Playback Component & Sound

Is it possible to access the sound ByteArray coming from a
PlayBack Component? How do you get to that data.

Aran,
Are you looking for something for the .FLV playback
component? You can easily grab the byteArray from a sound alone.
There are a ton of examples out there if you google it, but a good
example with code is...

No sound even with mpeg2 playback component

I purchase the quicktime mpeg2 playback component. Now I see the video, but without audio. How can it be that even paying 20 dollars I can´t see mpeg2 files fine?
Any ideas?
Thank you.

the strange thing is that mpeg streamclip doesn't play the sound neither. May be is a problem with the quicktime playback component?
Make sure it contains audio/what kind of audio by either looking at the "Audio PID" box under the Streamclip "Player" window or the "Show Stream Info" option under the file menu.

Media Playback Component - how do i close connection

I am using the media playback component to stream Mp3 files.
The rtmp files are loaded into my flash component from a database
and show up as click-to-play links. When the users click to play
them, I call stop on the playback component if it is currently
playing and then the playback component path is changed to the
clicked song and then told to play. When I run this as a Flash
Application everything is fine, however, when I preview on the web
or load onto the web it has problems.
On the Web:
1. Each time I click a link it makes a new connection to the
Media Server and does not close the old one.
2. The music either fails to play, stutters, plays both
streams, or plays for a while and quits.
3. I end up with one user taking up a bunch of streaming
licenses
From Flash:
1. Each time I click a link it closes the old connection and
makes a new connection.
2. The correct song plays without problems.
3. 1 User, 1 License
Does anyone have any thoughts? How do I explicitly close that
connection?

Write a stopMusic function that contains the code: "delete
yourMusic" where yourMusic is the name of your Sound Object. i.e.
var yourMusic:Sound;

Quicktime MPEG2 playback component

I've purchased and downloaded Quicktime MPEG2 playback component but I can not openend, the system says that Quicktime MPEG2.dmg is not recognized. Can anybody help me with this issue?. Thanks.

What app are you using to try and mount the image file? The default should be the DiskImageMounter.app application. If it is still the default app, then it sounds like the image file, the mounter app, or your system is corrupted. If not, then make it the default app for the DMG file class.

FLV Playback Component - specifying an image before it plays

I am using the FLV Playback Component to play a video.
Instead of playing automatically, I want to be able to set an image
(or a frame of the movie) to display and only play the movie after
the user clicks the play button. I can't find anything anywhere to
explain how to do this or a workaround for it. Can anyone point me
in the right direction? thanks.

Actually, I'm just trying to access the movie controls in the
FLV Playback component, so I can adjust how the work.
This does not work:
this.movie.forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)
Neither does this:
MovieClip(this.movie).forward_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,someFunction)

MPEG-2 Playback Component v6 no longer available for download

Hello, I purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component in June 2006. Due to a hard drive failure in my MacBook I returned to the store to redownload but my entire order history has been removed.
I just spent 30 mins on the phone to Robert in aftersales in the US and after discussion with his manager I have been told that Apple no longer host the version 6 component and that I should do an internet search to download the file as Apple no longer host this version.
Does anyone know where this may be hosted? Apple refused to suggest any sites.
This is strangely in conflict with this note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26574?viewlocale=en_US
+The Apple Store keeps track of your purchase(s) *and you can always download the file again if something goes wrong* by clicking "Your Account" in the store menu bar. After entering your Apple ID and password, click "Software Download Purchases."+
But just in case anyone has any qualms about downloading this component from a non-Apple source, I have just had verbal confirmation this is the only way to retrieve this purchase, short of repurchasing which I am not prepared to do.
Cheers
George

Hello, I purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component in June 2006.
Be advised that there are two versions of the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component that work under QT 6. You will need to specify which version of QT 6 you are using and/or whether or not the computer is an Intel based model.

Playback component to change dvd to dv.....

i recently purchased the pmeg2....installed it....but cant find it on my computer....has this happened to anyone else.......help........also when down loaded ,i got to options between types of quicktime....which do i use...i have updated version but not pro......

the mpeg2 playback component is well hidden in the innerts of your Mac's system/Quicktime architecture ...
it is no application...
after installing the component and relaunching your Mac, you need a 3rd party app, as the free (click here) Streamclip for demuxxing DVDs ...
open your DVD with THAT app, the mp2 component now allows SC to convert DVD into any wanted format, codec, whatever...
illustrated How-To on my site here:
http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/convertdvdstodvs
(the recommended Export settings on my site are for iMovie... change to your format...)
be nice to copy rights ...

QT7 and MPEG2 playback component - upgrade or purchase?

I upgraded to QT 7 but now I can't play back MPEG2. Is there an upgrade for the MPEG2 playback component or do I have to purchase a new copy?

If you moved up from version 6 then yes and you can get a free upgrade.
Log in at the Apple Store using the same account ID as your original purchase and click the downloadable software purchase link to see.

How can I get a loading animation to play while fly playback component loads a file?

Hi team,
Two part question here..
So I have a FLV playback component and a number of .flv files that it loads   ------> using video1.source="film/whatever.flv";
There is a slight delay while the file loads and so I would like to
A) make this pause a bit longer (it would be so fast at the moment that any loading animation would be subliminal, but with nothing at all you get a second of blank which is not good either- so if I can get it to be a bit longer, like say 2 seconds..
B) have an animation play while this happens..
It does not need to show progress or anything, just like a spinning wheel or whatever.
I have been playing around with bufferTime but not really getting anywhere..
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Here is a test with one flv player (video1) and two buttons (butt and butt1)
Ok so I have some code that kind of works using the countdown timer... but I obviosuly dont know why it works because if I change the seconds count down from 1 to 2 it only works once.
I get "working"
         "working" trace twice and it works
After that I get the "working" trace but nothing happens    ...    I am close but would really like to understand a bit more what I am doing!
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Solution to missing MPEG2 Playback component FOUND!

This solution is for those that have purchased Final Cut Studio HD, and then found the MPEG2 playback component mysteriously missing.
Well, from digging and digging around I found my answer. Check for the existence of /System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeMPEG2.component by using command + F (find function). If you find this file, and it's not properly placed in the /System/Library/QuickTime/ folder....then there is the problem. Simply copy and paste that file into the directory mentioned above..
I give credit for the idea to Apple Forums user Dave Jablinsky. Thanks a million!

Please mark this post and the other one you posted on the same subject as solved.

Do I still have the MPEG2 Playback Component?

I bought the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component about two years ago. I also bought QT Pro. I am currently in QT Pro 6.5. Using OS 10.3.9.
Does anyone know how I can find out if I still have the MPEG-2 playback component installed? I have reason to suspect the playback component is no longer functioning or installed, but I don't know where to look to find out.
I went to the Apple store>My Accounts. I saw it there, with a link to download it. When I tried the link I was taken to a page that said I should go to the Apple Store-My Accounts. No help there. Next day, I tried again, and now my account does not show anything.
Help?

It can be found in the HD/Library/QuickTime folder if installed for all users or in the "Home"/Library/QuickTime.
Current version is 6.3

MPEG2 Playback Component gone

Hi Folks-
I have posted this on the Quicktime forum, but thought there might
be more help here.
I have extracted from a DVD using Mac the Ripper (legally-
it's for a client who shot the original footage himself, and
built a DVD out of it). I have then opened MPEG Streamclip
to convert to QT so it can be edited in FCP. However, somehow
I have lost MPEG2 Playback component from QT Pro 7.1.3
(did I lose this when I upgraded from 6?). Am trying to DL from Apple
website, but even as I log in, Apple keeps screwing up my address
info (says I'm in US, when I'm in Canada) and won't let me check out.
A call to Apple and I hear that possibly MPEG2 Playback component
is now not available in Canada (!#@$@#).
Anybody have any experience with this cross border availability issue? Anybody have any suggestions for another workaround?
Did I lose MPEG2 Playback Component just by upgrading to 7.1.3?
(I know other things get lost when upgrading from 6 Pro to 7 Pro, but since MPEG2 Playback Component is an add-on, it didn't occur
to me that it would be lost...
Also- further to the above, I cannot play any m2v files on my box...
Thanks,

[(I know other things get lost when upgrading from 6 Pro to 7 Pro, but since MPEG2 Playback Component is an add-on, it didn't occur

Pretty sure everything from a Pro Key in 6 gets wiped out when going to 7, including add ons such as the MPEG Playback
What software are you running? Final Cut Studio? Playback component is included. Can you roll back your system? (Do you have a pre-QT 7 system back up?)
You can try backtracking your QT install, such as this one -

Apple Playback Component - Is There A Download Site?

Hello my friends
This may be old news, but I see that the latest version of Mpeg Stream Clip now requires that you pay $19.99 for the Apple Playback Component. Was wondering if this is a recent development/requirement from the older 1.6 version (which is a version I also have in my other Mac)?
Or perhaps this may go hand in hand with the Latest Quick Time Player Ver 7.6 (472)
I always did fine with Stream Clip 1.6 - made many successful conversions - but I believe these were all accomplished with an earlier version of Quick Time.
The other drawback to this requirement is that the only Apple Playback Component I found, requires you to get the software thru the mail - isn't there another site that will allow you to pay for a download? http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
Any comments?
Thank you
Mike

Hey Guys
Thanx for the replies
Here's what I just found out;
The older version I have is actually 1.8, and what I didn't realize, (as pointed out), you need to have FCP installed in your system drive to see/use/recognize all functionality of Streamclip.
I have two older G5's (both 1.8 with OS 10.4.11), and I use them both for multitasking. But, (at this point), I still need to install FC6 in the other G5. So for now, I don't even see a playback image when I open Stream Clip.

How do I re-download the mpeg 2 playback component that was purchased more than 18 months ago?

I wanted to check to see if I could re-download the installer for the QT MPEG 2 Playback Component, which I had purchased several years ago, but have since lost since I wiped my hard drive and upgraded my system to Leopard. I have a copy of the app from the backup I made of my old system, but just copying it over to the new Applications folder doesn't seem to do anything.
I went to check on my order history at the Apple Store to see if there was any indication I could re-download the installer. I logged into one of my Apple Store accounts (I have two, accidentally), but it had no order history for the past 18 months, and I couldn't look further back. I purchased the MPEG 2 decoder several years ago.
Not only that, but I could NOT logout in order to log in to my other account. If there's a logout button anywhere on any of the pages in my account I checked, it was very well hidden. WHERE IS THE FRIKKIN' LOGOUT BUTTON!!!???
I managed to log into my other account by switching to Firefox, but of course, it didn't have any purchase history past 18 months back.
How can I re-download the installer? I another thread, I saw someone mention re-downloading the decoder from the "Downloadable Applications Page in your account," but can't find anything like that in either of my accounts.
Thanks

I am suspecting Apple have made a change since I last had to do this and have caused a FUBAR. If you read http://store.apple.com/uk/help/downloads?mco=MTM3NDgzNTM we are all doing it the right way but the option is not being listed when it should.
As I read the above document and as I recall from the past, we should be seeing a Software download option on the main account page of the Apple webstore once you have logged in and this option should automatically be listed if your account has been previously used to purchase downloadable software.
I suspect either they have incorrectly cleared older than 18month order data from accounts rather than merely not giving an option to list older orders, or that as part of the move to the App Store for downloads they have change the process and as a result messed things up.
I would suggest the following to you all.
If possible find your email confirmation of the original order to use as evidence
Ring the Apple Store phone line
It is possible the Apple Store person will be able to see older orders than the website is allowing you to see and they will be able to trace your original order
They may choose to solve the problem by giving you a credit for a new purchase

Need a small media playback component

Is there anywhere i can get a small medit playback component
from? I want to put mp3s into my swf files but the current media
playback component is too big. Id prefer it if the play buttons
were to the left and the how much of the audio has been played is
to the right to create a strip. Want something with a max height of
about 50 px.

Why don't we start over and go step by step from the
beginning...
#1 - Create a project folder somewhere on your hard drive.
Name it. You will save your fla, swf, and mp3 files in this folder.
#2 - create new flash document.
#3 - save flash file to project folder.
#4 - drag MediaPlayback component to the stage.
#5 - open Component inspector. Click mp3 radio button. Place
name of mp3 file in URL field.
#6 - make sure mp3 is in project folder with fla file.
#7 - test movie.
That "should" work.
