Playing video from a flash media server

Can anyone point me to code to play streaming video from a Flash Media Server in Flex?

Can you tell me how are you concluding that you are skipping few seconds when you set higher bufferTime - is it on visual inspection or say based on status messages.

I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems. As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play. I don't think I have done anything differently. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have tried unplugging it

Hi, I have been watching videos from my ipad via ATV2 with no problems for over a year. As of yesterday my videos just keep loading and don't play. I don't think I have done anything differently. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have tried unplugging it waiting 30secs and then plugging it back in. I have tried restarting, updating and reseting but nothing is working. It's quite frustrating!!!! Any suggestions????

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Playing video from a flash streaming server

Hi I've been trying to insert a video in a flash project that is hosted on a flash media server. I put the address wich by the way is rtmp://p8bezucu.rtmphost.com/testevideo/portfolio.flv and it doesn't work, I'm pretty sure that the address is right, am I misssing something? Thanks a lot

Have you tried dropping the .flv from the source url string? I think if the FLVPlayback component sees .flv it thinks it is a progressive download instead of a stream.

To not reload from start flash animation on web page

Hi,
I've done a nice flash animation which is in fact an ad
banner.
This banner should be displayed on my customer website in
each pages.
However, in order to be sure that customers of my client will
see the
whole flash animation, i would like to be sure that it's not
reloaded
from the first frame.
is there something like a frames counter which can be
memorized by PHP
pages server ?
i mean on page welcome.php, my banner will be displayed.
let's say that after few seconds (35 frames for example), the
customer
click on a link "prices.php".
on this prices.php page my ad banner is once again displayed,
but i
would like to make sure it starts from frame 36 for example,
and not
from frame 1.
how can i do that ?
thanks a lot,
RAF

Ha! thanks certified. the DW experts are pointing at Motion or Episode. I have confirmed that the file won't loop right out of Episode, so that leaves DW off the hook, i think. But what to do?
Perhaps my workflow is flawed. I don't want to use Aftereffects to create web animations anymore. I want to use Motion. But this is a showstopper. .swfs are supposed to loop by default, so I can't imagine what's wrong. thanks for anymore advice.

Cannot transfer videos from iPhone 4s to PC with Vista--HELP!!

Have valuable videos of my Dad (his health is declining rapidly) on my iPhone 4s. I want to download them to my PC, which uses Vista. This has been incredibly difficult. I used the most updated version of QuickTime, with no luck. The videos will transfer, but I cannot open them. Would purchasing QuickTime Pro help, or is this a waste of money? I have so many videos on my phone that I can't back it up. Need to transfer them ASAP.

Hello, OcnBrez.
I know how important these are to you and will do my best to help. The first question I have is how are you importing these videos? Any error messages received when attempting to play these videos? Video importing does require Quicktime 7.6.2 or later. Below, I have listed the article on how to import your photos. I have also included the download link for the latest version of Quicktime for Windows.

Video quality of Flash animation in iWeb

I'm inserting a flash movie (html snippet) into my iweb 08 site, but the resolution of the video is not as high as the original .swf file. This is my workflow:
-Go to LiveType and create a scrolling banner.
-Export the movie, then open it in Compressor and encode it with a different format. I do this because I've noticed that some of my LiveType animations don't play in my website if I don't encode them properly. I don't have to do this for any of my regular video files.
-Once I have the video file created, I use Visual Hub to create the .swf (flash) file.
-When I open the .swf file, the quality of the video animation is perfect.
-Then I create the html snippet in iweb 08 by copying and pasting the necessary code to make Flash work.
When I upload my site I can see some degradation in the quality of the video animation. Is not much but it is there... Has anyone seen this before? Is there a workaround for this?

I don't know that much about PC's, but you need to open the browser and click on the preferences, I think in the same way as you would do with a Mac and click on select javascript.
Rather than Firefox, get them to download a copy of Safari for PC from the Apple site.
Other than this I am not really sure of a solution, other than telling them to buy a Mac instead!!

Some videos from Aperture won't sync with iPhone

All the photos from Aperture (about 14,000) sync just fine to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, as do 282 of the 289 videos I have in Aperture. However, there are 7 videos that will not sync; after the sync process, iTunes gives me an error message that the video couldn't be synced since they couldn't be played back on the iPhone or iPad. The videos are all 50MB or less, all in the proper .m4v format using the H.264 codec. Other videos taken with the same camera and converted using HandBrake to .m4v using H.264 sync just fine. The videos play back just fine in Aperture, QuickTime, and iTunes.
I have tried removing all photos from the phone and re-adding them. I have tried deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder from the Aperture library package. I have reinstalled iTunes. I even tried re-converting them in HandBrake to another .m4v file using H.264 but that wouldn't sync either. No matter what I try, these same 7 videos won't sync for some reason, even though similar videos, some from the same exact camera, converted the same exact way, sync just fine.
Anybody experiencing anything similar? More importantly, anybody have a fix or solution? Thanks in advance!

Looks like its a software issue with the latest Itunes patch. I see several people are reporting this problem on the page and yet no solutions currently exist to address it. I tried several possiblities myself with no success. The only remaining solutions I can see are to "reset" your device and try to sync all appropriate apps, music, photos, etc.. once again. Two wait for the next patch, or three to attempt a recovery from a previous back up on your computer.
I do not have the time currently to attempt the ones I can do. If anyone wishes to try and can report a success I think many of us would appreciate it.

Downloading video from iPhone GS to Mac with Aperture

Hi. I'm struggling with the new iPhone, I use Aperture to manage my photos, and have the phone set to sync with that program rather than iPhoto. When I sync, I do not see my video available to import either in Aperture or iTunes. Any thoughts? Apple's help is not helping, they make it sound like video automagically downloads from the phone. Thanks.

This just got me too. It's a bit stupid but the trick is to make sure you have at least one still photo in the phone camera roll. When importing that photo Aperture will ask you if you want other files (ie the videos) downloaded too. So just take a quick snap before you sync.

In the past I have viewed video from my iPhone and iPad with 8.3 on my Sony TV with AppleTV Gen 1. Now I have audio coming from my Sony TV but NO video. AirPlay is ON to AppleTV. Suggestions?

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.3 and I have an AppleTV Gen 1 that is connected to a Sony TV and I have viewed photos from my iPhone before but now I only hear audio that comes from my iPhone on the Sony TV but no video. iPhone's AirPlay is ON to AppleTV. Why don't I have video? Same thing happens with iPad Air

AIrplay is not supported on 1st gen, I assume you have a 2nd gen (black box). Not all apps are enabled for AirPlay, this would be up to the developers to do

Captivate 5 will NOT play streaming video from my Flash Media Server

Recently I have begun attempting to convert older projects to captivate 5. However, once I started loading the videos I quickly realized that they are not playing in captivate 5! I know that these videos stream from the server just fine as I have been running them with other products and I know that the paths are correct because I've been using a web player to test the paths of the videos that will not play. How do I get around the bugs in Captivate and get the video working?

Looking at this issue, here is what I see:
Looking at the source code from the URL you supplied
http://www.uab.edu/smsfiles/video.cgi?OU=CEVS&VIDEO=AD_clip_setup.f4v
Looks to me that the rtmp server has a different name than the one you provided: streamer: ["rtmp://wwwsms.it.uab.edu:1935/CEVS/"]
Is the file truly an FLV or F4V? Looks to me like it is a MP4. [file : "AD_clip_setup.f4v-lo.mp4"]
I think this will still boil down to getting the correct format for the URI.
Just my thoughts.

Flash Animations (.swf) with RoboHelp for Word

Hello everybody,
Sorry for my english ..... but I need an information. Is it
possible to insert a "Shockwave Flash Object" (.swf) in a RoboHelp
project (For Word) ?
Today, I can just insert movies with the extension (.avi)
Could you help me please ?

I've know RoboHelp have issues finding Word or working with the wrong security settings. What I have not known it do is affect the running of Word when Word is run alone. For that reason, I think your problem is with Word.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

HT4589 How do I stop my video from randomly flashing green?

In the middle of editing my video the screen started to flash green in one spot and then started doing it in other places. It still does it after I export. How do I stop this?

You need to re-render the affected clips. Have a quick flick through this forum and you will find a couple of posts reffering to this.
