[SOLVED]OSSv4.1 and Firefox 3.5 video/audio tag

Was wondering if there is anyone else out there who is using OSS that has a problem where audio doesn't play in Firefox 3.5rc2 with html5's video tag.
I'm not sure how to get this working.
thanks

Sorry, I figured it out. Here's how I did it:
I installed alsa-plugins
then after searching the OSS forums found a way to gain OSS audio out of ALSA only programs with this:
cat > /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type oss
device /dev/dsp
ctl.!default {
type oss
device /dev/mixer
Then hit CTRL+D and restart oss (or restart system): /etc/rc.d/oss stop - /etc/rc.d/oss start ..
Cheers.

Once and for all: is video/audio chat from Mac to PC using MSN possible?

I've read all the posts, and all the jabber guides, and Mercury stuff, and it all seems like a huge hassle. I have a friend overseas who uses MSN (like EVERYONE overseas). he has a pc (again, like everyone overseas since Macs are 2x as expensive over there) with a webcam. I have AIM, MSN, and Yahoo accounts. I run Adium, and I can text with him but no vid or audio options are there. so, simply put, why is this so darn difficult? I suppose if we both had skype, that would be one solution. here are my questions:
- why is there no audio or video in adium? (if there's a post on their site that I should have read, forgive me)
- why doesn't MSN messenger for the Mac support audio and video?
- does jabber really allow AV chat using the MSN protocol? (once the 15 or so setup steps are completed)?
- is there, or will there be, a simple solution to this?
I have many, many friends both in the US and overseas, and all my friends overseas have PCs and MSN and webcams, and I have a very advanced MacBook, and I can't communicate with them the way I should be able to.
thanks! and I apologize if any of this has been covered in other posts, but I wanted to get it all down in one place.

Hi
i would say use Skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
aMSN and Mercury only do video no audio, these are the only 2 progams that do video on the MSN network.

Hi,
Error 7 is when a router or the connection to the router is broken in some way.
Some devices have features such as Denial Of Service protection (DoS) that cut a particular Internet Port when it thinks too much data is coming (Presuming it is an attack.)
iChat 5 in Leopard is not capped by the System Preferences > Quicktime Streaming speed (which we used to suggest was set at 1.5Mbps)
It now sees your whole Connection speed and your Upload may be much faster than this.
Your Download is likely to be much faster. However iChat will tend to operate at the lower figure of your Upload.
DoS features are threshold based.
You may now be bumping in to this Threshold where you were not before.
SPI (Stateful packet Inspection) does a different job but has the same effect when it is overloaded by the speed of the data.
If you have either of these features, turn them Off (Disable them)

Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!
Jay from the Bronx

I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.

RTMP video/audio format

Hi,
I'm trying to make a software which sends video and audio data to a flash media server by using RTMP protocol.
Currently, my program can communicate with a flash media server correctly.
RTMP specifications does not describe about the raw data in video/audio messages, so I muxed raw H.264 and AAC data into video/audio messages and sent to the server.
The server seems to accept them, but a video player cannot playback the stream sending from the server. The player just says "Loading..."
For a test purpose, I sniffed the network packets between Wirecast and the flash media server and ripped off only video and audio data. Then, I muxed those data into video/audio message and sent to the flash media server. In this case, the video player connected to the server can playback the stream correctly.
I checked the stream sent from Wirecast, the stream seems not to be H.264 raw data because those data are not started from 0x17 instead of H.264 start code.
With those situation, I am wondering what kind of container format I should use for H.264/AAC data to the flash media server.
Does anyone have idea?

Hi NpComplete, Thank you for your answer.
Hmm, No. I muxed raw H.264/AAC stream into rtmp video/audio messages and divided into rtmp chunks, then send to the server.
The problem is that the stream in rtmp video/audio messages is NOT usual raw H.264/AAC data.
It seems to be muxed data for FLV video/audio which is described in FLV specs. And, the rtmp specs does not mention about it at all.
flv specs: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flv/
rtmp specs: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/
I am still reverse-engineering the Wirecast stream to find out what kind of muxing format it is. Because it is seemingly FLV video/audio muxed data, but also it seems to be little bit different from them.
Also, thank you for telling about FMS/rtmp sdk, but I didn't notice that before implementing rtmp protocol into my program.
And, I already implemented rtmp protocol into my program correctly, so the problem is only data which are inside rtmp video/audio message.
Even so, just in case, I'll contact to adobe to get the SDK. =)
Do you know about the muxing format inside rtmp video/audio message for H.264/AAC?
Thanks,

[solved] Html5 video, Lighttpd and Firefox

Hi,
I installed Lighttpd because we need a simple httpd for sahring files and static content.
I want to use the new html5 <video> tag with ogg+theora video (see http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_e … /test.html ). I cannot make it work through Lighttpd and firefox though. My simple html file is: http://paste.lighttpd.net/867 and my config file is http://paste.lighttpd.net/866 (note that I added these mime-types which were absent of the default config file:
".ogx" => "application/ogg",
".ogv" => "video/ogg",
".oga" => "audio/ogg",
".mp4" => "video/mp4",
".m4v" => "video/mp4",
".m4a" => "audio/mpeg",)
If I load the page through Chromium, the video plays.
I am able to play the video in firefox only if I set <source src="" /> to be hosted somewhere else, for example here: http://tinyvid.tv/vfe/big_buck_bunny.ogv I can also see the video here http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_e … /test.html under firefox just fine. It's just firefox+lighttpd that does not work.
Is something wrong with the configuration file? Something special needs to be set?? Thanx for your help.
I'm running Lighttpd 1.4.26 from extra on the server, and firefox (Namoroka) 3.6 and Chromium (not Chrome) built from svn 5.0.318.0 (38103) on client.
My best guess would be that Lighttpd is confused with mime types, which then confuses firefox...
Anyone has an idea?
Thanx

I tried on another computer running Arch too and firefox was working!!
Both are firefox 3.6-2

I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
I watch the youtube videos online.
How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
* checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
* extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
* or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
* Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-youtube-videos/

Quicktime won't play audio correctly in IE and Firefox

It just get's stuck and seems to have a hard time processing the audio part of the video, and if I move cursor to later in the video it takes forever to load. This problem just started recently and appears in both internet explorer and firefox meaning it shoudln't be the browsers fault. Itunes works fine but apparently quicktime is having the same problem outside of internet applications as well.
I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I deleted the whole quicktime folder after a few tries and also tried installing a new version. None of these seem to have done the trick. Any help appreciated.

Not sure if all FF versions are the same. In v1.5.0.11:
FF>Preferences>Downloads
Click on the "View & Edit Actions" button.
The next window should show if your browser QT plug-ins are installed.
I do not know how FF v2.x preferences are set up.
If push comes to shove, you may wish to try out Michelle Newcomb's suggestions or the following:
See if repairing permissions & restarting helps. If not..........
Try the following:
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
Good luck!

I have mac pro and firefox 3.0.19
I am trying to download a video from youtube.?
I can see the video. I want to download it and save in my computer to see it again.
I have download helper. While the 3 red,blue,and yellow sphere are turning, It gives me the choice of place to save,and when I click and choose desktop , for example, this message comes ."Conversion requires an external application that appears to be missing on your system. Configure conversion ?
When I click on okay, another page comes, which says" converter and a box next to it . in the box is written FFMpeg. but I can change it to MEncoder. In another box, says configure conversion rules. When I click on it, nothing happen.Thanks for your help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I want to download a video from youtube

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

I subscribe to Acorn TV. I am unable to stream their videos. I have no problem with Hulu, iTunes, Netflix. I have spoken with Acorn and have tried Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but nothing works. I am using a MacBook OS 10.6.8 and Firefox 3.6.12

I am a premium subscriber to AcornTV. I have been unable to stream video on my home MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8) using Firefox 3.6.12. I can easily stream Hulu, iTunes, Netflix, etc, but NOT AcornTV. I have tried the AcornTV player on Safari, Chrome and Firefox, nothing works. I use Time Warner High Speed internet at home, and they claim the problem is on Acorn's end, which Acorn denies. The biggest frustration is that I CAN stream Acorn videos on my office iMac desktop, using the same OS and same version of Firefox (we have our own server at work, though).

I'm watching it right now on Firexfox, but it's on a Dell, not a Mac. Have you tired watching it on a Chrome or IE browser instead of Firefox? And does it work on those browsers?
You should continue to follow up with Acorn TV - email [email protected] and you will get help, from the CTO, if necessary. Also, they now have a diagnostic page built that can analyze your computer and it will give them more information about your system. So, if you haven't tried in two months, it might be worth trying again.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
my firefox is the most current version.
my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
============================
this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.
