Video doesn't play in authoring player, does play in debug player

I just updated to CS5 - I'm working on a custom video player. It works fine embedded in a web page both locally and on the network. It works fine in the debug player. However, when I test it in the authoring player I get a NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound error and no video. I have tried setting the Local Playback Security publish settings to both local and network - doesn't find the video either way.
It used to run fine in CS4 in the authoring environment.
Obviously it's hard to debug the problem when it doesn't fail in the debugger. ;-)
Am I missing a setting or ... ?

I just tested the issue with the included Flash video player component which does work fine in the authoring mode.

Quicktime in iweb page won't play in safari, but does play in firefox

Some people (but not all) report problems going to this webpage
http://web.me.com/michael_grenadier/Loudon/TheCharliePooleProject.html
The quicktime doesn't play, just a quicktime icon.
I just checked it on my macbookpro and that's what happens, but it loads and plays fine in firefox.
Any ideas/solutions?

It's bad design to put more than one movie on a page. Even my local cinema knows that.
It takes some time, sometimes a lot of time, to load the movies.
And since you don't provide a link to the page, its hard to tell what the problem might be.

DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

Go this this thread for more details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

How to test with the standard Flash player, rather than debug player

Folks,
I am interested in running my flexunit 4 tests against the standard flash player, rather than the debug player that comes with the SDK. Is this possible?
BTW, I am working on Windows for now.
I installed both the flash ActiveX control for IE, and the standard flash plugin for Firefox. I then associated the SWF file extension with Firefox using the "Open With" dialog. I had to choose a single program, and the browser appeared to be my only choice, as I could not find any sort of "FlashPlayer10.exe" to associate with. I ran my ant script that calls <flexunit>, and it kind of works. It launches Firefox, runs the tests, and the results get piped back, but Firefox is not shut down. Yep, Firefox stays open after the tests complete. I seem to recall that the debug flash player would close itself after being opened by <flexunit>. I tried using IE, and the same result occurs: the browser is not shutdown after the tests complete. This behavior makes for an unacceptable test setup, as eventually the system memory on the machine will be exhausted as more and more browsers are opened and not closed.
Questions/options:
1) Is there a standard flash player "executable" somewhere on my system that I can associate the SWF files with (that would hopefully shut itself down)?
2) Second choice, is there a way to get the browser to close after <flexunit> completes?
3) or am I stuck using the debug player? I am concerned that testing management at my company might not like the fact that we are testing against a debug player, rather than the standard one that users will likely be using. If flexunit 4 CI only supports the debug player, is there something I can say to appease management?
Thanks for any help...

@trevorbutler - Here are my 2 cents, but the group may have a different perspectives for your questions.
Currently, we suggest the use of the CIListener class as a FU4 listener for use when building your test SWF to run via the FU4 Ant task. This class (http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/flexunit/branches/4.x/FlexUnit4CIListener/src/o rg/flexunit/listeners/CIListener.as) uses the fscommand() function to send a message to its host environment to exit (i.e. - fscommand("quit")). This command is only recognized by the Flash projector and stand-alone players, which are thin wrappers around the Flash Player so that it may be executed as its own process in the OS. Based on the setup you are describing, the behavior you're seeing should be expected since the browser is the host environment for the Flash Player. When the browser recieves the resulting message of the fscommand("quit") call nothing will happen since the browser doesn't support this command. If you use the Flash projector or stand-alone players however, they will exit when recieving the results of this command. The projector/stand-alone players come in two flavors, release and debug. Release will act very closely to the typical plugin installed in the web browser (e.g. - swallows errors, no debug support, etc) whereas debug will allow you to write log files to the system, show error messages, etc. Currently the debug stand-alones are available on Windows, Mac, Linux and the release stand-alone is only available on Linux.
To address your questions:
1. If you've installed the Flash Player browser plugin, there is no way that I know of to launch the player as its own process. I've only had success using the projector/stand-alone player (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html).
2. The Flash Player does have the ability to send javascript to the browser to ask it to close the current window, but most modern browser will prompt the user to confirm they'd like to close the window if its the only open window. Additionally, taking this approach on Mac, the browser process would remain active until an explicit call is made to the host OS to shut down the browser process. The Ant task could be enhanced to use the browser to launch the Flash Player, but that is not currently on our checklist of features to support. If it's something you'd be interested in contributing, let me know and I can work with you on this.
3. For the time being the FlexUnit4 Ant task only supports the stand-alone Flash Player (and adl soon), which for Windows only comes in the debug flavor. The only thing I've run into with the stand-alone player is that ExternalInterface reports that its enabled, but since the host environment is not the browser, javascript calls made via this class will fail, consequently causing tests to fail. I haven't tried anything with shared objects or flashvars but my assumption is that they should work correctly, but anything that depends on the browser has the potential not to.
As far as your testing management goes, I would discuss with them the problem context FlexUnit4 hopes to solve. The framework is intended to produce unit and integration tests. Functional testing is not withing the scope of the library. Although, it's technically feasible to write integration tests which will exercise components similarly to a functional test, tools such as FlexMonkey, Selenium Flex, QTP, etc are much better geared towards this problem domain. Test recording and playback, using these tools, is typically done using the FP browser plugin and is much easier to use by most QA and testing staff. At the end of the day, as we're testing our code using FlexUnit at a smaller granularity than that of which the user interacts with in our application. To reliably test the applicaiton as the user would interact with it requires additional tooling and a different type of testing.
Like I said, just my take, maybe some of the other guys can help as well.

How can I install the Flash Debug Player in Internet Explorer 10?

I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/11/flashplayer_11_ax_debug.exe - however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody knwo how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

I do not know, but check if there is anything useful in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

Debug player is not running, but is installed?

Hi I have installed numerous times the debug player for firefox and also for IE.
But still the regular player is running in the browsers? I uninstalled all players with the uninstall tool but still I get no debug player running in my browser. This way I can't debug my application.
Does anybody know why the player is still the regular one and not the debug player after installing the debug player version?
And does anybody has a solution for it? Is there maybe something I need to do during uninstall or something because until now I have no idea what to do further.
Kind regards.

What's your SWF development environment? Flash Builder, Flash Professional?
I think these applications handle the debugger differently.
Can you please try the following:
Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. (on 64-bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash)
Open the mms.cfg file.
Add the following entries:
ErrorReportingEnable=1
TraceOutputFileEnable=1
MaxWarnings=50
Now try to run the SWF file.
Go to the location mentioned above and open the flashlog.txt created.
See if it logs errors.

Video doesn't play while audio does during playback

I use FCE 1.0.1 and since I upgraded to Leopard I have had a little problem. When I put the video setting in Fire-Wire, it plays fine with audio playing through my camcorder. But when I put the video setting in Real Time to play the audio through my speakers, the video doesn't play while the audio is playing fine. After 5 or 6 seconds, the audio stops playing too.
My G5 is a single 1.8 GHz processor and I am running 10.5.1
Anything?

I appreciate your insight with this. If I could ask one more set of questions; Would you recommend the "upgrade" linked below or the Full version? And what will be the practical differences for me the user?
I have started a new project in version 1.0.1 (capturing and a few edits, etc) since upgrading to Leopard. Will all of my work be there with either upgrade or full version after install?
Thanks so much.

The play button on HTML5 video doesn't work, however the play option in the context menu does

I have embedded a video using HTML5 using the mp4, webm, and ogg formats.
In Firefox the video poster displays as do the native controls. When the video is clicked on (either on the poster or the play button on the controls) the poster disappears to be replaced with the first frame of the video. However the video then fails to play.
If i right click over the video and select play it plays fine, similarly if i then click the pause button it pauses, the play button still does not work though.
The video plays in all other browsers that i have tested in without an issue.

Hi Obverse,
Thank you for contacting support. To better understand how the video is embedded, could you please post a link to the video or an example of where the HTML play button does not play a video?

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies

Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
*Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:

Hey Igor, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Sorry that you have been experiencing problems with the video playback, have you tried performing a soft reset yet? This will not remove any data, only reset the device settings back to how they where when new.
To perform a soft reset firstly create a backup using Nokia Suite, then type in *#7780# in your phone and the security code 12345 by default if prompted.
If it does not work, you could also try and download a video playing app from Nokia Store to see if video playback functions better on it.
I hope this has helped!

Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
"-vcodec mpeg4"
"-vcodec mpeg2video"
If you have any idea please help me

The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.
