FLV progressive download and MediaPlayback component???

Hi
I have to use FLV and progressive download. I did that with
the Video Object. That works great. The problem is that Video
Object does not allow us to control movie volume. It does not give
many function to control my movie. So the solution should be to use
the MediaPlayback component that gives me many fonctions, listner,
... But how to make it works with a FLV that reside on the server
but not in Streaming. I need to load it in progressive.
Any idea.

It's a snap with Flash 8 Pro. You just attach a skin to the
FLV with all the components (such as volume, mute, play, and pause)
and your good to go. Not sure how it works with earlier versions of
Flash.

FLV Progressive Download SeekNavCue

Hello! I have been working on this issue for a couple days
now and cannot seem to find the resolution. I have a flash movie
that includes three FLV files that are progressively downloaded. I
have no problems playing them, but when I get to a certain point in
one, I want to switch to the other, but start the second FLV at a
certain cue point. The test works when I play from my hard drive,
but Since the files are progressive download, they don't jump to
the correct cue point when viewed online. Any suggestions on what I
should try next? My code for the FLV switch is below:
This is on the first frame (checks to see if the root var is
set to 1, if not then it should jump to a specific point in the
FLV):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
var pam_vid:FLVPlayback;
if (_root.link == 1) {
pam_vid.play();
if (_root.link == 2) {
pam_vid.seekToNavCuePoint(repeatStory);
pam_vid.play();
This script is put on the last frame (detects when the video
file is done playing, then jumps to frame 1 and checks the root
var):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
stop();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
pam_back.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
if(infoObject.info.name == "cue2"){
trace("cue2");
_root.link = 2;
gotoAndPlay(1);
thanks,
Christy

FLV progressive download. Keeps dropping out around 50%. Why?

I have simply imported an FLV video of around 26 MBs.
In the import options, I selected download from server for progressive download. I publish to html, upload everything where it should be (in one folder). I begin watching the video and it plays fine, then, about 50% of the way through, the candy strip on the player skin starts flashing, even though it's still buffering way infront of where we are through the video. Once it gets to the point where the candy strip started flashing, the video returns to the beginning and I can't play the rest of it?! It does this in the same position each time. I have tried downloading the flv and checking it's complete and it is so i'm confused!
When viewing it locally on my machine, using the html file it works fine!? I have come up against this before and can't find the reason why. Some help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's really frustrating me and preventing me from deploying videos which need to be sorted.

Have you tried with other browsers or other computers? It may be a problem with limited cache size or space.

Progressive download and drag

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my Flash player and hope this is the correct forum for this query.
I am using a progressive download (no FMS available sadly) and when I try to skip forward (by dragging the seekbar handle) to a place in the video where the video has not downloaded, then it just starts to download from the beginning again.
For example, if I have a video of a 10 minute duration:
- The download begins and has happened between 0-5 minutes
- I drag the handle to 7 minutes
- The download begins again - but from 0minutes, not 7, even though the handle is at the 7 minute location.
Thanks.

Yes they are separate. Progressive download does not count as concurrent connections.

Progressive Download and FMS V4.0

Does a progressive download served by the server count as a concurrent connection/unicast streams? I would assume they are separate.

Flv progressive downloading issue

I have been hitting my head against the wall with this one.
When I use the flvplayback component on a test swf with one frame,
my video plays fine. But when I insert the component in an
exsisting swf which has many layers and frames, it will not play.
Anyone know a reason this might be happening. For now, the flv is
being played locally.
Thank you in advance...
Ed

Thanks charles.crepin and Nickels55. I found out the issue I
was having. My Publish preferences were set for ActionScript 1.0. I
changed to include 2.0 and all worked.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.

Can't view flv (progressive download) in Captivate 3

I've been trying to link to an .flv file in my Captivate 3 project, and I believe I'm doing everything right. However, when I preview or watch the published swf the .flv does not appear at all. It does appear on my slide along with the playback controls I've selected.
I've searched the forum and I saw the tip about making sure you've injected your .flv with metadata, which I did using this little program: http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/ and it still didn't work for me.
I've tried using the absolute path (which is a folder on my local drive and the project is also in my local drive) and the relative path and still no luck. Any other ideas about what I could be doing wrong?
¡Gracias!
Danny

FLV and Progressive download bug

Hi
that is weird. I try to load a FLV as a progressive download.
When I test it on my computer. The video works great and I can
display the Stream totalbytes. When I test it on the web, the video
does not display, the streaming diusplay -1 and the page does not
stop loading and loading.
I use Flash 7 and yes all the doc are on the web in the same
folder as it is on my computer.
You can see the code I use
Any idea.

Tanx!
That was the bug. Now it's fixed.
Have another question. I use it with the Video not the
MediaPlayback. Is there a way to link the NetStream to the
MediaPlayback instead of my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
Tanx in advanced!

What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

Hello everybody,
I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
I would be very thankful for some helping information!
Greetings,
Mareike the beginner

Welcome to our community
I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
Cheers... Rick

AS2 - FLVPlayback progressive download video doesn't play until fully downloaded, and sometimes it d

I'm loading video content paths from an external XML file into the FLVPlayback component. The issue I'm having is that the progressive download action is so inconsistent, sometimes it plays the video right away as the video is playing, and sometimes it does not play the video at all until the entire video is completely loaded. I would like to have the video play right away as the video is downloaded. I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. Any ideas?
/*--- autoplay is checked in the components inspector ---*/
playback1.contentPath = getNodeValue(findNode(videos, "one"));

Anyone?

When to use FLVPlayback and when to use MediaPlayback component

Hi,
I looked at at the FLVPLayback component and the
MediaPlayback Component and I wonder when one should be used over
the other? Any experienced designer out there that can tell me?
thanks
-Malena

Hey, My problem with using flvplayback is that SOME windows
vista computers, and i seriously cannot figure out exactly what it
is but they will play the flv very choppy and so i had to use
mediaplayback and it works fine on all computers that i have tested
it on. it was VERY annoying because my client kept attempting to
watch video from his computer and it came through as garbage and
when i watched it, well it was perfect. so i tested it out on
several different computers and operating systems and found that
certain computers were just not compatible. I am assuming they were
just not up to date? i dunno, i have a mac, dont have those
problems :)

Progressive download flv never plays

Using CS3
Hello people,
Like the title states my Progressive download never plays. Before I waste your time and mine showing the methods used I rather start off simple.
Are there any reasons an flv might not be allowed to stream? I have followed the methods in every Progressive video tutorial I can find (about 7 so far) and they explain the exact same steps yet my flv never plays. I have also done it entirely with just action scripte and nothing. I get the player and my video list but never get the video.
Yes, I have the Source set to the web directory of my flv in the parameters in the property inspector.
I have also tried to use this method with other types of video and it also never plays. The only thing that works is embedd it which is of course a terrible only choice.
Not sure this is the correct place to post this but the other choices I saw look like a worst choice than this one.

It plays fine locally but just doesn't on the server.
I read another post when someone mentioned something about their host being the problem which I don't understand. I stream audio no problem and have 11 websites. I have never done anything with video though until now other than Premeire and After Effects with actually editing video but no idea what the host would be blocking in a progressive streaming situation. I know my host doesn't have Flash Media Server but that's why I've been trying progressive.

I cannot seem to get the app to download and install. I get the spinning progress wheel.

Flash Player update 10.3 unable to download and save flv files

Hello,
Since the Flash Player update to 10.3.183.10 it is no longer possible for me to download and save *.flv files. A file of only 2320 kb is saved along with a meta file of 1 kb. The 2320 kb file has a flv extension but the file will not play in any of my media players. Files of mp4 type still download and play fine. The problem only occurred following the last upgrade and even though I uninstalled then reinstalled Adobe Flash Player I cannot overcome the problem. My PC runs MS Windows Vista Home Premium Version: 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. Browser Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421.
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
Dibloc

Thank you.
The problem only occurs when downloading flv files from YouTube. For all video downloads I have been using RealPlayer and experience no problems when downloading flv files from sites other than YouTube.
Have been able to download these files now using the site http://www.savevid.com/
Perhaps YouTube are blocking the use of RealPlayer from downloading flv files?

Can anyone help? I have downloaded and installed the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component but it doesn't work.

I purchased the QuickTime MPEG-2 component for Quicktime as I am using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to be able to via MPEG-2 transport streams.
I paid £14.00 - everything downloaded and installed fine but it doesn't work and I am still unable to view the transport streams in Quicktime even though according to the website this is want the component will let me do.
I have rebooted several times, reinstalled both Quicktime and the MPEG-2 component and still nothing. I have then spent ages going around and around in circles on the website trying to find a way of emailing customer services or technical support to get some assistance but I just always end back in the same place no further forward.
Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!

1) Suggest you reread the "Feature" details for the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component paying particular attention to the paragraph titled "Can transport streams be played?" which clearly states that this codec does NOT support the playback of transport stream (TS) files.
2) This codec can only be used with "classic" QT apps such as the QT 7 player, GarageBand, or third-party apps like the free MPEG Streamclip app.
3) The VLC player intrinsically supports TS files. MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed supports TS file playback.
4) MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed can also resave muxed TS file content as muxed program stream (PS) content which is then "playback" compatible with both QT 7 and QT X players (assuming you select an audio compression format compatible with both) or convert the muxed TS content to QT "edit" compatible compression formats if desired.
Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!
Apple seldom makes refunds to people who successfully purchase software which they do not really understand how to use—cavaet emptor. It is difficult to make suggestions here without knowing more about your personal preferences and/or work flow requirements. I personally would keep the codec to enhance various playback, conversion, and editing options on my Mac.
