Poster Image in Strobe Player: Must it be a Bitmap Image?

Hello,
Quick question: must the poster image be a bitmap image in the Strobe and Flash players in OSMF? I would like to use .jpg images because the quality is much better, etc. When I try to create an image in Photoshop and convert it to a bitmap, the quality is very degraded and must be in black and white.
Thanks so much.
Jim

Thanks very much for the reply. I had uploaded a .gif, which didn't work, then went into the documentation and saw it written that poster images were bitmap images and assumed that meant that I need to use a bitmap in order for it to work.

How can I get rid of strobe player error messages?

Can someone please tell me where I can go in the source to get rid of the error messages I keep seeing in the Strobe player such as 'Error #2032' prior to a live stream and 'Stream not found' once the live stream is done?. These error messages are annoying our customers and we need help getting rid of them.
Thanks,

We solved this problem by changing the source code. There is a function named alert() which prints the messsage to the screen. We comment out it and then compiled again. http://osmf.org/dev/osmf/specpdfs/building-osmf.pdf here is specification for compiling strobe player. In addition to these there is an option to pass the player 'verbose'. 'verbose:false' closes Error codes, but prints explanations.

Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?

Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?
Because in some cases, let's say, night scene, usually has many black pixels in the sky. Which perform nice contrast against the colorful signs.
Please check the attached image for reference(01.tif).
I know there's nothing in the sky, so I would like to keep all the pixels to be clipped. Is this right?
Some of my students says that other instructors told them to keep all the pixels in the histogram.
But I tell them it depands on how would you like your images to show. Am I correct?
As the attached image, it's impossible to pull the black pixels back to the histogram and I think it's acceptable in this case.
Let's see the 2nd case(02.tif), this image has highlight clipping in the clouds.
I like the way this image looks, which looks like a watercolor painting.
If I pull the white pixels back, the image will change a lot and I will get a very dark overall.
My question is, is it that important to keep your images without having highlight or shadow clipping?
This is not apply to any image, right???
THANK YOU

For a more in depth discussion of clipping, it should be noted that clipping can occur in either the raw file or the rendered white balanced file. In the latter, it can take the form of luminosity clipping or saturation clipping. Saturation clipping occurs when the chosen color space is too small to accommodate saturated colors at a high luminance. In ACR, saturation clipping is indicated by a colored line or shoulder at the right of the histogram. The remedy is to use a larger color space. Luminosity clipping in ACR is indicated by a white line or shoulder at the right of the histogram and the remedy is to adjust exposure or use highlight recovery.
Examination of the OP's histogram shows a yellow line at the right, indicative of saturation clipping of the red and green channels. The OP could try a wider space such as ProPhotoRGB.
Here is an image of a a flower rendered into sRGB using the ACR defaults and the Adobe Standard camera profile. It appears overexposed and the yellows (actually reds and greens) are clipped as indicated by the yellow line at the right of the histogram.
The raw histogram (produced by Rawnalize) shows that the image is well exposed. The red and green channels are just short of clipping. The image appears overexposed with ACR, since ACR uses a baseline exposure offset for the Nikon D3.
However, when white balance is applied for this daylight exposure, the red channel is multiplied by approximately 2.21, and this should result in clipping of the red channel. This did not work exactly as expected with ACR, so I used Iris (a freeware astronomical program which allows extensive control of the conversion process) and examined the histogram of the resulting image in Photoshop. Note that the green channel is just short of clipping, as expected and that the red channel is clipped.
To avoid clipping with the white balance in ACR, it is necessary to use negative exposure to offset the red white balance multiplier. I chose to use a bit of highlight recovery as well to tone down the highlights while maintaining a pleasing value for the midtones. Here is the resulting preview with rendering into ProPhotoRGB.
In this case, I was able to avoid clipping. However, when the image is printed or viewed on a display with a limited gamut, some clipping would undoubtedly occur.

Help: Strobe Player: Live DVR stream resetting to start vs Live point

Update: 11/27 23:00-
The version of the strobe player we are using is the most current version-
I tested my smil file with a stock strobe player tied dirctly to the akamai CDN - the VBR is working correctly but I still have an intermittent issue when loading/refreshing the page. The player will reset to 16 seconds into the stream vs the live (current) point.
We stripped back to the stock strobe player removing any additional code that my have been causing the issue.
The SMIL file playing within a standard OVP player using the DVR and VBR feature works without issue. It will reset to the live point upon launch/refresh with out issues.
We have opened a ticket with Adobe as it now appears the issue is with the strobe player. But if anyone has any insights/experience with this issue.
All help is appreciated-
I am working with the strobe player that accomodates a Live DVR with Variable streams (1000-400kbs) My issue is when the page is refreshed a few times the player will reset to the begining of that days DVR vs the live point. This hit or miss nature is very frustrating.
If I strip out the VBR feature it will function - but this is not an option for deployment.
I have also confirmed my manifest file with Akamai and it checks out along with my smil file-
Testing:
The behavior is across all browsers and OS-
I have tested the feed with and without the VBR and it behaves with the same hit or miss rate.
I have stripped out all extra coding on the site to eliminate possible issues.
I have tried to force the seek point well past any time that could exist in the DVR feed with out sucess.
One other oddity - the DVR feed will always start at 16 seconds in- that may be a unrealted
Has anyone else seen this behavior/found a solve.

Hi,
Please raise an issue with more details at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM.
For example, please write what type of delivery (rtmp or hds), provide replication steps (an example on how to set it up), state whether you're live or in dvr. A code snippet would help, as well.

How to place a still image for Flash Player for a website

Hello,
I have CS3 suite and am using Dreamweaver and Flash for a new project. I am working on a website and would like to have small flash movies on several different pages. I would like to know how to get a still image in flash player before the user clicks the movie so that they will not see a black box on the pages before and after they click the movie. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html
After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
Hope that helps,

Hello,I need help.ipad 3 does not support flash media player.which player must I download instead of flash media player?

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Using a script to get the color of a colorized Black & White Bitmap image

I've been running into this wall for quite some time and would greatly appreciate any help that can given for it.
I have an Illustrator script that runs inside of a BridgeTalk session within an InDesign script. Yeah, it's complicated. The upshot is that the Illustrator part opens up an EPS file, looks through all objects on a certain layer in that file, and returns an array of the colors used in it. So, it looks at fill colors, stroke colors, gradient stops, etc. One of the biggest stumbling blocks (next to PlugIn Items, which I'll ask about in a separate post) is getting the color of raster images.
Most raster images, I realize, are going to be CMYK or RGB images, but our company mostly deals with either Grayscale images or Black & White Bitmaps that are embedded in the EPS file. Those two allow the ability to colorize them by simply selecting them and then choosing a color, such as a spot PANTONE color from one of their color books.
Now, I need the script to read the color that the raster image has been colorized with. This works okay for images that have a GrayScale color space, as the script just looks at Colorant[0] of that image. However, I run into a problem with Black & White Bitmap images. Here's a piece of code that I try to make work with an EPS file that has a raster image:
var document = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < document.layers[0].pageItems.length; i++) {
          // Stepping through each item on the layer.
          var currentItem = document.layers[0].pageItems[i];
          $.writeln("Current item is " + currentItem.typename);
          $.writeln("Number of channels is " + currentItem.channels);
          $.writeln("Color Space is " + currentItem.imageColorSpace);
          $.writeln("Colorized Grayscale? " + currentItem.colorizedGrayscale);
          $.writeln("Number of Colorants: " + currentItem.colorants.length);
          for (var j = 0; j < currentItem.colorants.length; j++)
                    $.writeln("Colorant number " + j + " is " + currentItem.colorants[j]);
          $.writeln("Its parent is " + currentItem.parent);
          $.writeln("Parent's typename is " + currentItem.parent.typename);
This code runs successfully on an Illustrator file that has a Black & White Bitmap image on the top layer, but if you try and run it, you'll see the problem: Even if you've colorized your Bitmap image with a PANTONE spot color (and the script even returns "true" on the line "Colorized Grayscale?"), Colorant number 0 is "Gray". It should be the spot color assigned, not "Gray".
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the script to recognize the actual colorant of a Black & White Bitmap image in Illustrator?

If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

Ghost copy of a bitmap image showing up in the corner of my game

Hi, I have a solitaire game. There's a bug that only shows up in Windows, not Mac. When a player moves a card from one pile to another, a copy of the card image shows up in the left corner and stays there until the player moves another card. When the player moves the mouse over the image the image erases.
here is the game: http://www.tnt.tv/games/charmedspellcaster/
Thanks!

Hey DJ, I've seen this before on mac when using drags,
I would assume 1 of two things, if your using global to Local i would suggest using a difference reference to get the area to draw the card's point to.
That or you are not disposing of the image and its refusing to be cleared.
I would suspect the first one being that you said it only happens on pc.

Scanning: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.

Good Day.
I have recently discovered an issue with scanning. I have tried scanning straight from the printer, through image capture, and through preview. All yeilding the same results since they are essentailly kicking off the same scanning applet. I can scan a jpeg formatted file as long as I applet is in the "Hide Details" mode. If I click on the "Show Details" button, which I need to do to scan to PDF, I immediately receive an error stating: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.
I'm currently using an HP C5180 printer.   The most recently installed software was Adobe Digital Editions (I installed this to read an on-line e-book). Not sure if there is any correlation.    Thanks for any help.

Hello Sig
The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this. I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago. The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.
