'video from url' linking and intranet files - indesign cc

i am using the media panel and attempting to link to .mp4 files stored on an intranet site. getting the error message 'download failed because the url could not be verified'
the computer which is creating the indesign files does not have access to the intranet site. i assume this is a requirement? has anyone any experience of how to get around this?

@Tomasz – Bob is right, something must be wrong with your InDesign CS6.
Just tested in my version of CS5 and CS5.5. All is working as expected…
For this configuration I'm on OSX 10.6.8 with InDesign CS5 v.7.0.4 or InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.3.
The icon in the media panel is not grayed out and I can invoke the dialog:
And you are absolutely sure, that you did not select a text frame instead of a graphic frame?
(Sorry for that question, but it will not work if you select a text fame.)

"Place video from URL" not working in InDesign CC 9.1

Has anyone come across why an H.264 encoded mp4 file won't embed into InDesign CC, but will in CS6? Last week I upgraded from Indesign 9.0 (where it was working) to Indesign 9.1 (where it no longer works). Specifically, I'm using the "Place video from URL" option.
* I've tried several different servers to host the mp4 file (the servers do work). The mp4 URLs on each server do work in a browser, but not in Indesign CC.
* I've tried placing the mp4 URL in CS6 and that works fine.
* I've tried a coworker's Indesign CC, that didn't work.
* I've tried making a brand new file in Indesign CC, that didn't work.
I'm running InDesign 9.1 on Mac OS 10.8.5. It looks like Indesign 9.1 broke the "Place video from URL" Does anybody have a fix?
matt

Salah, thank you for the suggestion. However, when trying to paste the embed code into the "Place video from URL" field gets the following error, "The URL must start with 'http://' or 'rtmp://' and must end with a valid file extension."
Using the embed code never worked with Indesign--even before I was having the problems with the URL placement.

Placing a video from URL - Youtube

Youtube converts videos to MPEG-4 H.264 format which is suppose to be supported for the placing a video from url tool in InDesign CS5.5.
Does anyone knwo why this does not work? I nwo that it can be done by creating a flash player, but not interested in the extra work.

You cannot link directly to the video stream on YouTube - the URLs point to an HTML fragment which in turn loads an instance of their player widget, so InDesign doesn't see it as a valid rich media format.
The only legal way to play YT-hosted videos within a non-HTML document is to implement their public API within your own Flash project, and embed the SWF as a rich media object. Joel Geraci wrote a SWF wrapper for use in PDF files which does this.

When uploading video from go pro and sonyhandy cam, takes forever and clips says hidden camera

Tried to upload video from sony handycam and also gopro...takes hours, and only can view the first half of clips. The rest of the clips have ? and say hidden camera. This is in Imovie. Both camera's are on the imovie compatible list. Any ideas?

I am only bumping your post up, I do not know what is going on. You have probably finalized your project by now. My first thought is you mention nested scene sequences and I thought the edl process would not accept nest. I would have to navigate off to re-research that statement.
Why I reply is I have been testing the edl process and have been able to achieve sucess with exporting edl with audio as 'none' but failure to import edl with WAV audio into Speedgrade.
Yes, another member has a post regarding 'Major EDL Export BUG in 8.2!' in this pasted link
MAJOR EDL Export BUG in 8.2!
which is error with respect to WAV, and same error results as I am seeing with my WAV edl export text files
My research has led me to your post and I find it very interesting. Thanks for the details. I am not done with my research, just using all the data to see how I can include audio in an edl without error. My previous method was to export the edl without audio and import the audio separately. I now want to include audio,
another thought is your text files - they appear short, as in they say FROM CLIP NAME: (clip name), but no file extension
EDIT: I think the problem I am having with exporting edl WAV files is that the edl text file does not show the .wav file extension. I can export an edl and have the WAV file extension show, but it is not the sequence that I want to export as an edl. The sequence that does export out the edl file extension is the sequence where I cut sections of audio into my next sequence. It behaves like your nested sequence not giving file extension.
Thats all I can say is that my edl isn't giving me a file extension for my WAV due to it being cut from another sequence.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message 'An error as occurred. Please try again later'. It has been this way for some weeks. I don't have this problem using Safari or Opera.

I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.

How do I transfer my pictures and videos from my iPhone and IPad on the time capsule?

You cannot use Apple TV.. again the TC is not a media device and has no media extensions.
You can store video files on the TC.. but the ATV must work either via airplay so you run the video on an ipad for instance and send the screen view to the apple tv or you have itunes running on a computer.
BTW a WD live TV can play video files from a TC.. because it is a true media player.. the Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer.

Video from URL, show controller on poster

Hi,
When you place a Video from URL, it allows you to specify the controller, and whether you want it to appear on rollover. Is there a way to set it so that the controller appears before the movie starts playing, to identify it as a movie clip, similar to the large play button you often see on videos in webpages?
Thanks!

Found that there is a bug, have to go inside the itunes phone menu, and find a playlist, that nobody created. That playlist makes the phone think it has the videos inside, when it doesn't. Have to delete these videos from the list and then you can put videos on the phone again. Really annoying when it happens because it gives no clue of what's going on!

Play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?

play video from apple tv and audio from macbook , its possible, please ?
because i dont have airport and i have a micro plugged to my speakers

If you mean "can I play a video file's video part via AppleTV and the audio part via the Macbook" then the answer is no.
You could probably play the video on AppleTv and also play it on the Macbook and output the audio, but you would have to do this manually, and 2 applications accessing the same video file might cause stuttering playback issues. Additionally you'd have to manually sync the audio and lip sync problems are annoying at the best of times.
If you mean "can I watch a video from AppleTV and play separate music via iTunes on the Macbook", then the answer is yes.

The way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link

I guess this feature is not supported, but let me ask one thing.
I am looking for the way to open 3D pdf with specific model selection from url link.
For example, if the following link is opened, is it possoble to open 3d.pdf with automatic selection of "abc" model in the model tree?
http://example.org/3d.pdf#model=abc
If it can be done by javascript, it's really helpful.

Impossible. There are only very limited command-line options for the Acrobat Family and you cannot change them.

If you look at the preferences for Flashblock (access from the extensions window of the add-ons manager) and choose Whitelist, you can add a site to that window, and that site will not be blocked by Flashblock at all. You will not even see the Flashblock icon.

Repeated problem of broken link and unused files

Hi ,
I am using RH8.0.2
I have updated my RH8 to RH8.0.2 and then fix all broken link and did what was advised.i got result, everything was fine, I was a happy man. Today when i open the same project for updation, i found again plenty of broken links and unused file in the same project.
Is there any permanent solution of the problem of broken links and unused file or i have to fix it every time when i open my project?
Plz help!!!
Br,
Rahul

Hi Rahul.
Two things. Firstly some of the paths you have in your project are very long. In the example you have given we are seeing less than half the path. This may not be the problem but it maybe in the future. Secondly, as Peter has suggested, the problem maybe related to source control. Do you use it? I have heard of instances where (e.g. .FPJ) files cause issues.

How do I stop spotlight from returning .r and .h files

how do I stop spotlight from returning .r and .h files?

Hello jtenny,
Welcome to the Discussions.
I had a similar problem with Safari opening .pdf files. It went away when I went into the following folder: Your Home Folder/Library/Internet Plug-ins, and dragged out any files that looked as if they might make a difference, just one at a time, onto the Desktop. (N.B. I did not Trash them; and if removal made no difference, I replaced the file into the Plug-ins folder.) You will have to restart Safari on each occasion; and on a couple of occasions I found that re-setting Safari (Safari Menu) was necessary to give the application a start-from-scratch with each download attempt.
That's a somewhat makeshift way of approaching it; but provided you don't trash the plugins, and provided you restore those that make no difference, it can't do any harm -- within my experience anyway.
All good wishes from Ireland
Martin

Cant play any videos from you tube and dailymotion

hello i have upgraded from win to windows 8 pro x64.i have the next problem:i cant play any video from you tube and dailymotion with IE 10,with firefox i have not any problem.what can i do?

Have you been able to successfully import these videos into iTunes? If so, use iTunes built in converter to convert it to a more iTunes friendly format. To do this, highligh the video and choose "Create iPhone or iPod version" from the Advanced drop down menu in iTunes.
When it has finished converting, try syncing the new version to your Nano.
