Local video files on native player - any examples or official response?

Sorry to bring this up again as there are several posts in this forum asking the same questions but I figured now that Packager for iPhone is once again being actively supported it would be a good time to try and get some clarification.
Playing local video files on the iPhone/Pad's native video player is a well documented feature of the packager but one that I have yet to get working or even see an example of. There are quite a few posts here and elsewhere with people asking how to get this feature working, especially with reference to the navigateToURL() function as described in the developer guide.
Has anyone ever managed to get this feature working and are there any examples of code using navigateToURL() which have been successful for anyone? If not could one of the Adobe reps on this board give a response just to clarify if H.264 video playback is working as intended and documented.
Many thanks for any incoming responses, I have been very happy to hear the news from Apple/Adobe over the last few days and getting this feature working would top off a few days of good news!

I've tried that with no luck. Here's a screenshot of the app. You can see the many ways I've tried to play video files and it just doesn't work the way you suggested, or the way the documentation suggests. What am I doing wrong? Or does it just not work since no one can seem to get it to work?
And yes, I did include the video:

AirPlay buffering from local video file [NOT WORKING]

We have been trying to play videos on our Apple TV, (Actually 2 of them, neither worked). WE have a local video file on our mac (iTunes Version 11.3.1) and we have been trying to play the video n out Apple TV using AirPlay. We can select the Apple TV from the AirPlay list but when we go to watch it all it does is buffer. It buffers for ever. This happened on both our Apple TV's (one is a ten. 2 and the other a gen. 3). We have also tried using our other mac which also runs iTunes 11.3.1. Our network works fine, (Apple Time Capsule) we have backups going to it and everything. This issue only started about 3 days ago; before that everything worked perfectly for more then two years. (Across two different routers). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Just linking to the file won't work. You'll have to call
navigateToURL with that file's path. This will load the file in the
default browser.
There's no other way to launch applications from AIR
1.0.

Getting problems while playing video files in flex player

Hi friends,
Here i can able to play all video file formats like .mp4,3gp,.flv,.swf.But the problem ,i can't able to play mobile recording video files in this player even if that files are mp4 or 3gp or flv.In this scenario,can't understand what should do and where is my problem.So it would be grateful if anybody suggests and share me some idea where i am wrong.
Regards,
abhishek

People use one-player-per-video because you can't reuse player objects. Player is a parent class to a whole bunch of subclasses, each subclass is capable of playing a specific kind of video. So when you create your Player object, you're actually creating some subclass type that's specific to that video type. So while it's technically possible to use a single Player subclass to play more than one video, unless all of your videos are of the same video encoding / audio encoding...you won't be able to reuse it.
What you need to do is dispose of the last player before you create a new player (player.close), and do that over and over again. That way, you're never using more than 1 player's worth of memory...

Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player?

Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player video files?
Windows XP

Windows Media Player on a PC plays avi and mpg in addition to the WMV and ASF files so you can either use a Windows program that generates those files from .mov format or you can use QT Pro to convert the .mov to uncompressed avi and then use Windows Media Encoder to make WMV files. Although it may be out there no one here has mentioned a PC program that converts directly from .mov format to WMV. There is a program for Mac OS that does it and I believe that company is working on a version for Intel Macs so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to port it to Windows.

Ipod too slow when reading video files via DVD player with USB port.

Hi all, this is my first message in this forum.
I've got a DVD player that has a USB port and reads all types of disks. When I use my IPOD 80 GB the files I read are somehow frozen and don't run properly (lack of sync between audio and video, etc). I've got version 1.2.1 and use it in disk mode otherwise the player doesn’t see it. Meanwhile a friend of mine uses it's 60 Gb IPO on the same player, version 1.0 and it doesn't need to go to disk mode, and the player reads perfect from it. Is this a problem of the ipod software version?
Both ipods are in Fat32 format, but in his ipod the partition is set to active. I can't change mine to that, because windows is seeing my IPOD as a removable device, and my friend’s IPOD as a disk.
Hope I haven't been too confusing, and I welcome any help anyone can give.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't even know
what it is you are trying to do. Are you attaching
the iPod to a stand alone DVD player? Are you trying
to export stuff out of the iPod into the DVD player?

Hi, I'm attaching the iPod to a stand alone DVD player, that has a usb input port. And then read video files from it.

Satellite C50-A-15L: unable to play music or video files via media player

Hi all
I am having problems with my media player and explorer functions all of a sudden - it seems to have occured after a recent 'important update' (always causes more issues than fixes).
Anyway, since this update, I have been unable to play any music or video files via the media player or cut and paste any items when sorting files out.
All fine previously, but now when I highlight and click 'cut', the timer cuts in and the window goes straight to 'not responding'. Drag and drop works OK, then going back to delete files.
As for media files, double click one and no response, right click and 'open', again, nothing...
Anyone else experienced similar problems?
Of know of a fix or patch?
Many thanks
Matt

From my point of few you have no problems with notebook but with Microsoft system.
"Hotmail" isnt Toshiba product.
If you have problems login the Hotmail account, you should contact the Microsoft support for help.
By the way: you can always set the system back to early time point before you received any updates.
Windows 8 creates a restore point for you automatically during Windows Updates and other system maintenance events.
Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on Settings. On the left hand side you will see the option called Create a restore point.
New window would open. Within the System Protection tab choose System restore.
Clicking on Next would lead to next step where you could restore the computer to the sate it was before the selected event (windows update).

Local video file (.mp4) file not play in MAC OS using netstream (NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound)

I have developed adobe air application using adobe flash builder 4.6 for Windows and Mac OS. Application allow user to download movie (.mp4) file in his system at specific location for play without live streaming. File downloading correctly in both OS and also file playing from download location in Window application correctly. but when start playing file Mac OS application not start playing.
When start playing in mac OS, NetStatusEvent.Net_Status event return "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" event info code. I have found one solution for mac OS is use colon notation instead of slash notation. I have tried it but it also not working.
Code:
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.Net_Status, connectionHandler);
_nc.connect(null);
private function connectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
trace("Connection to server: " + event.info.code);
/// Get "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" code in mac OS.
slash notation path: /Users/mayur/Downloads/myvideo.mp4
Colon notation path: I have tried following colon notation path
1) :Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
2) Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
3) Macintosh HD:Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4 (Macintosh HD - Drive name)
Please help me to solve this issue.

Finally I found a solution...
The problem is that AIR on Android stores the application data in the protected directory /data/... which is not accessible by StageWebView (or any browser app).
So you have to copy the video file you want to play to a temporary pubic directory on the sd-card for example and use this in StageWebView.
You also have to create a temporary html-page with the video-tag and load this page in StageWebView (not the string) because external resources are only loaded in StageWebView when using an URL.
On iOS the application storage directory is readable for StageWebView so you don't have to do this step.
Hope this helps

Differences between the 2 ways to play local swf files in flash player

There are 2 ways to allow the flash player to play local swf files:
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Global Flash Player Trust directory. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Trusted Location Settings in the Local Settings Manager.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l#WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7fea
Adobe doesn't mentioned in the document what's the differences between these 2 methods, and they look has the same effect. But when I'm doing it on OS X, Safari 6.1, the first method doesn't work (It was working when I was using Safari 6.0). And then I tried method 2, it works…
So I'd like to ask what are the differences between these 2 methods to play local swf files?

For playing local SWF files, Download the Macintosh Flash Player 11.9 Projector
It's a standalone app. Just copy it to your Applications folder. Launch it, and drag the SWF to the Dock icon. It'll play.

Since upgrade to os5 video files from emails can no longer be viewed, they are downloaded as before, but I am no longer asked which program to open file with. I used Azule without problems before os5' now os5 tries to open video file and stalls. Any fix

Os5 must have changed playback functionality of video files, it tries to play .wmv files, but crashes...it shows "loading", but nothing happens. Before update it would prompt me to choose an app to show the file, Azule worked great, but now it doesn't offer to chose an app.
How do I fix this?

Indeed you were right. I though that in single mode all services were not started, but apparently I was mistaken.
However, as I feared, there seemingly is no useful info in it.

Firefox add-on that opens YouTube videos with a native player

Put this together today after getting fed up with YouTube's crappy player. It removes the player from any YouTube page and instead plays the video mpv. It also supports playlists if that's your sort of thing.
Demonstration
Source code and install instructions
Hope someone else finds this useful.

SirCmpwn wrote:mpv doesn't work well with a lot of videos, especially DRM'd ones. I originally made it go straight to mpv, but switched to the youtube-dl solution later.
Ah, I've not yet had that problem. What exactly are the youtube credentials used for?

How do I convert FLV video files to Mpeg (or any other video format?)

I have about 60 flv files I need to convert to mpeg and am using MPEGSTREAMCLIP 1.9.1 but every file loses all audio. Ive tried converting to every format MPEGSTREAMCLIP can do and all lose all audio. Anybody have any idea why this is or is there some other free file converter I should use for flvs?
Ive also tried VISUALHUB but for some reason these flv's are not compatible with it.
Thanx in advance!

"Ive also tried VISUALHUB but for some reason these flv's are not compatible with it."
Now that is strange. Are you using v1.34.1? I converted a few flv files a few weeks ago without any issue.
Video Monkey utility took over from where VH left off. Try it. It's free & claims to be just like VH including +"ease of use."+

Play local video file from MIDlet

Hi there,
I'm developing a video-related MIDlet application and I'm wondering which is the best strategy to play video on mobile phones.
Since my video are very simple clips, my idea was to put them inside the jar and play them from there, however it seems to me that playing video from resource:/ URL is not allowed, is it true? Do I have to use file:/ URL or anything else? I would like to avoid streaming from HTTP.
Finally, which is the minimum format that every phone CLDC/MIDP compliant should be able to play, MPEG1? Then if I code in MPEG4 there's no guarantee that is playable on every phone, isn't it?
Many thanks in advance,
Matteo.

hi
if u add the your file in jar n jad file that it wont do http connection. then u have to use something called getResourceMethod("file name") mathod
yes we are having fille:/.. something like that that is jsr-75 buk it wont support by many of mobile model
i hope i am lcear

I have a problem playing embedded .mp4 video files on safari? Any solutions to be able to watch these videos?

There is an important training website which I've to watch the videos on them cannot play on safari because it says that it doesn't support mp4 videos? Any solutions? Because I really need to play and watch these videos via my ipad4.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
