Problems playing flash v2 files with JMF 2.1.1

Hello,
I'm having troubled playing a flash version 2 file. I have a simple player that is able to play any file supported by the JMF api but flash.
Somebody can helped me, please?
Thanx!

I wouldn't spend much time worrying about it. Flash 2 is a dead format, and neither Sun nor Macromedia have any strong interest in providing updated support.

Play sdp file with JMF

Hi,
I have a Darwin Streaming Server(DSS) running on a machine, that reflects several broadcasts from other machines (I'm broadcasting to the DSS with JMF).
I can see all the videos and audio without any problem with Quick Time, but I can't find a way to play the sdp files with jmf. I've searched the web for jmf and sdp, and there isn't much information, i've also tried to play with JMStudio..no luck. In the JMF solution there aren't any samples for SDP files....
If I can't find a way to do it, I'll use Quick Qime 4 Java, the only problem is that there isn't a linux implementation :(
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
ANeto

Hi,
I have read all the mails on the JMF interest group regarding the Broadcaster and DSS.
Well i too am trying to do a similar application. This is an Application
Casting program basically to share my desktop with the other person sitting
across the network using my client. And in order to multicast this, i am
looking at using Darwin Streamng Server.
The whole idea here is that i break the desktop image up into frames and
then compress them and then send it over, protocol used here is TCP/RTP/UDP.
I am trying to hit this stream of packets to DSS so that it can be accessed
else where over the internet. I'm trying to under stand the basic
authentication mechanism DSS uses, so that i can create the .sdp file and
transfer it over to the DSS, which can further be accessed by any client
that can understands sdp.
As i read in the mail some of you were able to create the .sdp file with your custom built boradcaster and send it to DSS if i am not wrong.
I have tried this with Mpegable Broad caster as you said.
Now the problem i had was to create .sdp file with my application and push it to the DSS.
So have you made some kind of a documentation or can you give me an idea as
to how i can go about this. Or it will be even better if you can share the code with me.

Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo...... the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface. But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently..... it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

Compressing the wav file with JMF

Hi Guys,
Any one of you know about how to compress a wav file with jmf.Please its very urgent.
Thnaks
Jast

Specify a compressed encoding for the audio output format. You'll have to enumerated the supported formats on the output track to finds out what's available to you. In Windows, JMF should be able to use the available system codecs. First try transcoding a wave file in JMStudio to see what works.

Play .3gp-files with JMF (jffmpeg)

Hello,
for a MMS-Application I'm trying to show 3gp-files with Java. I heard that it should work with jffmpeg but I still couldn't get it to work.
I added the Codec:
String JFFMPEG_VIDEO = "net.sourceforge.jffmpeg.VideoDecoder";
try {
    Codec video = (Codec) Class.forName(JFFMPEG_VIDEO).newInstance();
    PlugInManager.addPlugIn(JFFMPEG_VIDEO,
            video.getSupportedInputFormats(),
            video.getSupportedOutputFormats(null),
            PlugInManager.CODEC);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}and then started the player.
It already works for mpg-Videos, but if the file-extension is .3gp the player throws a javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for : file://C:/test.3gp
When I change the file-name to test.mpg the player initializes but doen't show a picture.
How can I register the 3gp-extension? Or is anything else missing?
Thanks in advance for any hint :-)

I still didn't get it to work as I need it, but I made some progress so far:
Instead of jffmpeg I used the FOBS for JMF Package (http://fobs.sourceforge.net/index.html) in addition with the JMF.
Using this package allows you to play a 3gp-Video in Swing that is stored in your filesystem (!).
I'm still having two problems with this solution:
- I use a Java Webstart-framework and can't acces the user's harddisk, so I need to play the 3gp-Videos directly from memory (they are stored as byte[] in a database), but the current version of FOBS is limited to 3gp-Playback only from filesystem.
- Each user of the application has to download and install JMF and FOBS for their OS (system-specific libraries). Especially FOBS is not always very easy to install, because it needs to change some of the jmf.properites. This can not be done with the JAR-distribution-System of WebStart and I'm expecting problems, when the users try to install both packages on their own.
If you are developing a plain Swing-Application you might be satisfied with the possibilities of FOBS and JMF.
Good luck :-)

Play rtpdump files with jmf

hello,
I am trying to play a file created with rtpdump (or etheral) directly with jmf. I don�t know, how to create valid datasource and processor objects for a file with stored rtp-packets. Is there a possibility? Do I have to write an own demultiplexer f�r this rtp-dump format? Especially this RTP packets uses the H.263 format.
Maybe there exists a code fragment for this problem.
thanks a lot for your help

Problem playing an swf file created in Bridge

Hello everyone
I have created an web gallery using Bridge and tried playing a swf file containing the slideshow with no luck. When I double-click the file, it open an Adobe Flash Player window but a spiral appears at the centre and just keeps turning. Because my intention is to upload the swf file to a website, I really need to get the file to play the slideshow.
Has anyone succeeded in making a standalone swf file using Bridge or any other Adobe product? If so, please let me know how to.
Thank you,
Pom

Henk,
I'm not on 3.0 so I can't help you out, but I would suggest re-posting on the Enterprise Administration portion, perhaps it'll get more notice there for a resolution.
Thanks,

Ipod Touch: Does it have problems playing Apple Lossless files?

Hi All
This might sound like a strange question to some of you but considering the hassles I am having with the 120gb classic it isn't.
To make a long story short my 120gb classic cannot play Apple Lossless files properly. Essentially they crash the ipod because the files are too large. I have done some research and on many forums people are experiencing the same problem.
I do find it quite offensive that Apple do not have the courage to admit this is a problem but there is nothing I can do about it.
So my solution is to get rid of my 120gb classic and move to a Sony or Cowon player (still doing research to make sure they can handle lossless (not apple) files).
However i really do love everything else about the ipod so I would love to find a way to keep it.
I figure maybe the new ipod touch's might not have this problem because they are solid state and if that is the case then I can stump up for one of those and keep with the ipod brand.
Does anyone know if the Touch's can deal with these large files? Apparently the problem with the old 120gb classics was the small 64mg cache. Hopefull the Ipod touch doesn't have this issue.
Anyway any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eddie

If I went with an Ipod touch it would be a newer so I guess it would have the newest OS on it.
I'll wait awhile longer and do some more research before I take the plunge because I do not want to get ripped off like I did with the 120gb Classic.
Thanks for the reply though. At least it is leading into the right direction!

Problems syncing Apple Lossless Files with iphone 3.0 and 3.1.

I recently started having problems with syncing apple lossless files with my iPhone 3G. They were recording I made using Logic Pro and the same as have been working with no problem since I got my iPhone last year. Although the songs would play and indicate the correct total time in iTune, on the iPhone they would indicate a total time of over 2 hours even though they were 2-3 minute long. The same files converted to mp3 did not have this problem. Since updating to iTunes 9 and 3.1 on the iPhone, the problem is worse. The Apple Lossless format files do not show up on the iPhone at all even though they are fine in iTunes. mp3 format do not have this problem.
Anyone else having the same issues?

Hi Allen,
I would like to thank you very much for your help with Forte 3.0 and WTK 1.0.1 beta.
Thank you for the pointing me to the ForteJ2MEGuide.pdf file. It is very useful document.
However, even following it I did not succeeded in accomplishing my task.
I was able to follow the instructions and create, compile and run the Hello midlet which
was generated by the IDE. My previous problem related to the fact that I did not create
project and midlet suite for the midlet. After doing all of that the generated midlet worked. However, it was not what I wanted.
First, the instructions in the guide only described how to generate new midlet. I tried
to add the existing midlet to the current project. Unfortunately, the IDE always picked
up the generated template, not my code.
Second, when the generated midlet started to work, it was difficult to debug it. I set
up the breakpoint, but the IDE did not stop at it. I think the reason is the compiler
did not have debugging flag set up. Do you know where it is possible to set it up?
So, at the end I still cannot accomplish very simple task which should not be very
difficult at all:
1. Use my own code to create a midlet.
2. Compile and execute the midlet and see how it runs in emulator.
3. See step-by-step execution of every line of my code and the value
of every variable in the code.

Jacob Nikom

Playing a music file with QuickTime

I am new to QuickTime programming. I am using Quick Time Version 7.4.5 on Windows Vista. I am simply trying to play a music file as a movie, no video. It successfully creates the movie object and the control displays but no music is played. I am using QTOControl (COM libraries for use with .net) for Windows. Can anyone tell me what I am missing in the below code snippet?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using QTOControlLib;
using QTOLibrary;
namespace WindowsApplication2
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
string errMsg = "";
try
axQTControl1.ErrorHandling = (int)QTErrorHandlingOptionsEnum.qtErrorHandlingRaiseException;
axQTControl1.URL = "C:\\path to music file.m4a";
axQTControl1.CreateNewMovie();
if (axQTControl1.Movie != null)
axQTControl1.Sizing = QTSizingModeEnum.qtMovieFitsControl;
axQTControl1.Movie.AutoPlay = true;
axQTControl1.MovieControllerVisible = true;
axQTControl1.Movie.Play(1.0);
catch (COMException ex)
// catch COM exceptions from QT control
errMsg = "Error Code: " + ex.ErrorCode.ToString("X") + "\n";
QTUtils qtu = new QTUtils();
errMsg += "QT Error code : " + qtu.QTErrorFromErrorCode(ex.ErrorCode).ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
// catch any exception
errMsg = ex.ToString();
if (errMsg != "")
string msg = "Unable to create movie:\n\n";
msg += errMsg;
MessageBox.Show(msg, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}

Open the activity window while the MP3 plays. You will see it (Xbytes of Ybytes incrementing higher). Double click on it. Winds up in your downloads folder and you probably have to rename it.
You can often right click on embedded video and the save as source/as quicktime is there as well.
You can set preferences to open Quicktime in a player vs. embedded (which is what I do) and then you can saveas in the player window.

How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

     My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing. I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop. Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page. What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that: The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up.
     I am also having trouble defining my site locally. I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
     I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
HELP

from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
" Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."
