Ios 8 Video Scrubbing

Running IOS 8.1. I have an issue when using safari. When a video plays, you cant see how much of the video has loaded. There no longer is a scrubbing bar. Once the video has reached the point of where it hasn't loaded to, the video is set into a loop. It will loop the last couple of seconds and never resume playing the video. This happens with all different sites. The frame freezes and never resumes. I end up having to stop the video and try restarting from the point that it stopped at. This is the most frustrating update on IOS 8. This needs to be fixed immediately.

I Believe it's an iOS 8 problem. Didn't have that in iOS 7. It's super annoying. maybe apple is trying to help the service provider earn more money. Cause like in Singapore we only have 4gb data contract. So without the loading bar, u would think that the video is fully downloaded and play video. And u start using more data. Also another big problem, if u use safari, and u tab a link and go to another tab, when u return to the tab, it will refresh. What I notice, comparing previous safari settings, there was a cache but with iOS 8 safari did without the cache, so that u will need to refresh and use more data. this in turn would use alot more data thus helping service provider make more money. Starting to make me hate iphone. apple better fix it soon... It's starting to annoy me and i hope it starts to annoy everyone so that our voice could make a difference.

  • Video Scrubbing in 5.1.4

    Hi All!
    I recently set up a Mac Pro, fully loaded with fast drives (4 internal 750GB sata drives + 2TB external fiber array) and plenty of Ram (4GB) and a Kona 3 card for a client of mine. Everything is working great - realtime playback of 720p footage at 60fps, fast renders, etc... Everything except for one tiny issue:
    Video scrubbing.
    When the client scrubs through the clips in the timeline it is a crap-shoot as to whether or not the canvas will show the video scrubbing. Half the time, approximately, it works - and then it doesn't work the other half of the time. I've never quite had a problem like this. The problem occurs independently of the resolution, framerate, or rendered status of the footage.
    Anyone else had this issue? Have a solution? I'd love to get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks!
    - Nick

    Hey All - Thanks for all the input, I'll be headed back to the client location to check out his setup on Monday and try out some of your suggestions. Just to rule some things out, the video is set to 100% magnification and it's not bigger than the canvas window, so I don't think that's the issue. There are no overlapping windows, I've set up a few custom window arrangements and they're all pretty basic. The client has two 23" displays, and one of them is just used primarily for the Canvas, the others are used for the timline, viewer and file browser. The client is very good about using window arrangements I've set up for him and the one time he showed the issue to me in person I can say for sure there was no overlapping. Also, I ran all available updates to the OS and software, but I don't think that AJA has released a new driver since FCP 5.1.4 came out - I'll check. I think the most likely candidate is the high quality scrubbing, I'll play arounf with that on Monday.
    Thanks for the great input everyone,
    - Nick

  • Using the native iOS video player?

    I would like to learn more about using the iOS native video player in my Adobe Air app.
    I understand that you can launch the native iOS video player by using StageWebView.
    What are some of the limitations of using the native IOS player with this method?
    Can I not limit the user's control of the playback controls so the user cannot fastforward thru an ad video?
    Once the video is done, can I auto start to a new video?
    When the user clicks the DONE/BACK button, can I close the StageWebView?
    Are there other ways to launch the iOS native player instead of using StageWebView?
    Is anyone creating a Native Extension for the iOS native video player?
    If you were to create an app using native iOS code instead of Adobe AIR, what can you do with the native player that you can't control using Adobe Air?
    thanks!
    Jack

    Hi, Jack:
    My answers are based on what I have done:
    other than stageWebView, you can load native player from native UIWebview, and probably (I guess) directly open a video players.
    If you do it from UIWebview, you can have the full access control of the video player, and interaction between Flex and Objective-c is also supported.
    Regarding what we can do with the native player, I say we can do anything we want if it's loaded on the UIWebview.
    Let's say 'pause', you can make your native player to be paused in the flex code, besides directly click the pause button. The simple workflow is:
    Mapping 'pause' function to a objective-c function which triggers the native videoplayer pause function. One situation would be that you have HTML5 page only contains a video player, and java script functions to control the video (player pause, fullscreen etc).
    Therefore, you can just call those javascript functions from objective-c.
    You can also get information back from objective-c. Let's say you wanna do something after the video is finished, so the objective-c call javascript to listen end info of the video. then objective-c pass this information back to flex as an event. The Flex side catches this event and maps this event into Flex event for your use.
    If there is a way to direcly invoke native player, those steps above will be much simpler, but I haven't tried. I am sure someone is doing that, hopefully they can answer you here.

    Matthew

  • Video Scrubbing Issues

    I'm just wondering if anyone is experiencing issues with scrubbing through videos in iOS5. It doesn't work most of the time and it seems to want to pull down the notification center when I scrub back and forth. Seems to happen in both portrait and landscape though it's a lot more finicky in landscape. Maybe I just have fat fingers, but it's pretty much made it impossible to scrub through videos for me. Also, the bar disappears after I'm scrubbing for a few seconds. It lets me continue scrubbing, but I don't know exactly where I am since the bar disappears.

    I have the same problem. I'm not sure yet, but It seems to help if you use your fingernail or press quickly with your finger perpendicular to the screen (or nearly so). But I don't have the problem where the bar disappears after a few seconds. But I have iOS 5.0.1.
    So you and I and a friend of mine are the only ones who find the scrubbing control for video a lot harder to activate? And then there's the battery-drain issue. And you can't downgrade! And performance took a hit (not a biggie though, as video plays fine -- just rotating and switching and stuff sometimes sticks).
    Shopping for a smartphone now. I'll not be getting an iPhone.
    Can anyone out there help us?
    Bonus gripe: The search function for Apple discussion boards is bizarre. Why does it search everything when you've already focused on a particular board? You have to narrow down your search by re-running it and re-selecting the "community" you want. Illogical -- sort of.

  • Air update, now video scrubbing has stopped working?

    Well ok, not exactly sure what's happened here, myself but... the main issue is this: I believe that since I did the most recent air update, video seeks no longer work while the video is paused.  Basically meaning, I can't scrub through a video any more.  No compiler errors, works fine in the flash environment, just stopped working (immediately after an adobe update) when running the actual air app.
    Details if you want 'em: I write somewhat large video apps where I work, and to help some of the others there, I've written some air apps that let them scrub through the videos, etc.  I'm quite certain it happened right after an air update, 'cause I was using one of the apps myself just fine, when an adobe update window appeared.  Pretty sure it was air.  Anyway, I let it do it.  Then when I went back to work, I could no longer scrub.  Tried re-installing air, but no go.  Then tried recompiling, but still nothing.  Oddly, like I said, I don't get compiler errors, and it works in the flash environment when I test movie.  Just won't work on the external air app.  Basically, I'm doing this:
    click on scrubber
       pause movie
       start scrubber drag
    while dragging scrubber
       seek to location based on scrubber position
    release scrubber
       stop scrubber drag
       resume movie
    When i release the scrubber, the movie will resume from the proper new location based on the final scrubber position, but the movie just sits frozen during the scrubbing process, so you can't see where you are in the movie while scrubbing.  I can display other stuff, like the scrubber position.  but the video just won't seek.  worked until the second I got that update.
    Anyway, been searching but havn't seen anyone else complaining about this.  Maybe air's not as popular as I wish it was.  It's even possible that my feeble old brain missed something and this is a windows 7 thing, but I'm quite certain I was using it and it was fine the instant it broke, 'cause that update window appeared and made me shut my app down to do the update.  Tried rolling back to a previous version of air, but that doesn't seem possible.  Thanks to anyone who has any ideas about this.

    I had the same problem(I couldn´t see myself neither the other person, but the other person could see me).
    I have solved it doing this:
    Log into your Gmail account > Settings > Labs. Enable Video Chat Enhancement lab. Save change. Restart Gmail. Test video.
    And now I can see myself and the other person.

  • AIR iOS Video Object draw

    Hi,
    Maybe this is a stupid question.
    I'm having some trouble tryng to draw a Video Object into a BitmapData in AIR (iOS), I always though that the security error exceptions were never applied to AIR.
    I have a .flv inside a folder in the app, when I try to draw the video I get the classic Exception fault: SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw.
    Any thoughts?
    Luis

    Okay, I've done more research, so I'll answer my own question.
    Yes, it's definitely possible to play video from a server on iOS.
    This page contains code that works:
    http://www.overdigital.com/2012/01/14/720p-video-on-ipad-and-android-tablets-with-adobe-ai r/
    That is, it works properly with the author's video, but not with mine.     
    At first I thought that it wasn't working at all with my video, but then I happened to change the iPad's orientation, and the video appeared.
    This problem has also been noted here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5712904#5712904
    It's interesting that the example video for the above article doesn't do this....
    Could it be that I'm not encoding the video correctly?
    I'm using the Adobe Media Encoder to encode the video.
    The preset I'm using is:
    Apple TV, iPad, iPhone 4 and newer - 720p 23.976
    I'm choosing this based on the name of the file used by the above working example, which is "Hillman_720p23.976_2400kbps.mp4"
    It seems to me that this would obviously be correct. I have a feeling that there's something really simple that I'm missing. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • IOs video conferencing

    Is it possible to create a video conferencing application using Adobe Air / Flex for iPhone and iPad ? There is a sample code available on the net on how to do this on Android. Does this works for iOs too ?

    Yes its possible.
    Adobe® Flash® Media Server is a real-time media server that delivers adaptive bit rate video on demand (vod) and live video to Adobe® Flash® Player, Adobe® AIR™, Adobe® Flash® Lite™, Apple® iOS, and Mac OS®

  • Director 12 iOS Video?

    Okay, so far I have been unsucessful in getting video to play, I've tried MP4 and QuickTime video, to no avail.  I have embedded the xtras for each, didn't help.  Am I missing something obvious?  I haven't tried putting video into flash and then importing that, because it just seems like an extra layer of slowness.
    Also, to the point of Xtras, I'm embedding the Mac extras, but aren't Mac xtras written to the Intel chipset?  iOS devices aren't intel based, so wouldn't they need their own xtras compiled for ARM?  Perhaps this explains why I haven't had any sucess so far.  If so are you telling me Adobe released Director 12 without the ability to play the arguably most important media type on iOS devices.  That would be a pretty shocking oversight.

    Hi Daniel,
    I used flash cs3 Pro
    steps involved were:
    create new as2 document
    set document width, height and frame rate appropriate to the video file you are converting
    select file>import>import to stage
    select your video file from the os file dialog
    in the import video wizard click next
    select embed video in swf and play in the timeline
    click next
    In the embedding step
    symbol type as embedded video
    audio track as integrated
    left checked place instance on stage
    expand timeline if needed
    embed the entire video (up to you really)
    click next
    In the encoding stage
    I ignored the profile tab and clicked on video tab
    on the video codec select Sorenson Spark from the dropdown
    the rest of the setting here are dependant on your video requirements
    on the audio tab I  selected 160 kbs as my desired bitrate
    Crop and resize are again dependant on what you want from your file
    click next
    click finish
    When the encode is finished I published my swf as flash player 8 (not sure if this matters much)
    In director I then simply import the swf (standard import), placed as a single span sprite on the score and added a go  to the frame script in the frame script channel, then published to test on IOS
    Hope this helps

  • Capturing iOS video for trailers?

    Hi all, this didn't seem to be covered here (maybe I missed it). Just wondering about the best way to capture game/app footage from an iOS app to be used for trailers/promo use? The best way I can figure out is to do an Xcode build and use something like Snapz Pro X on my Mac desktop.
    Any other solutions out there? Thanks!

    That will work if you don't mind using the simulator and PhoneFinger.
    You might try iSimulate which has worked for me in the past and you can always do what the pros do and point a video camera at the screen on the device. Apple uses an overhead camera for tech lectures, etc.

  • Audio/Video Scrubbing in FCP 7

    I'm having an issue with video/audio scrubbing in Final Cut 7. When playing a clip fast it jumps/skips rather than scrubbing smoothly making it hard to understand what they are saying. However, it only does this with clips that were captured from P2 Cards. Clips captured from miniDV tape scrub normally. Is anybody else having this issue and what can be done if anything?

    I think you're right about asking where the files are stored. DV is actually pretty compressed, so although the files are not that large (relative to less compressed video such as 10 bit or HD or worse, 10 bit HD) the processors are working hard to decompress the DV so it can be understood.
    This places not much strain on the drive speed (accessing the clips from the scratch drive) and more stress on the processors. Less compressed video such as Apple ProRes 422 places the strain the other way around - easier on the processors, because there is less decompressing to do, but harder on the drive system (more difficult to move extremely large files quickly. That's why it's nice to have an external RAID - so.... that's why I think Studio X is wise to ask you more about what type of files (codec/compression) and where are they stored.
    Because if they're HD files that are, say H.264 (to make the worst scenario), then they're large files with major compression - and in the case of H.264, the worst codec for editing in FCP) and they're difficult to move quickly; BIG strain on the drive, BIG BIG strain on the processor(s). A less dramatic example would be ProRes (LT) - still compressed but not awfully, so a partial strain on the processor(s) but not unthinkable, and yet still a considerable strain on a drive.
    All of the above is why workflow in HD is pretty important and why in many cases original HD media is often converted to a less compressed format before proceeding with the edit. Also why many editing systems use RAID systems with ample throughput such as Firewire 800 at the least, eSATA, or better yet, SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) - so tell us more about your setup. Thanks, Stephen

  • 3.1.2 Video Scrubbing Crash

    Ok, let's start with the oddities of my update. I have a 1st gen iPod Touch. So last night I did "Download Only" for the 3.1.2 update. While that was downloading, I pressed "Sync" to update a couple app updates, transfer purchases, and grab a few photos I hadn't synced. Near the end, it popped up a series of dialogs "Could not complete sync, a file is missing" or something like that.
    I checked the ipod it seemed fine. The new photos were there and everything. So I update to 3.1.2. At the end, it says "This ipod was proviosly synced, what do you want to do?" and I had to restore it from the most recent backup (that it made when I ran the above sync).
    It restored, and everything seemed fine. But the sync as it always does, forgot where I was in the middle of some videos I hadn't finished watching.
    When I try to fast forward.... or "Scrub" .. I don't see the little silver knob highlight, it skips forward and displays a single frame from later in the video, and instantly crashes back to the home screen. I tried it on a number of videos, same result. I tried rebooting, no joy.
    Anyone else experience this, or have any ideas of what I can try?
    Thanks!

    Figured out a workaround. I deleted all the movies off the iPod, and re-transferred them. Now scrubbing works fine.

  • Video scrubbing on 5gen ipod...

    Just got my ipod yesterday- 30 gig black- i've already put some movies on it but was disappointed by the sluggish scrubbing controls in the video feature. It goes sooo slow, almost the same speed as real time. Trying to skip to halfway in a 70 min movie file would take literally half an hour. do we need to tell apple to bump up the scrubbing speed? i also own an archos gmini and when you scrub it starts out slow and gets faster- i tried this on the ipod with no success. i guess my question is, is it just my video file, or does this happen with everyone?

    No problem. This is my fist iPod also. (Only got it for the video option as I don't normally "carry my music around with me.") Had it since Friday evening and have been "playing with it" almost non-stop since then
    btw do you know if there is an automatatic resume function?
    Yes there is. Simply press the pause (bottom) button on the wheel. If you then repeatedly press the menu (top) button and navigate back to the top level menu, you will find a new option add to the list -- "Now Playing." Selecting this option and pressing the center of the wheel will immediately return you to the running movie. If you again press the pause button and follow up by pressing the menu button a single time, you will be transported back to the top level menu with the new location in the movie now "bookmarked" to the "Now Playing" option.
    Be advised, however, that if you start watching another movie and press the pause button, you lose the bookmark for your first movie. In addition, if you fail to press the pause button before pressing the menu button, you will lose the bookmark altogether. Re-syncing the iPod while bookmarked also clears the bookmark.
    Hope this helps and enjoy the new iPod...

  • IOS   video   delete

    Has anyone been able to delete a video from the video library in the iOS version 2.0 of iMovie? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to delete videos from here. I can find how to delete them from the Theater menu, but not the Video menu. HELP!!

    If you sync video, you cannot delete it straight from iMovie.
    You need to use iTunes and un-sync it.
    If you shot video directly with device within iMovie Project, you can manage local media by doing this:
    In iMovie iOS Project
    In Project Timeline DELETE CLIPS that you no longer need
    Open Video Bin
    Tap "All" icon
    Tap "Manage local Media"
    Tap Done
    In the Video Bin you will see two icons to the right of all clips you shot locally on device and those you imported via iMovie Sharing function in iTunes.
    Red icon is a trash can. Tap it. Clip is now gone.
    If you attempt to delete in Video Bin before removing your clips in Timeline, you will get a warning saying that you are about to delete clips that are in USE

  • Video scrubbing too coarse

    I have a collection of mp4 videos that are relatively short (less than 10 secs) and want to have finer control when scrubbing. The scrubbing on Quicktime Player is exactly what I want. Is there some way to get MPMoviePlayerController to give me finer control? On the iPad scrubbing seems to operate in 1 second increments, but on the Mac Quicktime Player I get per frame control.
    Thanks
    Hank

    I have tried this. The drop down only ever shows "Hi Speed Scrubbing". My guess is the the videos are too short for the half/quarter/fine stuff to kick in. I do see the other options when viewing a longer video. Could this be a property of the video?
