Which Plugin for Streaming video?

I am getting prompts from Quicktime for a missing plugin. I assume its related to streaming video fom sites I am viewing on Safari. I am directed to the codec download page for Quicktime. But I have no idea which plugin to download. I have current Quicktime Pro. My Quicktime Viewer is 7.1.3. I'm using a G5 Quad (non intel) with OS 10.4.8.
Is there a QT plugin which will accomodate a wide range of streaming video?

Can you post the URL to these videos your trying to view?
Flip4Mac is one plugin you may need, it's free for view only.

Mac book pro verses iMac(intel)for streaming video

Mac book pro verses iMac (intel) for streaming video (skpying) which one would you recommend?

Neither one is particularly advantageous. Streaming video will take a considerable amount of power, meaning you'll probably want to keep a MBP's power adapter connected.

Hi naturalfemale,
As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
Additional Information
Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.
OS X: Using captioning features in Mavericks

At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

What is the best flash app for an S3 for streaming video?

What is the best flash app for an S3 for streaming video?

Flash Player 11, but you have to sideload if you lost it.

Adobe stopped support a while ago for it. They are replacing Flash Player with Air. WatchESPN for example uses Air.

Is there any way to change a title for streaming video in QT Pro?

I'm trying to follow several streaming feeds at the same time, all with unhelpful titles.
For example, this is the URL I'm using to view the ROV 2 feed for Discoverer Enterprise.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327
which results in the title, reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327.

Actually, what I was wanting to know is if I could just change the title while watching the streaming video rather than saving the feed. I can do this in a VLC playlist but I can't seem to figure out how to open multiple windows for feeds in VLC. Also, VLC doesn't let me go back in the cached feed to see and/or save snippets which I can easily do in QuickTime Pro.
I have been able to save the streaming feeds like this although I have the $30 upgrade for Flip4Mac which I needed to export for YouTube. There may be a way to do the same thing with something free but I know less than nothing about video and this worked.
Move the playhead slider to start of snippet
Type "i" to get slider for start of snippet
Move the playhead slider to end of snippet
Type "o" to get slider for end of snippet
Adjust the "i" and "o" sliders if needed.
Right click on the feed and choose copy.
Go to File -> New Player (command N)
Go to Edit -> Paste (command V)
Go to File -> Save (command S) and save as self-contained movie
After that I use the file I just saved with the directions on YouTube to export it to a file that will process on their site.
Here is an example that shows a ROV being lowered from the deck of its mothership into the water.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsYinE5cNx8
I saved it from this streaming feed which I loaded into QuickTime Pro (File -> Open URL or command U and paste URL). I seem to recall I needed the free Flip4Mac to view this in QuickTime.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:47175.asx?bkup=21144
I'm all set with what I want to do other than being able to change the titles on the feeds as I'm watching them in QuickTime Pro.

No full screen option for streaming video podcasts??

Why does Apple have to make things so difficult at times for something that should be so obvious and straightforward? Anyone know how to view streaming video podcasts in full screen?

Turning off the TV safe area is to prevent parts of the images from being lost, which is not the issue here. The problem I'm having is that there there are black bars around the entire displayed image. I believe this is called windowboxing. Letterboxing has black bars at top and bottom of screen, pillarboxing has the black bars at the left and right of screen. It's all to do with the ratio of the photographs.
My photos were all taken with a digital camera and are 4:3 ratio. I want the images to display FULL SCREEN. They are not doing this - not on a TV monitor - and not on a computer monitor!!! Is windowboxing hard-wired into the iDVD themes? This can't be right. PLEASE HELP!!!

Encoder to Server URL for streaming video??

I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. To complete the process of streaming video, it appears that I need to obtain a "server URL address" which is called "RTMP" on the encoder page. Where can I find this? Is this something that can be downloaded, or do I have to purchase this from a partner like Level 3 communications, AT&T, etc.? Any information on this would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

You can give the URL as "rtmp://localhost/live"
where rtmp is the protocol used for streaming from FMLE to FMS.
localhost is the name or IP address of the machine on which FMS is. I have used localhost becuase i have assumed that your FMLE and FMS are on same machine else use IP adrress or name if the machine on which FMS is instead of localhost.
Live is the apploiction that is there in applocations folder of FMS.
then in stream name give any name you want to give

FLV files set for streaming video not working

Hi,
I have been using Captivate 4 for some time using imported FLV and progressive download options. Playback is too slow, so I am trying to use a streaming service (Limelight Networks Flash Video Streaming Service). I took an existing Captivate project, uploaded the FLV file to the streaming service and select the following in Captivate under the Flash Video tab:
Video type: Streaming video
Server URI: points to server, app, instance from provider (eg: rtmp://xxx.net/yyy/zzz...)
Stream name: filename.flv
I publish (htm and swf files are local, flv is on the streaming provider's machine) and try to playback. Captivate loads and after a time I get an error saying that a script is causing the flashplayer to run slowly (version 10). It then locks up (tested in IE, Firefox and Chrome). I've changed options in Captivate such as Flashplayer version (from 8-10) and buffer delay, to no avail. No video played. Previously the video played in the project as a progressive download.
Help appreciated!

Hi Ashwin,
This still hasn't worked for us. We have been given a server name in this format: rtmp://server.name.net/ and an application name in the format app/name, which together form a url: rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
Then I have the move file in a subdirectory (/test) from this base url and finally the filename: myvideo.flv
So putting it together I have tried in Captivate:
Streaming
field 1: rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
field 2: /test/myvideo.flv
or
rtmp://server.name.net/app/name/test
myvideo.flv
or
rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
/test/myvideo
and other combations of these three. I've eliminated the flv extension, tried with and without preceding (/) and trailing (/) (eg: /test/... vs test/... or).
None of these seem to work. I can play the flv directly using a client called WIMPY so I know the streaming service works. With that client I enter a fully qualified path such as: rtmp:/server.name.net/app/name/test/myvideo.flv and it works flawlessly.
Thanks for your assistance.

Airport Extreme's support for streaming video NOT reliable for RealPlayer

AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATIONS DO NOT RELIABLY PROVIDE STREAMING SUPPORT USING NORMAL TRANSPORTS FOR REALPLAYER.
Based on a problem I've had for a long time and information provided in RealPlayer OnLine Help, it appears that the Airport Extreme Base Stations do not reliably provide streaming support using normal transports for RealPlayer.
HERE'S THE REASON FOR CONCLUDING THAT
Even after updating with the latest software and firmware available for my Airport Extreme Base Station, RealPlayer will not play streaming video when my iMac is online via my Airport Extreme Base Station.
(The configuration is iMac (non-wireless) --> Ethernet cable --> Airport Extreme Base Station --> DSL modem.
Note that with that configuration I can browse the internet and play audio through RealPlayer - even though I cannot play streaming video.
In contrast, when my iMac is connected directly to my DSL modem via an Ethernet cable, then I have no trouble playing streaming video in RealPlayer.
HERE'S THE "WORK AROUND" SOLUTION I'M USING
In RealPlayer/Preferences/Transport, I selected to use HTTP transport exclusively.
Here's where to find details of that solution in RealPlayer's OnLine Help:
In RealPlayer's Help menu, choose RealPlayer Online Help. Scroll down the left side of RealPlayer's help window to find the section Troubleshooting -> Network/Connectivity -> Wireless Issues.
CREDIT FOR PUBLICISING THE "WORK AROUND" SOLUTION IN APPLE DISCUSSIONS
I found the aforementioned "work around" solution in a posting in this forum by Greg Robbins on Sep 2, 2005.
The topic in which I found that posting has been archived - replies are not allowed.
I am posting this topic to clarify the deficiency in Airport Extreme, and to help keep this solution available for the Mac community.

Dynamic Playlist for streaming video

This is my first attempt at building a dynamic playlist for
streaming flash video and I'm following the tutorial at
"macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html". I've
changed the paths to my FMS and loaded the video files to the
applications directory of the FMS (flash_applications/videosource).
The thumbnails load and the player skin loads but the videos do not
load when I click on the thumbnails.
I've read the earlier post about this same issue. I followed
the advice from that post and reloaded the 'main.asc' file from my
Flash 8 program files but the video still does not play.
Here is a link to the site so you can see the problem:
http://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/VideoSource1.swf
My FMS is 'media.us.elsevierhealth.com'
I believe my code is correct and I believe the paths I've
created are correct. If someone could review my code and check the
path info I would appreciate it. Here is the code from
'VideoSource1.as'
import mx.video.*;
//Set up the list box, call function VideoThumb to create the
actual thumbnails
list.rowHeight = 70;
list.cellRenderer = "VideoThumb";
list.selectable = true;
//create new empty listener object
listListener = {};
nc = new NetConnection(); //create a connection
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
//connect to FCS (nav.attributes.url)
ns = new NetStream(nc); //create a stream
ns.connect(); //connect the stream
nc.connect("rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource");
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
stream_ns.play("video2.flv");
// Create function to trace all the status info.
function traceStatus(info) {
Message.text+="Level: " + info.level + " Code: " +
info.code+"\n";
} // Assign this function to onStatus handlers when you
create objects.
//Function to handle what happens when an item in the list is
selected
listListener.change = function( evtobj ) {
var nav = list.dataProvider[list.selectedIndex];
var reset = true;
for ( var i = 0; i < nav.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var stream = nav.childNodes
if ( stream.nodeName == "stream" ) {
attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "my_FLVPlybk", 10, {width:320,
height:240, x:90, y:100});
//center the FLVPlayback component when FLV is ready to play
var listenerObject
bject = new Object();
listenerObject.resize = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
//center video in playback area
newx = (460 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredWidth)/2;
newy = (470 - my_FLVPlybk.preferredHeight)/2;
my_FLVPlybk._x = newx;
my_FLVPlybk._y = newy;
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("resize", listenerObject);
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject
bject):Void {
my_FLVPlybk.setSize(250, 350);
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "ClearExternalAll.swf";
my_FLVPlybk.clear();
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath =
"rtmp://media.us.elsevierhealth.com/videosource/stream/_definst_/"
+ stream.attributes.name+".flv";
my_FLVPlybk.autoSize = true;
trace(my_FLVPlybk.contentPath);
reset = false;
//Add an event listener on the list, when it triggers, run
the listListener function to repopulate the list
list.addEventListener("change", listListener);
//Function that loads the XML file, parses it, and builds the
list of available video clips
var xmllist = new XML(); //setup a variable to hold the XML
xmllist.ignoreWhite = true;
xmllist.load( "playlist-demo-1.xml" ); //load the XML file
//The following gets called when the XML has been loaded
xmllist.onLoad = function( status ) {
if ( !status )
trace( status );
var entries = this.childNodes[0];
var playlists = {};
var nav = [];
for ( var i = 0; i < entries.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var entry = entries.childNodes;
if ( entry.nodeName == "listitem" )
//builds array of video clip names
playlists[entry.attributes.name] = entry;
else if ( entry.nodeName == "menu" ) {
//builds array of available videos
for ( var j = 0; j < entry.childNodes.length; j++ )
nav[j] = playlists[entry.childNodes[j].attributes.name];
} //end else if
} //end if
//sends the array of videos to the listbox UI
list.dataProvider = nav;
} //end xmllist.onload
Any advice or troubleshooting will be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

I just used the server on Windows (as opposed to linux) and
it worked great. So the issue, at least for me and my issue (could
see the thumbnails, couldn't play the video) was windows vs. Linux.
I guess the linux version doesn't work with this exact script. Now
to put together something of my own to test to see if the linux
version works right.

No suitable plugins were found when trying to install plugin for watching video

When trying to watch videos on my web site (www.ruivilela.com), they won't play. I get a message that a plugin is needed. When I click on Install plugins, I get a message that no suitable plugins were found.
I really don't know what to do because I cannot even find out which plugin(s) is/are missing... I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash...
Does anyone know anything about this?
Thanks!

That may be mp4 media files that are played by the QuickTime player.

Best practice for streaming video with quickly (2-5 sec) changing sources

Hi!
In my flex app I have a videodisplay, which should change its
source every 2-5 seconds to an other clip (and or an other playhead
time). Im trying to reduce the buffering times between the source
changes, so that the resulting video plays without interceptions.
To reduce the buffering times i've tried multiple video instances
which preload its new source while an other instance is playing its
clip.
Are there better ways for doing this? Could SMIL be a
solution?
Thanks!

There are several ways you can do this:
1) If you really want to just reduce buffer times, while
continuing to switch clips manually, you can use the "2-phase
buffering" approach that developers commonly use to reduce startup
times. Just before you switch, set the buffer size to something
very small (0.5 secs is common). This will allow the buffer to fill
rapidly. When you get the buffer full status event, set it to
something more stable, like 2 secs, or 5 secs. Note that there will
always be a small gap in playback with this approach, but that may
be acceptable for your app.
2) Use client-side playlists. You can add your short clips to
the playlist using NetStream.play(reset=false). Each one will play
in turn, with no gap in between. This is a very powerful technique,
but it does require you to know somewhat in advance what clips
needs to be added to the list. If you need to switch immediately,
you'll still end up with a small gap in playback.
3) Flash Player 10, in combination with an upcoming release
of Flash Media Server, will support a feature called "Dynamic
Streaming" that will allow for seamless transitions between clips,
with very little latency. This may not help you out right now, but
be on the lookout for it!

Best QT export format for streaming video

I have a video clip placed in an iWeb web page which will be viewed (of course) by Windows users.
What's the best format to export and allow the widest compatibility with Windows browsers? I have a laptop running XP (SP 2), have just downloaded and installed the latest available QT for Windows software, and when trying to play the movie I get an alert advising "a component is needed which is not available on the server."
At present the video clip seems to download, and I get a control bar which will play the sound, but no video.
Suggestions?
I have QT Pro.
Ken

Guys,
Thanks for this info. Can I make sure I read right and ask a couple more questions re sharing movies on the web:
1) Exporting
Export: Movie to Quicktime Movie
Use: Streaming-Medium (even if there is no 'streaming'
Options>Video>Settings>Compression Type MPEG-4 .. and leave the other items as is?
Sound: Now I have to ask something here. When I use the defauly AAC it sound like it's being recorded underwater. I have been using Qualcomm Purevoice for no other reason than it suggests that speech comes out better! And it seems to. Please advise. Other settings leave as is?
Prepare for Internet streaming: Select Fast Start-Compressed Header
- interestingly, the big 'Q' often just sits there when you click on the movie so I don't know when and how this setting actually works.
2) Extracting Sound from a QT movie
I am going to take the sound of one movie and apply it to another, using, presumeably, Export: AIFF ... what settings should I use? In this case I want it to be high quality for use in a DVD. The default setting appeared to come up as mono
3) Is there a utility to concatenate QT movies? I found one once on Version Tracker, but it always seemed to fall over.
4) Concatenating QT files. We all know that if you do a copy-paste concatenation, then delete a component file, it screws up (can't find file). Yet, if you merely change the length of one of the component files, it isn't reflected in the concatenated file ... also, if you cut a piece out of a QT movie and then merely save it (cmd-S) it does not reduce the overall size of the file by that amount unless you save as self-contained to another name... how the dickens do you work most efficiently with them? Are there all these rogue pieces of unreferenced, excess movie clips now littering my hard drive?
Really appreciate your help.
