SMIL Plugin Example Doesn't Play Nested SequenceElements or ParallelElements

If you play the following SMIL file in the plug-in sample from Sprint 11 the first element is not played. No matter where you put the nested sequence the item never gets played. I know the intended functionality of the SMIL Plugin is to play nested sequences, yet it doesn't seem to work.

</smil>
I looked through the plugin source and was able to show that the nested seq was parsed out, but I'm not sure why the parent MediaElement doesn't play it.

I just wanted to point out the bug filed does not include the use case of nested parallel elements within a sequence. These, too, get ignored by the SMIL Plugin.

  • Problems with the SMIL-plugin

    I've played around a little bit with the SMIL-plugin and ran in to some problems that might be possible bugs. Hope somebody could shed some light on this.
    1. Adding the attribute clipBegin and/or clipEnd seems to be ignored in the creation of all elements in a dynamic streaming switch. This might even be ignored on a single video element, I haven't tried that out though. I have also tried to add the "s" (seconds) suffix in the time value, but according to the TimeUtil.parseTime comments a suffix such as "s" or "min" is not needed in the time value since seconds is the default value.
    Example code:
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta base="rtmp://domain/application" />
        </head>
        <body>
        <switch>
            <video src="mp4:ncode/video_7018_430" system-bitrate="430000" clipBegin="50" />
            <video src="mp4:ncode/video_7018_800" system-bitrate="800000" clipBegin="50" />
            <video src="mp4:ncode/video_7018_1200" system-bitrate="1200000" clipBegin="50" />
            <video src="mp4:ncode/video_7018_1800" system-bitrate="1800000" clipBegin="50" />
            <video src="mp4:ncode/video_7018_2400" system-bitrate="2400000" clipBegin="50" />
          </switch>
        </body>
    </smil>
    2. Just adding a video element without a swith throws an error:
    ERROR : error ID=1009 detail=Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    Thanks in advance!
    Daniel

    1. Looking at the code, I believe that clipBegin and clipEnd are not currently supported for dynamic streaming resources.  This seems like a bug, given that we support these attributes for non-MBR streams.  Can you file a bug?
    2. This is probably a bug too.  Can you post your SMIL file and/or file a bug?  Thanks!

  • .SWF doesn't play in website

    Hi, I am using Flash 5. I  need to save my flash .swf to play on a website. I went into Publish settings and selected Flash player 9 and Actionscript 3. I then exported the .swf and .html.
    Animation Doesn’t Play
    I then placed the .swf in Dreamweaver using Dreamweavers .swf plugin. When I previewed the page in my browser the sound played but the animation didn’t. What a I missing?
    Animation Play Button
    Also, can someone please tell me the best way to have my .swf not play until the user clicks’ play. Is there a setting to get a start arrow like a Quicktime mov.? or do I need to set it up myself?
    Thanks

    Does the html page that Flash publushed work okay?  USe the codee from that file if it does,  DW is not a reliable source for embedding Flash content.
    You will need to build in your own controls to have something clickable that plays the file.

  • Firefox doesn't play embedded swf

    I've looked on many forums, including Firefox, with no real answer. Running Firefox 4. It just doesn't play embedded SWF. My Adobe Flashplayer is up to date, so is the plugin. The page displays properly. But the area that should be displaying a movie is just represented by a tiny square. No error message appears. The same page doesn't show the movie in IE9 either.
    Now from looking at the page information, it just requires Flashplayer 6 and above for the SWF area. I do have Flashplayer 10. The plugin says Shockwave Flash player 10 is up to date. Many other pages with different types of embedded movies play properly.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Youtube has stop working properly, just goes to the end and doesn't play. Firefox ver. 30.0

    I've been using Youtube fine for years in Firefox but all of a sudden yesterday videos doesn't play right from Youtube in Firefox. The video tries to load for a bit then just goes to the end and if I click the play button it's stuck in endless loading.
    It seems to be only a Youtube plus Firefox related problem. Dailymotion and other flash videos from other websites loads right and I can load Youtube videos in Internet Explorer just fine.
    I've tried many methods in the search related threads here in the support section and they were of no help. I've uninstalled and reinstall Flash multiple times. I'm truly lost now on what to do here. I would like to continue using Firefox as my main browser.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Safari doesn't play video

    Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
    Please help.

    Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
    Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
    greets!

  • Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

    Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
    How can I fix it?

    Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html 
    The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
    Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
    They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
    but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
    In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
    If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
    Hope you find out what is causing it.
    Thanks,

  • Playing mp3 stream works well in Emulator but doesn't play on Device

    Okay.. First a big thanks!!
    I've resolved the path issues and am now experimenting with formats other than SCORM that will hopefully launch off our LMS (SyberWorks).
    I think I know what a cross domain issue is... it seems pretty self evident, (ie) .htm/.swf files live on a different server domain than video or audio files.
    I think all my files are on the same domain in the zip file. However, are the following paths also an example of a cross domain issue?:
    Z:\orgs\ogslp\courses\2012videotest\videotestinternalsrvr\videotestinternalsrvr.htm
    (this is where I upload, or publish Captivate files)
    http://gslcampus/ogslp/courses/2012videotest/videotestinternalsrvr/videotestinternalsrvr.h tm
    (this is where clients access the training modules via IE & the Syberworks LMS, intranet)
    One more..... when publishing with the Captivate > Internal Server option what path do I input to access the server?
    Z:\orgs\ogslp\courses\2012videotest\videotestinternalsrvr\videotestinternalsrvr.htm
    (backdoor for uploading files)
    or
    http://gslcampus/ogslp/courses/2012videotest/videotestinternalsrvr/videotestinternalsrvr.h tm
    (actual internal, intranet url for accessing courses)
    PS when I upload files the following appears before the Z:
    Computer > SyberWorks (\\sousa)(Z:)
    Any advice would be appreciated - thanks for your time.

  • Firefox after updating to 37.0.1 doesn't play yahoo news videos ?

    After updating to 37.0.1 yahoo news videos are not playing. Youtube/msn videos are working. It did not have this issue before this 37.0.1 update. I tried deleting history, cache etc. completely but it did not help.
    I tried the steps described in

    I did reset firefox. It started working but annoyed with pop-up adds. I installed Ad Blocker. It stopped working.
    It look like Firefox 37.0.1 does not like some of the add_ons/plugins installed on previous version.
    How do I block pop_up adds, malware, tracking etc in Firefox 37.0.1 ?
    Why does some videos are working and other are not?
    Thanks for helping.

  • "Stubru" doesn't play in rhythmbox

    Hello,
    Recently I installed gnome 3.8 and rhythmbox. I can play my entire music library without a problem and also the predefined shoutcast streams work fine. I would however like to listen to "Studio Brussel", a belgian radiostation. They offer a stream: http://mp3.streampower.be/stubru-high.mp3 . When I try to play it in rhythmbox, nothing happens. No error but also no music. I can play the stream using mplayer without a problem. When I try to play the stream on a ubuntu 13.04 installation on the same machine (dualboot) it also fails.
    The archlinux wiki page on rhythmbox advises to a.) install gstreamer0.10-base-plugins-gnomevfs, which seems obsolete now as rhythmbox uses gstreamer1 now (right?) and b.) to install the grilo and grilo-plugins packages, which I did. The stream still doesn't play. Also, it seems te me this is more to be able to browse streams (instead of play them). The stream also fails when I try to open it in totem. I would therefore suspect a problem with gstreamer, but do not know how to investigate this further.
    Now, I would like to know if anybody else can play this stream (which makes it a problem with my particular installation) and if it is a gstreamer problem, how I can investigate it further.
    Regards,
    Rolf
    PS Most other streams I try to add also won't play (but some will!). I haven't found out what is common in the streams that will or will not play. The streams that do play are ogg streams and not mp3

    Nevermind. Seems to be some upstream bug. Will just have to wait until it lands in arch I suppose. See also these Ubuntu 13.04 bug/question:

  • Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6

    I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hello Tia,
    iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
    What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
    Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
    Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
    hope this helps

  • Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet with Google Tv/play

    Flash Player Doesn't Play on Some Websites. I can see the play button and volume etc but selecting play doesnt do anything on some websites. I have the NSZ-GS7 Sony Internet Player with Google Tv/Google Play. I installed the latest firmware and I believe it carries Flashplayer 10.2.164.113
    I can only watch some programs on au.tv.yahoo.com/plus7 . This website supports Flashplayer 10+ and also supports Google Play. So I do not understand why I cant watch. Do I just need to change some settings?
    Also, cant watch on www.jump-in.com.au/ and I can see a still image of the video, i can see the big play button in the middle but selecting it will not do anything.
    Please help

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. Alteast you were able to give me a more educated answer. Unlike Sony Tech Support.
    I typed chrome://plugins" in the address bar but that didnt do anything and just gave me blank white screen.
    I did manage to get into the settings for Google Chrome another way and found the Plugins window but there was no option to "Always Allow". The only option I had was to either Enable or Disable.
    I read something somewhere about changing a setting for the Unsandboxed plugin to "Always Allow". But I havent been able to get to this plugin in the setting options in Chrome.
    Looks like I will be returning the product and getting myself an Apple TV device instead and use my Iphone to Airplay.
    Thanks

  • Media played with Quicktime doesn't play! Help please!!

    I recently got a new iPod nano, and had to update my iTunes. Since I've done this, Quicktime hasn't been functioning properly.

  • ITunes doesn't play the next song, it just stops after one track.

    I have iTunes 11.0.1. When I play a song in my playlist, I expect the next song to start as the first one ends, but iTunes stops and doesn't play the next song. I'm missing some sort of setting but what?
    It's not a smart playlist, just a playlist of favorite music I've built up over the years.
    Mountain Lion.

    Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
    Hope this helps.
