For past couple of days i have been trying to make the .nsv streaming files to work in my flex framework. when i call it the data starts getting downloaded but i figured it out that the video object is unable to play this . I tried this for Shoutcast TV streams where i got lots of .nsv file formats.
So i just want to ask Whether somebody has tried to play the .nsv streams from shoutcast into flex.
I have recently "inherited" several websites that feature 1 to 10 minute video animations in SWF formatOne of my challenges is to get these files to appear or play in a timely manner so that the viewer does not loss interest as it is loading. My questions will start with file size.reduce or minimize the size of published SWF files while still maintaining high quality video output? Second, how about this business of preloading.I don't really understand that term but my thinking is that if a large movie could be loading while another, shorter, movie is playing, or a graphic displaying, that this could be useful in my case. Lastly, how about streaming in general. Are there ways to optimally use a given download speed to efficiently stream SWF video?

View 4 RepliesI have this sample code from the e-book: "Learning Flash Media Server 3". The purpose of the code is to create a FLV. The code is not running as it should. When I click on the 'record' button, the label is to change to 'recording', that dosen't seem to happen and also when I click on the 'Stop Record' button, I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at MinRecord/stopRecord()"
[Code]....
My deduction is that the 'if' statement in the 'startRecord' function is not resolving to 'true' and hence the label is not changing to 'Recording'. Also I feel that the assingment to the variable 'ns' of type NetStream is not being done and hence in the function 'stopRecord' I get the above mentioned error message when I click on the stop button. How do I rectify these problems?
I'm looking for a Flash video player that is able to stream m4v files on all browsers. Example file: [URL]
Unfortunately, I can't convert the format since it originates from 3rd party servers. I can't rely on HTML5 video since not all browsers support this format and the encoding it contains.
I've already tried several players such as JW Player, Kaltura, Video JS, Projekktor, and more. Testing them with Firefox and IE, some of them couldn't play the m4v file at all, while others downloaded the entire file before starting to play it.
I am working on a system that requires me to be able to load large video files using Flash. However, the problem I am running into is that users need to be able to seek to a random point in the file that may or may not be downloaded yet and have it instantly start playing (think Youtube). The video files can be hosted anywhere, and thus I do not have the ability to install policy files or anything of the like.
I have looked into this, and cannot find any answers. Does anyone know of a way to enable this random seeking in Flash files without policy requests or an RTMP server installed at the destination?
I have a video player working just fine with one video, steaming and using dynamic stream switching on a flash media server.Now I want to have more videos.I want to start using SMIL files for the dynamic switching list for each video.If you do not know what a SMIL file is you probably can not help.
Anyway how do I point to a SMIl file instead of just listing the streams.here is how I do my list at the moment
var dsi:DynamicStreamItem = new DynamicStreamItem();dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR300_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 300 );dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR600_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 600 );dsi.addStream(

A project has various local HTML & video files for pages. We need to be able to embed these videos in HTML pages - but because all are local files we have no server-side streaming.
Can I still just use SWFObject? Are there other well-known controls that will let us play .mp4, .swf/flv, .wmv files? This solution is targeting HTML4 across Chrome, FF and IE (I don't know if IE6 is needed).
I would like to have one controller to sync and control multiple video objects(start/stop simultaneously).
View 1 RepliesMy video files are not playing progressively off the host server. They do in simulate download: Here's the code for one simple module that plays 3 different f4v's on radio buttons. In theory they should stream progressively in a flvplayback instance called qualtestplayer when a radio button is pushed. But they fully download before starting to play.

I want to play a flv file over http using a custom player in flex. The video content has to be made secure due to piracy reasons. Our idea is to encrypt the byte array of the flv files and decrypt it in the player using NetStream class in Flex.The problem is that Netstream class requires the complete byte array to be appended using appendBytes() but th size of the file is huge so its not a valid approach.
View 1 RepliesWe are streaming a one hour F4V from streaming media server 3.5.2 and for some reason it is seeing our one hour video as being 10 hours long. We have tons of other videos and never ran into this problem in any of the other files. This is the only file that exceeds one hour. This occurs in the default player from the streaming server.

View 1 RepliesI want to give my users the ability to record a video from WebCam (maximum 60 seconds) so the file should be big with proper quality settings.Do you know of a way to record it in memory (as Flash running in browser can't access file System) and then send it to server to save the file? I have build a functionality to capture a photo with Webcam and send it to the server but not sure about Video.(I prefer not to stream to Red5/FMS or similar as it's more relaible to keep things contained in the Flash file in my opinion) plus I had issues with quality of recording with Red5
View 1 Repliesi use this tag:
<mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid" bottom="0" width="100%" height="100%" live="true" autoPlay="true" source="http://localhost:5080/oflaDemo/{myvideo}"/>
but the only thing i get is the sound of the video and not the video itself,
I want to create two swf (publisher and subscriber).I have created the publisher client which publishes the webcam video to the Red5 server.
Now I want to create the subscriber. I want some kind of combo box which lists all the streams being published at that moment. So that user can click on any of the stream name in the list to see that stream.
Q1. How the subscriber client can find all the published stream at that moment?
Q2. How the subscriber can update that list automatically (any events for which it can listen to so that it can add or delete stream from the list)?
I have a streaming server (for pushing data not video) setup with GraniteDS and it works great. I have to include multiple swf files in a web page. Each of these swf files has a data table which includes streaming data(this is a specific requirement - so I really cant combine all data tables into 1 huge data table/swf file). All the swf files however, connect to the same gravity channel/streaming endpoint.
How many connections are there from the web page to the streaming server? Does each swf file start a new streaming connection? Or do all them share the same connection since they are just connecting to a single channel?
i am looking for a flash/flex component that plays movies that are not .flv but .swf with controllers such as fast forward, stop, play and a timeline.I have a flv player which does the same but some movies I don't want to play bitmap movies but vector for quality reasons ( as movieclips )

I am developing Video Chat over Ip (including audio and text too). But I am unable to get the proper startup material for my desktop application.
View 2 RepliesAm building a video chat application and i was wondering if there are any native events for the NetStream that fire,that can help in detecting when a remote client starts/stops streaming video over his outgoing stream (NetStream) to which the other client has subscribed over P2P/RTFMP in AS3 ?I maybe able to dispatch custom messages since the two clients are already connected, but i don't want to add the extra overhead.
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a Flex video player with a "slow advance" button, and my first approach is to simply toggle between play() and pause() on a timer. I'd like to say something like

}
But I can't find anything like an 'isPlaying' property.

View 5 RepliesI am streaming flash video and the dimension of the video is 1280 by 720 (same size as the stage)
but just before the video streams, there is a quick flash of the video (about 320px by 240px) at the top corner of the stage, and then it plays the videos at the correct size (which is 1280 by 720) .... a quick flash is the best way I can explain it.
This is my code:
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
var video:Video = new Video();
addChild(video);

is there anyway I can stop that quick flash of the video .... so when I click on the button, it just plays the video, at the correct size?
