How do I force progressive download?

I have an Adobe Media Server all set up and playing videos over RTMP.
Users on low bandwith settings experience buffering, on occasion. To combat this, I want to force users to download the entire video before they watch any of it.
Through my research, I've found that "Progressive download" is the way to go if I want to do this, though I haven't found how to enable or access this on the server.
How do I force progressive download?

I am in control of the client. I'm using the Strobe Media Playback, and alternatively, a simple flash client using netConnection and netStream.
How do I set it on the client? Is it a change of "rtmp://" to "http://", or do I have to change a flashvar setting or what?
And if I set progressive download on the client, would it be different than using HDS or HLS?
In my http.conf, what I changed is:
Under <Location /hls-vod>
HttpStreamingContentPath
from "../webroot/vod" to "../applications/recorder/streams/_definst_"
All of my videos are in that directory.

How do I force a download of Premiere CS6?

I'm trying to download CS6 to get Encore. When I click on Download Premiere CS6 from the Premiere page, the CC "app list" launches from my top menu bar (Mac). The app list tells me that my CS6 is up-to-date. Problem is, I deleted the files weeks ago. Somehow CC is not up-to-date with the apps running on my machine, and seems to be blocking my attempts to re-download. Yes, I dragged the apps to the trash a few weeks ago, rather that doing an uninstall.
How can I force download Premiere CS6 to get Encore? Tried also quitting CC, but when I click on Download, the CC app launches again.
Thanks for any help!

How to halt http progressive download in FLVPlayback?

Hi all you Flash video experts,
I'm building a CD-ROM presentation with a lot of videos,
divided in 10-12 sections.
I want to use the same FLVPlayback component to show all of
my videos. (with differents active VideoPlayers)
To initialise the thing, I loop in sequence that looks like
that:
1- increment the activeVideoPlayerIndex
2- set the contentPath to the next FLV (http progressive)
3- catch the event READY, wich is dispatched when the
buffertime have been reached
4- go to step 1
On my local drive, it's working like a charm, but I will have
to put that on the web eventually, so it wiil not work.
What I need to do, is when i catch the event READY, I would
like to halt the download in the activeVideoPlayerIndex in order to
optimise this initialisation process.
I have try this (in step 3 in example above):
myFLVPlayback.ncMgr.close();
but it does not do what I want. (all activeVideoPlayers
continue and finish there own download and the playhead never
starts)
Can I change the class mx.video.NCManager to help me on
this?!
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks!

No progressive download for H.264?

I was encoding a 6 minute video for web delivery in H.264 and it appeared that there is no provision for encoding for Fast Start or other setting to allow progressive download. The 6 minute video compressed in H.264 to about 30MB and was only downloadable off our web host as a full download. This required about 20-25 seconds on cable modem. Not a satisfactory result!
Does anyone know how to set for progressive download? I had the same experience when encoding into the variations in QuickTime.
This is crazy. If this is not currently possible, does anyone know if Adobe is taking steps to remedy? Is this remedied in CS4? I have heard reports of excessive crashing in Premiere CS4 so I have been reluctant to upgrade.
Regards.
Jeff

For a meaningful comparison, would you not have to view the same video,
encoded at the same bit rate for each format and in the same frame size and
frame rate?
I am not the expert here, but it seems to me that this condition would
have to be met to farily compare. Easily done of course if you provide your own
video for comparison, and that is exactly what I am trying to do. Can QT
Pro output an H.264 in MPEG-4 as well as QT wrappers?
I am going to experiment with both formats as well as Real Media and
Windows Media at similar settings. I do not have a program to simply encode
swf's without taking a few extra steps. It is cumbersome. To my knowledge,
flv's need to be embedded into a web page or otherwise incorporated into a swf
to be widely viewable. While I have a few players which can play flv's
directly, these are not as widespread as QuickTime or Real Player. Not sure,
but I think that Window's Media Player can play QuickTime files. I do not
try this too much so I am not positive.
Thanks for the help and best wishes. I will probably bite the bullet for
QT Pro in the next day or so. I think it is only around $30.

HTTP Progressive Download

Hi,
We tried to stream from FMS 3.5 flv files through HTTP,
How can we prevent Progressive download when we stream flv via HTTP?
We tried some configuration but it seems that files are always download to the local computer temp folder
Can someone point to documentation that explain how to stream flv without Progressive download ?

If you're already running IIS, there's no reason to use the included Apache installation.
Apache isn't really an integral part of FMS, and IMO, really shouldn't be part of the FMS distribution. When FMS encounters an HTTP requests, it forwards that request to a port defined in fms.ini (8134 by default). If you need to support HTTP redirection from FMS, you could just as well use your existing IIS.
The only benefit I see in using the included apache installation is if you don't already have an httpd server running, and you want to serve both streaming and progressive video. Beyond that, I see no reason to use (or even install) Apache.

How do I track doc download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?

How do I track document download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?
I'm looking at downloading a zip file in response to the onclick event in a jQuery button. I'd like to show the download progress on the page.
I'm working with users who may not be Web savvy and need to know something is happening. Also, they may be on lower bandwidth connnections, so even a small zip file could take time to download.

Darn it, another senior moment.

How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?

Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

Progressive download. How to?

Hello!
I need to enable visitors to my web site view video and listen to audio files. I learned from some articles on the internet that there are two ways to achieve it:
1. Real time streaming
2. Progressive download
Are there any examples of progressive download in Java? If I understand it correctly use of JMF is not a very good approach in this case because visitors would need to have JRE and JMF installed on his machine before he can play media files and it is quite large amount to download and install. Is there a better/cost effective solution/approach to realize progressive download than JMF?
Thank you very much.

Yes, JRE is on most PCs nowdays but not in CIS
(former Soviet Union Countries). Aaah.. that was dumb of me. I had been lulled
into a 'false sense of security' by seeing my sister
buy computers for her kids recently, and they all
had Java pre-installed. I was not thinking of "legacy
and older PC's", sorry.
If JMF is used for Progressive Download are
there articles or tutorials, hints online on how
to implement it correctly? And on that matter, I will just add that I only
commented on the parts of your original
message about which I (thought I) knew
something. I had never heard of "progressive
download" before your post!
Perhaps other folks can help you more..

How do I force a re-download from I tunes store?

My application, Frog toss, for my I touch, is corrupt. It will not load. SO I unchecked the sync box and it removed it from my I touch.
Then when I restarted everything (I touch and computer) I re-checked the box.. Now it says the application file is not there.
And when I went to the I tunes store, it said I downloaded it, but it will not allow me to re-download it.
How can I force (make) it re-download it?
I tried a global search on my HD for the file and it got erased somehow..
Thanks.

Try deleting it from the iPod and then redownlng it to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
