Streaming Flash Video Problem
I am trying to determine if I have a Flash Media Server
problem or if it is an issue with Captivate 3. I have a 22 minute
video that I am streaming using Flash Media Server. Some but not
all users are reporting that the video will be playing and then
suddenly stop and restart from the begining. There does not seem to
be a recurring time in the video that this is occuring. Anyone have
any ideas what might be causing this.
Thanks
Brian
Hi Brian
I would think one simple way to test would be to provide
simple access to only the video using a means other than Captivate.
I'm not sure if one may create a link from a web page, but if you
can, I'd try that. See if the same affected users see the same
issue. If so, you have effectively ruled out Captivate as a
potential suspect and you know it's probably related to either the
video itself or the streaming software.
Cheers... Rick

Problem with tutorial:Creating a dynamic playlist for streaming flash video
hi, anyone tried the tutorial: creating a dynamic playlist
for streaming flash video?
i follow the instruction exactly as stated in the tutorial
and test the fla file, it worked perfectly well when i open the swf
using the macromedia flash 8. Everything look fine. Nothing is
changed except the url is changed to "rtmp://localhost/videosource"
in the xml file.
after i publish the file using the setting: access network
only, i try to open the swf and html file from the folder, the
thumbnail did not appear and there is no way i can click on any
videos. What i see is only the list, and there is no response from
the flash media server 2. All the files is in the same folder.
Anyone please help with this problem???? thanks....i debug the movie step by step
and realised that the xml file is being read by the code...
Your original problem stated it worked but not when playing
outside the
Flash authoring environment by simply loading the swf from
the hard drive.
The Flash authoring environment is a trusted environment and
so you really
need to test in the actual deployment mode which loading an
swf from the
hard drive is not a valid deployment unless an installed
Flash player is
available outside the web browser which you would have as you
have the
authoring tool and your users will not.
Use a browser with
http://yourdomain.com/yourmovie.html
to do final
debugging.
In this regard you may need to debug the movie while running
in real time
mode in a web browser with
http:// A technique to trace I suggested is to
create a temporary TextField perhaps named out_txt and send
trace message to
it such as out_txt.text += "My Trace Expression".

Creating a Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Flash Video
Hello,
I have been trying the tutorial given by Lisa Larson in order
to create a dynamic playlist for streaming Flash video files. I
have realized some of the FLV files that I have downloaded from
internet don’t show in the thumbPlayList and cannot be
played. But once I convert them back to WMV and the use the Flash 8
Video Decoder to convert them to FLV file everything works fine.
Any idea or suggestion why there is such a problem?
Thank you for your advice.

Watching streamed Flash video (like say Hulu) causes iMac to go to sleep
Lately, my iMac goes to sleep (after some time) when watching streamed Flash videos. Is anyone else experiencing this? Oh, and before you say that it is my sleep mode, this issue happens WAY before sleep mode would initialize; usually a few minutes after starting a video.
Message was edited by: Dennis CattThe symptoms you speak of are the exact same ones happening to me. This use to never happen, it has only been happening recently and I have had this computer over 4 years now. I have also been streaming Flash video on this computer for just as long without much issue. It seems like an issue with Flash Player 10.1, but the problem is, sites like Hulu don't support older versions of Flash anymore.

What controls width in streaming flash video?
I need to access and stream flash video stored on a US server. I do so from one of three PCs - all running Windows 7, all with same updates and same version of Flash. Two of them show a given video fine. The third runs the same video but it is clearly truncated on the right and bottom - that is, only part (top left two thirds?) of the video is visible. And two show timecode and the third...doesn't (or its hidden by the truncation). But how can this be??? And more importantly, what can I do to make the third PC play streaming video correctly?
If this isn't posted in the best place please say so.
Bemused and baffled.Check if the same issue is repeating with new flash player version 10.1.82.76.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am having problems publishing flash video in a http server.
I am streamming video from a server using a MediaPlayBack
component. All works well till this point. When insert the swf in a
html file and play it using the "http path" (
http://..../dilo.htm), the swf
doesn´t play the video. Altought .swf and .flv files are in
the same directory. But if open de html file using the IP path
(10.12.134.../dilo.htm), it works.
Can anybody tell me why is this happening? Any solution?

Streaming flash video will not play automatically. Must move the mouse off the link
I have 4 computers, all running Win7. On every one, Internet explorer. 2 have firefox 3. 2 have firefox 4. When clicking a link on a website that has live streaming video (flash) - the stream changes to the next one and the video feed begins right away. Works fine on all 4 computers in IE, and in both Firefox 3. The video starts when the mouse is clicked, or when the screen is refreshed. On both computers with firefox4 - the mouse click loads the new feed, but the video hangs on a white screen until the mouse pointer moves. same problem when the feeds are set to auto-rotate. they load every 30 seconds, but unless I physically move the mouse, no video plays (or click the 'next feed' button again, which gives a split-second peek at the video feed I am navigating away from), I need to monitor many security cameras, and this is excruciating. Safe mode does not help. I have the newest versions of everything. please tell me this is a bug and not someone's bright idea

Hi Folks

All has been working fine except for Flash Videos - anytime I upload a flash video (FLV) format and attemt to access it eitehr directly on the server or remotly get a grey screen. Is there any particular add ons required to enable flash video to work with Adobe Connect 9 , using Flash 10, OS is Windows 2008 R2
thanks in advance
Paul CNope. Looks good though and glad you got it sorted.

For the last couple of weeks i have run into a problem with both U-Tube videaos and yahoo vodeos.
In the middle of the videao a pop-up comes on from either of two entities s.ytimg and d.yimg.
There is a lot of dialogue about this (per google search) but I still don't know if it a virus/malware, or an intrusive adverising site.
Adobe has very vague info on this (they disclaim having anything to do with it) but to me it is unreasonable for U-tube (google) or yahoo to actuallyendorse this .
I never click allow, but the thing is insistant and does not go away.
Any help?Thanks for the added information, but that doesn't alter the fact that Firefox is seriously crippled -- that is to say, useless -- as a medium for web video.
I don't know whether the assertion that Flash 11.3 is "buggy" and it is Adobe's fault is more true, than to say that Firefox 20+ is "buggy" with regard to Flash 11.3.
It seems both developer teams are pointing in the other direction to claim "It's their fault, not ours" and using that as an excuse not to fix the problem.
Since it is unlikely that the complaints of Firefox users is going to move Adobe to "fix" Flash, it seems to me much clearer that it is the obligation of Mozilla to fix Firefox so that it works with Flash.
Again, this problem has gone on for sufficient years, anyone would conclude that Mozilla should have fixed it by now.
What is even more annoying, is the way that Mozilla representatives who should know better, send people who report this problem and quite reasonably ask for a solution, off on 15 dozen different kinds of fools' errands for "solutions" that don't address the problem that anyone with any experience realizes is a basic conflict between Flash 11 and any FF version much beyond 18 or so.
There needs to be a consolidation of all the many different threads addressing this problem with a top-level advisory that all the proffered sub-fixes (blaming this or that setting or plug-in) is really NOT going to solve the fundamental Flash-Firefox video incompatibility.
We FF users are left with the unacceptable choice of abandoning access to Flash videos if we want to continue using FF for all its other capabilities and special features -- or we have to constantly be uninstalling Flash 11, installing Flash 10, watch our videos, then uninstall Flash 10 and reinstall Flash 11 to do anything else.
This is ridiculous.
When is Mozilla going to acknowledge and fix this problem? -
Flash Video problem on one particular website.
I am trying to play Progressive Download video on a website.
I do this
at least 20 times a month .. no issues. This one site will
not show up and
I have redone the page approx. 20 times with no results in
any browser.
The page is in my root .. the FLV is in a folder called video
.. the script
is in the Scripts folder. The ProgressiveFLV and skin swfs
are in the main
folder.
I use an identical configuration on other sites on the same
server with no
problem. It tests perfectly in localhost. But nothing shows
up on the
server.
and YES .. I DID FTP the scripts folder. I solve this problem
for people
every day of the week .. but I can't get this site to work.
Any thoughts?

On the last attempt, it actually crashed Firefox .. anyone
know what is
going on here?

6-15-2012 upgrade and browser flash video problems.
The 6-15-2012 upgrade for flash player v. 11.3.300.257 causes flash videos not to load in the firefox browser.
What can I do to remedy this situation besides rolling back to a previous version or disabling protected mode
permanently?
Flash content does not appear at all in my browser (firefox v. 5.0), and I do not have realplayer installed.
There is no crashing, error message, flash video content does not even appear. Changing browser settings and
preferences or disabling addons does nothing. This problem has never occured before the 6-15-2012 update.
The operating system is W7 64 bit.
Troubleshooting methods outlined on page http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#4468493 do not work.

"Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either
revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved." If I cannot resolve this issue then I
cannot manually re-enable protected mode. Again, is there any solution that does not involve rolling back to
an earlier version or disabling any sort of protection?RE: "We strongly recommend that
Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
If I cannot resolve this issue then I cannot manually re-enable protected mode.
What they mean is when Adobe resolves this issue. So far, there's nothing the user can do if the protected mode is what is causing the problems.
If you look over the dozens and dozes of posts about this, you'll see that some progress has been made. The bug causing Firefox's "silent crashes" or crashes upon close-out has been duplicated, and according to some sources, has been "resolved," but so far, no patches or formal announcements have been made.
Since there seems to be a host of problems associated with Flash Player 11.3.300.257--conflicts with Real Player; constant crashes; excessive memory/CPU usage, etc.-- I'd imagine that Adobe will try to (hopefully) fix as many as possible in the next version.
In the meantime, we'll all have to wait it out using the earlier version or the new version that we--ourselves--have had to hack to disable "protected mode." Not knowing how vulnerable Flash Player is without the Protected Mode, I'm staying away from sites with Flash Content as much as possible. Unfortunately, since most of my browsing involves business related activities, and since many, many business related sites have some Flash content, this can be a challenge.

Hello,
I have a flash video that i'm trying to place in my flash
webpage. It works fine on my computer but for some reason it wont
work online.
I thought it was because the program didn't know where to
look to find it but for the life of me i can't figure out how to
change that. If that is the problem at all....
So, if anyone else had that problem and knows the solution
i'd appreciate the help.
Thank you.without more specifics or a url - same troubleshooting
applies. make sure all nevcessary files are
uploaded - all paths are correct and no illegal file names
are being used.

Hi all,
I know this question has been asked before, but I've tried
all the solutions offered and none worked.
I am using the command "Insert -->Flash Video" to insert a
video on a web page (using DW8). Plays locally, but not after
upload. Scripts folder and both the skin and
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf file are uploaded to the appropriate
places. I've tried on multiple computers and in multiple browsers
and can't figure why it won't work.
Here it is on a
test page. Should play in box and flv file is only a little
over 1MB.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated. I'm ready to pull
my hair out.
Thanks in advance.Guessing here but, is there supposed to be a blabla .flv file
on the server
or in your code?

FLash video problem with flvs?
Hello I am having a problem with the 4 videos on
http://www.websconsult.com/cuthbert/site/case-profiles.asp
SOme, but not all, videos do not have the little playback
triangle underneath the seek portion, where you can scrub through
the videos to the part you want.
THey are swf files, into which flvs have been imported, with
the progressive stream option and the the built-in Flash skin
selected for them. I am using the latest FLash CS3. THe flvs were
converted from quicktime mov files., which I had brought in into
Final Cut Pro and edited some of the frames and then re-exported as
quicktime files, which were then encoded with the FLash CS3 Encoder
app.
Any ideas? THanks!Installed flash lite 3 onto my n95 hoping to watch porn from
my browser!
I guess that isn't possible yet coz it aint working or do i
have to replace the flash lite 2 i already have on there.
I say this because it was installed into applications, next
to the existing version , rather than overwriting it...
Will it just not work yet coz the phones aren't powerfull
enough (with or without FL3) or have i just installed it
incorrectly??
