WMV File not playing in AIR (RH8)

I imported a wmv file as a baggage file and then TOC'd a blank page that would link to the video.  When I produce the .air file and try to kick-off the video, nothing happens.
I've also set up the wmv as a hyperlink from within a topic.  That also does not kick off when the hyperlink is clicked in the .air file.  However, if I do a File Preview (glasses) from my Robohelp 8 Project and try the hyperlink, it will open a Media Player window and play the video.
Why won't the wmv play when produced in AIR?

Hmm,  I am not sure that a .wmv can play in AIR at all.
As i understand it, the RH AIR module is:
Flash player
.pdf reader
Browser  (webkit not Windows IE based)
I have never heard that a .wmv file would play the Adobe flash. Where did you get that info?
I just Googled ".wmv file player"  and the all the results discuss the Windows Media Player!

  • WMV Files Not Playing In Powerpoint For Mac 2011 (Lion OS)?

    Hi guys!
    I recently upgraded to Lion (and I think I like it) BUT I have been putting together a Power Point presentation for work (I'm a University Lecturer) and trying to embed some movies with no luck... I insert the files and go to play them, but all I get is audio. I have tried MOV, AVI, WMV, MP4, etc, etc... no joy. I have tried Flip 4 Mac, QuickTime and VLC... no joy. When I play the embedded file, no video, just audio!
    Before I upgraded to Lion, it was esy... convert the clips, inset into PowerPoint, and away I go!
    HELP!!!

    I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

  • FLV files not playing once AIR is published

    Hi,
    I'm devloping an AIR application in Flash CS5 and man I'm having fun!
    My current problem has to do with Flash videos that aren't playing once the Air file is published.  In the development environment they play fine but all f my rpoblems with Air seem to occur after publishing,  I did code the playing a bit differently than usual in that I passed the relative path to the video file once it was playing.  Are relative paths ok in Air?
    I'd appeciate any advice.
    Best regards,
    Chris McLaughlin

    The solution lied in using an absolute path to the video files using: appPathStr
    videoURL = appPathStr + "/SubdirectoryName/videoName.flv"

  • HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

    I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
    Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively!  I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on  a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

    Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
    Container & general information:
    MPEG-PS: 290 Mib  4min22s
    1 Video stream: MPEG video
    1 Audio stream: AC-3
    First Video Stream:

  • Although it is demand, or can not support ogg? In it to support Flash IDE, you can not play in AIR SDK.

    Although it is demand, or can not support ogg? In it to support Flash IDE, you can not play in AIR SDK.

    Looking at this page as an example:
    mp3licensing.com - Royalty Rates
    the information seems to be six years old. I haven't heard about anyone being sued for not registering their app. I'll ask Adobe for an opinion on this.

  • Microsoft wmv files to play on iphone

    How do I import a Microsoft .wmv file and play it on my iphone?

    Imagine engine,
    For further information that requires you have a codec installed to read WMV files in Quicktime.
    Since Microsoft hasn't updated Windows Media Player for Mac in a while, they now provide a link to such a codec from their Mac support site.
    Hope this helps,

  • .mp3 compressed audio stream dose not play in AIR

    Hi All,
    We are trying to load stream audio file with mp3 compression in the AIR app using the follwoing code using FLash CS4 -
    var snd:Sound = new Sound();      
    snd.load(new URLRequest(""http://67.159.30.133""));
    snd.play();
    This works fine when we publish for flashPlayer 9/10. When we try to publish it using AIR the sound dose not play.
    We have tested with another approach, where we are loading sound with .flv compression. Here we are using NetConnection and NetStream method to play the sound. With .flv compression it works well in both flash player version as well AIR versions. On the other side when we try to use NetConnection and NetStream method to play .mp3 compressed audio stream it dose not pl when we publish in AIR or flashplayer.
    If anyone having any info to play .mp3 compressed format in AIR file will be very much appreciable.

  • Downloaded WMV files not showing video

    When receive an email with a .wmv file, it appears to download correctly.  When I attempt to play the file, the normal controls appear at the bottom...but I get no video, only a black screen.  I can hear the audio playing, and it shows the meter below with the time remaining and time elapsed for the video.  Does anyone know the fix so I can see the video?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks

    WMV files will not play on a Blackberry (different format).  You'll have to download to your PC, convert to another method (AVI, MP4)  and then upload to your Blackberry. 

  • Streaming .wmv files not working

    When I go to stream .wmv file from the website I use to access school lectures, I get an error message from what looks like Flip4mac saying "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application". In an attempt to resolve this I reinstalled Flip4mac 2.2.3.7. This still did not work. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Here is what I read from Flip-4-Mac web site. You need to install Quicktime 7 from your install disc for this to work. Then reinstall Flip-4-Mac again.
    Repair Permissions and restart your computer.
    JeffSp8, going to the finder and getting info...then choosing Quicktime won't force the browser to play the video. This only work for videos playing locally from the hard drive.

  • Why does the audio in my .SWF file not play in a Browser?

    I created an .swf file using ffmpeg, containing H.264 video and MP3 audio. The file plays perfectly in VLC but  not in a Browser (Chrome/IE). I tried analyzing the file using a trial version of Flash decompiler. Again, only the video plays. The strange thing is that if I extract the MP3 from the file, it plays perfectly using any of th eplayers. It seems to be a muxing issue which VLC apparently handles, but not the player in the browser! Why? Thanks for any pointers.

    Yeah. Sorry to say this but many people buy the various brands of format converters, which are everywhere on the Web and which also spam these boards – and often find they are not only out the purchase price but that the app created as many problems as it solved.

  • Swf file not playing in browser

    I have a problem with a swf file which will not play in web browser.
    It played fine until I updated my site. I therefore suspected a pathing issue within dreamweaver and looked thorugh that forum for an answer.
    I tried typing the absolute path to the swf file in the browser address bar and found it straight away. When I clicked on it the screen stayed blank.
    I checked the path to the file and the flv file was relative to the document and not the site.
    swf plays fine in flash player, flash, and locally on dreamweaver.
    I moved the swf up the file tree and changed the links accordingly but still would not play.
    I also tried saving it as a new swf from flash, but that doesn't play either.
    I added another swf to the containing folder and that played fine in the browser.
    When I open the fla file in flash it only shows a flv playback movie, not the elements, I think this is because it was created in after effects.
    Here is the link to the containing folder, the swf file is Home_page_movie_V2.swf
    http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01 Home
    I have other swf files playing fine and this swf played ok originally so I still think it's a pathing problem but I am not that savvy on flash and cannot figure it out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, just bear in mind my low level of ability.
    Thanks

    The .swf is loading just fine... but it is expecting to load a .flv video file.
    The path inside the .swf to the .flv file is not correct. The path inside the .swf to the .flv file needs to be relative to the .swf as it's located on the Web page, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
    Here is the absolute address of the .flv:
    http://www.joinerycadsolutions.com/Flash/01%20Home/Home%20V1.flv
    Here is a test player using that address:
    http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/flash/cidm_simple_vid_player.html
    So unless your .swf is broken, it just a pathing issue.
    From an old post:
    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.

  • Protected AAC music/files not playing or appearing in iTunes purchases

    Any purchases which I made from itunes during 2007/08 which were protected AAC files will no longer play on my pc (nor download to my ipod).  I get multiple 'This computer is not authorised to play....Would you like to authorise it?' When I authorise it, it tells me that 'This computer is already authorised (2 out of 5)'.  But the track will not play and again asks for authorisation. The tracks that will not play are all 'Fairplay version 2'. I thought about deleting them and downloading them again as I understand that Apple no longer encripts files, but they do not appear in my previous purchases in my itunes account (no purchases before 2011 appear?) - so I assume that I cannot download them again. So i have the tracks in my library, the 'info' says that they are registered to my itunes account, but it seems that because they are encripted I cannot play them.  Help please!!

    I am having what seems to be the same problem as Julie described. After purchasing an album on itunes, I created a CD-R disk that will play on the computer but not on any of several players I tried. The CD shows (Get info) each tune to be an MP-4. In ITunes...the tracks are shown as AAC protected...I don't know the difference.
    It appears Julie solved the problem by your suggestion to go to iTunes preferences...I tried that Pref>Advanced>Burning>and selected Audio CD and burned a second disk....actually I didn't change anything because my preferences were already set that way.
    I would never buy anything else from iTunes that I cannot play on my home system. this has been a frustrating matter and I guess what I am asking is there a pausible solution?
    To your questions:
    Play on home CD player: message: No audio...although the Cd plays on the computer ok.
    Media used: Memorex CD-R
    Brand of players: Sony DVD player 1.5 years old & Cyberhome 1 year
    Operating System 10.3.9
    iTunes 5.xx
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks,

  • Link to local wmv file not working - is this possible?

    I would like to launch a wmv file in the default application
    (windows media player) from an AIR application. I tried just
    linking to it but it doesnt do anything? Anyone know why? security
    reason maybe? thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    Just linking to the file won't work. You'll have to call
    navigateToURL with that file's path. This will load the file in the
    default browser.
    There's no other way to launch applications from AIR
    1.0.

  • Local files not playing on Windows 8

    If you've installed Windows 8 on your computer instead of the previous Windows 7, you may experience an issue where none of your local files will play.
    First try reinstalling Spotify, installing Quicktime, deleting all the Local files and unchecking everything in Preferences related to Local Files. Finally, make sure the files are a supported file format.
    We've also noticed that installing the Windows Media feature pack helped many users where the above suggestions did not. You can find the feature pack here:

    If all you're missing is the required codec, there are plenty of free software offerings that will allow you to play DVDs - one example would be the application on the link below.

  • Embedded wav files not playing in IE7 after installing QT 7.3

    I created a web page that uses javascript to play embedded wav files on an onclick event. I was having trouble with my Firefox browser not playing the wav files at all, so I thought I'd update from QT 7.1 to QT 7.3. This has caused my IE browser to stop playing the embedded files, and has not helped my Firefox browser, either. Uninstalling QT 7.3 does restore IE7's ability to play the embedded files. I'm using some simple popular Javascript for the function, and the page works for me in my home installation of Firefox, so I'm still mystified why the wav files won't play on my workplace Firefox (yes, I tried disabling all the other plugins, to no avail), and also, I need to fix IE7 now, as well. QuickTime Object is enabled in IE's add-ons list.
    I did search all over the knowledge base here and at Firefox's site for solutions.
    Suggestions?
