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 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 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.

I 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 RepliesLI 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'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
So I was wondering if there was a way to create a video player or edit some open source video player with the functionality that users can add comments straight from the video player. So if you're trying to picture it, it would be something like this: the tool bar at the botom would have the usual seek bar, volume control, play/pause buttons etc, and now an additional button that when clicked would trasform the tool bar into a text box which can be used to enter comments while watching videos. The comments would then be entered below the video.

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.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load a video (~ 1 hour long). Everything works fine except that thonMetaData is never firing.
ActionScript Code:
var customClient:Object = new Object();
customClient.onMetaData = onMetaData;

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
//will be adding new video when this function is called
public function set newVideo():void
{
videoProperties();
[Code].....
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.
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 2 RepliesI 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) {
duration = obj["duration"];
var minutes2:Number = Math.round(duration/60);
var seconds2 = Math.round(duration%60);

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 ">>> <<<").
Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
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;

Flash media server 3.5 to stream live video to a webpage with flex GUI embedded in it.For this I have used Adobe flash media server start screen .I could able to stream video correctly.I want to know how long it could be do like this.ie suppose I have to stream like this for 3 or 6 months
View 2 RepliesIn a custom queue, there's a push() and a pop() function. The pop() may be called any time on an Event.COMPLETE, so does this mean that code can be running in push() and pop() simultaneously? If so, is there a way to prevent the code from being run in both functions at the same time?
View 3 RepliesIf you create a Video object and trying to use the the BitmapData.draw() method on a DisplayObjectContainer that has the Video in it, if the video has not begun to play you will get this Security warning:[code]However, I found that by calling a phony url to init the video works great and gets around this issue. If you were to call _ns.close(); at any point, you would have the security issue again.
View 7 RepliesI have quite a challenge on my hands. I need to retrieve flashvars from a deeply nested child swf. I've scoured the net for days for an answer, but none seem to work. My issue here is that I can't figure out how to access the uppermost root (loader swf) from the child swf. When I say nested, I mean 5 levels deep, so it gets pretty hairy.
View 9 Repliesthis is working, but I would really like to have the jpegs, as linked items in the library, or just in the same folder / path as the swf file,how can I change this to achieve that..I need that to get the prelaoding to work, or work the only way I know how to in the scope of things

directory = "http://www.pathToImages.com/pic/";

View 5 RepliesI have several movieclips on the stage. They are linked (via properties - as linkage) to a class I created (GeoPuzzle).
The constructor calls several methods and has several properties that I set in the main timeline.
These methods are never accessed. I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know how to make these methods run, since they are in the contructor.[code]...
I'm trying to access a shared object created by one flash application from another flash application. Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do?
If not, are there any other ways to share the information between the applications?
