Insert streaming flv bug - any workaround?

If inserting an flv and choosing Streaming Video, the Server URI field doesn't accept much of anything without throwing the foolowing error:
"Please enter valid server URI in the form of rtmp://myserver/myapp/myinstance"
In fact, the above "myserever" URI is the only one it accepts?!
I know I can code this by hand, but the reason for wanting to find a workaround for this bug and be able to use a VALID URI is that the auto-sensing of width/height is very handy.
Any ideas anyone?

Hi
As this works without problems for me, I can only suggest that you may have a 'bad' installation, or that you are doing something wrong. Have you tried following the info on inserting/preparing flv for streaming, at - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7c9 ea.html, or http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/learning_guide/video/.

.rotation on Video() only works on videos smaller than 5mb. Bug, any workarounds?

UPDATE: Found some reliable reproduction on my end.
Shorter videos tend to rotate just fine, longer videos tend to not rotate but become parallelograms. All on one build. Is there perhaps some metadata tags I need to add to my videos?
UPDATE: Found more reliable repro.
.mp4 files smaller than 5mb have no problem rotating, .mp4 files over 5mb do not rotate, they only skew.
Using standard netstream/netconnection/video setup for streaming video, any mp4 files over 5mb will not rotate when using video.rotation
Videos larger than 5mb skew by the number of degrees you specify, but not rotate.
Videos smaller than 5mb rotate by the number of degrees, and do not skew
100% reproducable on my end: Win 7 x64, Flash Pro CS6 (12.0.2.529), testing on PC and several android devices of varying make/model.
Questions:
-Is this air for android specific?
-Is there a workaround?
-Does this happen on screen rotate too? (It happens when rotating the entire swf, when rotating the parent, and when rotating the parent's parent.)
-Does this happen with older versions of Air for Android, and/or actionscript?
OLD THREAD:
This has been very problematic for me.
When I try to use video.rotation = 90; in code, rather than rotating the video 90 degrees, it disappears. But this only happens sometimes when I publish. I can make zero changes, clear publish cache, and sometimes it is broken like this, sometimes it isn't and works perfectly fine. I can't figure out what is changing to make it compile differently. I've tried in all render modes (publishing to Android, so: Direct, CPU, GPU, Auto) with no changes in this specific behavior.
I've tried putting the video inside of a movieclip, and rotating the movieclip only, and it still occurs.
I've tried directly copy/pasting another successfully rotating item's code to video, same problem still occurs.
I've tried re-ordering it, and putting rotation before and after x/y/w/h changes, removing x/y/w/h changes, same problem.
Restarting my computer usually fixes the problem for 1-2 solid publishes before it starts happening again.
The code is located towards the bottom of this post.
I've tried changing the rotation to 45, and I figured out how the video disappears, but not why. video rotation goes from rotating the whole video, to only moving the right-most points, and creates a parallelogram.
(Height and Width are pre-established variables, with values partaining to the overall container size, which is not always 768*432 ratio)
video.x = Width;
video.y=0;
video.width = Height;
video.height = video.width/768*432;
video.rotation=90;
Please tell me I am just missing something incredibly simple here, and that this is not a bug.

i don't see a problem testing on flash pro cs6 win 7 pro 64bit using an flvplayback component and a 964 MB mp4.

XML Export Bug - Any workarounds?

Before we go any further, I am running 5.0.3 and I HAVE created a bug report, but since I'm not expecting a new release (bug fix) in the next couple of days/weeks I was hoping the community here might have a workaround or know if there is something I am doing to cause this.
I'm creating a new project with DSLR 1080p/25 settings. I've also tried other 1080p/25 settings and it makes no difference.
I import lots of DSLR 1080p/25 footage (from Canon DSLRs) and several audio only files from a Zoom, recorded at 48Khz. All footage shows in the project correctly (1080p/25) and the footage shows at 48Khz. So far so good.
Drop the footage and audio on to a sequence and export to XML and send to PluralEyes.
Now, I've been using PluralEyes with FCP for a while and it's an excellent product - I really can't recommend it enough, and their tech support is also 1st class. So, with this in mind, it was rather odd that the version for Premiere Pro wasn't syncing as well as the FCP version. Following a few emails back and forth with Singular Software (PluralEyes) it turns out that some of the files (the audio files) are being exported to the XML file incorrectly. They are being exported with a rate of 29.97 and not 25. Not only is the frame rate incorrect, but the duration is set to match 29.97 and not 25.
Here are some extracts from the XML:
PPro Exported as :
<rate>
<timebase>30</timebase>
<ntsc>TRUE</ntsc>
</rate>
<duration>252824</duration>
<timecode>
Should have been:
<rate>
<timebase>25</timebase>
</rate>
<duration>210897</duration>
I am wondering if there is anything I could have done to cause this, maybe in the way I imported files or created projects / sequences etc, or if anyone knows of any work around to force PP to correctly interpret these files?

The Interpret Footage Option is disabled....

Pekwm dynamic menus bug - any workaround?

I've run into a pekwm bug that's present in both the version in [extra] and the git version, and is basically a showstopper: entries in dynamic menus, generated like this
Entry { Actions = "Dynamic /directory/to/script" }
become unselectable after the first time their parent menu is opened. In other words, each submenu of a dynamic menu can only be used once; after that the main menu must be closed and called again. This is a pretty big pain in the neck.
I've tried, as a workaround, creating a menu that would refresh only when pekwm gets reloaded, as is done in the default menu for virtual desktops:
Submenu = "Applications" { COMMAND = "/path/to/menu/generator" }
But that doesn't work; it simply doesn't produce a menu. How can I work around this obnoxious bug? Is there any way to get menu-refresh-on-reload working?

Ugliest bug: under some conditions app crashes when activated from push notification. Any workaround?

Hi,
I encountered the following serious bug.
Steps to reproduce:
- start the app which uses "Fast App Resume" mode
- block the phone.
- ensure the app is tombstoned. This can be done by using "Tombstone upon deactivation" VS option.
- send the toast notification to the app.
- Open the app from toast. >>>> the app either CRASHES or stays on the same page, without proper navigation. Both outcomes are unacceptable.
I created a test solution, which demonstrates this bug: https://db.tt/LyarfmDK
It contains two projects, both are nothing more than msdn samples with smallest modifications:
- fast app resume sample
- push notifications sample.
To reproduce:
- start fast app resume project under debug with "tombstone" option
- copy the push uri
- start the "send push" sample. Paste PUSH uri and send the push notification.
- tap on the notification ==>> either crash or no navigation.
Well, I believe this is a very serious issue and must be fixed ASAP.
Any workaround for now?

I downloaded your zip file and there are projects all over the place. If you want us to look into this, please label projects nicely, place them where I can figure out which one goes where, and then give me easy to follow instructions to reproduce
the problem.

Is there any workaround for Bug 6644652 ?

Hi
This issue is documented in DBAppTables GTC Connector at Known issues:
"Bug 6644652
Reconciliation of account deletion is not supported. In other words, if a record is
deleted from the target database, then this deletion is not reconciled into Oracle
Identity Manager"
Is there any workaround that can be used ?
Thank You in advanced,
Ionut

EHLO!
Today I ALMOST finalized my delete-recon (is for AD objects, but I think it may work in many contexts). As the pals said, you have to use the createDeleteReconciliationEvent method from the operations API.
I had a big problem: I spent a day looking for a NullPointerException that was raised just when this method is called. I realized that there is not a problem itself, the exception was raised because I was launching from the Eclipse project! So, instead of develop all the stuff and then pass it to OIM, I had to maje the jar, put it into the ScheduleTask folder, and execute it with the Task Scheduler from the Design Console, or from the Admin Console.
For a brief:
1) make a class that extends com.thortech.xl.scheduler.tasks.SchedulerBaseTask
2) implement the execute() method
3) for creating the operator, you can call (tcReconciliationOperationsIntf)getUtility("Thor.API.Operations.tcReconciliationOperationsIntf") (getUility is inherited from SchedulerBaseTask)
4) Make some Map object, with key/value pairs. Keys have to be the same as they appear in the Reconciliation Fields of the Resource Object, and at least you have to put the required ones. Call the method, the first parameter is a String with the RO ("Xellerate User", "AD User", "Exchange", etc).
For example, you can make something like this:
               HashMap hm = new HashMap();
               hm.put("User ID", "drldap");
               hm.put("objectGUID", "12345679");
               try {
                    reconOps.createDeleteReconciliationEvent("AD User", hm);
               catch(Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace(System.out);
Hope it was helpful. Enjoy!

Issue: Cannot preview FLV on any browser on Intel Based Mac (10.5.5)

Issue:
FLV file is not displayed on the browser when previewed.
Instead, the Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed. (Safari 3.1.2, Firefox
3.0.2)
How to reproduce:
When you insert a .FLV file on an HTML Doc.
(Insert>Media>FLV) and preview it on the browser
(File>Preview in Browser) then Clear_Skin_1.swf is displayed
instead of the FLV playing.
*note: going on live view within Dreamweaver CS4 plays the
video.
Environment:
Dreamweaver CS4
Mac OS 10.5.5
Safari 3.1.2
Firefox 3.0.2
***Actions i did so far***
1. I tried to export the site definition and import all the
files to the windows platform. (Scripts folder containing
expressInstall.swf and swfobject_modified.js which is automatically
generated in dwcs4, the HTML document with the flv file,
Clear_Skin_1.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf)
2. Previewing the same HTML doc in windows do not produce the
same problem which is happening on Mac. The FLV plays without any
problem.
3. Recreated Preference files and Configuration files but to
no avail. (Mac)
Anybody else getting this issue? Anyone has an Intel Based
Mac who can try to reproduce the issue on their end? Can this be a
possible bug? Conflict with the OS? Browser issue? Any response
will be appreciated.
Happy Holidays.
dis

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.6
and in just the past 2 weeks deployed almost a dozen FLV movies and
they all worked perfectly on the www in all browsers, so I don't
think it's related to your Mac, OSX, or browser, and I don't
believe it's a bug of any kind since it's not recreated for all
people.
I know that's not much help, but at least you can eliminate
all of those things. Make sure you've uploaded all of the files
required for the movies, and you are using the best coding
practices for enconding FLV videos and adding to pages. Let's take
a closer look at an example of code used for FLVs:
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="218"
height="159" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />

<param name="expressinstall"
value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" width="218" height="159">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Clear_Skin_2&streamName=movies/CEO_vid eo&autoPlay=false&autoRewind=true"
/>
<param name="swfversion" value="8,0,0,0" />
<param name="expressinstall"
value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of
Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><a href="
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img
src="
http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif"
alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
</div>

</object>

</object>
Note in this example, there are many more include files
needed than just the clear skin swf. FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
expressInstall.swf, and also the stream name of the movie which
tells it where to find the movie. Point I'm getting at, be sure to
double check everything to make sure you have included everything,
and they are all where they are suppose to be. I think that should
solve the problem for you.

Swf insert streaming video

Per adobe connect instruction http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402630.html
I should be able to play the streaming flv video embedded in swf object.
Followed exactly on the instrution and the swf streaming video didin't run in presenter after publish.
I created swf in flash CS3 and i able to view the preview of the video but inserted in presenter as swf didn't run.
Any advice? i have large video that i need to embedded into presenter slide.
thx

Not sure why but it sounds like there might be something going wrong when you are creating the SWF. There are a lot settings that need to be correct to Flash.
You can easily just publish the SWF in Adobe Connect directly. That is what I do. I do not think it is best to embed a large video inside Powerpoint. I think it is better from a presentation point of view to have your Presenter course but have the video shared as a separate pod in your room. That way the two are independent. It's more efficient as well since your Powerpoint doesn't become huge in size. You can publish SWF and FLV video natively using the share document pod.

Looping a streaming flv movie, but loop to halfway through flv

Hello,
I've managed to loop my progressively streaming flv with both the following approaches (both gained from these forums - so thank you very much!)
Giving my FLV an instance name of "vid" and then adding this to an Action layer:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
vid.play();
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
Or simply attaching the following to the FLV itself:
on (complete){
this.autoRewind=true;
this.play();
However, what I really want to do is have it loop back to a point, say, 5 seconds into the flv. I've tried gotoAndPlay instead of just play, but of course the swf only has the one frame so I don't think frame numbers are the way forward? I've been seeing "cuepoints" and "NetStream" coming up in various searches I've done - is that the way forward? They both seem quite complicated for something that I've almost solved using either of the above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

If it's scripted to be initially paused, you can simply
position it in
the score to be off stage, insert a key frame at the frame
were position
moves to display location.

Problem playing streaming FLV

Hi ppl,
I'm trying to play streaming FLV files using FLVPlayback
component.
Some of those FLV files have different resolution. When the
FLVPlayback property "maintainAspectRatio" is set to "true", it
runs correctly, but, sometimes, with some black bars or spaces on
the right because the component resized it and let the same aspect
ratio.
When I set that property to "false", the FLV video fits
exactly the size of the component area, but when I click to change
to next video, it fails, the component doesn't play the next video
=\
I searched and found that was a bug of the FLVplayback
component, so I updated it and didn't resolve..
Any suggestion?
Thanks...

I think you need to create a Video object, drag it to the
stage, set its dimensions, give it a name (try "theVideo") and then
in actionscript, prior to _ns.play(), run this:
theVideo.attachVideo(_ns);
Then call _ns.play(). See if that helps!

ORACLE treats empty Strings as NULL, Any workaround?

Hi,
ORACLE treats empty Strings as NULL.
I am writing, rather modifying Java code to make it work with both SQLServer and Oracle. Since our code is already working for SQLServer, now I have the problem in porting to Oracle wherever I have empty strings. I used to insert empty strings into coulumns in SQLServers, the same SQLs give errors in SQL Server.
Any workaround on the DB end or in JDBC for this?
Thanks in advance,
Suresh

I'm wondering what's the best approach in order to avoid to change all my application isolating this behavior somewhere (wrapping the jdbc driver for instance).That doesn't make much sense to me. You should already have a database layer. You change the database layer. If you don't have a database layer then that means you have another design flaw.

Streaming .flv cue point problem

I’ve been working with Flash video with synced slide
presentations since February, which have been exclusively download
streaming, all based on the presentation available at the adobe web
site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/vidtemplate_corppreso.html
My issue has come up when using this template with streaming
flv’s, the buttons that I use to reference the cue points in
the video and slides on the timeline do not work reliably;
sometimes they will shuttle the video and slides to the correct
point, usually they move the slides on timeline to the appropriate
spot and the video jumps back to the beginning. Besides this
sizable problem, the presentation plays the way it is supposed to.
Is there a setting in the component inspector that I’m
missing? Should I re-encode the video with Navigation cue points?
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any workaround for log LNs in read-only env. UNEXPECTED_STATE

I'm at 5.0.43 and encounter the same problem mentioned in The Berkeley DB Java Edition Package: BDB JE Library Version 11.2.5.0 (Release 5.0.55) Change Log
Fixed a bug that caused an exception such as the following, when opening an Environment in read-only mode. This occurred under certain circumstances when a clean shutdown (final checkpoint) was not performed when the Environment was last used by a read-write process.
I have below 2 questions:
1) I want to know if there's any workaround to this problem without having to upgrade BDB-JE.
2) Just want to make sure we will not have data compatible issue if we have to upgrade to the latest version
Thanks for your help.

This is a transient problem when opening in read-only mode. It does not cause corruption or a compatibility issue.
If you open the environment read-write and perform a normal shutdown (Environment.close), then it should be possible to open the environment read-only again.
However, it is possible that it could happen again if the read-write process exits without calling Environment.close. The only way to guarantee it won't happen again is to always call Environment.close in the read-write process before opening it read-only, or upgrade to the latest version of JE 5.

Any workarounds for the X11 apps segmentation faults on intel with 10.4.8 ?

Hi,
We've an X11 application, compiled for PPC, which runs fine with a G5 iMac on 10.4.8. However, it crashes with a segmentation fault on a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 (running through Rosetta).
Searching the web, we found that this seems to be a widespread problem for X11 apps running on Intel Macs with 10.4.8.
Has this been submitted as an important bug to Apple?
Are there any workarounds for it?
Is the problem specific to PPC-only builds, or does it also happen with Universal builds?
Thank you for any hints you could give about this,
cesar
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A powerpc-binary program running under Rosetta can only load powerpc-binary modules...can't cross in and out of emulation within a single process. Perhaps your program is trying to load a module from X11 that is present as an intel-only binary? Rosetta is certainly no future-looking cure-all, just a stop-gap to allow one to keep using older stuff, and it is kinda fragile sometimes. If your target audience is both powerpc and intel machines, compile as a universal binary so it's native for everyone.

Using Insert Media Flv but videos takes ages to appear. Why? How to speed up loading on page?

Hi, I used to used a freeware video player but DW CS5 kept giving me error messages about it so I changed all my videos over by usng the insert>video>flv menu . However, now the videos all take anwhere from 4-10 seconds to actually appear on the web page - and they are not big files. I have placed an example here:
http://www.enhanced-learning.net/test3/test.html
I definitely have the players and scripts folders also uploaded. With my old player the video would appear on the page instantly - any idea why it takes so long with CS5 or have I done something wrong? I'd love to see any examples of embedded videos other people have done too. Thanks

Thanks, I appreciate the quick response. I think you are right and it was aserver issue. After weeks of the videos not even appearing, suddenly
they are now all working just like you said. Grrr!!!
