Play video from input stream

urgent
i need to play an mpg file from a jar file but the Manager.createPlayer now only Url object
is there any other way to play video from InputStream?

You may want to take a look at this:
http://www.extollit.com/isdsjmf.php
I developed a similar implementation of this for a client and it works fine. It's based on using a sequential InputStream as a DataSource for the media player. As you may already know, the Java Media Framework does not seem to support URLDataSource and/or sequential InputStreams.
This code allows you to play media from nothing more than an InputStream without downloading it all into memory or to a local file. It uses a ringbuffer as a compromise along with some other enhancements.

Play video from byte stream? (load video from local container / archive).

I'd like to bundle video and other media items in a container / archive file and play it from an AIR app... Essentially I'd like to make my own distribution format that supports video plus attached files, etc.
So, coming from the Java world I thought I might be able to construct a stream and read the bytes from the correct part of my container file. But I'm not sure if I can actually do that with the Flash APIs. I see that the Video component works with NetConnection objects, but it's not clear to me if I can do anything with these.
Can anyone tell me if what I want to do is possible?
thanks,
Pat

You could probably use an SSLSocket to read the video file from an encrypted stream, save it as a file on the client machine, and then read the video from the file to the MediaPlayer if that's what you mean.

Playing video from a streaming server

Hi I've been using the insert flash video feature in dreamweaver CS3, using progressive download video and it works just fine. But lately I've hired a flash media server to host my videos and whent I try to use the streaming video option it gives me this error message when I type the address of the video:
The URL cannot contain spaces or special characters.
Change the path or file name and try again
The address of my video is: rtmp://p8bezucu.rtmphost.com/testevideo/portfolio.flv
appreciate any help

I have never used a streaming server, but looking at the instructions for inserting an FLV, it seems as though the name of the file doesn't go in the Server URI field. See the relevant help file: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7c9e.h tml.
It says that Server URI specifies the server name, application name, and instance name in the form rtmp://www.example.com/app_name/instance_name. The name of the FLV goes in the Stream Name field.

Playing video from a capture device - Out of memory for video buffers?

Hello guys, I'm having problems playing video from a video capture device when not using JMStudio. When I use JMStudio, the video plays real time with no problems, but when I use code taken from a java book which is a simple Media Player, I get the following error:
"Error is Error: Out of memory for video buffers."
My capture device is working and I don't know why i get this error when trying to watch the video feed from a program other than JMStudio. I also tried different code that has worked in the past with the same exact capture device and I still get the same error. Please help, I have no clue at this point. The code for the simple media player is below, it's taken out of the book "Java: How to Program (4th edition)":
Thanks in advance, I am very greatful
Miguel
device info: vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0
When I type the locator, I am typing vfw://0, I also tried just vfw://
and I get the same error.

somebody? anybody? I know there are some JMF professionals in here, any ideas?
I was reading the Sun documentation and it said something about increasing the JVM memory buffer or something? Well, i'm just clueless at this point.

How do I play video from photostream on apple TV?

PhotoStream is now available on my applet TV and the notes on the upgrade said I could play video from my Photo Stream. However the Photo Stream on the apple TV only presents photos for viewing. Any idea on how to get it to show my videos?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately that's not possible.

How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

Play video from external HD to Apple TV

I would like to play videos from an external drive to the Apple TV.
The workarounds I've seen all involve moving the entire iTunes library to the external drive. I want to keep all my music on the internal HD but the videos on the external HD.
Suggestions?

Launch iTunes on your computer
Mac - iTunes > Preferences > Advanced
PC - Edit > Preferences > Advanced
Uncheck 'Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library'
This will allow you to drag and drop videos from the external drive to iTunes without copying to the internal drive. Once in iTunes you should be able to watch them on your Apple TV
Hope that helps

Playing videos from iTunes onto a TV from my iPad

I have just bought a MacBook Air and i cannot play videos from the internet as it asks for a flash player to be installed i try to download Adobe flash player and it will not allow me to do so?

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

Playing video from iPad to TV

I bought the AV cable at the Apple store yesterday and tried it out. I can play
video from the Video app, the Netflix app, and the YouTube app without a
problem. But I can't play anything from the ABC app or the Hulu Plus app (the
free stuff - I'm not subscribed yet) or the HGTV app. I get sound, but no
picture. Anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?

I just tried to watch from the ABC Player on the TV, doesn't work. The app description in the app store doesn't indecate you can watch it on a TV. And there nowhere on the app to switch viewing from the iPad to the TV. So, I would say you can't view this on a TV.

Reading data from input stream on unix

I have a program that reads data from input stream from the socket. If the data is over 1500 bytes it is sent in multiple TCP packets. Whats weird is, if I run the program in windows environment it waits till it receives all the packets but when I run the same program in unix environment it only reads the first packet and go further without waiting for all the TCP packets!!
The line that reads from input stream is
datalen = inStr.read(byteBuffer);is there anyway I can make it wait till it receives all the packets on unix system? I do not understand why it works fine for windows in this case but not for unix.
I'll appreciate any help..
Thanks

Try using a DataInputStream with the readfully() method.

Firefox only can't play videos from Hamster web site

Firefox plays videos from every other site but Hamster. IE and Chrome have no problems playing videos from this site

Hi .
Make sure your OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
Or, open System Preferences > App Store > Check Now
If your Mac is up to date, most news websites require Flash.
Back to System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
