View 1 RepliesFor a site I'm using Flowplayer and the Overlay tool from jQuery Tools, to show video. Within windows everything is fine in the main three browsers: IE7/8/9, Firefox and Chrome. Within OS X (Snow leopard), the problems begin: A click in the video, anywhere, causes a reload. This is the case for the three browsers Safari, Firefox and Chrome (Not in Chrome 12.0.742.53 beta ???) Giving the embeded player the property wmode = 'opaque' or wmode = 'transparent' results in the same situation on the windows platform, but only Firefox en Chrome browsers. Not in IE. So wmode is really bugging me... documentation on wmode ? I can't find anything suitable

I have a simple Flowplayer playlist. First one plays a short clip, which then cuts off, and an image is displayed. Is there a way to make the image clickable? [code]...
View 1 RepliesI am looking to change the URL of a clip when the stream is not found. I am properly configuring the onError event, as I can debug the specific line or add an alert, but what I am having trouble with is the following:
onError : function(errorCode, errorMessage) {
this.getClip(0).update( { url : 'http://full-url.com/images/stream-not-found.png' } );
}
The problem is this image is never being loaded to the player upon the error -- I get a stream not found error message and then the player continues to look for this 'unfound' stream. I'm able to hit the URL and see the image, but am unable to change over upon stream not found. Per the documentation it is supposed to be able to take an image as the URL, but using a fully qualified or relative URL doesn't seem to be working. This is somewhat simplified as we are looking to use customized images for each error code.
I've noticed in testing a problem whereby Flowplayer will not play any content without a internet connection. All the files which make up my project are stored locally, and I've gone through and checked all the paths to make sure nothing points outwards towards the internet.
Curiously if I pull the internet connection out before the web page loads, the video file fails to load, however installing a loopback adapter gets around this. How can I alleviate this problem?
For proofs sake I've loaded the page in chrome looked at the network activity;

View 2 RepliesI am using the VideoJS HTML5 video player (http://videojs.com) on a WordPress site I'm developing. The player launches in a modal window, and it works great for the most part, but the Flowplayer flash fallback for IE isn't behaving as I want.
When the user closes the modal box, playback should stop/pause. This works fine in HTML5, but not with Flowplayer. I've had a look at Flowplayer documentation but can't seem to get their suggested code to work. I've tried several variations, with no luck and cannot find a working example on the net.
It may be worth noting that VideoJS is called from WordPress, using VideoJS WP plugin.
The snippet below shows what I think it should work, where $f is the flow player selector, but I've tried other ways.
jQuery(function( $ ){
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.bClose').click(function(){

I'm quite a newb in flash. I am trying to use the free edition of flowplayer as a library on my FLA project. If anybody did or tried this, please tell me how can I use the flowplayer to play embedded FLVs.
I've tried creating instances of the FlowPlayer(), Launcher() and Preloader() objects. On each one i've recieved errors of incorrect casting.
The flow player will play the audio of a *.flv, but doesn't play the video and I've no idea why. The initial example page using the default flowplayer flv url works fine. When I change the url to my godaddy site, it doesn't work. I'm using Movavi Video Suite 8 to perform the conversion to flash from mp4. I think the metadata is included in the flash file when it converts, but I'm not certain. I used the meta data injector found here: [URL] to inject meta data into the flash files and it still did not work.
Also of note is that the player's progress bar shows the start, current, & end time values of the video, so I think the metadata is there. I've still no clue why this isn't working, though.
I wonder if it's my *.flv file as the player will load the mp4 file it was generated from. I used a premium application called MOVAVI Video Suite to perform the conversion. I don't think this is the case because I can upload the converted *.flv file to youtube and it plays fine.
Also worth noting is that the Flow Player plays audio and not video both when the flv source is pointed to my godaddy site as well as when its pointed to a local folder on my hard drive that contains the player, it's files, the video files, and the example .html page being used to test this.
Possibly something else worth mentioning is that I have not put the flow player files on my godaddy site yet because the video picture isn't showing locally.I have the same issue with the LongTailVideo player.
Here is the html for my test page:
<!--
include flowplayer JavaScript file that does
Flash embedding and provides the Flowplayer API.

<script type="text/javascript" src="flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>

I'm trying to write a simple plugin for the flash player flowplayer (documentation for writing a plugin for flowplayer can be found here). I'm new to flash and I think I'm having a problem connecting the .fla file to the .as file when compiling into a .swf. As it is, when I include the plugin, the player doesn't show up.
I've set the .fla's document class to the .as file and added the .as file to the .fla's publishing classpath.
The .as file can be found here and the .fla file can be found here
I have a website setup in IIS 7.5 with a virtual directory pointing to a local folder outside of the www root of my website e.g:
the website is c:website
the virtual directory is in c:images
I use flowplayer to play my movies, when I put the movie path in my website root directory structure, say c:websitemoviesa.flv it works fine in the player, but if I put them inside the virtual directory and point the player to play it from there using a relative URL, it doesn't work
I suspect that this has to do with either permissions or flash configurations to allow it to access directories outside of the scope of the website, but I have no idea where to edit such settings
I am experiencing a very weird issue with both jquery2flash players,this is how i am callin flowplayer:[code]this is how i am calling jwplayer:[code]The problem is that in both even if you click on the play button, the video will start but the play icon won't hide Also, in flowplayer the player will add an extra instance of the video (or at least the sound) each time you click the play button.I am really not sure why this won't work as expected, what am i missing here?Also, the volume controls won't work.URL....
View 2 RepliesI'm doing a project like youtube. After some try, I can run FMS, dynamic playlist and flowplayer (I think this is what I need, am I right?) However, when I try to combine them, I discover a lot of problems. I follow this [URL] beginner_dynstre am_fms.html to learn about FMS, this [URL] to learn about dynamic playlist, this [URL] to learn about flowplayer. In the tutorial, the dynamic playlist cant run with FMS (even the tutorial says can, but when I try it, it cant!), and it is using Flash and as(AS3), the flowplayer is using html and js, I really cont know how to combine these 3 things together.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a music player where the music list is loaded using xml. I am using sound object and the streaming property is set to 'true'. Now I want to calculate sound.duration, but I don't get the actual value when it is streaming, probably because the entire file is not downloaded at once because of streaming, and it is returning the duration of the portion of the file downloaded. So I am unable to develop a seek bar which shows the current position of the music.
I even tried to get the file duration using ID3 tag but the TIME property does not seem to work either.
Another options could be using php to get the duration of the mp3 file and generate an xml file which specifies the duration of the file.
if Flash can listen for a click/drag on the seek bar playhead from the FLV player controls? I'm attempting to perform an action when a user drags the playhead through the video.
View 2 RepliesI built an MP3 player a couple years back in AS2. I have tried various tutorials and can't seem to implement a basic seek bar.

It's currently published to work with Flash Player 8, and works fine - except for no seek bar.

I'm building an flv player using the cs4/as3 video playback component as a basis with custom buttons on the interface. I'm trying to figure out how to do rewind or fastfoward using a button instead of a scrub bar. I've seen plenty of tutorials on how to develop a scrub bar but I can't figure out a way to apply the theory to a button you hold down and it fast forwards/rewinds until you mouse off.
Obviously a mouse_down event only fires one signal and causes a jump effect if you click repeatedly, so is there a way of firing multiple events whilst holding down the mouse button?
Code:
flvPlaybackComponentname.seek(flvPlaybackComponentname.playheadTime + fastForwardSeekAmount);
to achieve the skip through the video, but this only happens as I said with multiple clicks.
I'm not able to create a working seek bar (or progress bar or timeline bar) to give the viewer complete control for where they want to play an animation. The animation is a .fla file, which moves frame-by-frame with motion tweens). There are 4446 total frames (at 12 fps), so I'd like the viewer to be able to skip ahead or back as they desire. The instructions I've found so far all have to do with FLV files instead of FLA.I've tried the following Actionscript, but I get errors(which are also listed below). As the seek bar object, I'm using the UIScrollBar (with a horizontal direction).[code]I'm more than willing to try a different Actionscript.

No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flvs work perfectly on both players.

When a the child movie fades-out, the handle of the seek bar is retained. If I watch the movie multiple times, multiple seek bar handles remain behind.

I can create play/pause funtionality just fine with stream.play(); and stream.pause();, but I also want to have a seek bar for the user to scrub. I'm just starting this, and I think I can do it once I figure out how to call the flv total length and link it to a custom seek bar movieclip. So is there a way to call on the total length of a flv file?
such as:
var videoLength:uint = videoMain.length;
Do you know why the VideoDisplay.seek() would always go to the same frame at 1 second, no matter whether it is asked to seek forward or backward? This happens to some MP4 and other others. Is there some functions or variables I need to set?The MP4s that don't work with VideoDisplay.seek(), can be seeked using Quicktime.
View 5 RepliesI know seeking to a cue point is known to be inaccurate at times so I'm wondering if the accuracy of seeking to time and secs better. So far I've seen no true difference.
View 12 RepliesCurrently i am working with the dvr functionality here i need to set the seek bar for the video. This could be used to seek the video to the particular position. I don't know how to set the maximum time on the seek bar dynamically (Since its DVR maximum time will be increase if publishing video is continues) .I think through the metadata we can get the total time of video Tell me how to call the metadata externally .
