Flex :: Buffering In Video Display?
Jun 14, 2011I'm new to Flex and currently working on the Video Component in Flex. The problem is:Buffering starts only after the specified time. So, if i have specified the Buffer Time to be 2 s, then the video buffers for sometime, gets the data for the 2s and then plays it and then again buffers. The point is it is not buffering in parallel to playing. Is there any way of making this possible in Flex 3? Or is it already there in newer versions of Flex?
View 1 RepliesFlex :: Start Buffering A Video Display From An Intermediate Point?
Jan 31, 2011I am trying to use Flex Video Display as a preview player. The player is streaming the video from the server.While The buffering is not complete, if we try to drag the play head to an area beyond buffered region, the player will drag the playhead back to the current playing position. I need to implement the player like you tube video player which allows to drag to anywhere in the track even when data is not fully buffered.Is there a way for doing this.

Nov 20, 2011I'm building a video player, and I'd like the play to show a "Loading, please wait"-type animation whenever the video is buffering and not playing. (This is either when the user enters the page and the video has to buffer a bit before it can start playing, or when the video suddenly stops midway because the internet connection can't load video fast enough.) Is there a way to detect when this happens and show the animation accordingly?

View 1 RepliesFlash :: Detect When Video Is Buffering?
Dec 7, 2009my question today deals with Flash AS3 video buffering. (Streaming or Progressive) I want to be able to detect when the video is being buffered, so I can display some sort of animation letting the user know to wait just a little longer.
Currently my video will start up, hold on frame 1 for 3-4 secs then play. Kinda giving the impression that the video is paused or broken :(
Update
NetStatusEvent from livedocs. It seems to me that the key status to be working in is "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" so I added some code in there to see if this would trigger my animation or a trace statement. No luck yet, however when the Buffer is full it will trigger my code :/ Maybe my video is always somewhere between Buffer.Empty and Buffer.Full that's why it won't trigger any code when I test case for Buffer.Empty?
public function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
// handles net status events

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Video Stream Pixelating When Downloading Player?
Dec 6, 2010I'm building videochat functionality for a site, using Wowza as the streaming server. I've noticed that when I use the chat on a page hosted on another machine (EC2 in this case) it pixelates, but when I just view a local html file referencing a local copy of the player, there's no problem. I'm not sure why, because even the local copy of the player is sending an outgoing video stream and reading another stream from the streaming server. The only differences between the perfect quality/annoyingly pixelated versions are:
The actual page is hosted locally/nonlocally The .swf file is hosted locally/nonlocally. Does anyone know if downloading the flash player degrades the streams that play in it? And if so, is there any way to get around this?

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Video Buffering Impact To Video Over A Slow Connection?
Apr 12, 2012As I understand it video over a connection of say 40Kb/s wont actually have time to load and make a buffer, and it'll be "glitchy", so it wont make much difference whatever buffering is put in place. I'm getting complaints about glitchy video. I don't have access to the servers serving the media so I put a load timer in a swf along the lines of averageLoadSpeed = (bytesLoaded / loadTimer.currentCount) / 1024;
Out of 5 tests run, 2 were below 50Kb/s. And I've been told the server also is not geared towards media and put priorities on other business tasks. The head of IT for this company keeps going at me about buffering, and how that'll fix the problem. I tried to explain that the speed is way too low (32Mb = 32768Kb / 24Kb/s = 1,365 seconds * 60 = 22min) enlighten me on buffering aside from wikipedia's explanation about IO streams.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Display Animation Based On How Much Data Has Downloaded
Sep 15, 2006I have a question regarding preloaders.I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to display an animation based on how much data has downloaded.For example.I have a preloader, it gets to 10% or xxx bytes loaded, I want a movie clip to play (or whatever, sparks to fly, etc.), then at 20% or zzz bytes, another movie clip plays (or again, something else happens).So basically I want the movie to react to how much of it has been downloaded.A real world example of this that I can find quick is.url...(ya ya, everyone uses this as their example).The loader seems to animate based on how much of the movie has actually loaded.play an animation, movie clip, etc based on how many bytes/percent, has loaded.

Mar 8, 2009I'm using netStream to stream dynamically loaded flv's into a video gallery. I've created a "buffering" animation called "bufferCounter" that loops while the stream is buffering. However, it keeps reappearing at odd times in front of the movie.
I'm assuming it's doing this because the buffer is no longer at 100%, but I can't seem to work around it.
Here is my code for reference:

XML :: How To Add Preloader Before Video Buffering
Dec 23, 2009I have a xml video background and need to add a preloader before the video is buffering. The problem is that I am loading the video from xml file and from what I've tried the preloader works for the swf file but not for f4v video loaded externally. You can check the preview here: [URL]. What I've come with is to compress the video so Ill get a smaller file or change the buffer time, but the priority is to come out with the preloader.

May 26, 2011When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering.

May 26, 2011I'm working on the development of a tool that plays two audio files and one video file simutaneously.All the files need to play together at the exact same time, so that the audio syncs with the video.
Our situation right now is that each one of the files start playing at different times depending on how fast they are loading. The problem is, my programmer is telling me that there is no way to track the buffer of the audio, so for example, the video only starts playing when at least 30% of the audio is loaded. Is it possible to do this?
The video player would then display something like:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Streaming Video Skips After Buffering
May 26, 2011I am pretty new to scripting and Flash and streaming vid is proving a massive headache at the mo. Have bashed through most of my problems but this one has got me stumped, scripting skills not up to the task. When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering. That said I'd prefer to get to the root of the prob, particularly if this is a codec/keyframe issue, since I could then re-export the vids appropriately. I am using mpg4 (.mov) with H264 compression and keyframes at 1 sec intervals.

Feb 8, 2012I've been working on a video-centric project that requires a very specifically designed video player, which I've built from scratch -- no skin. Things were going great until I actually uploaded the video and SWF to my server and tried it out. Here's the issue: The video, which is an F4V that's been imported into Flash as an external asset -- I'm not using NetStream, nor am I using a Flash media server -- starts loading almost immediately. But when you use the custom-built scrubber bar to jump ahead in the video, it freezes up until, I presume, the video has loaded to that point, at which time the video starts again. If you open the SWF and let it sit for a few minutes, this isn't an issue -- you can jump back and forth as much as you want.
So clearly the problem here is that the video is loading from the beginning and the user can only get to a certain frame when that frame has already been loaded. But it must be possible to start loading from a specified point, right? After all, the video doesn't load all together and become available only when the whole thing is done. It starts loading at 0:00 and continues progressively. I just want to change where it starts loading by telling it not only to play at that point but to start loading at that point, too.

View 1 RepliesMedia Server :: FMS Static HD Video Playback Buffering
May 18, 2010I have downloaded and installed the Flash Media Server (FMS) trial version. Just purchased the software today and waiting for the activation serial number. I created a video gallery - [URL]. My goal is for these videos to stream just like vimeo. I am only using HD 1280 x 720 video. All videos are between 25 to 125 MB in size, originally .mov files converted to .flv using FFMPEG. Videos are between 30 seconds to 58 seconds in length.
I am using ColdFusion to upload and organize my videos and I have configured FMS to work with CF. The Issue is that these videos buffer the same way they did when I didn't have FMS installed. Press play, the video buffers, the video plays, then stops to buffer again. Stop and Buffer, Stop and Buffer. I can understand if there is buffering at the start of the video but not throughout. When I start the video over from the start, it has to buffer all over again!

I would like to know if Flex provide a simple way to draw and place such shapes.
