ActionScript 3.0 :: Metadata Not Read Properly On One Server?
Aug 11, 2010
I have an extremely simple video player swf (actually copied from the snippet in adobe help) that progressively downloads and plays an flv. I added a line to display the bytesTotal. When I use a url in the code that points to a flash video on my server, the bytesTotal metadata is not being read or displayed properly (in Safari it displays it as 4294967295 - the highest possible 32-but number, and in FireFox it displays it as the same as the bytesLoaded). However, if I change the url in the code to point to an flv on another domain, it displays the bytesTotal correctly. So, apparently it has something to do with my server. I tried changing the mime types in my .htaccess file to:
This seems like it should be a no-brainer, but I can't find any classes to do this ?? I can find classes to read song titles from MP3 files, I want to do similar with jpeg image files. In photoshop and lightroom you can set up titles and captions (and copyright info) in the metadata. When you save a jpeg this gets embedded in the file. How to read this info and parse it and use it once you have loaded it into a BitMapData? I am Flash/AS3.0 code only no IDE
I have a number of checkbox's on the stage. The client would like the half dozen or so checkbox selections to be in a random order each time the frame is viewed. Simple enough, I created a random array...
Code: var Q3Labels:Array=["17p deletion","p53 mutation/deletion","11q deletion","Trisomy 12","13q deletion"]; function getQ3Labels():String {
[Code].....
But when I test this code I get a "1084 Syntax error: expecting rightparen before .", so it seems it's reading Q3A as literally "q3a_chkbox.label" not "11q deletion" (or whatever). If I change the Q3A variable to simple text then it works fine,
I have a problem with recorded stream: The MetaData its partialy correct.Most of the informations are correct, but the 2 most important information for me width and height for the video are always 320 x 240 for any recorded stream althow they are published at different WxH.I tried to get my head around this but cant seem to figure out were the problem is.FMLE its used to publish the stream useing H.264 / MP3 codecs.Here is the server side code used to record the stream:[code]....
i'm trying to build some kind of online radio. Therefore i'll be streaming audio (mp3) in real time. i have a play-list on my server and the idea is for this play-list to play all day long, but on the client side the user can only do play and stop the music.
The problem is when one music stops and the next one starts i need the server to send not only the new audio but also all the info about this file: duration, author and music name, this way my player can show a play /stop and all the info about the current music playing.Until now i've only come across with video live streaming, but very little information on how to do a live transmission of audio.
ps: the only info on streaming audio that i've found so far is about audio on demand, but the way i want things to happen the client can't chose the music.
I'm trying to get the metaData as usual with NetStream object from FMS but in RTMFP protocol but doesn't work.However, with RTMP my code (which is coming from onMetaData example in livedocs)it works.
Is it need any special metchod/properties to get the metadata with rtmfp ?
I'm streaming live video through FMS 3 and passing the streams to another FMS application to be recorded. While recording, I inject some custom metadata into the stream. Once recording is finished, I move the flv to another location and update my database with the metadata contained in the stream for later reference. All this succeeds without a problem.
However, only sometimes, the default 'duration' metadata (note - I never mess with the duration metadata, merely insert my own fields that are required for other reasons) is COMPLETELY wrong
I'm trying to send metaData from client to FMS server when recording Webcam video and have implemented sending of metaData as stated on Adobe's help page at: http:[url]....
However when I play the recorded video from FMS, my custom metaData properties trace "undefined".I can trace default metaData properties such as duration or videocodecid successfully,but not my custom properties such customProp,width or height. Here is part of my code that is related to the issue: private function
Does anyone know if the Flash Media Server supports OAI-PMH Metadata Harvesting? We are trying to automate metadata harvesting from the FMS to our online repository, so users will be able to search the repository for videos that reside on the FMS...
insert captions into a live flash video stream.[URL]this example uses a Flash client app wich can invoke something like video_nc.call("sendDataEvent",null,inputfield_txt.text);How can do this without any Flash client/environment ? (I of course still use an FMS 3.5) I would like to use a python (or php...whatever) piece of code to extract caption from VBI in the incoming video stream and insert it in the flash stream.
I will go to URL... but when the pages load the content will be read from ABC's server not XYZ's server.The users will use the data on XYZ's website not realizing that the content is actually coming from another site.
I recently had to tell a client that I didn't want to work on their project because I was unclear about something. When you append a recording from a stream does the metadata get updated correctly after the append? I've worked with metadata before and from my recolection anytime a .flv was changed I had to manually update the metadata.
We have one video application in this application an user can record a video of 30 seconds. Timer is not getting fire after 30 seconds only on one computer on other computers it's getting called except that computer. Frankly speaking we don't know about the computer configuration on which timer is not fired after 30 seconds. Can any body suggest us what's the problem? Where we are lagging?
We are considering this is due to older version of flash. Correct us if we are wrong. May be due to browser dont know what's the problem.
We have a webcam/chat application that is having bad issues with the video display of a live stream. The application is a bit old (Flex 3.2 recompiled to FB 4.5) and uses FMS 4 which gets it`s encoded streams from FMLE 3.2. The problem is that when a stream is sent using H.264, the playback in Flash is quite bad. Visually, it basically looks like Flash does not always display the "in between keyframes information" properly. Big square pixels from the last keyframe appear instead.
I have some problems about installing FMS 4 on a CentOS 6 x64. After installing, FMS doens't start properly. I don't see the videos on the web interface. In the log file master.00.log, i can see these errors messages
I carefully read forums for phpmyadmin before posting here and none really had the answer. I am able to install phpmyadmin on stand alone versions of Apache, but unable to do so on the FMS version. I previously read this post [URL] and it doesn't seem to answer the question although it looks like part of the question may have been answered offline. The problem is that phpmyadmin installs and I know that PHP is running fine because I can run a couple of test scripts with no problem. However, when I go to login to phpmyadmin, I get the dialog box asking me "do you want to open or save this file" and the script itself never executes. I checked the the server log, and here's what's going on:
[Code]...
Based on the post noted above, I'm assuming this may have something to do with either POST variables or maybe proxying unknown requests, however the forum post didn't appear to resolve the problem. I also posted to that thread, but I wasn't sure it was still being monitored.
I am developing a flash media encoder. Encoder is sending 'publish' command in 'record' mode to FMS. But FMS is not giving any response (I am catching responses in wireshark) but creating the related folders in its application directory. So, I assumed that FMS has received the publish command and reay to receive the data. Then I sent some 20 media messages each of soze 500 bytes. FMS is sending 'onStatus' response for the publish after receiving the 8th media message and writing only contents of media messages from 9th to 20th.
I have a device which sends MPEG2 multicast udp live stream, I can read it from URL.. for instance. Next it is transcoded with vlc.[code]My question is how to read from udp://@127.0.0.1:10013 using FMS and send it to flash clients ?
I've read the reference here,but it seems to me that I can only make it work with live OR recorded videos.How can I make it work with both live AND recorded videos?
I'm a C++ programmer, but I'm a newbie in Flex. I'm developing a Flex 3 application for a social network using the FlashDevelop. For debugging I'm using the stand-alone FlashPlayer (10.3 debug) downloaded from Adobe. The application is a simple audio player which shows artist/album images.
The application worked properly on both local computer and remote server until I made some layout changes in Main.mxml. I added some HBoxes and changed Image placement. After that the application still works on my local computer, but it doesn't work properly after I upload it to a server.
Application buttons are not highlighted on over/out/click events, images loaded from the Internet are not displayed, text changed dynamically is not displayed, but when I click buttons a sound file is loaded from the internet and starts playing. It looks like some events which are responsible for components displaying are not dispatched, because some part of functionality not related to displaying still works.
To make sure that this is not a server problem, I rolled back to the previous revision. All works fine.
I suppose that this is a known issue, but I have no idea what is the reason.
I need to read a text file from a server and then it puts the text from the text file into the text area of my choice. And also, how do I make a variable for a text thing I made with the text tool?
i want to do is read variables from a php file on a remote server. i have the php file on the server and im echoing back a result. all i need in plain english is the AS3 to intercept read and display this variable in a text box.
I have to make a drawing board and send that drawing to server after each 5 sec. Multiple user can see that drawing. So how to reflect that changes to every user system. How to send my bitmap data to server and and load that data to another user system. How to read and write bitmap data to server after each 5 sec. Attachments: Drawing.zip (9.7 K)
I'm trying to read a xml file from client. After search for it. I have got to upload the file to the server with this code. var imagesFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("*.jpg,*.gif,*.png", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.jpeg"); fileRef.browse([imagesFilter]); But what I want to do is to read the file from client and parse it without uploading it to the server.
This method reads a file from server and then display its content. The file which is getting read is a log file which gets updated at regular interval. The issue is once some content read by AS then it is not getting updated that means after every execution of the function content of src variable below remains same even thou the source file is updated.
Im doing live streaming directly from webcam like Ustream.TV. Im using Flash Media Server 3.5, and I record cuepoints of broadcaster with the method ns = new NetStream(); ns.send('functionName' , 'value'); I publish the content and record it in a .flv file. However when I download this FLV file and extract the metadata with tools like FLVTOOL2, or FLVMETA, the cuepoints that I recorded with ns.send() method doesn`t show. I know they are there since when I play the FLV file in another client, I can receive the calls for the 'functionName' in the exact time that I call while recording. What I`m doing wrong? I would like to encode recorded video with Flash Media Encoder and insert into it CuePoints that can call to the same function that I do with live streaming. To do that, first I need to know how the CuePoints are created and fixed into the FLV file that I record directly from webcam. I need to know how they are stored to do it manually in Flash Media Encoder.
