How can i play encrypted video(.mp4) in iphone app?

Hello,
I want to play encrypted mp4 video in my app.
How can i play encrypted video in iphone app?

Thanks for your assistance. Unfortunately I'm still not able to get this to work.
First, I don't see an export to Quicktime in AppleTV format setting. The only choices that I have are export to Quicktime in Full, CD, email or streaming video format.
I tried both full and CD but I still cannot get it to my AppleTV. Once the video is in Quicktime format I drag and drop the file into my iTunes library. It shows up in the movies directory on Itunes but when I sync Itunes with Apple TV - nothing. Everything else syncs but just not the quicktime movie.
Any ideas?

I have a gmail account and someone sent me a video. How can I play the video message on my ipad?

I'm new to ipad. I received a video message in gmail. How can I play it on my ipad?

Leslie-
The iPad can not play some video formats such as WMV or FLV. Those would need to be converted on your computer to something the iPad can play, like M4V or MP4.
You might ask the person who sent the message to you to do the conversion and send it again.

How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
private static Media mLogo;
private static Media mSaludo;
private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
private static MediaView mvLogo;
private static Group gLogo;
public void start(final Stage stage) {
mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
stage.setScene(sActual);
stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();or this:
mpB.media(mSaludo);
sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
Thanks

Ok, I understand, if I have 100 videos I have to build 100 MediaPlayers but only one MediaView.
Here I post my code with only two videos, I included all the asynchronous errors.

How can I play HD video on my ION s12?

I have tried playing HD content like .mkv files and I get stuttering so badly that it is not watchable. I have updated the drivers and have the combined community codec installed. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey pteriss
I just found the problem. Just like I thought and also previously mentioned, is all about the codecs and players used.
As you might already know, any video file should be played with Media Player Classic or VLC as this players support almost all formats out there.
Now, like I also mentioned, Youtube and Hulu HD and anything based on web comes from flash video so dont expect ION to play nice. You will need to wait for Flash 10.1 to become official and Geforce drivers to update support (they only support beta 10.1 for now).
For the regular video files. .mov files WONT PLAY NICE. That is, things like Apple trailers wont play nice. I dont think thats an ION problem but more like Apple/Quicktime not fully optimized.
Now, you can try other formats and you WILL SEE ION can indeed PLAY 1080p with NO problems.
Formats that wont give you problems (from what I checked) are WMV HD (Microsoft) and MPEG2. I just downloaded 2 samples of each and they play GREAT! Both 1080p and 720p. The 720p looks better because of the screen size, it fits perfectly. 1080p still plays but you know, Media Player Classic has to resize the video to make it fit and it ends up as 4:3, but still plays. 720p no problem stays 16:9 and plays nice. I would use 1080p whenever I need to send it out through the HDMI port as the screen size best fits 720p.
Now, I still need to test MP4 format, IM PRETTY SURE THIS ONE WONT GIVE PROBLEMS EITHER!. This is such a popular format Im 99% sure it should also play as good as WMV HD or MPEG2.
Now, there is one more format which is VC-1. Im downloading a demo movie right now to see how it plays. Will update this post later and let you know how it goes.
So far we got this conclusion
In 720p & 1080p:
WMV HD = Excellent
MPEG 2 = Excellent
MP4 = Should be playable
VC-1 = Decent, its watchable
Quicktime (.Mov) = Not playable
Matroska (mkv) = Should be playable (with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack)
Youtube HD/ Hulu HD = Without Flash 10.1, you cannot play online videos at all. With Flash 10.1 & GeForce 195 or later drivers, you can watch 360p, 480p, and even 720p without problems!. 1080 gives it a hard time, little worse than playing a VC-1 file (check above), but 720p is fine at this early stage of Flash video on the GPU.
Just want to mention my specs. Lenovo S12 ION, Win XP Pro, K-Lite Mega 5.6.1, Media Player Classic.
And if you guys want to test samples and enjoy some 720p/1080p, here is the website I used
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-940526.html
UPDATE 01/22/10: Just remembered about Matroska (mkv) will test that later. VC-1 results updated. Youtube HD/Hulu HD results also updated.

How can I play online videos without many long pauses during play?

I have current flash and 7. Lately, all online videos have many long pauses throughout play. They used to play continuously through. Flash is enabled.
How can I solve this?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video

How can I play a video in the background iphone 5s?

You can type a message or search on the web for many other things I don't know what to do for that is there anything that I can do?
Thank you!

How can I play avi video on my ipad 2

I have tried to play avi video on my ipad 2. It will load and show on the screen but will not play. Any ideas? Thanks.

AVI is a Windows file. You will need a .mov copy. You could also check for apps that play AVI files

How do I play flv videos on iOS?

I use netconnect and netstream in my actionscript 3 flash player for desktop FLV video playback. But now I would like to add support for Apple iPad.
I recently upgraded to Flash Developer Pro CS6 as part of my master suite upgrade. I was hoping for an HTML5 solution, but a large FLA conversion does not seem likely.
So now I think I will have to port my FLA actionscript 3 code and the various assests for tooltips and buttons as an AIR application.
Is publishing my SWF as an AIR app the correct way to support mobile iOS devices? Any example code solutions out there? Any gotchas?
Here is a link to my flash player overview video that I call "LectureMaker's Cross-domain video platform" for reference:
http://www.lecturemaker.com/products_services/cross-domain-video-platform/#video
I see old references to this question, but I think it is time to revisit this problem with some fresh ideas hopefully....
Best regards,

Can't play .flv video in Flash 8

I have recently converted three videos (each about 4 minutes
long) from .mov to .flv. in order to play them in Flash. However, I
can’t get them to play in Flash 8 Professional. I followed
the instructions in Flash help and imported the video into Flash
using the Video Import Wizard. I tried using each of the four
deployment options starting with “Progressive download from a
web server.” In my video folder I end up with three files for
a video, a Flash Video File (with FLV in the upper left corner), a
Flash Movie File, a Flash Document file, and a ClearOverPlayMute
Flash Movie file. However, when I open any of the files (including
the movie files) and click on Test Movie, the video doesn’t
play. To make things more interesting, I had previously converted
the same three videos from .mov to .flv before editing them and was
able to play all of them in Flash. But I can’t seem to repeat
the process with my new edited versions. I would appreciate it if
anybody could let me know what I am doing wrong.

In our experience with doing what you have described is this.
It takes 3 different pages of 3 different codes, to make
something play. Music, Videos-whatever.
html
php
javascript
Why, because someone didn't think forward enough to
incorporate it all into 1 easy to use thing at the time. There are
things available now that will do them all for you (Like my space
does for you), but we don't know where to send you to get them.
Good luck, and please do let us know if you find the proper
converter that will do it all for you and all you have to do is
give it a name, as we have well OVER 10 terabytes of video that we
would LOVE to share with the World, and writing 3 pages of code for
each video will take approximately 437 lifetimes, and we're all on
our last one already........

How can I play a video on iPad and still be able to record a voiceover

I know the question is a bit confusing... so here it is:
I am currently working on a brand activation where people watch a World Cup highlight, and then have the chance of recording their own commentary, then it gets posted to facebook and the more likes it gets blah blah blah.
On Chrome on android, we dont see to have a problem, the video plays within the microsite, and users can press the "record a commentary" button and they can record their voices while watching the video.
However, on iOS, as soon as you click the play button, the video plays "out" of the microsite, and it takes over the full screen. Which means there is no way that people can see our microsite while the video is playing, which means that they can not record their commentary.
I am not a developer, nor am I a programmer... so if someone can answer me in plain English why this is... and if there is a fix.
The only catch is that people all over the city will visit this microsite and have the chance to "record a commentary" so suggestions like buy this app or that app and install it on all the ipads that are going to use the microsite... well... thats impossible.
I am thinking out aloud here... but since it works on chrome on android... would it work on chrome for ipad? Currently it doesnt, but maybe my developers need to do something in the backend to make it work.
Any suggestions would be great!

Yes, but just so you know, when you play a song from iTunes Match it is still downloaded to your iPad in the background. If you download it from iTunes Match before playing it you can later swipe over the song title to delete it. If you play it without downloading, it is stored in cache memory and cannot be deleted manually later without restoring your iPad. Instead, these songs are automatically deleted as your iPad begins to run out of memory.
