i have a video in which I can seek to unload parts (Pseudo-Streaming), the server return the video and it loads it from the requested second,the problem, i don't want to make a new request to the server if a part has already been buffered, here's what I have in mind, but can't achieve
Code:
if(netStream_has_been_download){
//Just run the seek() command

When recording a video to FMIS if the stream is buffered, does this get buffered in memory or does it use up local storage?
I am developing an application that will use a web cam to record videos which will then be submitted to the server. Ideally I would have liked to write the video to disk first and then upload later however, I understand that I can't do this with flash (my solution has to be in browser AIR apps aren't an option). I am ultimately concerned about video quality so in order to ensure that I loose as few frames as possible I'm planning on setting NetStream.bufferTime to a large value. I am concerned however that someone with a poor internet connection and a good webcam will quickly use up local storage assuming that it is set to the default of 100K.
If this is the case then I potentially need to think again about my approach - maybe even look into Silverlight 4, or at the very least try and explain to my users how to go into flash settings and set local storage to be unlimited.
I'm moving an movieclip using the cursor keys. The device it has to run on, is too slow to process the keys realtime, so the keys are placed in a some sort of buffer and the object keeps on moving for a while when the key is released.The device places 8 keys in the buffer per second, but flash can only process 5 per second, so holding the key for a second, will look like I've pressed it almost twice as long. Any way to counteract this? I've tried using Key.isDown, but that returns true, even though they key is released, until the buffer is emptied.
I've tried using the onKeyDown event to start the movement and stop the movement using the onKeyUp event, but it seems like the onKeyUp event only occurs when the buffer becomes empty. Even when I remove the onKeyDown listener, it seems like the buffer only decreases 1 key per frame. It might have worked when there is no keyrepeat in the hardware, but that is not an option. It would be good if there was a timestamp indicating when the key was pressed, or some way to clear the buffer, but I've not found one.
Whenever a youtube or any other flash content is buffered on the browser, isn't it true that is downloaded to the client computer ? So my assumption is that, any completely buffered youtube file should be found on my client right ? For example, when i view this video on youtube, i see that it is actually referring to this swf location [URL] How does youtube actually buffer this video on my computer then ?
Note: My objective is NOT to download youtube videos as i know there are extensions available for it. I just want to know how it works :) .
i'm trying to build a mp3 player that plays a (for istance) base64 encoded mp3 file.my needs is to protect original files and decrypt them at runtime.now, i'm playing with new Sound apis and SampleDataEvent like this:
ActionScript Code:
public var s1:Sound;
public var s2:Sound;
[code].....
I found an interesting questions regarding the events in action script: is the event buffered and ordered?
Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be first executed. Imagine a case that the INIT event fired first but the handler to handle the INIT event be setup later, will the handler be invoked?
Another question, if the loaded swf fired several events very fast, will the events be kept ordered as the fire sequence?
I can get which part of file in bytes is loaded using netstream.bytesLoaded,netstream.bytesTotal, I can get the current playing position using netstream.time. But I want to know how many seconds of video are already loaded (not the length of buffer, which remains constant).
View 1 RepliesNormally we use NetStream.Seek method but it will make the seek after the buffer area crossed the seek time length.(HTTP). Can we seek the video that is beyond the buffered area like youtube in red5. Will it start the buffer from the seek point.
View 1 Replieswhat I'm trying to put together is some code that will load in multiple flvs, buffer the vids and have them play one after the other in a loop. I have so far code that loads in an array of flvs but doesn't loop. Also the buffering stops the play back for a moment towards the end of the first video, not sure why but changing Flush into Full doesn't help. Anyone know how to add a buffer that plays after a % of the movie it buffered or will buffer movie one and then buffer movie two while the first movie is still playing? As for looping goes I need a listener waiting for the last video in the array to be completed, but not sure how to pull that off.

The upgrade version of FMS 3.5.3 append the new function about buffered stream, in order to resolve problem when the bandwidth no good caused the video getting more and more slow, but I can't find the configuration in which file.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to start playing a web-based video at a specific time, say 2 minutes in, even if the video hasn't been downloaded that far. I thought I could just "seek" to that time but that apparently only works when the video is buffered first.
So for example, this:
Code:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("[URL]");
ns.seek(123);
video.attachVideo(ns);
Seems to work if you have the video cached or buffered or whatever, but if you don't it gives the "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime" error, which makes sense. I want to know if it's possible to start playing a video at a specific time, even if the video hasn't loaded up to that point.
I have 4 flv playback instances on a stage.
1. when i load 4 videos and ensure they are fully buffered from video progress event and bytesloaded==bytestotal . and then play them. I get sync issues for every other second.
2. when i download the vidoes and place them in my project folder and then load them ( no loading time) there are no sync issues. I cant understand why 1 is different from 2 as we are completely loading the videos in cache.
when uing netsream.seek(), how can i make a new request to the server if the seconds parameter specifies a time outside of the currently buffered video data. I want to seek unloaded time

Is there something i can check to see if a NetStream Video is a live stream? I have a DVR app, need the player to snap to live point (if it is live - seek(100000) ? or start from the begining if a recorded video - Ideall a boolean if the stream is live or not...
View 9 RepliesI'm sure this is a simple question, but I just can't crack it. In my video player I want to detect if the current status is playing or paused. But I can't figure out where this info comes from. Is it a property of the ns object?
View 4 RepliesI'm building a video chat in flash and everything works really well, except for the part where I'm trying to detect if the other user is sending a working video stream. There's a couple of reasons why the other user isn't sending video.
-The other user got no camera
-The other user got a camera, but the camera is currently being occupied by another application(Skype, Photo Booth, Google Talk, etc.)
-The other user got a camera but hasn't allowed the use of his/hers camera.
(Other unexpected problems I guess...)
So how do I detect if the stream I receive from the other user is a black stream(because of the reasons above) using the NetStream class? The closest thing I have came up with is by adding a timer that polls the currentFps() function from the stream I receive from the other user. But so far this seems pretty unreliable because I might get currentFps() == 0 and show an error because of this even though I actually got video from the stream in some cases. The reason for this is because I poll the API every 4 seconds for the currentFPS function and let's say at 00:00:04 I get "no video" according to the poll but at 00:00:05 the video kicks in, and therefor I need to wait until the next tick until the error message disappears
This is what my current poll looks like
function subscribingStatusPoll(e:TimerEvent):void {
if (subscribingStream.currentFPS == 0){
error.text = "No video found from the other user...
} else {
error.text = "";
}}
This is the only hack I that I can come up with to detect this, but this is unreliable and I actually would prefer a way to instantly detect if the stream I receive got a working video attached to it.
I have created a FLV video player using the AS3 flash.media.Video object (not the FLV playback component) and I am trying to listen for meta events and Cue Points embedded in the FLV video but I am not receiving any when I trace the movie. The cue points are not being created dynamically, they are in the FLV video.
Video embed code:
// Initialize net stream
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect (null); // Not using a media server.

Is there anything I am missing have wrong to capture events from my net stream?
Am 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 making a small video players in AS3, and I've found that after calling NetStream.pause() or NetStream.togglePause(), no status messages are being fired any more.If I click the "pause" button while the video is buffering, I never get the Buffer.Full message.Here is some code:
_connection = new NetConnection();
_connection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
_connection.connect(null);[code].....
I am working on an app that will take a snapshot of an rtmp stream of an archived video, save it to a file, and ExternalInterface the file name to the hosting page to javascript it up for display.
I actually have all pieces working great. The only time an error is thrown is when I pause the video, seek to somewhere, and then try to take a snapshot. Then there is a runtime error of:
SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: mySwf.swf cannot access rtmp://myFlashServer/myApp. No policy files granted access.I've seen post after post of suggestions and have tried them, but without success.
I have the crossdomain.xml and my FlashMediaServer security setup fine (it is actually working, except for this one glitch). It just seems to be the pause-then-seek-then-BitMapData.draw() combination which is creating issues.
Another weird thing: after the error is thrown, if I resume the stream and take a snapshot, it works flawlessly again.
I am using NetStream, NetConnection and Video object to play an mp4 file which is hosted over a web server using http.This is an AIR application and the relevant code is pasted below:

In my application I have a video playing from a NetStream. Every second on timer I update a text label with statistics like stream.info.currentBytesPerSecond. The problem occurs when the NetConnection associated with this NetStream closes: the getter for stream.info throws

A NetStatusEvent with info.code of "NetStream.Connect.Closed" is dispatched by NetConnection when a NetStream is closed. This seems kind of weird, shouldn't the NetStream dispatch the event? how do I know which NetStream has been closed if I have more than one running (which I do)? I need to know so I can cleanup the now dead stream.

I have a cost calculator in flash, only the price comes out with about a hundred decimal places... any convenient way to round it up to 2? I was hoping there was some (fairly easy) way to nicely format an output..
View 3 RepliesI have a simple AS1 script running on a button:
//
on (release) {
a = Number(answer2);
w = Number(withvat);
v = Number(vat2);
answer2 = (w / 117.5 * 100);
vat2 = (w / 117.5 * 100 * 0.175);
}
It works but the results are sometimes many decimal places long. Any way I can make my results round to two decimal places (accurately). So 5.6994 becomes 5.70 etc.
I have 23 keywords in an XML file. In an area of 1600px by 500px there should be zooming in and out (for about 5,6,7 sec which depends on the number of letters) 10 keywords, randomly chosen from the XML file. Each keyword may appear in different spots in the area, it doesn't matter.
how to fix this zooming in and out keywords?
my cost per month textbox typically returns multiple decimal places, is it possible to limit it's output to two decimal places like real monetary calculations?

If I have an array
[Code]....
Then secondPosition is them temp[5] instead of temp[6]...since one has been removed from the array. I have been writing:
temp.splice(firstPosition,1);
temp.splice(secondPosition-1,1);
I don't think this is right...especially if secondPosition is at the beginning of the the "temp" array (i.e. temp[0]). Is there a way to remove two items at once from an array, if they are not side-by-side??
