Surround Sound via StageVideo in Air for Desktop?

I can't seem to find an obvious answer to this question:
I want to use StageVideo to play h.264 videos with 5.1 AAC audio in full surround via a Mac Mini.
Flash is able to play back video with Surround sound, correct?
What is required to make this work?
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer Alex.
Here is a follow-up: Will a StageWebView within an AIR Desktop app, playing the video via HTML produce the Surround Sound?
Browsers themselves seem to play back the audio fine, just curious before I'm able to test if a StageWebView would produce the same result.
Thanks!

    Is this the latest version of iMovie?
    Drag the app from the Applications folder to your Trash (don't empty yet). Also drag the .plist file to the trash by going to Finder > menu bar  > Go > hold down Option key > Library. Scroll down to Preferences and place these in the trash (if you only have one, that's fine):
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    Than go to the app store and re-download your iMovie purchase. Install and check for any updates.

  • I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

    I have surround sound with my LCD TV.  Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

    ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
    I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
    I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
    I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
    Bummer..
    I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
    FWIW

  • AIR for desktop and TouchEvents

    Building a kiosk application that only requires button press and button drag(scroller) detection.
    I DON'T need multitouch, or gesture recognition.
    Will I still need to substitute any MouseEvents for TouchEvents?

    Hi jbach...
    In AIR for desktop, you can definitely load external swfs and they can contain code (works on Android also).
    There's a in-depth discussion of how to accomplish this here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2010/03/extending_air_applications_with_plugins.h tml
    This article talks about security considerations, etc - and is worth understanding.
    However, if you want to just test it out without worrying about security:
    var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();  
    stream.open(_file, FileMode.READ);
    var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
    stream.readBytes(bytes);
    stream.close();
    var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
    context.allowCodeImport = true;
    var loader:Loader = new Loader();
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);
    loader.loadBytes(bytes, context);
    function loadHandler(e:Event):void
    _content = DisplayObject(e.target.content);
    So basically:
    Read the file as a byte array.
    Create a loader context and set allowCodeImport to true.
    Create a loader and use loadBytes to "convert" to a useable swf.
    On complete, e.target.content contains your swf (fully accessible with code, etc.)
    Hope this helps!  Good luck with your application.

  • AIR for desktop and multiple swfs

    I know when packaging AIR for mobile devices, you can load external swfs as long as they contain no code, but I was wondering if the same limitation exists for AIR on the desktop.
    Building a kiosk application and would like to organize and load the various 'views' similar to how I would create and organize a flash based web application.

  • Flash CC Publish Air for Desktop for Windows from a Mac?

    I've been trying to figure out how to publish my game for windows and it is driving me nuts. On the adobe help page it says there should be a checkbox right below the "output as" boxes. It should say "Windows InstallerSelect this option to compile a native, platform specific Windows installer (.exe) instead of a platform-independent AIR installer (.air)." On my publish settings however, this is missing. Does anyone know how I can publish a windows .exe from Flash CC on my mac?

    Hi,
    Air for Desktop settings are platfrom specific , you couldn't publish the Windows.exe from MAC , you can publish the windows installer from windows machine .
    Thanks!

  • Mac mini no surround sound via HDMI to TV

    I have a MacMINI 2011 which is connected via HDMI cable directly to my Samsung UA55HU8590 TV.
    The problem is that the MAC is not delivering a surround sound. If I e.g. watch a movie via iTunes I can only listen in stereo not in DTS or any other dolby sound.
    I see in the midi audio setup at the HDMI entry that all my 5.1 settings are greyed out.
    I have the latest Yosemite installed.
    How can I transfer surround sound via HDMI to my TV?

    Try:
    Force 5.1 out over HDMI

  • IPhone 5 audio issues when paired with surround sound via Bluetooth.

    iPhone 5 has developed audio issues since ios7 updates when its connected to surround sound system via Bluetooth. Audio jumps and skips in erratic and unpredictable manner on music app and worse on third party apps such as YouTube  . Have restored phone from factory settings etc. Have also checked surround sound for fault with Bluetooth; iPhone 4 ios7 works fine, android works fine but newest iPod touch with ios7 appears to have developed same issue as iPhone 5 since ios7 updates. Advise people to check for this issue on their Bluetooth devices and any advice would be appreciated on this issue  :) 

    Hey there Vxas,
    It sounds like you are gettings some very unexpected behaviour from the iPhone to your bluetooth surround sound system. I would try the troubleshooting recommended in this article:
    iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
    On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
    Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
    Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
    Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
    Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Workers in AIR for desktop

    My question here specific to AIR apps for desktop, not for the web. I have Flex 4.6 and AIR 3.5. I've beed Googling for days with no joy.
    There are no code errors but does anyone know where and how to initialize workers in the main mxml file or hat appliaction handler should be used to get the worker thread to set the mainToWorker and workerToMain MessageChannel's, as there is no class initializer like there is in web flex projects.
    if(Worker.current.isPrimordial){
                                                      worker = WorkerDomain.current.createWorker(this.loaderInfo.bytes);
                                                      mainToWorker = Worker.current.createMessageChannel(worker);
                                                      workerToMain = worker.createMessageChannel(Worker.current);
                                                      worker.setSharedProperty("mainToWorker", mainToWorker);
                                                      worker.setSharedProperty("workerToMain", workerToMain);
                                                      workerToMain.addEventListener(Event.CHANNEL_MESSAGE, onWorkerToMain);
                                                      worker.start();
                                            }else{
         // if in worker thread
                                                      mainToWorker = Worker.current.getSharedProperty("mainToWorker");
                                                      workerToMain = Worker.current.getSharedProperty("workerToMain");
                                                      mainToWorker.addEventListener(Event.CHANNEL_MESSAGE, onMainToWorker);

    1.Make sure you understand the big differences between video and stagevideo, its tempting to think that stagevideo is the better videosoultion in any case, but its not.
    The best Article (however a little outdated) on the subject is imo: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/stage_video.html
    2.In a performance heavy environment the combination stageVideo+greensock might not be the optimal solution, if you have time to reprogram Starling/feathers will probably give you a much better performing combination:
    http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/stagevideo-with-starling-example
    3.I don`t know how you encode your Backgroundvideo, there are literally dozens of viable codecs that should differ extremly in how they stress the gpu/cpu. Maybe you have to experiment with a lower than HD resoultion and see if scaling up the background is a good compromise.

  • Surround sound via external sound card

    I'm looking to connect my W520 to a tv for watching movies. The video is all set up with a DP to HDMI adapter directly from the laptop to the tv. The sound, however, must pass through a receiver first. The receiver only has RCA inputs - it's quite old. I know the hypothetical setup would definitely work because I have a cable tv set top box connected that way.
    What's missing is an external sound card that is:
    - compatible with the w520
    - capable of outputting 5.1 surround sound
    - capable of connecting via RCA, be it through an adapter or not
    Can anyone recommend a reliable external sound card for the job?

    Have you tried one of these?
    dynadock PA3927U-1PRP dynadock U3.0
    You can stream 5.1 audio (and the video for that matter as it supports two displays). It also supports USB3.0 as an added perk (the dock itself can be plugged into a usb 3.0 port for best performance). It has one HDMI connection, one DVI-I, and an ethernet connection builtin as well as the usb connections.
    PS Missed the bit about you only having RCA connections on your receiver. Lol I would get a new receiver. But then again this device may help you as it does have analog outputs (front,rear and c/sub). You would need to build/find cables though (3.5mm x3 to RCAs).
    Btw no SPDIF? If no your receiver must be a pretty old one. Hope its a good one ;-). If you have an coax/optical input then there are also USB devices that will provide 5.1 (maybe even 7.1 nowadays) via the SPDIF connection.

  • Why does surround sound have to be CMSS for it to work, I can only do ste

    I just looked at this tutorial on this site: (I can't get it to insert the link no matter what. I clicked "insert a hyperlink, but that isn't working either). It makes it sound like the only way to get sound from all of your speakers is to enable cmss and click that top option. The only way I can get sound from all of my speakers is to enable the bottom option. What is the deal, and am I getting the best/worst sound in the way I am doing it's

    I believe to insert a hyperlink on this website you have to enable scripting. Generating?mp3 or?CD Stereo music out of your 4 satelite speakers and center channel requires either enabling the X-Fi CMSS 3D Surround(generally used for Movies)?setting in your Audio Console or, alternately, if using your X-Fi card with an external Decoder, you could (if available on your decoder) enable Dolby PLII Music enhancement or X2 Stereo enhancement. I personally prefer the results from enabling CMSS 3D Surround and then adjusting my center channel for an even sound stage although I have used Dolby PLII Music enhancement, via my external decoder and optical connection to my X-Fi External console, in the past with very good results. As far as the CMSS-3D Xpand Mode (generally used for Stereo Music Audio played on 4./5./6./7. speaker systems) it appears to be a somewhat more subtle version of the CMSS-3D Surround mode available providing the end-user with a slightly different stereo upmix emphasis. I like either mode as both are very convincing, not outstanding, but certainly acceptable methods of upmixing stereo to various external surround sound speaker and amplifier systems. :smileysurprised:Keep in mind that if you wish to play DVD Movies with Dolby Digital 5. or DTS soundtracks and you want all the discreet channels available then turn off the CMSS-3D. Hope this hel

  • Sound no longer playing through Surround Sound via TV

    I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now and recently purchased a new 3D LG TV.  Prior to that I had another LG hooked up through it and have a Panasonic surround sound system set up with I believe it's a Gefen digital to analog converter, because unfortunately LG only makes digital and alls that is available is analog through my surround sound.  I have always been able to listen to my computer through the surround sound, however, since I purchased this new TV I have not been able to.  The sound plays through the TV speaker but will not play through the surround sound yet when I change inputs over to my PS3 or DirecTv I can hear everything else except my computer.  This is why I am convinced it is the computer and not the TV.  I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something needed to change for this type of TV or what.  I am pretty technical when it comes to electronics so I have tried changing all different types of settings and played around trying to fix this but so far no luck so who has an idea or ever heard of this before?

    @mndwgz and Lousyfool
    Sorry for the delay, however, I was out of town and just getting back to this issue.  I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the computer settings or something of the sort because like I said prior to me switching tv's it has worked no problem, both of which were connected the same exact way.  Both LG tv's only have an optical digital output port on it while my Panasonic surround sound only has an A/V input.  To solve this I have a Gefen Digital to Analog converter in between the connection from the TV and the Surround Sound, so my computer is not connected anything in between the computer and HDMI connection to TV.  Sound comes out of the TV through the computer but will not bypass through the TV to the Surround Sound.  However I know it's not the TV settings because my PS3 regardless of the HDMI input plays sound through and over all my speakers.  I have not tried rerunning my computer through the old LG LCD tv connect the surround sound as well to see if it worked because all the way up until I switched to an LED tv, it had.  It's weird how this is a problem but have tried switching settings, changing inputs, problemsolving etc. but just don't see how my PS3 is converted through the tv to the converter to the surround sound and my mac mini is not!
    Old LCD TV- LG model 42LH30
    New LED TV- LG model 47LM6200
    Surround Sound- Panasonic model SA-PT950
    Converter- Gefen Digital to Analog Converter

  • Surround Sound Via Headphone Sockets With ALSA and/or OSS?

    I have a surround sound system that uses the green and black 2.5 milimeter jacks for surround sound.  Is it possible to configure ALSA, so that the headphone socket on my laptop produces the front (green) output, and the external microphone socket produces the rear (black) output?  Also, is this possible with OSS?

    Possible in Alsa, yes. Quite a bit of modification of your .asoundrc. Check this out.
