Trouble playing FLV in Media components

I am using Flash MX Professional 2004
I am using Camtasia and the Flash Video Exporter to convert
the Video from AVI to FLV
I have been struggling to get the MediaPlayback component to
play my FLV files. It is supposed to be easy and the instructions
sound simple, but It doesn't usually work. Only one of my FLV files
will play. However that one will only play if I use a relative URL
in the Component Inspector. Absoute URLS don't work. I have created
6 files since that one and non will play no matter if the URL is
relative or absolute. What is the secret? WHat knids of things in
the conversion to FLV could cause it to not play? Is there
something I need to do in Flash to make the component compatible
with the FLV files. The one I got to work just seems like dumb
luck. Please help...

I solved my own problem. The solution was a combination of
two things. First I am using Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0.
Appearantly IIS 6.0 needs a little help to properly stream Flash
video. The solution is:
On the Windows 2003 server, open the Internet Information
Services Manager.
Expand the Local Computer Server.
Right-click the local computer server and select Properties.
Select the MIME Types tab.
Click the New... button and enter the following information:
Associated Extension box: .FLV
MIME Type box: flv-application/octet-stream
Click Ok.
Restart the World Wide Web Publishing service.
This solution was found here
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19439
The second problem was that the video would fail to play when
I tested it within Flash MX 2004. I discovered that once the movie
was published, I could then test it successfully within
flash.

Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ?

i am trying to develop a video player so i just thought Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ? , coz when i tried media element it is supporting only mp4 & avi formats.

Here is a list of Media Foundation codecs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx
For the rest of the formats you have you write your own MFT-based codec and ship the codec with your app. See also
implementing a Codec MFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757274(v=vs.85).aspx)
Media extensions sample (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096)
MKV and FLV are just container formats, though, you need to survey some video files to see what video codecs are actually in streams and support them one by one. Supporting some proprietary video formats may involve licensing costs from patent holders.

I use Perian, can't play .flv file on QuickTime.

Up until a month ago, I was able to copy video files from YouTube using Perian v1.2.3 (that's the last version they have). I have Mac OS Snow Leopard v10.6.8 and all of a sudden, QuickTime X no longer recognizes .flv video files. How do I get QuickTime to play .flv video files? I also notice I have trouble finding the same kind of files that I could use to open on QuickTime on my Safari browser using the Downloads feature under Window. I use Safari v5.1.7
If Perian no longer works, is there another application I could use to copy YouTube video files?

Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

Blackberry having trouble playing youtube videos

I own a blackberry curve 8530 and its having trouble playing youtube videos. It plays youtube videos up to 59 seconds and then it stops. It gives me the same error message saying:
"An error has occured attempting to play the media".
I have tried turning on and off my phone, pressing alt+enter+del, and doing the battery pull. None of those methods have worked.
Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Ive pretty much have tried everything i could think of and none of the forums seems to have a solution.
Is the phone the problem or is youtube?
If you know of the solution, your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello hashbrown602,
The following post by Cory from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog outlines a few steps you can try to successfully play videos from YouTube.
http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2011/03/watch-youtube-on-blackberry/
If you still have issues after going through each of the steps, you may want to contact your wireless service provider to check your data plan settings.

[SOLVED] VLC no audio, Volume stuck at 0%-5% only when playing FLV

Hello Friends,
I've had this issue for a while, only on one laptop (I run Arch on everything)... VLC will play my .FLV files, video works, playback works but no sound. The volume gets stuck and can only be changed by 5% (If VLC was running before and volume was at 60% I can change to 65 and back to 60. If VLC was closed and I open a FLV file it is always at 0% volume and will only go up to 5%).
I get the following error every time I try to adjust the volume.. Other file-types work fine.
[tkh@tk6410 ~]$ vlc

EDIT: I have concluded that this must've been the FLV files itself. They were downloaded using FireFox plugin VideoDownloadHelper

How to create a .f4m manifest files to play .FLV files

I typically use .f4v files for my on demand playback media files, however I converted a .mov to a .flv file... How do I create a .f4m and .m3u8 manifest file that plays .flv files? Below is the code I normally use for the .f4m and .m3u8 files. This works great with .f4v files. I also included my player code. What am I doing wrong? The only difference is I'm using a .flv that I didn't use the f4vpp cleaner on.. That shouldn't give me the parse error I'm getting.
022714.f4m is the name of my .f4m Flash manifest file. Below are the contents.
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://IPaddress/hds-vod/</baseURL>

<media href="02-27-14-320-240.f4v.f4m" bitrate="450"/>
</manifest>

to create a file in appl server you have to use open dataset and close data set..
see the sample code
REPORT zanid_test MESSAGE-ID zz .
parameters: FULLPATH(128) obligatory lower case
                      default 'E:\usr\sap\put\file.txt'.
*you change the appl sever path as per your config.
DATA : BEGIN OF list_asc OCCURS 0,
        msg(300) TYPE c,
       END OF list_asc.
start-of-selection.
*---populating data
list_asc-msg = 'abcdefghijkl'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
list_asc-msg = 'faagoaagiagig'. "your sample data
append list_asc.
OPEN DATASET fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT LIST_ASC.
      TRANSFER LIST_ASC-MSG TO fullpath.
      CLEAR LIST_ASC-MSG.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET fullpath.
now if you go to appl server , you will find that file in that specified path..
to create a directory yu can go to transaction AL11 and click the 'konfigurieren'button, you then you can specify the directory attibutes to create a directory
and to load a file from your loacl pc to appl server you can use transaction CG3Y also, instead of the abap code.
plz rewrad points if it helps you.

Downloading and installing windows media components for quicktime

I am relatively new to Mac and haven't really installed much other than Handbrake. I was trying to install windows media components for quicktime or even windows media player for quicktime in order to play .wmv files. However, anytime I click to download something, NOTHING HAPPENS. No download appears, nothing goes to my download stack, nothing installs. Is there something I need to know when attempting to download and install something on my Mac that I may not just know coming over from the dark side of windows?
any help is appreciated

Yes, good advise...Flip4Mac is essential for WMV content. Here's a list of other things you might need for the various formats out there.
VLC
Real Player
Perian
Adobe Flash

I am having trouble playing some of my songs.

Hello there.
I have been using an iPhone and a Mac since forever, and this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.
One of the songs that I bought from iTunes (and one that I would like to listen once in every five minutes) cannot be played from both my computer (a MacBook Pro Retina Display), and my phone (iPhone 5).
While I suspect that the problem might be occuring because of the Explicit tag on the song, I have no trouble playing other songs of such rating from my devices.
When I try to play the song on my Mac, iTunes keep asking me for authorization over and over despite the computer is one of my authorized ones, and when I tap the 'play' button on iPhone, the phone switches madly from 'play' sign to 'stop' sign and continues to do so until I tap the sign again.
I am over the legal age, I have my restrictions set off, and I have absolutely no idea why this might be happenning.
Thank you for reading.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

How to play flv files

My computer can play flv from sites like youtube but when I
have the file on my desktop and try to open it directly with I this
will not work. It does work with SWF files though. So, the
questions are:
- Can I get IE to play the FLV files?
- Is there a way to get Media player to play them?
- Is there a standalone player which will play them?
- Is there a way to convert them to AVI?

Trouble playing HD and 4K footage at100Mbps

Hi,
I need help. I have a new GH4 and I have some trouble playing HD and 4K footage at 100Mbps.
I had an older GTX 470 which trouble was more present and now, I bought the new GTX 970. Trouble are still here... It's a bit better on 50Mbps footage with tge new 970 than with the 470.
I run Windows 7 Pro 64 bits on a SSD drive, I got a raid volume for the medias, Intel Xeon X3450, 16Go RAM and the GTX 970 with 4 Go.
Adobe told me it's maybe a problem with the communication between Premiere and the CUDA. It seems to be a known problem but no solutions...
I found this a little bit strange because I have no problem with my EX1R footage at 35Mbps with my older 470 and newer 970...
I don't know what to do... I don"t think that my workstation is older to run this kind of footage...
Hope you can help me...
Thanks for all.

if you go to MacHD>library>Quicktime... do you have the AppleHDVCodec.component there?

High CPU usage when playing flv files with flash

As more and more FLV videos are moving to HD, I'm noticing
high CPU usage and lots of dropped frames when playing FLV video in
web browser with Flash 10. This is true even if the video isn't
full screen. I've tried a variety of browsers (Firefox, I.E.,
Chrome) and the problem occurs on all of them so it's pretty clear
it's a limitation in Flash.
Now my PC isn't high end (it has a Pentium M 1.86 GHz
processor), but I can take those same FLV files and load them in
something like Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player (when
using ffdshow) and play the FLV files full screen with little or no
drop in frames and an acceptable CPU rate.
This is especially annoying on sites like YouTube where I
actually have to save the video and play it back in something other
than Flash to have it play back at an acceptable rate. This doesn't
work for other sites like Amazon.
Why is the CPU usage so high when decoding and displaying
videos when compared to other media players?

I've been doing research about this excessively high CPU usage problem (100%!) for weeks because I have also experienced it with my vista home premium laptop. Just recently, I have finally found the solution. The problem is not your browser or your OS or your pc's memory. The problem is caused by authorization for flash player.
Read the link (posted below) carefully and follow the steps accordingly. If you have already done steps 1 through 6 with your computer, you can go straight to step 7.

PS: I am not the author of that link, so please thank the respective site owner if you find the procedure very helpful.
Please let me know also if the link solves your problem. I am sharing this because Adobe seems unable to provide solutions to this, and I don't want to hear people suffer.

Trouble playing any videos on Macbook Pro

So 2 months back, my macbook pro is having trouble playing any type of flash videos, from youtube, embedded videos, pretty anything with flash. flash player is up to date, i can surf the internet and do my work flawlessly but as soon as i start a video, the mbp starts to slow down and the video starts getting choppy. Not sure what else to do before giving up and going to the apple store. I've shut it down and restarted it still having issues. any help would be appreciated! Running OS X 10.8.2

I have been having these same problems. Currently, playing YouTube videos in HD, is not viewable, so I have to watch videos in 240p (gross). My thought is that YouTube has shut down some of the servers in order to push some kind of update. My advice, just wait out the storm and see what happens over the next few days. If the issue is still not fixed, I would suggest contacting Google. In the meantime, you could try and reinstall Flash Player, or change browsers, but from my experience, none of that worked.
Best of luck!
