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 ?
Regards,
Kobi Shalom

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.

HTTP Progressive Download or HTTPStreamingNetLoader

I have a video is returning true for getTrait(MediaTraitType.SEEK) but false for canSeekTo(sharedCurrentTime).
Must this mean that I am using "HTTP Progressive Download' - please correct me if I am wrong.
If I have a HTTP video that I want to 'seek' to any part of ( once the seek trait is true ) then I should
be using HTTPStreamingNetLoader? Am I right on that last point - I know its a 10.1 feature only.
regards

The canSeekTo method can return false (even when the SeekTrait is present) if the value passed-in is for a portion of the video which can't be played yet, e.g. if you tried to seek to part of a progressive video that hadn't downloaded yet. It's unlikely you'd be using HTTP streaming without knowing about it, since you'd need to be in the Zeri prerelease program and working with an HTTP streaming server (or CDN).

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!

Flash video Progressive Download Performance

I've rendered a series of Flash Video movies selecting the
HIGH Quality, Progressive Download settings.
Even with a cable modem connection speed of 8 Mbps, these
movies choke badly on playback.
http://www.reikoproductions.com/
I don't imagine the SWF publish settings have anything to do
with this, but I have them set to JPEG Quality 100, and the
Compress Movie checkbox is UNCHECKED.
I am presently rendering a set of movies at MEDIUM Quality
settings, but I'd like to know why these movies choke like this,
with this fast of a connection. I don't know much about the web
hosting server these are posted on, but could it be a slow server?
Something in the HTML code I've missed?
Thanks!

This is an incorrect question. Length itself (duration) does
not
matter. Only bitrate does. Check your video bitrate and
evaluate your
channel bandwidth.
Progressive download has two big disadvantages against
streaming:
- it takes all available channel bandwidth regardless to the
video
bitrate. It may cause problems at the client side;
- it does not allow quick navidation across the video unless
it will
be completely downloaded to the user's computer.
If you'd like to avoid such problems and you have a
webhosting with
PHP (or like that), then you could try to use so called HTTP
Streaming, which resolves both of these issues without
special server
usage. You can find some information here:

Skip to a point in progressive download mp3 before downloaded

Is it possible these days to skip to a point within a progressive download mp3, before this point has preloaded, similar to what i'm seeing with video players such as youtube? in the past, i've used FMS to achieve this, was wondering how people achieved this without using a streaming server.

Actually i think my questions are answered here: http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/pseudostreaming.html
It's talking about movies but i assume the same applies for mp3s. Thanks peoples!

Problems with infinite/jumping buffering using Strobe MP with progressive download MP4

Hello,
I am fighting with the Strobe Media Player and an MP4 video that it is supposed to load and play with progressive download.
The video is playing perfectly fine, except if it needs to buffer somewhere on the middle (the first "buffering" works correctly). If it happens, either it will stay buffering forever - but the buffer bar keeps filling up -, or after several seconds it will jump the video some seconds ahead, and start buffering again, repeating this until the end.
I have tried a lot of different scenarios, with different options on the buffer settings of Strobe, and different encodings on the video, without results.
The video can be seen here: http://www.webfuel.pt . It's currently encoded for 750 kb/s, using VBR 2 pass, web optimized.
I am testing using a bandwidth limiter (Service Capture), and limiting to around 200 kb/s. When the video reaches the buffer, the problem happens.
What can be the cause of the problem? A setting on Strobe? The video encoding? HTTP server configuration? A bug on Strobe?
By the way, just a fast question. For the current use case (the video you saw on the site, autoplaying), which bitrate would you consider acceptable? And considering the purpose is Web/Progressive downloaded is it recommended the use of VBR, or should I use CBR? Is there anything more relevant when encoding a video to be deployed on the web?
Thank you,
João Saleiro

We have solved the problem by creating our own video player and applying the technique described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1079935/actionscript-netstream-stutters-after-buffering
In another words, when the buffer gets empty, we pause the player, and we create an eventlistener that checks when the buffer is full to resume the playing. The result can be seen our site.
This is, IMHO a big problem in the Strobe Media Player that made us loose around 2 days researching, and can be easily solved with the above technique.

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?
Horsepower0171.

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!

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.

Flash Video Progressive Download

I would like to us a flash video in a web page, and don't
want to use streaming. If I use the Flash Video Encoder to make a
medium quality video that is about six minutes long, will
progressive download work okay, or is it too long to work without
problems? If this is too long, what would be a good maximum length
to use?

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.

AS2 isLive for progressive download issues

Hey having some trouble with my FLV playback video player. I am working with Flash Professional CS5.5 Actionscript 2 and have a video player that uses progressive download. My issue started when it would not consistently recognise the "complete" event listener.
After looking into many solutions I've found some strange issues. Firstly when isLive is false the video won't play until it has finished downloading. However when isLive is true it will play the video while it is downloading, but the seekPercent() won't work unless the video is fully cached. Also while isLive is true the complete event listener doesn't seem to work consistently. What I don't understand is why isLive is affecting progressive download when it should not be applicable to HTTP download.
What also seems to be strange is this only happens in a web browser (Firefox, Chrome, and IE), when viewing from inside Flash's test view (CTRL Enter) or publishing to an exe it plays fine. Another weird issue is my older backup video files work fine in a browser. When I re-export the swf it no longer works the same way. Has anybody encountered this before or know a good workaround?
Thanks Ryan

Thanks for your assistance so far. Unfortuantley isLive is having some affects on my progressive download video. To be absolutely certain I created a new flash file with new flvplayback component. For the contentPath I set a link to my remote flv file, there is nothing special here it is sitting in a public directory on a dedicated server.
When isLive is false, I hit play while the video starts downloading but it won't play until the video has fully downloaded. When isLive is true, the video plays while downloading but the seek bar does not work. Both tests were using the ClearOverAll.swf skin. It is definitely progressive download because they are caching.
I think there is something wrong with the flash export compiler because I never had this issue on my older video player versions.

Deactivate progressive download in Adobe Flash Player

Concerning progressive download in Adobe Flash Player, I have these questions:
1) Is it possible to deactivate or disable progressive download in Adobe Flash Player? For instance, if I want to watch a 30 minute video on a video site, and I have Adobe Flash Player installed, then by clicking on the video link, Adobe Flash Player will automatically begin to progressively download the file, thus enabling me to watch the video while it is being downloaded. At the end of the download, the entire 30 minute video file is stored in a temporary folder on my computer's hard disc. Supposing I don't want that file to be fully downloaded unto my harddisk, what options do I have to prevent Adobe Flash Player from progressively downloading the said file?
2) Since Adobe Flash Player utilizes progressive downloads, what happens to the downloaded file? Will it be automatically deleted when the browser is closed, or will it remain in the temporary folder?
3) Are there any settings which I can to configure either on the operating system or in the browser which will prevent or deactivate progressive download?
Thanks very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Jack

What are local storage settings?
Applications that run in Adobe Flash Player may want to store some information on your computer, but the amount they can store is limited to 100 kilobytes unless you agree to allocate additional space. Local storage settings let you specify how much disk space, if any, applications from a particular website can use to store information on your computer. Note that it is the person or company that has created the application you are using that is requesting such access, not Adobe (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information). In the dialog box shown above, [website] represents the name of the person or company requesting access. It is the responsibility of the person or company requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information they save. You should be aware of the privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access to your computer. For example, see Adobe's privacy policy. Contact the website requesting access for information on their privacy policy.
It's important to understand that even though this settings panel is part of Flash Player, the information will be used by an application created by a third party. Adobe assumes no responsibility for third-party privacy policies, actions of third-party companies in storing information on your computer, or such companies' use of such data or information.
What kind of data can an application that runs in Flash Player store on my computer?
The kind of information stored depends on the application. Information can be anything from your user name to your current score in an interactive game to a list of stocks in your portfolio. The application should make it clear what kind of information it wants to store.
Who has access to the information?
This information may be accessed by an application that is currently running in Flash Player or by another application that runs in Flash Player on the same website. Adobe does not have access to this information (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information).
As discussed in What are local storage settings? above, it is the responsibility of the website requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information. For example, will it be available only to you, or will it be posted in a public place? Who will have access to it in the future? Will it be deleted after a certain period of time? The privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access should address these sorts of issues.
I've already set privacy and disk space options in my browser. How do these settings interact with my Flash Player settings?
You may be aware that some websites work together with your browser to store small amounts of data, called cookies, on your computer for their own use in the future. For example, when you go to a website regularly, it may welcome you by name; your name is probably stored in a cookie, and you can use browser options to determine whether you want cookies or not. You may also have specified in your browser that pages you visit can take up only a certain amount of disk space.
When SWF or FLV content is being played, the settings you select for Flash Player are used in place of options you may have set in your browser. That is, even if you have specified in your browser settings that you do not want cookies placed on your computer, you may be asked if an application that runs in Flash Player can store information. This happens because the information stored by Flash Player is not the same as a cookie; it is used only by the application that runs in Flash Player, and has no relation to any other Internet privacy or security settings you may have set in your browser.
Similarly, the amount of disk space you let the application that runs in Flash Player use has no relation to the amount of disk space you have allotted for stored pages in your browser. That is, when SWF or FLV content is being played, the amount of disk space you allow here is in addition to any space your browser is using for stored pages.
No matter how you may have configured your browser, you still have the option to allow or deny an application that runs in Flash Player permission to store the information, and to specify how much disk space the stored information can occupy, as discussed in the rest of this document.
What are my local storage options?
If you don't want to let applications from this website save any information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never. Note that applications from other websites may later ask to store information on your computer. If you don't want applications from any website that you haven't yet visited to store information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, use the Global Storage Settings panel.
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but you want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each application, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application from this website wants to save information on your computer, you will see a question asking for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from this website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will see a question asking for more disk space while the application is running.
If an application from this website has already saved some information on your computer and you select a value that is lower than the amount of information already stored, Flash Player informs you that any information that has already been saved will be deleted.
If you don't want existing information to be deleted, click Cancel to return to the Local Storage Settings panel, and then select a higher value. Otherwise, click OK to delete the information and return to the application.
How can I change my local storage settings?
You may want to change your local storage settings if, for example, you want to allot more space for information from this website. To display the Local Storage Settings panel:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is running.
From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.
You can also change storage settings directly with your browser here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l

Cancel progressive download with FLVPlayback

I have created a SWF file with three main sections. Each section has at least one video that is viewed using the FLVPlayback component. In order to reduce bandwidth, and unnecessary processes in general, I want the videos only to load if the user is currently viewing that section.
The first part is simple enough – only call the source method for the FLVPlayback until the video is needed. Great, works fine. However, problems arise in cancelling the download.
I have searched the Adobe documentation, and it seems almost impossible to stop a progressive download using FLVPlayback. (To be honest, I am using FLVPlayback simply so I don’t have to build my own player. It’s a whole other level of complexity that I simply do not want to get into unless ABSOLUTELY needed.)
The Adobe methods that actually stop streams (closeVideoPlayer(), etc.) render the FLVPlayback instance useless once called. I was looking for a way to stop a download AND be able to use the FLVPlayback instance again.
So, I did some searching a came across the following script:
http://pastie.org/310174
To test it, I created a simple file (the AS is below) with only an FLVPlayback component and a button on the stage. The button is connected to a function that clears the video and then resets the FLVPlayback instance to play the file again.
Everything works (play, pause, volume, etc.) EXCEPT that after button has been clicked and the reset function has been called, clicking the component’s stop button “breaks” the player. The seekbar displays its streaming mode and clicking on any other button inside the player does nothing. (I could not recreate the problem in the Flash IDE (imagine that!), but it persistently appears when testing in a browser.)
Being relatively new to AS, I really have no idea what is “under the hood” in the FLVPlaybackUtils class file. What can I do to correct this problem? Is there a better way to go about this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                myFLVPlayback.source = "http://myFLVPlayback.url.example";

As always, thanks for your help.
I realized that as long as I retain an "empty" video player (one without a specified source) as the default player, I can add and delete other video players at will without "losing" the information associated with the parent FLVPlayback component. So, in this particular case, there is no need re-instantiate.
closeVideoPlayer( ) works great for the rest.
Thanks, again.
