been working on one, but unfortunately, I can only do this in my spare time, which has been quite limited lately due to other projects. We'll announce something in this group when there's something worth taking a look at. Right now, there are only about 5 components, and two of these are layouts, containers, rather than widgets.

  • Bomber question - a commercial game open source

    I came across commerical J2ME game - Bomber at
    http://j2mebomber.sourceforge.net/
    But it is different from other open source J2me game in ways :
    1) Bomber project convert all images to a signle binary file

    http://chiu424.hypermart.net/sound.txt

    2) there is a utility called tobin.exe that takes a text file and output a binary file that includes all images / sounds
    3) here is a list of binary files for bomber ( sound + image )
    http://chiu424.hypermart.net/game.JPG
    ===============
    - Is there any tutorial on how to use ToBin.exe or other untility that covert images files to a single game data file that reads by J2ME game using InputStream and read byte by byte? it's somewhat confusing.
    - I had google more than 8 hours on info in using ToBin.exe with no luck, how it maps image to a single binary file, any tutorial on this?
    - it seems all commerical J2ME games read binary data file, instead of open PNG files one by one used by open source non - commerical games.

    i found this...
    1. Copy the Tobin.exe file from the floppy disk to the new directory.
    2. Because Tobin.exe is a self-extracting file, double-clicking the Tobin.exe file extracts the following four files:
    o Tobin16.exe (the utility)
    o Tobin16.hlp (the online Help file)
    o County.cde (a file containing the API county codes)

    Hi LittleMuscle,
    Can you provide more details on what encoding, server types,

    When you write that "FXVideo takes too long to load vids", am
    I correct that you are referring to Emanuil Rusev's open source
    Flex video player at:
    http://www.fxcomponents.com/?p=29
    Why, specifically, do you think that it is the client video
    player that "takes too long to load"?
    Do you (or a member of your team), have extensive experience
    with publishing video on the web?
    Have you optimized the encoding? If so, what have you
    optimized it for? Robert Reinhardt's FLV Bitrate Calculator here
    highlights the interplay of the variables to be taken into account:

    Again, if you can provide more details we may be better able
    to assist you.
    btw, If you have Flash CS3, it is possible (using the Flex

  • Best approach to dynamic custom flv player

    I am currently working on a custom flash player. After
    working on several working versions where I simply used
    actionscript to delegate the actions of my custom player.
    I am now working on a more dynamic ready flashplayer that
    will need to be embeddable. Should I make a .swf specificaly for
    the player using the flash player SkinFLA examples as an outline?
    The idea is to have a player that embeds like youtube, any
    suggestions or tutorials to look over? Also, this player needs to
    have playlist functionality, but it needs to be able to scope to
    anyone. I could have users register and then create an XML that
    references their playlist, but it seems like there may be better
    options. Just looking for some discussion and debate over player
    best-practices....

    Well the problem is that I can't find any tutorials or help about getting a subtitle toggle button into my custom flv player, an example of which can be found here: http://idl.newport.ac.uk/dev/customplayer.html

    Ideally I would like to use an XML file to do the subtitles. Any ideas?

  • Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?

    What is the best Open Source equivalent to Adobe Illustrator?
    (or closest equivalent)
    This may be a matter of personal preference but could anyone share their thoughts or opinions?
    Thank you,

    I took Inkscape for a test drive in order to compare it to Adobe Illustrator. Here are my comments I would like to share with this newsgroup. Generally and professionally, I prefer Adobe Illustrator over Inkscape because Illustrator is a more responsive program - faster during some key drawing procedures, however Inkscape should not be ignored as it is available for no cost and is very capable and sufficient as a drawing tool. I was impressed with Inkscape - except for its typesetting features, its lack of being able to use spot colours and its limited PDF export options.
    I hardly touched all the Inkscape features in this review - only a few main features which seemed to work sufficiently.
    This review is written for someone looking for a vector drawing program to learn and use who may not have a lot of experience with a professional drawings programs such as Adobe Illustrator and who may be looking for a no-cost alternative that is sufficiently acceptable.
    Inkscape 0.46
    www.inkscape.org
    Review by Mike
    platform: mac computer on OS 10.4
    March 2009
    Generally, a very capable and extremely useful program - especially considering there is no cost. Under the "Help" menu, is a link to the online manual which you can download too - but I just read that parts I needed online.
    I found the info I was looking for a few days ago when I first tried the program. Initially, I couldn't find a way to convert a point from a smooth point to a corner point. I found this feature in the menu bar. When you use the "edit path my node" tool (second tool in the tool box) you can make this choice (corner or smooth point) from a row of icons along the top of the document window - very obvious but I didn't see that at first. Its a good feature to know to manipulate your shapes to exactly as you would like. With this ability, you can choose to convert your point to a corner point or a smooth point - important to being able to draw any shape you like.
    You can also adjust the bezier curve angle on the fly (while you draw) (see last point [1] at the end of this review) by holding down the shift key or the control key but that would depend on how much users would want to practice this program. The main thing is, that it can be done - just like in Illustrator. Illustrator users would just have to remember a few different key stroke patterns while drawing.
    Doesn't seem to be much this program can't do, except for spot colour capability. Compared to Illustrator, I would be curious to know if there was anything critical you can do in Illustrator that you cannot do in Inkscape. Typesetting in Inkscape isn't so great but generally the program is sufficient.
    Here are four main points:
    1. Inkscape doesn't have spot colour capability
    This is probably the biggest disadvantage of Inkscape for professionals. For commercial artists, printing spot colour is a critical capability which enables such things as specifying a pantone colour to a printer. However, for web pages and CMYK artwork, Inkscape is sufficient because web page art is all RGB in colour (no spot colours are used in web page art).
    2. No PDF export options.
    Inkscape's PDF export features seem to be limited and do not give you many options such as compression options. That is probably the second most noted limitation of Inkscape for professional artists. There may be a work around however. If you export the drawing as postscript and open it in Adobe Acrobat Professional you could set these options here instead. But then you would need to buy Adobe Acrobat Professional - but which is a very useful program - one that is indispensable for managing pdf files quickly. "Web Capture" is one of my favourite features of Adobe Acrobat Professional - can save a website or a web page to pdf for archival purposes. Merging several PDF's into a single document is also a good feature of Adobe Acrobat Professional for general purpose file management.
    3. Inkscape is slower than Illustrator. Some Inkscape features are OK but others are slower.
    But that might not be a fair comparison because I am testing Inkscape on my ten-year-old 350 MHz Mac G3. But then again, I am also using Illustrator on this same G3 and Illustrator is very fast. I wonder how fast Inkscape would feel on a newer mac?
    Overall, these speed issues may not be relevant because for most projects and drawing tasks Inkscape is fast enough.
    The slowest feature of Inkscape I find is selecting a typeface if you are setting any type in your document. It takes too long to scroll down your selection of fonts. Could be my computer - or could be Inkscape ot something to do with the fact I have many fonts - but they are all managed by fontbook. I am not sure why selecting a type face seems to take so long to scroll through the list of fonts.
    4. Inkscape struggles with type setting.
    Typesetting in Inkscape is slow. The critical problem with Inkscape type is that the type in the final Inkscape document (which is natively in the .svg format) will not open in Illustrator. This is not good. I am not sure why and I may possibly be doing something wrong - but I tried this in many ways and there appears to be a problem with the way Inkscape saves type - maybe its just certain fonts (non-type-1?) - not sure. Any Inkscape documents will open in Illustrator but the type will appear in a large black box - major problem. Obviously there is a font translation problem with the way Inkscape saves blocks of type. The solution is to not expect type to work between these two programs (between Inkscape and Illustrator) - but often you don't need to transfer your files between Inkscape and Illustrator and so for these projects this may not be a problem. Another solution is at the final stage of your drawing in Inkscape, convert all the type (if there is any type)to paths ("convert to path" feature) - but this procedure is irreversible - so save a copy of your document first with the fonts not converted to outline. I am sure newer versions of Inkscape will correct this problem eventually. I think there is future hope for Inkscape on this issue.
    Here are some other general points I noticed about Inkscape:
    The pattern tool (good for wallpaper):
    For fun, I tried the pattern tool to try and design a wallpaper pattern. Its pretty cool. You can turn any objects you draw into a wallpaper pattern.
    Another way to do wallpaper is to just manually copy and paste in a repeated manner offset by the length of your object until you have enough copies to make a full piece of wallpaper - but that takes longer than simply using the pattern tool.
    However, the best tool for generating patterns for wallpaper is probably this tiling feature:
    tiling:
    http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Tiles.html
    I wouldn't bother reading the whole manual - just the parts you might need to reference while working on a project. The bezier curve section in the manual is good to read:
    bezier curves:
    http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Paths-Creating.html
    As mentioned on that page, paths can be created using three ways:
    1. the Freehand tool
    2. the Bezier
    3. the Calligraphy tool
    My favourite is the bezier tool. It offers precise control.
    The other tools are good too (and probably fun to use) but for precise drawing, I like the Bezier tool myself.
    Other users might prefer the other drawing tools (Freehand tool or Calligraphy tool) for faster stroke creation and faster line effects.
    Once you draw a shape and close it (click on the first endpoint when placing the last endpoint) (I always recommend closing a shape - but you don't have to) then you can colour the shape any colour you would like or with a shaded gradient or even make it transparent to any degree and overlay it on top of other shapes. Lots of control to do some pretty creative stuff.
    I would also recommend organizing your drawing into layers. If...(continued on next post...)

  • Flash video loaded into FLV Player choppy

    I just upgraded to Flash 8 tonight, so I'm a little bit of a
    newbie as to the new FLV Player that's included (so cool though!!!)
    I was supposed to add a Preloader to a client's file tonight
    and got nowhere :(
    The Flash video that's being loaded into the FLV Player is
    choppy and I can't figure out how to add a preloader. I tried the
    AS from the help file, but it didn't work out. I'm assuming this AS
    is not for use with the FLV Player?
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated. I'm at my wits end with this
    and confused as to why I can't preload the movie. The preloader
    just blinks for a second, then the movie plays but it's large so it
    gets choppy every now and then.
    thanks!

    Actually I did try setting the buffer to 10 and it didn't
    correct the problem. Tried adding the suggested FLV Preloader but
    it doesn't work with this instance (component loading external
    movie file) so I ended up having to use a different FLV Player
    altogether and it worked fine. Seems like there is something wrong
    with the built-in component -i f another FLV Player works perfectly
    without any additional programming or tweaking and was developed by
    an outside source (other than Adobe.)
    Thanks for your reply though.
