Video only working offline

Hi all,
I'm having a small problem with a website.
http://www.homemakeruk.co.uk/about.html
I have placed a video in my page but it is only playing offline. When the site is live online, the video fails to play.
Any ideas why? Here is the code:
<div id="AboutUsVideo">
      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="365" height="224" id="FlashID" title="Homemakers video">
        <param name="movie" value="Flash/video.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        
        <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Flash/video.swf" width="365" height="224">
          
          <param name="quality" value="high" />
          <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
          <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
          <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
          
          <div>
            <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
            <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a></p>
          </div>
          
        </object>
        
      </object>
    </div>
Thanks

Almost always when a Flash file works offline but not on line, it's because of a pathing issue... that is the .swf is not finding associated files.
Now that can be casued by a number of problems:
Not all files uploaded
Files uploaded to wrong folders
File names incorrect... servers are case sensative so MyVid.mp4 is not the same as myvid.mp4
Paths to associated files are not relative to the HTML page
Also noticed that your code says you are using swfversion (Flash version) 6.0.65.... is that true? If so, that version will not play mp4s.Is your video an mp4 or flv?
So to clear this all up, show us a link to the actual video file on the server... NOT the .swf but rather the video file itself.
It should be something like this:
http://www.homemakeruk.co.uk/Flash/my_video.mp4
or whatever the absolute URL to your video file is.
Until you can directly type that URL into your browser and directly download the video file, your browser will never find it... and of course if you are using a Flash version that does not play .mp4 files... then that won't work either.

For review:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
Best wishes,

New embed QT_WriteOBJECT only works offline

QT_WriteOBJECT only works offline. Online I get an expected object error, which is obviously the AC_QuickTime.js because I get that same error offline when I move this file out of my website folder. Also tried creating a new html page under Dreamweaver but still without success.
http://www.twistar.net/33-Preview.html
Three new bugs I didn't have with QuickTime 7 before:
1. The error described above
2. Crash if DirectDraw enabled with NVIDIA Forceware 162.18
3. Instant program close when setting export details
I hope that the compatibility issues with NVIDIA will get fixed soon.

Thank you, thank you. No, I did not have the movie set for self containment. I just checked the box, exported, shut down scratch disk AND the movie plays just fine. I knew it was something simple that a novice would overlook.
Thanks again.

.rotation on Video() only works on videos smaller than 5mb. Bug, any workarounds?

UPDATE: Found some reliable reproduction on my end.
Shorter videos tend to rotate just fine, longer videos tend to not rotate but become parallelograms. All on one build. Is there perhaps some metadata tags I need to add to my videos?
UPDATE: Found more reliable repro.
.mp4 files smaller than 5mb have no problem rotating, .mp4 files over 5mb do not rotate, they only skew.
Using standard netstream/netconnection/video setup for streaming video, any mp4 files over 5mb will not rotate when using video.rotation
Videos larger than 5mb skew by the number of degrees you specify, but not rotate.
Videos smaller than 5mb rotate by the number of degrees, and do not skew
100% reproducable on my end: Win 7 x64, Flash Pro CS6 (12.0.2.529), testing on PC and several android devices of varying make/model.
Questions:
-Is this air for android specific?
-Is there a workaround?
-Does this happen on screen rotate too? (It happens when rotating the entire swf, when rotating the parent, and when rotating the parent's parent.)
-Does this happen with older versions of Air for Android, and/or actionscript?
OLD THREAD:
This has been very problematic for me.
When I try to use video.rotation = 90; in code, rather than rotating the video 90 degrees, it disappears. But this only happens sometimes when I publish. I can make zero changes, clear publish cache, and sometimes it is broken like this, sometimes it isn't and works perfectly fine. I can't figure out what is changing to make it compile differently. I've tried in all render modes (publishing to Android, so: Direct, CPU, GPU, Auto) with no changes in this specific behavior.
I've tried putting the video inside of a movieclip, and rotating the movieclip only, and it still occurs.
I've tried directly copy/pasting another successfully rotating item's code to video, same problem still occurs.
I've tried re-ordering it, and putting rotation before and after x/y/w/h changes, removing x/y/w/h changes, same problem.
Restarting my computer usually fixes the problem for 1-2 solid publishes before it starts happening again.
The code is located towards the bottom of this post.
I've tried changing the rotation to 45, and I figured out how the video disappears, but not why. video rotation goes from rotating the whole video, to only moving the right-most points, and creates a parallelogram.
(Height and Width are pre-established variables, with values partaining to the overall container size, which is not always 768*432 ratio)
video.x = Width;
video.y=0;
video.width = Height;
video.height = video.width/768*432;
video.rotation=90;
Please tell me I am just missing something incredibly simple here, and that this is not a bug.

i don't see a problem testing on flash pro cs6 win 7 pro 64bit using an flvplayback component and a 964 MB mp4.

Problems with Firefox 13. Can't see online audio file player. Video only works on some sites. All works OK in I.E. Updated Flash. No Change

Problems began when Firefox 13 automatically updated. tried downloading latest version of Flash 11.2.202.235. No change.
Video works sometimes on YouTube, not at all on most other sites.
Audio player not working at all. Either not even visible or downloads to real player versus playing within application such as Amazon.
Tried enabling/disabling Add ons to find culprit. No luck.
Everything as it should be in Internet Explorer.
On my WordPress site has MP3 audio files, and uses a flashplayer to display and play music files. With flash player on, nothing displays at all, (bank space where audio player would normally be displayed)
If I disable shock wave flash, a text link is displayed that downloads the MP3 in a new window (quick player), Also video doesn't work on any website. If I disable Flash and quicktime, text link to audio file downloads to realplayer.

hello msandman, there have been quite a few issues with adobe's latest flash update - can you try if flash content is showing up correctly again, when you disable the real-player components like mentioned in the following article: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]?
otherwise you could also try to remove flash 11.3 from the windows control panel/programs section & [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrade to the 10.3 branch of the plugin], which is still receiving security updates.

Importing video only working on one machine

I have iTunes running on my desktop PC and over recent weeks have ripped most of my DVDs into MP4 files. Then using home sharing I can play these films on my new Apple TV.
This all works fine
But I have no desire to leave my desktop PC running 24x7 just to serve movies to ATV as this would use a lot of energy so I tried to set up a virtual PC on my home server which could run 24x7 and run iTunes on that. No matter what I tried, I could not get iTunes on that VM to import movies (the same files that ran fine on my desktop PC) so I put it down to a lack of resources on the VM.
So I have now built a new desktop PC specifically to be used for iTunes. Running WIndows 7 and iTunes and nothing else, this machine also refuses to let me import the MP4 files into iTunes.
I have Quicktime installed and the settings in iTunes as identical to the other desktop but it refuses to let me import movies. The exact same movies that are working just fine on my other desktop PC.
So what gives?
lLearly the MP4 files are compatible with iTunes as they are working just fine on my old PC but not on the new one.
Am i going mad? Has anybody else come across this before?

I'm going to add to this.
I have just discovered that if I access the iTunes library on the old desktop from the new one via Home Sharing, I can use the import button to copy the movies from one machine to the other. They play fine and stream to ATV fine from here.
The only thing that is odd is that when the file arrives in the new iTunes library, if there was no embeded album art, there is no auto generated thumbnail!
So clearly the MP4 files CAN play on the new machine so this is very much an oddity
I'm now sure I'm going mad here. Anybody?

Streaming video only works in F3 preview

I'm using Captivate 7, the video I'm attempting to insert is an .mp4 and it is hosted by kaltura.com. (I created the video, so would change the format if necessary ,the kaltura.com account is my client's so I may not be able to answer questions about that side.)
When I use the Event Video option and provide the URL to the video, I can view it using the F3. But if I use a preview key (F10, F12) or try publishing to SWF, I get a Connection Error message over the loading icon where the video ought to be.
I also tried:
1 - Insert as a multi-slide syncronized video, I get a message that the URL is invalid. (Click through errors and a tiny video placeholder appears, but it just has a moving grey bar in previews.)
2 - Web object interaction - blank slide on preview/publish.
3 - Youtube interaction - blank slide on preview/publish.
Can anyone help me get this working? Thank you!
Jenny N

This is most likely due to Flash Global Security issues. Have you tried setting up the publish folder as a trusted location in Flash Global Security?

I downloaded firefox 4 and now it will only go to work offline how do I get on the internet

I cannot get on the interet. I downloaded firefox 4 and it says it will only work offline. where do I change this

'''rweeks''':
One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the "Save Tabs and Exit" warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
*<u>Saving tabs was not removed from Firefox 4</u>, but it works a bit differently.
**By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on exit. You can restore them next time by choosing "Restore Previous Session" from the History menu, or pressing the restore button on Firefox's default home page.
**''<u>Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users. The developes/employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.</u>''
Also make sure you do not clear "Browsing History" when using Clear Recent History:
*https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
To display the "Save Tabs and Exit" message when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:
#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:
#*'''''browser.warnOnQuit'''''
#*'''''browser.warnOnRestart'''''
#*'''''browser.showQuitWarning'''''

You are missing two plugins required to achieve your goal. Download [http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ Adobe Shockwave for Director] and download [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ Apple Quicktime] You need the latter plugin to support Shockwave.
Similarly, you can watch youtube in HTML5 now instead of Flash. All you need to do is to sign up to the HTML5 trial by clicking the link at the foot of this page: [http://www.youtube.com/html5 HTML5 Trial Signup] You don't have to fill in any forms.
But please check your plugins at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] site. Some of the others might be out of date.

I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.

There are threads ongoing on similar topics. This is not a suitable topic for this forum.
I will pass on any comments from the other threads and original post in this one, but I'm closing this topic and any further petitions like this as it will just result in "Creative-bashing" and unproducti've comments.

Video adapter only works for slide shows.

We received the Apple video adapter today. It appears that it only works for slide shows? It might also work for Keynote, but we don't use that much and haven't installed on the iPad. For our purposes, we'd like to be able to display from other programs- Numbers, Pages, and a PDF reader. This seems counterintuitive to business use if the adaptor isn't fully functional. We are hoping that a software upgrade will make the adaptor functional.

The iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter can play content to a VGA display when using the following apps:
Videos
Photos—Slideshow playback only
YouTube
Keynote
Safari—Video content on webpages
Whether Apple will add additional support in the future is unknown, but you can indicate your interest to Apple via their feedback page:

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...

Creative SB0410 digital out only works for dd/dts, not for stereo or web videos...
Hi all,
Need some suggestions here.
I have an old Creative sb0410 7.1 channel card and after reading few long threads, I am able to output dd/dts via 3.5mm to rca connector.
However, the problem is I only hear sound if the video has dd or dts sound. When I play normal MP3 or youtube videos, there is no sound.
Is there a way to configure the digital out so it sends all sound to the receiver whether it's dd or dts or regular stereo?
Thanks

As a workaround, I used another 3.5mm stereo to RCA adapter on stereo LR output of sound card and hooked to a different input in my receiver.
Problem, is I have to switch input in receiver for non DTS/DD sounds.
It's disappointing that my upscaling dvd player sends all sound signals via coax but this card does not.
Isn't it supposed to send all sound signals via coax regardless whether it is DTS/DD or normal stereo/mono etc?

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.
