[SOLVED] no webm video with mpv

For some reason I get no video playing vp8 encoded file with mpv. All other video formats play fine but with webm files I only seem to get audio playback and no video.
I reinstalled my system recently and webm files played fine before that, so I might be just missing some library that I don't know of. libvpx is installed and up to date though.
here's the mpv output
$ mpv Digital_Show_and_Tell-720p.webm
Playing: Digital_Show_and_Tell-720p.webm
Detected file format: Matroska
[stream] Video --vid=1 (vp8)
[stream] Audio (+) --aid=1 (*) (vorbis)
Video: no video
Selected audio codec: Vorbis [lavc:vorbis]
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
the video I'm trying to view can be downloaded here https://www.xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml
It also plays fine embedded in chromium.
any suggestions welcome

Firefox will not play WebM video encoded by Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8

A short video encoded to WebM using Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.0.48. Chrome and Opera play the HTML5 webm video with a problem. Firefox 10.0.1 and 11 just display a dimmed window with and "X" in the middle and will not load or play anything. Sorenson is a commercially proven product as confirmed by Chrome and Opera, so what gives with Firefox?

We have just completed our webm testing with Telestream's Episode Pro 6.2.1.1 and not surprisingly, the same results as Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.
Chrome, Opera and Safari browsers play HTML5 webm video as expected.
Firefox rigidly enforces the server .htaccess configuration to specifically state Mime Types, then it will/does work.

[SOLVED] Keybinding to rotate video in mpv

Many people take videos with mobile phones these days, and many mobile phones have a vertical orientation, which means many videos are sideways. I know I can fix this at the command line with "mpv --vf=rotate=1 filename.mp4" but...
Is there a keybinding for mpv to rotate a video during playback? Is it possible to create one in my "~/.mpv/input.conf" file?

Thanks, worked perfectly! I decided to make "~/.mpv/input.conf" like this:
# Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise
Alt+RIGHT no-osd vf add rotate=1
# Rotate by 90 degrees counterclockwise
Alt+LEFT no-osd vf add rotate=2

Watching CNN and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin [SOLVED]

I had a hell of a time trying to view CNN videos (http://www.cnn.com) and Yahoo videos with mplayer-plugin (firefox) and didn't seem to find any solutions in a forum search.
The following worked for me:
To get it working at all, I had to edit /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf and add/edit the following options:
noembed=1
To get smooth video and sound without choppy playback, I had to add/edit the following options to /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf:
cachesize = 1024
These value for cachesize will obviously vary depending on your internet connection. But, with my DSL/broadband connection, the default cachesize of 512 was for some reason resulting in *very* choppy playback. The cachsize of 1024 fixed everything.
I can now view CNN and Yahoo videos with no problem.
Just thought I'd share if anyone is having similar problems.

Thanks

WebM video seems to be broken

I just installed FF 4 on Mac OS 10.6.7 (current as of 2 days ago), and I can't get any Webm videos to play. This goes for the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0/firstrun/ main landing page], YouTube html 5 trial, and a number of other sites I tried.
On the Firefox first-run page, the content pane pops up with the poster image, but appears grayed-out with an "X" over it. On YouTube, the player shows a spinning icon (the same one as when a clip is normally loading) indefinitely and never actually plays. [http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html Here], too, I get nothing but a gray box with an "X."
Interestingly, [http://devfiles.myopera.com/articles/1891/sunflower-webm.html this bee] does play, but is extremely choppy, and [http://devfiles.myopera.com/articles/1891/custom-controls-webm-720p.html this trailer] actually plays beautifully.
A couple of important things:
1. This is Firefox-specific--oddly, I thought at first that it was affecting Chrome, too, but that's not the case now. Go figure.
2. I DID try this on a clean profile with an empty cache. After a reboot. No dice.
3. FWIW, I tried with the Mac OS firewall off--again, no difference.
Any help that anyone can offer will be much appreciated!
Danny

ok, two things you can try:
1) rerun the config wizard, let it install the Help collection/feature again. Rerun will not hurt but it will cause outage during the running period. if this is prod so plan accordingly.
2) if above did not work( i am sure it will).
follow these steps to directly install the help collections:
Click Start,
click Run, type cmd,
and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then
press ENTER:
cd %COMMONPROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\BIN
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then
press ENTER:
Hcinstal.exe /act InstallAllHCs /loc
1033
After you run the command, you are presented with a return code that informs you of the result of the operation:
•Return code 4 means that the operation was successful.
•Return code 32 means that no action was taken.
•Return code 256 means that the operation failed.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

How to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS

I am trying to record a time-limited video with Adobe AIR for iOS.
For example, I want to implement the following function. Start a one-minute timer before launching CameraUI to record video. When the timeout event happens after one minute, stop recording video, close the CameraUI view and obtain the video data so far.
I have several questions related to that.
1. How to stop recording video from outside the CameraUI view(in this case, from the timeout event handler) and then close the CemeraUI view? As far as I know, to close the CameraUI view, the only way is to press the [Use Video] button or the [Cancel] button from inside the CameraUI view. Is it possible to close it from outside?
2. Even if the first problem mentioned above is solved, then how can I get the video data so far(in this case, the video data before the timeout). I know that normally we can get a MediaPromise object from MediaEvent parameter of the complete handler, and read the video data from the MediaPromise object. But obviously in this case, we can not access the MediaPromise object just because the complete handler itself will not be executed since the [Use Video] button is not pressed.
3. Is it possible to add a stopwatch to show possible remaining recording time when CameraUI view is open? It seems that the CameraUI automatically uses the full screen of iOS device(in my case, iPad) and there is no extra space to show the stopwatch.
Are there any solutions or workarounds about the three problem above? I really appreciate it if anyone has any idea about this. Thanks in advance.

You'd have more control by using the Camera object, showing the camera on a video object inside a Sprite, and capturing that. Then you could put whatever graphics alongside it on the stage.. I've used FlashyWrappers in a test to capture the video to the library. It took some work, but the test worked well...

How can I put a video in my Ipad from my pc? (I made this video with another Ipad, but if send it with Imessage, the quality is worse, if i try to put this video in Itunes it don't read it)

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

Webm video stopped working in Firefox 4 and Chrome

Ok, evidently this just happened over night. I don't know what is going on, and after googling for hours, i'm not finding anyone else with the SAME issue.
My site uses the webm video and audio format. Today i woke up to find that it was no longer working*. Here's what's going on:
Example video:
http://thesocialexpo.com/?a=SMMM_Multimedia_Display&id=12984049790379189
Browser: Firefox:
The video will play, if you right click and select "play", but the video CONTROLS do not show up, unless you tell the video to go wide or full screen. If you mouseover the video element, you can see javascript errors in firefox's chrome module for the video element. The error is:
Error: this.video is null
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/videocontrols.xml
Line: 394
In the chrome component for the video element, that block of code is:
get dynamicControls() {
// Don't fade controls for <audio> elements.
var enabled = !this.isAudioOnly;
// Allow tests to explicitly suppress the fading of controls.
if (this.video.hasAttribute("mozNoDynamicControls"))
enabled = false;
// If the video hits an error, suppress controls if it
// hasn't managed to do anything else yet.
if (!this.firstFrameShown && (this.video.error || this.video.networkState == this.video.NETWORK_NO_SOURCE))
enabled = false;
return enabled;
Browser: Chrome:
The video player's controls show up, but it will not play AT ALL.
Browser: Opera:
Everything is fine.
Browser: Firefox on Windows:
Everything is fine.
The firefox build that i'm using is from the Remi repo.
I have done NO updates of my system in about a week, so that can't be it, as this was FINE yesterday.
My server is returning the correct mime type. I've rebooted my server, just in case, and it made no difference.
I've also checked out other webm video examples on the internet, and it seems like they won't play at all in firefox suddenly, but SOME of them DO play in chrome.
Chrome on windows: controls show up, but video doesn't work at all.

Import avi video with uncompressed PCM audio

I am unable to import into iMovie 10 or FCP X the audio portion of avi videos with uncompressed PCM audio. I just get the video and silence. They imported fine into previous versions of iMovie. Of course, I can use conversion programs to produce versions that import, but I have hundreds of hours of video in this format, so I would prefer not to have to do that. Is there a plug-in that would solve the problem?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens. But when I start recording both lights stay on. I can video with ambient using the look back lens. Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them? How is it done?
Thanks for the help.

Thank You! Problem solved. I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again. I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left. There I found the light control and other options.
I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder. Thank you again.

Why does my iTunes not play Videos with AC3 passthrough?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my iTunes on my Mac (recent iTunes, recent OS X). As the title says, I can't play videos, that contain AC3 Audio. If I try to play a video with AC3 in iTunes, it just doesn't start playing. When I jump to a later chapter, it just shows one still frame but it doesn't start playing. QuickTime plays every video without any problem. I tried it with (self-encoded) Full HD (1080p) and also SD videos.
QuickTime doesn't have any problem and also my 3rd Gen Apple TV streams the Video without any problem from iTunes... moveis I bought from the iTunes store also work without any problem in iTunes, as they all contain an AAC-Audio track. I didn't recognize that issue before I updated to Mountain Lion... or maybe to the latest version of iTunes.
Does anybody know what possibly is the reason for that and how to solve it? Thank you!

OK, I found another thread here, where my problem has already been solved. It works fine now. For everyone who got stuck on the same problem and finds my thread first, here's the solution, that helped me:
- download A52Codec.component
- move it to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ and replace the existing file
Best regards,
Michael

Itunes does not work when I want to play Mp4 videos with most recent versions

When I want to play videos with mp4 format on itunes, it does not do anything and I have to close itunes with the windows system manager. Does any one know how to solve this problem? I did not have this isue with 10.5 and previous versions of itunes.

I found the solution, the problem was the encoding of the configuration files.
I put:
=> Encoding: UTF8 without signature
=> line endings: UNIX(LF)
And now it works :)

Mute issues with mpv/cmus under alsa + pulse

Hi everyone!
I am having some weird issues with certain programs (noticed this in mpv and cmus) where they would mute themselves.
For example, cmus is often muted when it starts up and sometimes re-mutes itself when it changes songs (I couldn't find any kind of pattern here).
Similarly, when I have a video on loop in mpv, it is muted from the second time onwards (mpv was muting itself on startup too, but I specified mute=no in the config file).
This also happens when I have a video with chapters in different files - so, for example, there'd be an opening song to a series which is located in it's own file, which plays fine, but when it switches to the series file I have to unmute again.
I have teamspeak3 running alongside all the time, if that matters at all.
I am not sure what logs to post, if any.
Googling didn't really reveal an answer; I disabled the auto-mute setting in alsamixer, but that didn't help.
I'd be grateful for any help!

I unfortunately don't have the answer for your question, but thank you so much for the mute=no suggestion, I was at my wit's end until I tried that! I'm having the same mute issue as you (also using pulse). But mpc plays properly just fine.
