Streaming video on web

Can anyone point me in the right direction, im trying to play a wma video file through a published director movie type: DCR - Html, the movie loads and streams on my local server, however when uploaded and played via the web a red cross appears where the video should be...>:>?

strike all that... lack of sleep...
videos are not imported (unless they are flash), they're simply linked... did you upload the video, and if so, what's the path to the video (member("video").fileName)? that's probably your issue. It's probably easiest to set the fileName using code and make sure it's relative by using the @ symbol... look it up in the help... I don't do anything with Shockwave so I'm not up on all the details/nuances.... however, if memory serves, you should put all external media in a dswmedia folder. This link might help: http://www.adobe.com/support/director/internet/security/security03.html
<original text - please ignore... flippin' formatting options in the editor don't work, it would seem so cannot strike it out>
wma stands for windows media audio, not video - that'd be wmv. A red cross means that you didn't include the proper Xtra or ActiveX control. If you are using an Xtra to play the video then go to the menu and select Modify --> Movie --> Xtras... then  make sure the Xtra is there and checkmark the "Download if Needed" option... if the option is grayed out then that means the Xtra is not shockwave safe.
... however, if you used an ActiveX control then you're SOL when it comes to a shockwave movie... the only browser you might be able to use an ActiveX control would be in IE... but that's highly unlikely too b/c of security issues. Either way, an ActiveX control will not work in any other browser.

  • Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

    Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    Here is the situation:
    My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
    On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
    I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
    When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to  connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
    Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
    Thanks in advance...

    The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
    From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
    From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
    Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
    Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
    The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
    All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
    ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
    An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
    Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
    O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
    I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
    Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
    O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

  • Streaming Video through Web Content Overlay

    Really would appreciate some help here. Whenever I link an HTML file containing a MP4 video through the Web Content Overlay, all the other body text in the pages no longer render as vectors (the text becomes pixelated). The video is in H.264. Any ideas?

    Does the video streaming source link has the same page resolution as your folio is? Did you check the option "scale content to fit" is web content overlay?

  • Streaming video in web site?

    I have a real estate client who wants to show 2-3 minutes
    snippets of the homes he's selling. I'm not sure of the best way to
    do this, as far as streaming the video.
    A previous client who used a lot of video got me hooked up
    with a special hosting company that specifically had things set up
    for streaming. But I've been told that's not necessary, that any
    host can "stream" these types of files. Not sure if that's true or
    not.
    Any advice?

    Easiest thing to do is call your host and ask what streaming
    media they
    support.
    The easiest way is going to be using Flash Video, you can use
    the
    encoder that comes with Flash and be up and running in no
    time at all.
    Just let your client know that the more times the video gets
    watched,
    the more bandwidth is eaten up. Most hosting plans have a
    limit, many
    don't just stop your site from receiving traffic, but some
    do, so make
    sure your client is prepared to suddenly getting billed for
    excess
    bandwidth.

  • Maximise streaming video in web browser

    i am having trouble when ever i watch any video streaming online normally thru flip4macWMV there is no other option to maximize the screen , is that the reality or i am missing the trick here. pls let me know thanks

    Hello there.
    From my experience using Flip4Mac, there doesn't seem to be a way to maximize the size of the video playing within the browser. However, since Flip4Mac is a component for QuickTime, if you download the file and open it, you can resize it as well as play it full screen in QuickTime.
    Hope that helps.

  • QT streaming video in web site -

    Hi,
    my problem is: I have streaming QTs in my web site and in SAFARI they sometimes look o.k. and sometimes the user just sees the tool-bar and hears the sound. I suppose SAFARI would display QTs allright but does not.
    This problem does not occur with other browsers.
    Has anybody an idea what the reason might be?
    Thanks

  • Streaming Videos as Web

    Hello
    Is it possible to stream an AVI ("any" video) file just like a stream of a webcam? My camera is dead and I'll participate on a video chat. I need to send a video file just like a real webcam-captured image.
    If this is not the right place to ask this question then please guide me where to post this?
    Thank you and Regards

    I use fake webcam for this purpose. It?s just a tiny program that does it all.
    Fake Webcam
    Use fake webcam to play you pre-recorded videos on instant messengers (Yahoo, MSN, Paltalk, camfrog etc) while chatting. It can even broadcast one single movie to all the messengers at the same time.
    Pretend like a teenage girl or a 50 year old male, your chat mate wont be able to figure out that its not you.
    It enables you to:
    * Play pre-recorded videos without even having a physical webcam.
    * Shared your video clips with family and friends through your instant messengers.
    You can download it from

  • Streaming video for web

    I recently created my first website and created a transitioned jpeg slideshow in IMovie to show on the home page immediately when the page loads. Originally, I exported it using custom settings (sized to fit my page and prepared for standard web server) and it worked fine but then I noticed my server now offers streaming so I decided to pursue that thinking that it could somehow make it faster to load for people with slower connections.
    I exported again from IMovie (custom size,mpeg-4, 12 frames per second, prepared for internet QT streaming), then uploaded it to the streaming folder indicated by my server, rewrote the code for the page and tried it out but something's wrong. It shows the QT box loading and then is replaced by the initial pic in the movie but then either nothing else happens or it plays really really slow or really choppy. In trying to figure out what went wrong, I found info on my server that the movie is supposed to be hinted using Quicktime so I tried saving the movie compressed but not prepared for web, then opened in QT Pro and exported it as hinted but it doesn't seem to have helped at all. I assume that saving it in IMovie as "streaming" would be the same as saving as "hinted" but thought I'd give that a shot just to make sure.
    The question is...does this sound like some issue with the streaming server or the movie itself? I'm thinking I should just switch back to the standard movie playing from my home page since it seemed to work okay, (aside from the annoying ActiveX thing people seem to be running into) but the idea of streaming sounds better? LOL Any suggestions? BTW - this is an image only slideshow.
    I've been spending COUNTless hours trying to figure this one out so any help from someone more in the know would save my remaining sanity.

    True "Streaming" requires more than just adding "hint tracks" (required for streaming downloads).
    You (your server) must also use Streaming server software like:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver/
    QuickTime movies require "hint tracks" for streaming.
    My suggestion?
    Don't add any level of "features" that your files don't require.
    If "regular" (HTTP) works for you why add the headaches of "streaming" media delivery?
    Adding "hint tracks" to regular QuickTime files (served via HTTP servers) only makes the file size larger (sometimes up to 20%) and doesn't "do" anything if served without streaming server software.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.0.3 Streaming Video and HD not working

    How do I enable the streaming video for web sites to play in the webpage? All I see is a broken file image in the window where the movie should be playing.

    It appears you either don't have the QuickTime plug-in installed or it is turned off.
    The page worked fine for me.
    Your version of Internet Explorer is showing an "image" placeholder and, obviously, QuickTime is a .mov file.
    http://movies.apple.com/movies/paramount/missionimpossible_3/mission_impossible_3-tlr1h.640.mov
    Open QT Player, Open URL (File menu) and paste the link above. If it plays QuickTime works. Paste the URL in a different browser and see if it works. If it does then the QT plug-in works which means the issue is with IE.
    I would throw IE off my PC and get a real browser.

  • Cant watch videos on web sites?

    how come i can watch you tube but cant stream videos on web sites?

    Videos require a plug-in that isn't included with with Safari browser. The iPod Touch can only watch QuickTime embed videos (go to http://www.apple.com/itunes and scroll down to the bottom, you can watch the "Now Playing" section).

  • Adding Web Streaming Video to a Slide

    'Don't know if I'm asking this correctly... Does anyone know or is there a way to add a live webpage that has streaming video? -So then when I play my slideshow the webpage shows the streaming video, gets updated each time I hit that particular slide.
    If not, any suggestions?

    The only streaming that Keynote directly supports is QuickTime streaming. This is when you have a QuickTime Streaming Server set up to stream to any Player that opens the reference movie. To see an example of this, view one of Apple's QuickTime streams and save the file (you can only do this if you have QuickTime Pro). Drop that file into Keynote and, when you get to the slide, the stream will briefly buffer and then begin to play.
    What you want to do can't be done with Keynote as it's Web capabilities are limited (possibly due to security concerns). That's why when you click on a link, it opens Safari which handles all of the interactive web viewing. You ARE correct in that it only updates when you close your slideshow and reopen it.
    And yeah, there is such thing as a "False" video stream. Because streaming requires hardware/software/server configurations many users may not have available to them, QuickTime movies can be made to progressively download AS they are playing, giving the appearance of streaming and near-instant watching of streaming, but not actually streaming.

  • Can't stream video from the web

    My iPad cannot stream videos from Safari web sites except when I am in the same room as the modem and router. I am not talking about flash, I mean videos it should be able to stream.
    I use an Arris modem from Comcast with a Time Machine in the same room. I have an Airport Express in another room to extend wireless coverage.
    If I start a video in the "time machine room" it will load and I can then leave and the video will play. If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
    I tried a test, streaming the same video to my iBook, my iPhone and my iPad - from a non "time machine room" in my house. No problem with the iBook or iPhone. The video played with no problems. No go with the iPad.
    Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I am getting a strong Wi Fi signal.
    Deanna

    HI Deanna,
    Try resetting the network settings on your iPad.
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
    That will restore to factory default.
    Restart your iPad, restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, try changing the Airport channel.
    Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, and restart your Mac.
    Try streaming again.
    If I try to start it in another room it will not load properly.
    Also, check out the Airport Express online manual *page 41* for: *Items that can cause interference*

  • Cannot load live video streaming on certain web sites

    When I go to a horse racing site to see live streaming video, I press the play button. When I do this the word ready that is on the video screen very briefly changes to connecting to media and then reverts to ready. No matter how many times I click play this continues to happen. I have tried this site on Chrome and IE and the same thing happens. The site was working ok until I upgraded to Firefox 4. I then downgraded back to 3.6 and now it stopped working there.

    What web pages is this occurring on? Have you tried to reset Firefox? [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

  • Yoga 3 pro cant stream video on external display or laptop

    Saw a previous post on this, didnt seem like it was fixed.  Having real issues with hooking up to an external display, when the web browser (chrome) is extended to the external display, my internet lags hard...i cant even stream a vid on youtube.
    I've disabled realtek (fixed cracking speakers) tried a completely new cord set up from micro hdmi to dvi...nothing works.  When i drag the browser window back to the laptop screen, it works fine.
    Ok, 5 min follow up:  it seems im now having the similar issue with streaming video on my laptop screen....sound streams fine, the video seems to shake back and forth very quickly, runs, then shakes again...seems to only happen intermittenltly on the laptop...but display shows real lag and shake.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you tried changing the screen resolution on the Yoga to something lower than what it is set on? A 1080i screen has a resolution of 1,920 × 1,080, my Yoga 3 Pro has a default resolution of 3200 x 1800. I have not tried connecting my Y3P to the TV yet, but the conversion could be causing an issue.
