FLVPlayback on iOS: METADATA_RECEIVED never fires

Hey All,
I'm experiencing an issue with FLVPlayback 2.5 on iOS on a Flash CS5.5 app compiled under Air 2.7. It appears as though the METADATA_RECEIVED event never fires when testing directly on the device. It works fine in the IDE debugger, it works on the desktop player, and works on Android (tested only on Honeycomb thus far). A symptom of this metadata never be received under iOS means that flvPlayback.totalTime isn't available either.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or can confirm/deny my findings. Any kind of work-around or hack to make this work? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my code:
_flvPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
_flvPlayback.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS, flvProgress);
_flvPlayback.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED, flvMetaDataReceived);
_flvPlayback.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, flvReady);
_flvPlayback.load(_url);
Thanks

Hi Sanika,
Thanks for your reply. I am not setting the skin property; I learned early on (to my dismay) that iOS doesn't support loading SWF files at runtime, so avoided that. I am handling the playback controls elsewhere, however this problem is occurring prior to the FLVPlayback control ever even being added to the stage.
One thing I noticed, that I have to do a little more testing on, is that once I add it to the stage and do a successful play-through, when I play the video a second time, the totalTime property is available.
Thanks again for your reply,
Scott

  • StageVideo and FP10.2, StageVideoAvailabilityEvent never fires?

    I can just create a new project, target Flash Player 10.2 and paste this into frame code:
    import flash.media.StageVideo;
    import flash.media.StageVideoAvailability;
    import flash.events.StageVideoAvailabilityEvent;
    import flash.events.StageVideoEvent;
    stage.addEventListener(StageVideoAvailabilityEvent.STAGE_VIDEO_AVAILABILITY, _checkAvailability);
    function _checkAvailability(e:StageVideoAvailabilityEvent):void
        trace('Available: ' + e.availability);
    The event never fires off. I look in the reference for StageVideo and I see it's available in Flash Player 10.2. What's up with this?
    edit:
    If I target AIR for iOS, this event does fire (I have AIR3.0 overlayed).

    Access to GPU requires setting embed wmode parameter to direct. Since preview player is not in html environment - this is not possible.

  • I tried to update the iOS and never finished the installation

    A day ago i tried to update the iOS of my iPad 2.
    Everthing looked good but it never started again.
    It's stuck in the tiny apply screen with the status bar under it.
    Have any suggestion of what to do?
    thank you in advance!!!

    Try this and see if it will restart the update. If it doe not work, you will need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    This explains how to restore with recovery mode.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

  • I have iOS 5, never updated before but want iOS6 now. Settings only offers iOS7?

    Hi. I own an iPhone 4 and would like to have iOS 6 on my phone in order to install BBM and other apps that require iOS 6 or iOS 7. I do not want iOS 7 because I don't like it. How can I possibly upgrade to iOS 6? When I visit settings on my phone in general it says the update that is available is only iOS 7!?

    I'm in a similar boat except I have an iPhone 4S.
    Just found this recent article on how to downgrade from ios7 but it requires the ios6 backup file so it may not work for us. But at least I am hoping this means Apple is now signing the ios6 again???
    http://www.heavy.com/tech/2013/09/how-to-downgrade-iphone-5-4s-4-restore-ios-7-i os-6-2/
    Does anyone know where we can download ios6 and install it for first use (meaning, not a downgrade from ios7)???

  • Can't believe ios developer never noticed this

    I just upgraded ios8 and installed a third party keyboard in instance, so I (foolishly) deleted original English keyboard because I thought it ***** and I don't need it anymore....Only then did I know that you CAN'T type password to unlock your iphone with 3rd-party keyboard!!! So I have to use itunes to restore my iphone, but, it said you have to turn off Find My iPhone to proceed, ***?? so that means I still have to unlock my iphone first!! I have not choice but to turn on Recovery Mode, then itunes told me there was not enough space (because I re-installed some large apps after upgrade), so I went to download a software to delete my apps then reset my iphone to default.
    So in short, delete a keyboard = recover your device.

    I was having the same problem, but strangely, I switched to Safari from Chrome, and suddenly I can access the website!! I am still seeing the We will be back soon page from Chrome tho..

  • IOS multiline textfield - enter key

    I'm having a weird bug on iOS
    I create 2 dynamic text fields, 1 multiline, 1 singleline. I run this on my ipad, I give the textfields focus by clicking on them to pull up the softkeyboard.
    The multiline textfield will have an enter button that say "Return"
    The singleline textfield will have an enter button that says "Done"
    add a listener for keyup
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, this._onKeyUp);
    private function _onKeyUp($event:KeyboardEvent):void{
                switch($event.keyCode){
                    case Keyboard.ENTER:
                    trace("HELLO?");
              break;
    The trace will only work when you press "Done", it never fires for "Return"

    Hi,
    Yes it's always allowed, however the problem comes when you then try to output it using an outputText, it won't show the line feed as \n is ignored in HTML. You have to use Trinidad's outputDocument component for that.

  • Adobe Flash Player for mobile (iOS and Android) devices

    I have both Apple iOS and Android devices, and can't install Adobe Flash Player on either.  It appears that Adobe no longer provides Flash Player for any mobile devices.  The company I work for uses a a company called Paychex for payroll and time & labor, and that program requires Adobe Flash Player to function.  I am sometimes in areas where I cannot use my computer and must rely on a mobile device to clock in and out, but I can't do that because you have stopped providing the program.  What do I do now?????

    iOS has never been compatible with Flash, and per Apple, never will be. It's a lost cause hoping for an iPad Flash Player.
    Additionally, Android dropped ALL support for Flash last year. Adobe stopped development of Flash for Android shortly afterward.
    See: "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)
    The reason both Android and Apple gave for their Flash support decisions is that Flash content is very processor consumptive and it eats battery life in mobile devices.

  • Air 3.3 and background ios apps

    Hi All
    I cannot find some coherent information on this so I am asking here.
    I need to write an iOS app that needs to perform a webservice call every x minutes to update the slqite db on the device, even if the application is not running in the foreground.
    From google what I could find out was that iOS will only allow your app to run a small time after closing(to finish an upload etc).
    e.g. "AIR does not provide support for this iOS background processing model":  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/considerations-air-apps-mobile.html#articleconten tAdobe_numberedheader_5
    but then later " applications may now support location updates and networking in the background": http://forums.adobe.com/message/4380335http://forums.adobe.com/message/4380335
    Can I do what I need in Air 3.3+ an iOS 5.1+ ?
    Thank You

    Some of the statements in this thread are no longer true, or need to be updated.
    Here is a recap:
    As of AIR 3.9, background execution will work on iOS+Android with render mode set to 'direct' ( which implies that you are using Stage3D ).
    For background execution to work in iOS, you need:
    to set NativeApplication.nativeApplication.executeInBackground = true, in your as3 code somewhere ( note: strangely, background exec on iOS has worked for me in the past even by not doing that ).
    to add in the iPhone section of your app manifest ( *-app.xml ):
    UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = false
    UIBackgroundModes = audio ( and/or location, or some other background mode ).
    a good excuse / reason :  since battery-gate on the iPhone4, Apple has  tightened its policies regarding background execution.  For example:  last time I tried, setting UIBackgroundModes=audio was only allowed if the app was intended to play a sound persistently in the background ( not occasionally, such as an alarm clock sound ).
    For local notifications, I recommend Distriqt's local notification ANE ( Android+iOS), since it's the ony one I know which uses the AlarmManager api on Android ( Koesler's Android Local notif doesn't last time I checked ).  This means that on Android, the local notification can be scheduled for a later time ( same as iOS ), and will fire EVEN if the app is either minimized or has been closed properly ( meaning closed by the OS, or by the user via NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit() -- note: force-stopping is the exception and cancels scheduled notifications on Android ).  You can also have the local notification play a custom sound which is up to 30 secs long ( mp3s on Android / cafs on iOS).  Sound will be audible on both platforms, even if the device is suspended.  This is ideal for an alarm-clock, for example.  The downside of local notifs is that they don't execute code, per se, however they can pass a data payload ( text ) back to the app, if it is running ( even if minimized ), which a handler can receive to do stuff.

  • Update notices never appear in iTunes/Mac for free-with-iPhone 5s apps: Numbers, Pages, or Keynote

    When I bought my iPhone 5s, I was given the opportunity to get Numbers, Pages, and Keynote for free. Visiting the App Store on my phone, I downloaded each one of them.
    I usually use iTunes for the Mac to manage my iPhone, so the apps were available for downloading within iTunes/Mac after I had downloaded them on my iPhone.
    But unlike all of my other apps, I've never gotten a notice within iTunes/Mac that there is an updated version of these three apps. On my iPhone, they show up in the badge and within the app in the "Updates" list. But on iTunes for the Mac, I never see a notice within the Apps section (not even the "Updates" tab of that section, which only lists apps with available updates). All of my other apps that I've puchased or gotten for free appear in the "Updates" tab when a new version is available.
    I prefer to do manual app updates on my phone, and I usually use iTunes on the Mac to download updates. But since I rarely look at the App Store app on my iPhone, and never see the update notices appear in iTunes for the Mac.
    Please note that I have updated all of the things I mention above: OS X (latest version of Mavericks), iTunes (11.1.4), iOS (7.0.4), and the Numbers, Pages, and Keynote apps. The problem is that the updates for the three iOS apps never appear in iTunes for Mac, unless I navigate to the app page and manually download it.
    I'm not sure how to communicate this bug to Apple, if it's something they need to fix; or how to resolve it myself, if it's something I have control over.
    Does anyone have an idea?

    oh... then I understood wrong. thanks for the hint. Would be great, when apple would change that... cause Steve said, from now... the pc/mac is just another device in the cloud...
    that would be believable...

  • I have 2 gmail accounts  - one synchronises, one is grey, showing no data entry and a date 01.01.70 - any ideas how to fix it? (iphone5 /ioS /)

    I have 2 gmail accounts on my iphone 5 with IOS 7 - a private and a business account. Both are set up exactly the same way, just the username and the password are different. One account synchronizes as usual via mail app, the other account seems to do the same thing as well but after synchrinizing this account is highlighted grey for a while. When I go to "all mails" I see tons of mails dated 01.01.1970 with no sender or content. After a few minutes I can use the account in a normal way again and all the " no sender " mails vanished. How can I fix the problem?
    Thank you in advance for helping!

    For me the same problem: 2 gmail accounts, one ore both have often the folder greyed out. After a reset by holding down both buttons it works for a few minutes then the problem is there again.
    Also the same problem with the no subject 01.01.1970 emails (this was also there in previos IOS and never been solved!).
    I have a 4S with IOS7.
    For now my only solution is to switch to Mailbox.
    Best regards

  • How to change language in IOS 6 Maps?

    Hello, everyone!
    I'm from Ukraine, and I have a problem with maps. The problem is:
    The IOS 6 maps displays street's names in Ukrainian language, so there is no way to set Russian adress for search.
    Also the Setteing "Always in Russian" in Maps settings -> inscriptions on map doesn't work (((

    I have the same problem.  I upgrade to iOS on my iPhone and iPad yesterday.  I'm American living in Germany.  Both devices came up with the Germany iTunes/App Store after the upgrade.  Now I must ask, why would the device destroy my country connection just because it upgraded the iOS.  Never happened from iOS 4 to iOS 5.  Strange.  But I verified Settings...iTunes & App Stores, clicked on my Apple ID: [email protected], clicked View Apple ID, entered password, and sure enough, still says United States.  Therefore, powered off the device, rebooted, and the store was correct (United States), where it should have been without all these steps.

  • HT4623 Iphone Battery affected by IOS upgrading

    Regards
    I am having problems with my Iphone 4battery, after I've upgraded the IOS.  I used to have charge for the entire day (web browsing, text messages, phone calls, even I listen the radio). after I have accepted to update the sorfware, the battery life drops in 1 hour (100%-0%).
    My cellphone, its in good shape and conditions, I have a contract for three years, and I dont have plans to change my equipment soon.
    Regards
    Maria VCT

    While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, just be aware that after every iOS update there is a group of users that report faster than normal battery drain.
    The vast majority of battery issues are resolved by basic troubleshooting.
    Most iOS users never experience battery issues or any other issues for that matter after iOS updates.
    There is no battery issue to fix or any reason to believe that a fix for these mysterious battery issues will appear in the next iOS update.
