Play a string of videos

I've got a long list of short videos that I'd like to play all at once, automatically one after the other. Is there any way to do this? I don't care whether it's in quicktime or in any other app. I just want to keep the files separate, but be able to play them as one long video, I guess kind of like a slideshow of videos instead of photos. Thanks for any help. (all vids are .mov format)

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

HTML5 playback issue when playing lots of html5 videos on a single page

Hi,
I've got a use case where I need to play 48 to 150 videos per page and number of pages could be from few to thousands. I use html5 for video playback.
The video tag I use is the below one:
<video width="20" height="20" autobuffer controls preload="none" ><source src="MY_VIDEO_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"type='video/webm; codecs="vp8,vorbis"'></video>
I have an Apache http server serving the videos. I store the videos without the extension so I've modified the httpd.conf and added "DefaultType video/mp4" since all videos have been transcoded to mp4 with h.264/mpeg-4 with AAC audio.
I created a simple html with the above video tag repeated 46 times with each having a different source. The videos are of varying lengths from few minutes to close to an hour. I noticed that I can play the first few videos - around 15 of them. I pause each video before playing the next one. After 15 videos or so, I start seeing the loading icon and the video just won't play no matter how long I wait.
I used firebug to see what's happening and noticed that it is waiting on the GET request. I see no incoming requests on the apache server logs for those failed videos.
If i reload the page and play those videos that didn't play earlier they would play without any issue till I reach the number of videos i've selected to play around 15 or so and then the problem starts again. The problem is not with the videos since they play at one time or the other based on what videos I choose to play first. I have no other tabs open that may interfere with this.
I noticed that I do not have this problem on Google Chrome, all videos play without any issues. So, it looks like it is a firefox issue. I have the latest FF and Chrome btw.
I added "browser.cache.memory.capacity" property and set it to 1GB but it still didn't help. The memory and CPU usage on the task manager is not significant enough to be the cause of this issue. I have 32GB RAM and 6core CPU. And its not just my desktop, its several other desktops that have this issue.
Even if I remove the codecs and use type='video/mp4', it doesn't work. I've tried removing autobuffer and it behaves the same.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry,
The video tag I use is the below one:
<video width="20" height="20" autobuffer controls preload="none" ><source src="MY_VIDEO_WITHOUT_EXTENSION"type='video/webm; codecs="vp8,vorbis"'></video>

Can't play a single downloaded video, with all updated softwares and O.S.

Problem : Attempting to play any downloaded iTunes video content from my iTunes Library prompts me with the following message:
Authorize Computer
This computer is not authorized to play "any iTunes Video That You Just finished downloading.m4v".
If you purchased this content you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this content by entering your Apple ID and Password.
Cancel Open iTunes
Now, keep in mind, iTunes has BEEN open the whole time, it was a necessary prerequisite to purchase an episode of a T.V. show from the iTunes store and download it so I could watch it before bed. So, clicking "Open iTunes", simply brings up another prompt:
Waiting for iTunes to authorize this computer to play "The Video You Just PURCHASED and DOWNLOADED.m4v"
iTunes will open and prompt you for a password. You will not be able to play the content on this computer until you successfully authorize it using iTunes.
Cancel
I decide not to cancel, and do as the Apple tells me. I wait. Id does not prompt me . . . (maybe because iTunes has been launched the whole time . . . I dunno), instead, the message just eventually disappears and iTunes is left playing a silent, grey screen for my entertainment.
I thought to check that I was running the most current updates on all software (I am), OS 10.5.5,
Quicktime Payer Version 7.5.5 (240)
Quicktime Version 7.5.5 (975)
and YES, I am running iTunes 8. Everything was playing back beautifully BEFORE I updated. NOW, I can not watch a a single purchased tv episode from 2 years ago, last week or right now.
I am signed in as the Admin. I am the ONLY user and absolute ADMINISTRATOR of this machine.
I authorized the computer from the store menu. I was told that it is already authorized. 2 computers out of 5.
I quit.
Restarted.

Opened "TV episode".

FRACK ME!
I've been slaving over two computers running final cut studio, logic studio 2, ableton live, NI Komplete, DJay, Traktor scratch, safari, firefox, aperture, photoshop CS3, iPhoto, Quicktime pro, Toast, text edit, acrobat, preview, reason, avmixer pro, and Riff Works for fifteen hours. I just wanted to chill with a nice old episode of BSG, that I lost in a harddrive crash a while back and now have finally been able to D.L. from iTunes, to relax off to bed. Instead, I've spent one and a half the amout of time I would have spent with my show, jumping through the help hoops and documenting all this (I don't have T.V., I hate it. iTunes is the only way I will allow myself to watch a T.V. program . . . occasionally).
Is my brain just fried from working too hard, for too long outside the consumer realm , and missing something fundamentally obvious to iTunes users who don't work all day and night with every conceivable form of digital media? My brain is totally FRACKED now. Gotta find something to watch to unwind.

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

Sounds like a bad battery. You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

My wirelessinternet speed seems to be fine, however, trying to play a 1 minute video from my iphone to apple tv via airplay is so slow. Any fixes?

>Any fixes?
Don't use WiFi for streaming video. It is even worse for AirPlay since you are using bandwidth twice as it sends data from the iOS device to the router and then from the router to ATV. Use an wired connection to go to ATV. Even the high end consumer grade WiFi equitment is not great at doing streaming video.

When i try to play Music or a video the volume comes up with full bars and a stop sign, how do i get back my volume?

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.

The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

Can't play any music or videos after 7.4.3.1 upgrade

Any body seen this type of problem after the update??
After upgrading to iTunes 7.4.3.1 I can't play any music on my PC. iTunes allows me to select the tune piece from the library, loads the player and just sits there not advancing the song.
If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens. I also can't play any of the video files I have on dick either. They play a few seconds worth, pause, then play a pit more and it repeats.
Thanks
Jay

+If I try to play am MP3 through Windows Media Player same thing happens.+
If two of your media players are doing that, we'd better have a look in your control panels.
Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel. Click the "Audio" tab.
Is the correct default device showing up in the "Sound Playback" area?

How to play the pdf embedded video on firefox

I embed video into pdf quite often, if I want everyone with Acrobat reader version earlier than 9 (6,7,8) can open it, I have to chose "Create legacy multimedia content..." when I embed the video. The problem is, when I make the pdf with Mac, usually I use mp4 video, but a lot of PC's can not open it because they don't have the codec (they have to install it first); but if I embed it with wmv, Mac users can not open it. Also the latest Firefox browser doesn't have the plug-ins for the new pdf, thus can not play the embedded video. Anyone can help? Many thanks...

Hi Philips,
Thanks for your input, but that's not the problem. I've got Flip4Mac already installed, and I have quicktime pro, so no problem for my intel based Mac running WMV under quicktime.
The problem is, I can not play the PDF embedded video WITHIN FIREFOX / SAFARI browser. Just found out that they only have plug-ins for viewing pdf files, not with embedded video.
Thanks anyway.
Adobe has not had a PDFPlugin for Mozilla Products Since OS 9. I have put in a bug about it at least once every year.
There is a PDF Browser Plugin by Shubert of Germany, that will view PDF's. Now Safari will work with the Acrobat PDFViewer Plugin and any other Browsers using Webkit including iCab. You can set SeaMonkey FireFox, Camino, to use the Adobe Reader or even Acrobat rather than a plugin.
It's sad and funny at the same time. Adobe until Acrobat came out was just a Font provider. And Adobe got started with other products on the Mac, because mac users were a little more bold and daring and would try out new technology. Acrobat on PC (Widows/DOS) wasn't accepted for another two years. Then when then got a foot in the door in the Windows world, they all but abandoned the Mac Platform.
They refuse to fix crash and performance issues on Mac for Flash. One reason why Jobs has took the stance he has about Flash on the iPad/iPhone.
But they are not the only ones. Intuit (Quicken) got started on Mac first. Then when they got toe hold in PC world they have been shafting Mac Users every since.

Disable the STOP/PLAY tap on a video

How i can disabling the STOP/PLAY tap on a video (so it can start as the cover of the Folio) and without having the user to unexpectedly stop it. Even if the video is full screen.

You can put an empty fake MSO on top of it. Just make an empty MSO that autplays once and it should block the tap.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

I cannot activate the play button on a video in firefox using the keyboard

I am blind and use a screen-reader called JAWS For Windows to navigate the internet. Because I am blind I cannot use a mouse and rely on the keyboard to navigate and interact with web pages. I tend to play a lot of video for business reasons. I can, using internet explorer, navigate to and press the play button in websites such as Youtube. However this is not possible using firefox. I sometimes have occasion to use video download helper and in order to download I have to play the video first and unless there is someone around who can click the play button with a mouse I cannot do this. Any ideas? I have tried on two different computers, 1 is a netbook running IE8 with Windows 7 starter edition and the other is a desktop running Windows XP Home SP3. I would much prefer to be using firefox on a permanent basis as it also gives me access to a plugin which deals with Captcha Images.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

HT201335 How can I play an Amazon instant Video on Apple TV?

How do I play an Amazon Instant Video on Apple TV?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.
