Issues with streaming flv in Captivate 4

I'm trying to view a streaming video in Captivate 4.
The video server is an in-house web server.
Nothing shows in Preview mode. When CP project is published, I get a dialogue box asking if I want to open or save:
If I open, Adobe Media Player opens. I don't want to view it in Adobe Media Player. I want the flv file to run in Captivate.
I have scoured the forums, but haven't seen an answer except maybe the Windows 2003 server issue (which I'm checking on.)
What am I missing?

Hi, Ed. You might want to review these things:
1. I often need to inject Metadata into the FLV. This is important because Captivate needs to know things like how long the Video plays etc. and this data is provided by the metadata. The free Buraks FLV Metadata Injector does exactly that.
Because it is a little cryptic to use, I created a narrated Captivate demo to show you exactly how to use it. The demo is very short.

When you get to that page, click on the link, Using FLV MetaData Injector to see the demo.
2. Please have your web admin folks look at this link.

My own web server is Windows Server 2003 and I had to use this tech note article myself (and it worked!)

I have a ipad 1. I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop.

I seem to be having a lot of connectivity issues my iPad. It takes a long time to load and sometimes will not load a page at all. I seem to be having issues with streaming in that it will play a song and just stop. It seems I have to turn it completely off and restart.
Anyone had these issues?

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Is there an issue with streaming videos direct from itunes? I

Is there an issue with streaming videos direct from itunes? I have good wifi but films just buffer , doesn't happen on flixster on netflix , wonder if there is any tweak to watch a film uninterrupted , because it is very frustrating? Thanks

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now.

Buffer Issue with streaming 10 MB file

Hi there,
Having a bit of a nightmare, essentially I have this code:
private void streamBinaryData(String urlstr,String format,HttpServletResponse response)
        String ErrorStr = null;
        try{
         if(urlstr==null)
             urlstr = "c:\\video\\hoff.flv";
         File f = new File(urlstr);
         response.setContentType("video/x-flv");
        response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"hoff.flv\"");
        Long fileSize = Long.valueOf(f.length());
        response.setContentLength(fileSize.intValue());
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
        ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
        int bit = 0;
        System.out.println("VIDEO STREAMER: start streaming data");
            while ((bit) != -1) {
                bit = in.read();
                outs.write(bit);
            in.close();
        System.out.println("STREAMER: Finished streaming data");
        outs.flush();
        outs.close();
        catch(Exception e){
                System.out.println("DEBUG: "+ e.toString());
}which works just fine, but as the server that will be using this code essentially just (90%) will be the use of this servlet to stream .flv files I want to make it more productive by buffering all or some of the file in order to stream.
so essentially I have tried many times and variations around the following sub code:
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
        ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
        int bit = 0;
        System.out.println("VIDEO STREAMER: start streaming data");
        byte buffer = new byte[fileSize.intValue()];
        outs.write(buffer);
            in.close();
        System.out.println("STREAMER: Finished streaming data");The above pump about 1MB of a 10MB fine, but the hangs and no exception is received, or:
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
        ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
        System.out.println("VIDEO STREAMER: start streaming data");
        byte buffer = new byte[fileSize.intValue()];
        for(int i=0; i<buffer.length; i++) {
             outs.write(buffer);
outs.write(buffer);
in.close();
System.out.println("STREAMER: Finished streaming data");
which will pump out around 2-6 MB of the file, with both of the code changes above I can see the file being pumped at a much faster rate, but obviously no good as it does not deliver the whole file.
I know that content length is fine, I have also tried varying the response.setBuffer(int) to larger than 8192 up to fileSize.intValue to allow a buffer to handle the whole file before outputing, all to no avail.
I have also increased the runtime RAM via '-Xmx64m'.
I am developing on a windows tomcat (with netbeans) and the production version is unix based.
Any help that anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
Hi, yes sorry has missed that (typed the other 2 variations by hand), I have tried buffering part of the file & tried using a BufferedOutputStream.
Neither worked either.
so for example, I used (done before, but hell tried again anyway):
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
        ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
        System.out.println("VIDEO STREAMER: start streaming data");
        BufferedOutputStream bout = new BufferedOutputStream(outs);
        byte [] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length=0;
        while( (length = in.read(buffer,0,buffer.length)) > 0) {
            bout.write(buffer,0,length);
        }this actually does worse as I only receive around 500KB.
Checked the link you provided, useful but the implemented solution is still reading 1 byte at a time, hense far too many reads going on for when the server will be (hopefully) sending out a few files per min..
essentially it seems like the outputstream (whether raw or bufferedOutputStream) is having issues with pumping data that quickly to it !???!?!?
or it's not liking raw bytes and only really working with the bout.write(int) method, the best solution so far has been this use when I mentioned above that I would receive between 4-6 odd MB of the file, this was nice and fast, just never complete.

Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 Issue with Streams when using NULL value in a key field

Hi,
we have an issue in our replicated environment using Streams.
We have a replicated table using the following index:
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 SOGID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_ID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_LANGUAGE_LABEL
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TEXT_FORMAT_COUNTER
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_PROVIDER_ID
UK_S01_TEXT_FORMAT_TBL01 INDEX_TARIFF_PLAN_COSP_ID
with field INDEX_PROVIDER_ID allowing NULL values. Actually we insert empty strings in there, but as far as I understand Oracle will convert it sliently in a NULL value, which is fine to our application.
When we apply a change on that table (either update or delete) we get errors at streams level and the transaction is not propagated.
Local Transaction ID: 6.28.11170

If I force the set of primary keys to be only the NOT NULL fields, I can successfully apply the error, but since we may have them storing both NULL and NOT NULL values, this is not a solution.
I'm wondering why the DB on one hand converts the empty string in a NULL while inserting, but it looks the Apply process onStandby is not able to do the same when looking for the record before applying the transaction.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Mike

Its showing all objects the user has permission to see- why does that need to be restricted?

Issues with hangman activity in captivate 7

Hi,
I am using the hangman activity in some of my projects. There are two issues being faced:
When I test the published file in scormcloud, it works fine. The screen automatically progresses to the next slide once the learner completes the activity (I am using IE or firefox browser). However, when my client tests it, they get stuck after this activity, because the slide doesn't progress (they're testing on Chrome browser). Is this a browser issue?
Secondly, for the learner to move from one question to another after completing it, the button label reads 'Retry', which is not correct because you want them to continue and not retry a word. Is there a way to customize the button labels for these new interactions?
Your advise would be highly appreciated!
Divya

Divya, I have had similar problems with the puzzle widget. In the end we cannot make learner tools that only work on certain browsers. Users use different browsers. And that is that.
Adobe did not round off these widget tools properly. I actually wonder how they passed any form of QA.
I have not specifically used the hangman widget yet, However, when a learner does not complete the puzzle widget in time, it just hangs (freezes) right there! So I added a "continue" button that actually runs the slide again (so widget runs again) and allows the learner to try again. In the same way you could just add a continue button when and where your require it. You might have to use some advanced action to co-ordinate the lot.
If you have not worked with advanced actions before, now is the time to learn. Drink a Red Bull (It is not really bad for you) and watch the series of videos that explain advanced actions on YouTube. You will need the Red Bull to maintain focus . Just make enough time available and be patient. You will get it right. It will help you overcome many of the Captivate problems.

Server 2012 SMB 3.0 file cluster issues with Streaming media services 2008 R2

So I have a file server setup with the always available feature turned off on this brand new cluster. Everything seems to function normally and I can hit files from the shares no problem.
My issue I built a brand new 2008 R2 machine and created an on-demand publishing point to point to my 2012 file share cluster. I created a windows account for my windows media service to run as and applied read only to my video share. Media services see
the video files on the server in the GUI so I know its got connectivity, but when I go to test locally or externally it will not play the stream at all. It complains of access even know I know that is not the issue. I have verified the setup and the ACL
stuff is turned off on both the root and the publishing point. I can login to the Media server as my service account and play files from the share no problem. IIS media services can stream the files with no problem and yeah everything seems more like something
possibly with SMB 3.0 and something in media services.
I have a country rule where my data is not allowed in other countries so I have multiple video services on a domain with tunnels and what not my US Streaming services is working great but has a server 2008 R2 file cluster server. If I take that one to my
out of the country publishing point to test it streams great as they use the same services account. If I take my out of the country file share to the US I get the same result just will not work. I have poke prodded and banged my head and since I get this result
I have concluded it must be something with the new security of SMB 3.0.
Does anyone have this working or tested? Also I am using the exact same video file to test all of this. Or is there secret I missed to either make smb 3.0 even more compatible or make streaming services play nice.
Anything helps please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam

I'd recommend calling in for support on this one. Things aren't adding up. Probably the most useful thing to do would be to do a network trace of the WMS server connecting to the remote server over SMB.

Issues with coverted files of captivate from CP2 to CP4

Hi Adobe,
We have a captivate files made using CP2 and saved it as CP4 and published it for Flash8, AS2 and SCORM 1.2.
This a multi-sco course and each SCO had one CP file
1st CP file contains the simulation with few self-checks in it and the
2nd CP file contain the assessment questions.
When we tested it on the Docent LMS the following issues were identified.
1.      for 1st CP file à The bookmarking is not working
a.      Bookmarking worked fine until the course was not completed. But after completion of the course bookmarking did not work properly. Since we have multi SCO structure the leaner can revisit the completed SCO.
b.      The course did not mark as completed on the LMS on the first attempt but on 2nd attempt it did.
c.      If the course is again launched after completion and the Rewind button is clicked or slider is dragged the course gets marked as "incomplete" on the LMS and does not get changed to complete even after the last slide is viewed and we were not able to re-enroll again.
d.    The interactivities built using the inbuilt captivate templates (MCSS/MCMS/True-False) can not be re-attempted.
2.      For 2nd CP file – Score value does not get properly recorded on LMS
a. The LMS does not record the accuracy value on the LMS, due to which the completion status does not get fired.
b. If we launch and exit the module without attempting any of the questions then a Failed status is sent to the LMS. Is this something that can be resolved using the Captivate publish settings?
b. Even when the bookmarking is set to false, when the assessment is re-launched, the starts from the bookmarked position and are not able to go back to reattempt from the beginning.
Can you guide us on how we can overcome these issues.
Thanks
Regards,
Siddharth Lodha

Thanks for the reply, Bartok, but those didn't seem to work for me. Maybe I applied them incorrectly as that thread was for the Win platform and not Xcode and I might have translated the solution poorly.
Basically I went to the "Release_Cocoa64" target, and scrolled down the "Build Settings" page. I then edited the BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS field.
First I tried just appending BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED.
Second I thought that this might be a macro of some sort so I tried $(BOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED).
Finally, I deleted all the previous values and added "BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK BOOST_REGEX_USE_CPP_LOCALE BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE BOOST_HAS_ICU=1 BOOST_ FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 BOOST_CHRONO_HEADER_ONLY BOOST_SIGNALS_NO_DEPRECATION_WARNING".
As you might guess from the experimentation I got none of these to work. The error that I was getting has remained exactly the same.
One difference that I assumed between the Win and Xcode version is that Win separates the values with a semi-colon whereas Xcode separates with a space.
My only other thought is maybe I edited the wrong field. Is BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS the one?
As a final comment, the thread you gave me and my issue really comparable? I have other projects that don't use the boost::regex libraries and they build and run without issue. It's only when I try to use boost's regular expressions in a release build that I get problems when linking (debug build is still fine).
Also the link error looks different. The thread that you gave me points at "boost::system::error_category" as not being resolved, while I have problems resolving "boost::re_detail::get_mem_block".
I don't seem to have problems with basic boost - just the regular expression stuff.

Issues with depreciating FLV and F4V video formats from Adobe Media Encoder 2004

Hi Adobe
There are a couple of issues that have come to light with the removal of FLV support from AME 2004. Please can you provide answers to the following:
How do we set up/create Flash Que Points in video, now that the FLV format has been removed for AME 2004? - This is something I use a lot for adding dynamic text to video in Flash projects.
How do we export video with Alpha, without the FLV format, which can then be used in Flash? - This typically is used to overlay presenter to camera (on green screen) on flash animations or interactions etc.
More info on these issue on the following video forums:
Re: How do I use Flash Que Markers without the ability to export to FLV or F4V in Premiere Pro CC 2014?
Re: FLV export gone.. need alpha channel in video for Flash

I know this already - what worries me is going forward, there is no alternative to using these features. Adobe has basically made the new versions of their software unusable to me and other users looking to use 'Flash Que Points' or 'Alpha in video'. What Adobe should do is provide a modern alternative, before ditching these formats. - Doesn't really make any sense!
The other big question is, for how long will they provide access to the older versions????

Font color issue with animated text in Captivate 5

When I prepare a new animated text and open the property and then click the square to choose a color , I only get a little part of the color panel (when I click the color box) and I have no possibilities to enter the color code either:
I'm working with a Windows XP, 64 bits desktop and I have Captivate 5 version 5.0.1.624.
Any ideas to solve this issue would be appreciated as it is becoming urgent for me.

@Lieve: You're on the French version of Captivate 5 aren't you?
Can you provide a screenshot of what the Animated Text font colour dialog looks like on your PC and upload it here?
This is what that box looks like for me:
It seems that on this user's PC the colour picker isn't able to float on top of the dialog as it should.
I encouraged Valerie to post her issue on this forum in the hope that one of the Captivate developer technicians would chime in with a possible solution. I think this one has got to be some kind of bug due to a language version of Cp.

Spark VideoPlayer issue with streaming in iOS Devices

Hi,
I’m working in a mobile application using Flex which needs playing remote videos.
So, we are having some problems with the streaming of FLV videos in iOS devices. When we play a streaming video on iPhone or iPad, after some time (about 1 minute), the application just crashes and closes.
We are using:
- FLV video format;
- Flex 4.5.1;
- Flash Media Server 3;
- Spark VideoPlayer component.
It doesn’t occur when we are using Android devices neither when we are accessing medias located in our local network (including in iOS devices). The problem occurs only when we are accessing medias located in an external FMS server through iOS devices.
I would really appreciate if someone could give any help about this problem.
Thanks,
Luis Vasquez

SBH50 issue with streaming audio (sec white noise)

After some test, with 2 device, and after having resetted the SBH50 as suggested in another thread related to stutter audio, i realize that the issue comes when "multipoint" in sbh50 is activated.
i did some exercise:
- no multipoint activated (only one device: sgs3) music streaming from sgs to sbh works perfectly.
- multipoint acivated
second device not connected: as soon as multipoint is activated sbh starts being disturbed by "white noise" for 1 second and it happens really often, more times during a single song
second device connected: same situation as point 1
i solved not using multipoint.. that is not the right solution
hope for a solution, i got still 20 days before time limit for give it back with no fee, and i wonder to understand if i should buy a BT clip that cost less considering at this point the added values is the little scrren (nice) and nfc (nice but.. after the first pairing i do not need it anymore)
thank you for your support

does this silence in suppport means that there is no solution ?
