FLV player seek bar

this may be a really dumb question, but this is all new to
me. Show a noob some sympathy.
I've created a FLV with On2, and used the insert Flash Video
command in Dreamweaver 8. the video plays well, the skin shows up,
but there is no visible progress being recorded in the seek bar.
Meaning, there's no bar that grows longer as more of the video is
downloaded. The playhead moves along well, and I can scrub across
the video that has been downloaded, but I can't see how much of the
file has been downloaded. I just have to guess.
How can I remedy this problem? is it actionScript? adding a
parameter? Do I need to do it in Flash or can it be done in
Dreamweaver?
I've been searching for solutions to no avail, so any help
would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
JP

Hi
There is an answer to this problem, but as you posted your question in answer to someone else's question!! (try posting a question on the flash forum).

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:

Seek bar for music

Hi!
I know flash has seek bar component for flv videos but I'm
streaming music from net. I have a code for loading entire song but
is it possible to add a seek bar to show what part of song is
playing

Yes, if you just want to track the progress of the sound
file's playing, its pretty simple. You'll need a couple of
variables, one to hold the value of the sound file's duration. And
another to define the width of the seek bar object.
In your download complete function give the duration variable
the value of the sound's duration property. Then assign an
enterframe function to update the seek bar. Just take the
soundChannel.position property value and divide it by the sound
file's duration property value. This will give you a ratio of the
current position relative to the total time. Then multiply that
value by the total width of the seek bar. Position the marker at
that point on the seek bar.

FLV player not working on website

Well recently I've been making a website, I'm recently new to Dreamweaver, and previously I had input two FLV's in two different AP div boxes. They both worked fine, but after creating a few more pages, I can only come back to see it broken. Instead of a play button with the bar, it's just a picture with the play, pause buttons all over it (attached). I'm really confused why, I don't think I edited it at all. I'm really stressing out because my projet is due tomorrow and this last problem just arises!
Thank
P.s I currently use Dreamweaver Cs6 on Mountain Lion Mac.

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)?

Seek Bar Component Flash CS5

Hi, I've been trying to use the seek bar component in Flash CS5.
I've managed to use create my own play and pause buttons using the following code:
playbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPlayVideo);
function fl_ClickToPlayVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Replace video_instance_name with the instance name of the video component
          video.play();
pausebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPauseVideo);
function fl_ClickToPauseVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Replace video_instance_name with the instance name of the video component
          video.pause();
I've dragged the SeekBar component onto the stage and given it an instance name of "mySeekBar".
I have then referenced this in the Actionscript as follows:
video.seekBar = mySeekBar;
However, the seek bar doesn't work. It displays but there is no slider etc.
Can anyone help me out as I have very little knowledge of Actionscript!
Thanks.

Need help with flash player / slider bar navigation

Hello, I am having a flash player developed right now for a
intensive video site.
I have a few questions since I'm new to flash.
I would like the users to be able to jump forward in the
video at any point. However, the player my developer gave me cannot
do this. He is telling me that I will need FMS (Flash Media Server)
software on my server in order to do this.
Is this correct? Can we get this option without FMS?
Also, is this a big change in scope to add this in. Our flash
player is already done but does not have this very important
feature.
Thanks in advance.

There are two methods to having this work.
1. Use the FMS as your developer already stated.
2. Keyframe the heck out of the FLV. This works because the
typical player skin allows you to skip around to a keyframe. The
more keyframes you have, the more places you can skip around to.
The downside is that each keyframe you add to the video adds file
size. You may also need to set the totalTime parameter of the video
on load.
:: EDIT ::
You ask about implementation and scope changes in your
question. The first is a very big scope change, and very costly to
implement. The second, if the player that was developed uses the
standard classes for the player scrub bar, would likely only
require a re-encode of every video.

Flv player works locally but not when uploaded

Another day, another issue...
I have a flash movie that includes an flv player with previews and buttons. It reads the content from an xml file.
It works without problem when I test it locally. Trouble is when I upload it, everything displays correctly but the flv movie file doesn't play. Here's the test link:
http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.html
XML file is http://www.swsoftware.com/NCJHS/Assets/Video/video.xml
Flash file is http://www.swsoftware.com/ncjhs/assets/video/flvplayer.fla
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm new to flash and this forum has been a tremendous help in resolving my (somewhat numerous) problems.

My own built fullscreen mode flv player is not working in Mac OS

I built a flv player, it is just a normal video player with a
fullscreen mode.
The video player is work fine in Window IE, FF, and Safari.
But not not working in Mac OS X, leopard & tiger &
May I know what might cause this problem?
I m usng action script 3, flash cs3 & all my browsers
already upgrade to latest version of Flash Player.
Help!!!

I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac

[http://www.pavtube.com/christmas2009/]
A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac
Are you prepared to download FLV videos from YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other video websites to play on your Mac or portable players, or do some further editing with certain editors? In my experience, assuming you have this idea, you must take advantage of three kinds of tools, including FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter to achieve the goal.
Of course, I am not speaking this to depress you, but to share my collections of these tools to show my kindness. Sure, just for people who have these needs.
At first, I’ll introduce you several FLV downloaders for Mac, I have tried all of them, and basically they can achieve my goal of downloading FLV videos online.
Free FLV downloaders for Mac:
Web Video Downloader for Firefox
Free Video Downloader for Mac
Free YouTube Downloader for Mac
I also know some free FLV players, and recommend them to you here, hope they can assist you to play FLV videos on your Mac smoothly.
Free FLV player, Mac OS X:
Adobe Media Player
Wimpy FLV Player
QuickTime, after installation of the Perian video plugin
SWF & FLV Player
CorePlayer
(Tip: the above pieces of software can easily be searched in Google, so I do not give you the links here. I’m sure you can get them with ease.)
Well, we have gone through the FLV downloaders and FLV players in the above passages, now it’s time to introduce you a FLV converter for Mac. This program I recommend is Pavtube FLV Converter for Mac, which can perfectly convert FLV videos to a wide range of video formats, so that you can do whatever you like with the resulted videos, such as playing on your iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PSP, Apple TV, etc. or exporting to iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express to do further editing, or doing something else as you like. But how to use it? You may ask me. Take it easy, a step-by-step instruction is involved in the following part.
1. Download, install and run this program
A sky-blue interface will be shown to you as follow:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV files to it by clicking button “Add”, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press “Browse” to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default.
3. Set advanced settings
Click button[b] “Settings”, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. to optimize the output videos.
4. Convert
This FLV Converter for mac can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality, also it do not have the problem of audio-video out of sync. Therefore you need not worry about these issues. Moreover, if you want to add watermark as your own logo or reserve your copyright, you can totally do it with this program.
Ok, the introduction to the three kinds of tools which you may need while dealing with FLV videos is over, sincerely hope they can deliver you useful information, because you know, it’s my original intention.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.

Zshare streaming: Seek bar doesn't fully work

When occasionally watching a zshare stream (dislike downloading, takes too long, rather wait a few minutes and then start watching the stream), the stream loads just fine, I can click on the seek bar to make it start from a different position, and it can do this just great.
The video can stream, and it can save itself temporarily for me to watch when I'm comfortable.
The problem I'm having is, I simply can't click the seek bar unless I want to scrap all the data downloaded so far. Clicking on the seek bar (even if the video is fully loaded) will reset all data and start restreaming all over again.
Is this a firefox problem? Zshare simply doesn't allow this function, even though giving me a seek bar makes me assume it does support it...
Megavideo, Youtube, Veoh and many other video streaming services have a fully functioning streaming feature. Zshare simply won't work...
Any help is appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== watching any Zshare videos

Same here and got no clue what's causing it

Release the memory with stop the flv player

Hi
I have a problem with using flash component flv player. In my project, I have some buttons which every one load a movie. when click a button , at first the before movie was loading should be stoped then the new movie start. I stop the before one with this code:
flvPlayback1.stop();
      if(flvPlayback1.parent) {
      flvPlayback1.closeVideoPlayer(1);
   removeChild(flvPlayback1);
but it seams these codes could not release the memory, because after loading the next movie the memory usage will increase about 0.1G,

Flv player doesn't work!!!

Hi,

Has anyone actually been able to build a FLV player with Flex 2?

I have been playing around with a FLV player in Flex 2, but I
keep on running into one big problem: I never get a picture. Sound
is not a problem, and all code seems to do exactly what it should.
Except for the video showing up... I have tried loads of examples,
read all of the docs I could get my hands on, but it all ends the
same: no picture.
The best solution (imho) I found is listed below, but still
it does not do what it is supposed to do. Still, I only get audio.
If there's anyone who's got a player working with the Video
object using Flex 2 (SDK), I would *love* to hear your solution.
Michiel.

_playbackTime.text = Math.round(_stream.time) + " / " +

Hi Chielosos,
In your code, after
import flash.utils.Timer;
You may need to add
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding =
flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
SharedObject.defaultObjectEncoding =
flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
Hope it works,
