How do I keep videos playing?

All videos including youtube and even iMac tutorials stop playing after about 2 seconds. This is a new problem. I know the tutorials don't run on the Adobe flash player but I upgraded that anyway. Delete cookies regularly.

How to add a video play list on palm pre

Does anybody knows how to add a video play list in palm pre?
I did try to add video in different folders but in the palm device are loaded in the same playlist. Is there a way to organize video files?
tks
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

QuickTime requires player and plugins that most people don't have. You'll reach a much wider audience if you use HTML5 <video> with mp4, webm and ogg files.

How do you keep videos from completely playing in a slideshow (like the photos)?

In iPhoto, you can make slideshows to show photos for only 5 or however long of a duration you'd like... but when a video shows up in the show, all the pictures (depending on if you choose certain themes) will stick around on the screen as the video plays (or if the video is the only element in the current slide, also the video will completely play).
My question is.. is there any way to have the videos play for the same duration you set for the photos? Like.. to have everything.. videos AND photos.. to only play for like 5 seconds etc.
I ask this because I want to show a really big album I have at a party with a slideshow, but because of all the video I take, when some videos are a bit longer (say like 2 to 3 mintues), it kinds disrupts the flow of the slideshow (as compared to just showing a short 5 second clip of the video like with the photos only being for 5 seconds as well.
Is this possible, or does anyone know a workaround solution? I'd really like the videos to be in the slideshow too, but just not the whole videos.
We are talking thousands of photos and maybe hundreds of videos, here. Nothing I'd want to edit individually. iPhoto seems perfect for this if it would just only play portions of my video library instead of the whole videos.

No. The videos will play for their entire length. Try trimming the video in iPhoto by playing it and use the gear icon to bring up the Trip feature:
You'll get this window where you can select the portion of the video to use:
When you're done you can "revert to original" like this:
That may give you what you need for the slideshow.

How can I keep tracks playing when I'm browsing?

There must be an obvious answer to this question, but I don't know what it is.
If I'm playing an album, but then start to browse somewhere else (as one would do if listening to a CD), the music will stop after the track has finished, and not go on to the next track. (because the tracks are no longer in the browser window)
How can I keep playing what I want, in the order that I want, while I am browsing other music?
Thanks

I find this to be a problem as well, especially since I know I was able to work with iTunes this way before I installed iTunes 7.3?
I'm reading some other posts which suggest that being able to play tracks from an library subset (genre, album, artist) AND browse other playlists at the same time was never a feature of iTunes.
Since I know I'm not imagining that I used to use iTunes quite happily, I'm wondering is there an option in 7.3 that I'm not paying attention to?
It seems crazy not to be able to do this.

How do I stop videos playing full screen on iPhone 5c?

Hi
I've recently purchased the iPhone 5C and I'm having trouble working out Safari and playing audios. When I click an audio (ie.. a radio programme on download) it immediately expands to full screen and I cannot find a way of going back to the safari screen. I have to keep the audio playing until the end and then it seems to switch back. I know there's probably something really simple I can do to stop videos and use Safari to browse something else, but for the life of me I can't work out what! help please!
Thanks
Alun

OK - so someone sent me a downloadable audio file on dropbox. I clicked "download" and it immediately opened safari and started playing full screen. I couldn't do anything to stop it playing or open a browser window to search. how do I stop this from happening? I can't use safari until the audio has completed and returned to a safari browser screen.

How do I keep movies playing as background through more than one slide?

I mainly use keynote for putting the words to songs up on the screen in church. I started using short motion backgrounds (regular video files), they look great but when I put them in the master, it restarts the movie for each new slide, so it starts and stops and looks real jumpy.
Is there any way to keep a movie looping through an entire slideshow and just get the text to change in front of it so that its real smooth?

It depends on how many slides you have, but one way to do it is to use builds to show and hide text boxes on a single slide. If you have the movie on the slide it will start to play when you first show that slide. If you build in the text box for the first song, then build it out with the next click, then build in the text box for the next song and build it out etc until you have done all your songs the movie will continue to play without skips.
With lots of text boxes sitting on top of each other you'll find it hard to do any editing so you'll need to have everything right before you start!

How do I keep video files on my Apple TV once I delete them from my iTunes?

I want to put some video files on my TV and then delete them from my iTunes and computer to free up some space. How do I continue to keep these files on the TV and still sync it with my iTunes?

racingclub wrote:
I do this all the time. I just delete the file from my PC, but leave the item in iTunes.
Works for me.
yes but you have no way of getting that content back off the appletv, and if you ever have to factory restore the appletv you will lose the content forever.

How to make imported video play on click?

We have imported our video into flash cs4 (we are using presentation mode to mimic a powerpoint presentation), we have gone into the component inspector and altered it so it doesn't autoplay. When it is on autoplay, it plays the audio throughout the entire presentation. We want the video to start on click (hit the spacebar or return or anything) but we cannot figure out how. Any suggestions?

The easiest thing to do is to create a skin (the bar with play, stop, etc.) for your video. And, when you are in Flash, there is an icon you can click on (with 3 shapes) that brings up a menu bar. The piece of information you want states: "autoplay: true". You should be able to click on this and change the setting to: "autoplay: false". After publishing and saving, remember to upload your Scripts folder, original swf file and "skins" swf file......and, all to the same directory (listing of web files); ie. don't let your skins swf be in a different folder than your original swf, etc.
If you use this process, you don't have to do any code editing in as (actionscript; as2 and as3 reference various versions of the actionscript language).
If you want to avoid any as editing, you'll have to create a skin. A button that appears on the first frame to play a clip, then is hidden after the clip begins would involve AS code editing.
If you're trying to hide the video, then show "onclick", you'll have to select an image or text, navigate to the insert "spry>spry tooltip" and replace the "Insert Spry Tooltip Content" text with your swf file (drag/drop).

Whenever I play a video the flash player logo shows and I have to click it first. How can I make videos play automatically?

Every time I go to play a video the F symbol appears and I have to click it each time to play the video. Alternatively I have to right click the page and go into "no script" and allow that particular page. This didnt use to happen until recently. Running windows vista Firefox 3.6.
thanks

If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
You need to check the (global) settings in NoScript to see how you can unblock Flash content.

How Smooth should Flash Video Play on 6Mbps DSL?

Hello,
I am noticing a lot of stuttering on my Flash videos viewed over the internet, Win 7 64bit and IE 8, Opera & Chrome.
Here is a link to some tests - http://watchmymvp.com/Encoding%20Test/EncodingTest.htm
Please give some feedback on your playback experience if you would!
Some background:
I am a video producer who shoots, edits, encodes and manages a few websites. I am very familiar with bitrates and encoding.
The videos I am seeing stuttering on are created from HD content and were encoded in Adobe Media Encoder at a bitrate from 775kbps down to 400kbps. When I play these through my 6meg DSL connection there is a constant random stutter like the video is stuggling with a low buffer. This happens even after the download bar shows the entire video is downloaded.
So am I expecting too much from Flash video? Will it always be an "internet" experience and not smooth?
When I double-click the .swf files in Windows Explorer they play just fine, very smooth.
The Flash player is the latest which was uninstalled and re-installed
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
So as a content creator, what can I do to improve the playback?
I have examples on that page that are at 400kbps and still stutter. I would think my 6meg connection could playback a 400kbps video?
Or might I have a problem with something on my end?
I need to figure this out as work needs to be put on client's websites.
Thanks for your insights.

Hello Vicente, thanks for your reply.
So the videos did not show stuttering when you watched them? Could I ask what your computer specs are? - Mac/PC, browser etc...
I get a random stutter which shows up more when there is camera movement.
I am trying to track down why this is happening when the .swf file played locally plays perfectly.
Since I an in the video industry, I would like these files to play as if they are on a television is that is possible.
Thanks for your input.

How do you keep videos on the ipod but off your hard drive?

When i tried to keep the videos off my hard drive but keep them on my ipod it deleted them off of my ipod also. is there any way i can just keep the videos on my ipod, but off my computers hard drive? thanks,
keith

you could simply add your movies to your ipod by syncing them. Adn then afterwards remove them adn manually manage your music on your ipod syncing with new music you want to add. Or another way is to burn your movies to a disc adn then whenever you want movies on your ipod then you can iport the movies from the disc to your harddrive and then sync your ipod and then manually manage your itunes adn sync of new music.
