I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.
[Code]...
I'm creating a video player in an environment where stream.bytesTotal isn't available. I need to use the duration metadata encoded in flv files to extrapolate for things such as the play progress, and the time display.
The problem is when loading an flv the metadata, including the duration, fails to be accessed 2 out of 3 times. Here is the function that iterates through the metadata object
[Code]...
I have over 1200 videos in our catalog that were somehow transcoded with a missing duration, assigning it a value of 0 - the data rate is also 0. How do I determine the video duration by another means, with just the .flv file as a resource.
View 0 RepliesI have a FLV player using netstream. I am using metaData to grab the video duration and time. It will grab the total duration time, but I want it to countdown to zero, like iTunes. Basically, the time will play and the duration will countdown to zero at the end of the video. I thought that I could take (duration) - (time played) but it's not working.

LI am making a custom video player with FLVPlay back controlls. I am using custom progress bar. I am using "MetadataEvent.METADATA_RECEIVED" to get the duration of the uploaded flv file. It works in most of the cases but not in all. Therefore I am asking for anyalternative procedure that can provide the total flv file duration. I don't know even is it possible or not. I am familiarwith AS2 but new to AS3, so
View 1 RepliesI can find the duration of an external video to be played in my flash presentation?I am loading it to stage using netConnection/netStream.I have found information about the "time" property which tells me at what point the playhead is, but how can I get the total playback time?
View 1 RepliesI'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
On Linux, YouTube places temporary flash files in /tmp. Nautilus can display the duration (Minutes:Seconds) of them, but I haven't found a way to extract the duration using python.'

View 6 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to get the duration of an MP4 video. I am attempting to make a scrubber bar for my video player following Lee's tutorial however in the video he uses an FLV with metadata. Is there any way to produce the same effect with an MP4?
View 3 Repliesis it possible to play a video if metadata is not available with the particular video file.

ActionScript Code:

resources for building (or skinning) your own video player aren't nearly as easy to find as I thought they should be, and these tutorials are fantastic. The only things missing, that how to achieve, are (a) the video counting in 0:00 as it plays, and also being able to list the duration - so display something like: 0:00 / 5:47
View 13 RepliesI found out that I could only get the metadata of the 1st video I clicked. How does metadata works? It could only load once before the video ends?
Here's some example what I'm doing

public function set newVideo():void
{
videoProperties();

I tried to load all the metadata at once, but seems like it needs the video to be play only it will manage to get the metadata.
I have a video player and I want to read the duration counter so that after say 5 seconds the video fades in some movie clips pauses for a few seconds then fades the movieclips out. Heres what I have so far as a test I have used gotoand play . If I insert this the movie does not reach 5 seconds but goes to frame 8 straight away. If I try a < or == nothing happens ?
// Get video duration
ns.onMetaData = function(obj) {

How can i get the time duration of video has been loaded?
Example: Total length - 1minute.
loaded length - 30second.
Then How can I get this loaded length?
I am not talking about the total duration of video. and I am using web hosting server not RTMP server.
I just want to know, howto add time duration and time ellapse on a flash video player.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a bit of an issue with a video player I'm building out. I THINK that it might be the encoding process on the backend that's causing this, but I can't be sure. Basically, when loading an .flv from a server, the NetStatus events and onMetaData received doesn't fire until the video is 100% loaded. This is causing some pretty major issues including not being able to play the video until it's fully downloaded (and these videos could be 20 minutes long for all I know).
View 0 RepliesAll this code works properly, however when I include the part which controls the video resize metadata the scrubber stops working... (see the section between the ">>> <<<").

nc.connect(null);

ns.setBufferTime(2);
ns.onStatus = function(info) {

is it possible to make the duration of a movieclip equal the duration of the preloader, i mean is it possible to make something like, the time the preloader needs to reach the 100% = the duration of the movieclip? i'm using AS 3.0 and flash CS4 just in case it helps here is my code for the loader:
Code:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal;

I noticed many players display audio track duration before loading the sound file, but I cannot figure out how that is done. So how can I get the duration of an mp3 file in Flex without having to load the file in a Sound object ? Think about loading 1000+ files in an application that has to immediately display the duration for each track.
View 2 RepliesI was wondering how do you inject metadata into an f4v file with quepoints? I've been reading somewhere that it's either during encoding or a custom actionscript that embeds when the file runs.

Unfortunately I was not able to apply the instructions from adobe.
I tried to convert the PNG file into bytes wit the code below

Is it possible using command line, or a php file to get the duration of an flv file using the flash media server. I used the flvcheck file to fix the meta data, and was using the duration operator but it didn't come up with anything. I am guessing the duration operator just shows if there is errors with this?
View 1 RepliesI have a situation where a simple query against a table is returning incorrect values in Flex, but not in other GUI front-ends to SQLite.
select title from ttl where ttl.ttl = 140 // ttl is also the column name of the PK column
is returning the title that belongs to the row whose PK = 1400.
ttl.ttl is defined as int datatype.
Again, the problem manifests itself only in Flex, not in other GUI front-ends to SQLite, which are returning the correct title value.
I was working through the example AS code in Adobe's documentation[url]..

I am recording FLV videos with Red5 server and playing them back in a Flex app. I am aware that Red5 does not properly inject the FLV MetaData, so I am using an external commandline tool to get the metadata in there.
Because I am injecting the metadata, my duration of the video is correct.
The problem I am having, and this is true with all FLV players I try to play the video with (even 3rd party stand-alone video players), is the PlayHead time is never started at 0. When I load up the FLV to play and lets say the video is 10 seconds long, the current time label on the playhead starts at 1-2seconds instead of 0 and the horizontal slider current time indicator also is moved away from 0 and is set to 1-2 seconds along the slidebar. the video plays back fine from what I can see though.
Is there a byte in the FLV that I need to change so that it will start the playhead at 0? I realize this is probably something to do with Red5, so if anyone has any work-arounds or potential things to watch out for that may be causing this
For a research project I am looking for a way to collect the file system metadata of a certain file. The user selects a file on his system and the app retrieves the metadata of the file, only the metadata and not the actual contents. A friend of mine made a test app using SWFupload [URL] and it works, however not all attributes from the metadata can be retrieved. I would also want to collect 'lastaccesstime' and 'owner' from the metadata. Try the test app [URL]
The following code has been used to make this test app:
function fileDialogComplete() { //this.startUpload(); var f = this.getFile(); var a = "File Info
"; a += "Created: " + f.creationdate + "

1. Is there a method of determining the length of a sound file (mp3 primarily); in bytes, elapsed time, before the file is played? (the file could be played against a stop watch and the elapsed time record after the fact, programmatically).
2. Is it possible to set markers and fast forward/rewind to markers corresponding to the file?What I am thinking of is a feature allowing the user to play a file to a point and pause, set a marker, rewind and play to the marker and stop, or fast forward from the beginning and play from the marker, or even play past the marker and rewind to the marker.
Setting a marker would be the easy part: just record the elapsed time when the pause function is called.Getting the sound file to start playing from that point without the previous part played at normal speed;(with volume off) is the essential part of this question.
