Starting Video based on Time in Browser

Hi all,
I am working on a project where I need to start playing my
Flash video when the time in the browser says so-and-so
hours,minutes,seconds,milliseconds. I have written a servlet and
deployed it to a server so that the browser displays the time in
this format(hhmmssSSSS)
http://visclass.ucsd.edu:8080/KedarDate/DisplayDate
I want some help(I'm a novice) to get started on making the
Flash(ActionScript 3.0) read the numbers in the browser and start
at a particular time. I know I have to convert the numbers to a
long and read them in that way, but I don't know how to start:(
If you can kindly give me a leg-up, I'd appreciate it very
much
thank you all,
Kedar

How to start video from specific time

hey frnds,
how can we start video from given time in osmf player and also how to ad cue point to stop it

I'd like to do something similar , i.e load a streaming resource but have it play from time "n" rather than time 0.
I looked at clipStart, but that seems to truncate the video to start from time n, in other words when I use clipStart, I dont seem to be able to seek to a point between 0 and "n"
Using play() and then seek() to "n", seems to work but causes it to buffer twice, which looks really bad to a user who just wants to start the video from time "n".
Is there another way to achieve this?
Thanks,

Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing

Hello everyone,
Every time I watch a video on youtube (on any browser) my macbook pro starts freezing half a minute, works fine for 10 seconds, then freezes again... This started a couple days ago. The only solution is to restart and not watch video's... Anyone know how to solve this?
I have a pretty old macbook pro, from around 2006. I've never had this problem...
Thanks,
Tommy
P.S. My family is currently deleting some items and it seems to be working, I'll update you if the problem is fixed.

Reinstall Flash Player? YouTube is Flash based.

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
It works great in OSX and on windows?
Here is an example:
// insert code for mouse click here
// Play an audio track
sym.$("_1")[0].play();
// Play a video track
sym.$("host")[0].play();
// Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.play("marker1");

If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.

I do not have the Firefox button the Getting started video refers to many times, I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

The Firefox button referred to many times in the Getting started video for Firefox 4 (for Mac) does not appear on my window. I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

The Firefox button is only on Linux and Windows. The Mac handles menus differently. In the Mac the menu bar is controlled by the operating system and is always present. In Windows and Linux, the Firefox button replaces the menu bar which is not possible on the Mac.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google proser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
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.

OSMF Media Element Start video at a certain time

Is there any way to have media element4 to start video playback at a certain time while the instance is being created?

I'm trying to switch video sources at run time via a addeventlistener. User is able to click on different buttons (essentially thumbnail videos running at the same time) to change the video
this is what i have so far
function switchScn(scnElement:MediaElement, url:String, eventObject:Object):void
    time = player.currentTime;
    scnlabel.label = time.toString();
    var mainUrl = MAIN_PATH;
    MAIN_PATH = url;
    parallelComp.removeChild(mainElement);
    var resource:URLResource = new StreamingURLResource(MAIN_PATH, StreamType.LIVE_OR_RECORDED, time);
    mainElement = mediaFactory.createMediaElement(resource);
    parallelComp.addChild(mainElement);
What i've done is removed the current mediaelement and then create the a new mediaelement but want to start it at a certain time. so that it seems like its seemless.
above i've added the suggested solution but still not starting at the specified time.

I can help with a buffering problem in a video-based eLearning..

Hello,
I hope I can give a little back here for once. : ) I have a video-based eLearning that is hosted on a LMS that has been giving the users with low bandwidth a lot of problems. I was doing some testing with Chrome Dev Tools today, and I think I find some info that could be of use to some people. The eLearning is hosted on Moodle.
Here is what I found :
Contrary to what I believed, the Chrome browser (and it is probably the same with other browsers) will not download all of the files, or at least not all of the video files in a SCORM packet without the user first interacting with that video in some way. As you see in the graphic, I first arrived at the intro video shortly before 2.5 minutes, and only then did the browser begin downloading this video.
At about three minutes, see red line, I used the forward button to jump to the next video, and because the browser was not yet finished downloading the intro video, it was downloading two simultaneously. This is when I started experiencing a buffering issue.
A few seconds later, I used the slider in the progress bar to move to the 4th video, see blue bar, which "set off" the third video as well. At this point my browser was trying to download four videos at once, which caused major buffering issues.
This means, however, that jumping around an eLearning with several videos in it, even using the TOC or forward and backward buttons will cause all of the videos you "touch" to begin downloading, and if you have low bandwidth, they can be downloading simultaneously for a long time.
Possible solution --> Allow navigation only with with TOC and make it so the user can only go to the next slide/video after he has finished viewing the current one, ensuring,that only one video will be downloaded at once. (Needs to be tested).
Anyway, I hope this has provided some insight to those experiencing problems similar to this!

Under the advanced tab in the button inspector you can set it to activate your subtitle stream.

After connecting the clients to start video chat using RTMFP , Can the server finish the video chat

After connecting the clients to start video chat using RTMFP , Can the server finish the video chat between clients regardless of clients' will ?

Hi,
I looked on this site http://portforward.com/routers.htm
It lists many routing devices both modems and routers.
I did not see the Surfboard you listed but that does not mean it does not route (It just means it is not in the list)
Your computer is getting the IP 192.168.1.3 which means a device somewhere between you and the internet is routing.
Most likely in System Preferences > Network for the connection method you are using you can see a "Router IP" (192.168.1.1 is most likely based on the IP you get)
Type this into to your Web Browser like you would Apple.com
You should get a Pop Up.
Hopefully it will tell what device you are now trying to Log in to.
This info may help in looking in the Port Forward list.
If not check all the Motorola devices listed and then iChat in the Next page.
The third page from the Link page I gave you will detail the default access info (IP and User ID and Password) for each device you visit.
You may find that there is a common User ID and password across the various devices and this may work for you.
At Random this one says admin and motorola as the User ID and Password. (others may say different)
Don't worry about the fact it says to set a Static IP at this stage Or the Port Forwarding info further down each page.
You will hopefully be now looking at the web pages stored on the modem.
They work like any other web pages with menu items and links to other pages.
Search all the menu items and link to see if the device has UPnP
It tends to be in different places on different routing devices but try Advanced or Admin as well as anything to to do with opening ports.
A Status page like the first pic on the second link page I listed may well tell you if it has UPnP enable or not (but this is not always the case)
Tell us what you find out or if you have some other routing device in between you and the Motorola Surfboard.

Video-based training and Captivate

I'm new to Captivate. My company focuses on film production
and we have been asked to create video-based training modules for a
large customer. We do all of our production work in Final Cut and
then we transcode videos to Flash (.flv).
We intend to create online courses that are video-based ( we
will add audio voiceovers) plus we will want to add still images
with audio and text (assessments, additional content, etc.).
Finally, we will need to upload our modules into a tier 1 LMS
(Saba, SumTotal, Oracle iLearning, etc.).
Is Captivate the tool for us?

Overall, Captivate is probably a good choice for you,
especially if you're already publishing your materials as FLV.
That said, you should probably be aware of the following when
using Captivate in the manner you've described:
1) Per some recent forum posts, a few folks are having
trouble getting FLV files to play all the way through. The video is
being cut off at the end for some reason. I suspect it's a case of
user error when configuring the slide timing, but you might want to
do a search of the forums and see if those folks ever got things
resolved.
2) Audio seems to be hit or miss in Captivate. Some folks
have problems, others have none. It seems mostly to do with how the
audio is brought into Captivate (recorded directly in the product
vs brought in as externally-recorded WAV or MP3 files) and where it
is placed (inserted at the slide level, or attached to a specific
button, such as a "Play Audio" button. I don't use audio in my
projects so I can't comment on the actual details, but again, a
search of the forums might be helpful.
3) Captivate publishes FLV files to the web as external files
that are dynamically loaded when the content is accessed. This
could potentially be a problem if the LMS doesn't allow a SCO to
consist of more than one file (seems unlikely, but worth mentioning
just in case).
4) Captivate offers a preloader that ensures enough of the
movie has downloaded prior to starting playback (and the preload
percentage is customizable if you own Flash). However, I don't know
if the preloader takes embedded videos into account, which could
impact your user experience if your movies are big and take a long
time to download.
5) Captivate advertises compatibility with SCORM-compliant
LMS products, but the published files often require tweaking to
work with a particular LMS. The forums will be helpful in this
regard, but there may also be some trial-and-error finding the
exact changes you need to make to support your specific LMS.
6) Captivate does not support multi-SCO SCORM manifests. If
you plan on deploying a multi-SCO course via SCORM, you'll need to
use a 3rd-party tool to create the manifest file. There's a number
of free and commercial products available that support both SCORM
1.2 and SCORM 1.3 (2004). A fairly comprehensive list can be found
here:
http://adlcommunity.net/mod/data/view.php?id=201
Hopefully, other folks will chime in and offer assurances for
some of the issues raised above, but those are the main issues that
I've seen in the Captivate forums that might affect you.

How to find out the top 10 data loads based on time duration?.

Hi,
We are working on performance tuning. so we want to find out the top 10 loads which had run long time in date wise.
We need the load start time and end time of the load process, Infosource and datatarget name.
There are nearly 1000 loads, So it is very difficult to collect the load's timings in RSMO.
Is there any another alternative to collect the top 10 loads based on time duration in date wise?
Thanks & Regards,
Raju

Hi Gangaraju,
You can install BI Statistics for getting these type of data.
Or you check in RSDDSTAT or RSMDATASTATE_EXT or table for the Load process time.
Or goto t-code ST13 to get detailed analysis of a Process chain for a given period.
Hope this helps.

Ive been trying to export or share my imovie video and every time the i movie crashes and its just pulls up a report. I need to export this movie now and it is fairly complicated please help me. It even crashes when ever i try to play it on full screen

My i movie keeps on crashing when ever i try to share it or play it in fullscreen . How do i save it and not loose the movie!

Hi
This is bit of a Nightmare situation - and there can be a zillion reasons for why it goes wrong. See if You might find help in my list.
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

How to make the opening video replay every time in ibooks author?

I have opening media in my ibook. But I need it to replay every time the ibooks is opened again. How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Are you saying export my processed video to .movs or DNxHD and give to him? The terms are all new to me. When I last edited with FCP it was with DVCam footage captured from the cassettes. Would he be able to then import the audio from the SxS card and sync it on his time line with those kind of files?
Nothing was deleted....straight 1 hr 2 minute single take.... broken down to the smaller files both by the Nanoflash and the SxS card.. I would drop the soundtrack from SxS onto my time line and sync it up for him first with the noise processed Nano video files if I could figure out why it isn't following the video onto the time line? Why does the 1080 60P codec from the Sony NEX 5N still camera bring the audio along automatically and the file fromn the Sony PMW 320 does not? There must be a lot of EX1 and EX3 shooters here. Please, what do I need to do with the buttons or targeting or settings for the 2 audio tracks on time line for those files to have the audio come along? From the SxS files I imported, both the ones that say "CLPR" and right below that, "CUEUP.XML" play the sound in the browser source window.

Video Based AE files in Captivate 5.5

I'm probably an idiot to be asking this now, but .... should I be concerned about crashes if we build a course with 8 modules of video based content where the file size averages around 50mg per module? To create a graphic novel look'n'feel, we have created 8 modules of content in Adobe After Effects that we will be pulling into captivate 5.5 for a structured learning environment where users can answer content related questions, view captivate developed simulations and link out to additional pieces of supporting content on an internal server. It will be loaded to and delivered via corporate-based, SCORM compliant LMS.

Whether it crashes browsers may not be your biggest issue. If each module is 50 megabytes in size and you have 8 of these that's going to represent a significant bandwidth hit.
My guess is that your biggest issue may turn out to be how long these modules take to load and begin playing, as well as whether they buffer (stop and start) while playing.
Some SCORM-complian LMSs have limits on the size of SCORM modules. Make sure your LMS can handle a course of 200 megabytes in size.
Also, since you mentioned "linking out to additional pieces of supporting information on an internal server", be aware that this actually goes against SCORM standards where everything the course needs is supposed to be encapsulated inside the individual SCOs in the course. In some cases, linking outside the SCO will break the communication link set up with the LMS when the course begins to play. Sometimes (and with some LMSs) you can get away with it, but it's definitely not recommended practice.
