I've set a custom client for a FLVPlayback's netStream, to attach my own functions (onXMPData, onMetaData) to parse the various info myself. However, i'd still like to pass the meta data back to the VideoPlayer. How do I do this? I tried dispatching a METADATA_RECEIVED event with the metadata object (tried dispatching from the client, the netstream, the video player, the flvplayback..), but it does not work.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to use the VideoPlayer class instead of FLVPlayback because in theory it uses up less space as it does not have all the skins etc.However I've found that if I want to throw a VideoEvent to check when the video has finished playing, if I do not have a component of FLVPlayback in my fla. file library I get a compilation error saying it can not find the "VideoEvent" class even t hough I have the correct import lines at the top.So what's the point? That would mean that by using VideoPlayer I cant make my swf smaller and I lose functionality.
View 0 RepliesI've made a very simple video player from bits I've found on the internet and it's working great provided I want to only use 1 video...
I have added two buttons on the stage and the idea is, if you click "videoBtn1_mc" it plays video1 and if you click "videoBtn2_mc" it plays video2.
I can't seem to eject/unload the first video that is loaded in. Once it loaded in it will just play that one no matter which btn I click...
Here is my code. The buttons I'm referring to are right at the bottom...
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

What must I add to eject/unload the current video so the new one can load in?
Just a quick question, I am trying 3 things at the moment:
I know its htp:// but it wouldnt let me use the right one due to post count.
Code:
ui_vpMain.source = "htp://192.168.0.102:4040/video.flv&u=test&p=test&maxBitRate=1000"

I'm trying to create a playlist for a videoplayer that is already created, using XML.
Here is the code:
Code: Select allarquivo_xml = new XML();
arquivo_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
arquivo_xml.onLoad = function(success){
[Code].....
I want that the button created, when pressed, go to a specific URL. So in this exemple above, I created a text field (instance name ->"teste1") to display the URL . But the only XML node that appears is the last one. I'm starting to use XML, so I can't understand what is going wrong, because so far, I could do the name("File1,File2,File3") of the file appear OK in the button the I created with the "attach" function.
Imagine for a minute that you live in an imperfect world and you're having to work with people who think that a url to a youtube page (.html) is the same thing as a url to a flv (.flv). Long story shorter, your VideoPlayer.load() keeps getting html files passed in instead of flv files. I'm running a try/catch, but I'm not sure how to reset the source on the VideoPlayer.
VideoPlayer.source is read-only and
VideoPlayer.load(null)
Gives the same error as
VideoPlayer.load([*.html])
If not, I'm just going to do an extension check before I do VideoPlayer.load().
I'm using fl.video.VideoPlayer and I'd like to be able to seek arbitrarily within the video. seek() works unless the given time isn't yet loaded, in which case the video hiccups and continues playing normally. I'd like it to seek to the specified second even if it's not yet loaded, loading/buffering as necessary. I've tried seek() and play() and haven't been able to make this work.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to playback recorded streams from a Flash Media Interactive Server using the VideoPlayer component in Flex 4/Flash Builder 4.If the stream is located in the serverpath>/ streams/vod/_definst_ directory then I can get to it by setting the 'source' parameter of the VideoPlayer to [code]What I can't get to work is when I have a stream recorded to an instance within an application directory.So if the application is "app1' and the instance name is "inst1" it would be literally located in <serverpath>/ app1/ streams/ inst1 directory. Setting the source parameter to this "<server>/ app1/ inst1/ streamname" does not work.It seams to be ignoring the 'inst1' part of the path because the server side log shows '_definst_' as the instance name being run.I know this is in part a Flex 4 question, but manually writing a video player works. I would just like to get the Flex 4 VideoPlayer component to play the video.
View 2 Replies1) I wan't to do a fullscreen videoplayer that listens to the keyboard and that plays a videoclip on demand. I will not use menues or onscreen buttons.
It should work almost like a Video DJ application or a audio sampleplayer but for video. So; when I press any one of maybe ten keys the corresponding videoclip should be played.
I intend to run this locally using Flash player hence not on a browser or on internet so I'm not really limited by bandwidth. I'm on CS4 Flash Professional.
2) Is there a IDE, a runtime development enviroment, for Flash aimed for AS? Despite working on a daily basis with digital media for many years incl. coding in php, javascipt, asp.net, etc I still have a tough time understanding Flash and AS3.
3) A part from traditional keyboard input is there a way for Flash and/or Flashplayer to listen to an non-standard USB input, say a touchpad, joystick etc?
I have a videoplayer that loads video from xml and players it. The code works well when loading the xml.But because I need it to run the video on the server I user php code that echos xml to access videos:

echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Update: Turns out this is undocumented behaviour of the NetStream class - NetStream loads relative to the swf, as opposed to URLRequest which loads relative to the HTML doc...annoying.I am having a strange issue where loading an FLV file using thefl.video.VideoPlayer class that comes with CS4: Adobe docs hereUsually when loading external content into flashplayer, the path is relative to the HTML page that the swf is embedded in - but when I try and load an FLV using the VideoPlayer class the player looks for a path relative to the swf, not to the HTML (as you would expect).
eg:
My file setup is:index.html (which contains the swf)swf/my-video-player.swfvideo/my-video.flv

I want to format the currentTime displayed by a videoPlayer component inside flex, something like : 8230.999 to something like 01:59:59:999 which is "hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds". I tried different sets of codes but they can't get it to work because currentTime is nor a correct milliseconds time as it adds a floating 3 digit point to seconds;
So instead of : 2000ms it outputs 2.000

View 3 RepliesIs it possible in Flex 4's VideoPlayer control (spark.components.VideoPlayer) to detect some attributes of the source video?
In my case, it's a local file. I would need to detect the original width and height of the input source video (an h264 f4v).
is there any way to change the black in background in the VideoPlayer component that comes with Flex 4 ?
I can change every color but i can't change the black in background.
I've landed a project which is centered around building a custom video player with some special functionality (so I can't just use the default Flash video player, unfortunately). I have two small 'problems' in the sense that I could probably solve them myself, but I'd like some input on best practice for solving them:(The project is for Flash Player 10 and the video is intended to run inside a browser.)
Toggling between normal / fullscreen playback Ok, so my custom video player needs to be able to toggle between fullscreen and normal embedded-in-webpage player size. How does fullscreen toggling currently work in AS3 -is there a specific AS3 method for fullscreening a specified video object in the swf (without stretching the video player UI in the swf itself), and if so, does it automatically black out the background if the screen format doesn't match the video format? - or do I need to download a class for this?
Positioning video player UI when going fullscreen As opposed to YouTube, I want the player UI to still show up when the video is toggled to fullscreen mode - but as mentioned above, I don't want to stretch its size along with the video. So is there a best practice for repositioning the video player UI to the vertical bottom and horizontal center of the screen when the user clicks full screen? I'm not entirely familiar with what happens to the Flash stage when it goes full screen,. How to deal with not knowing the coordinates of the vertical bottom/horizontal center when screens have different ratios and resolutions?

I used a listener to call a function after the event TimeEvent.COMPLETE occurs(video finishes). In the function i call the function player.seek(20) for example but it doesnīt work. The video keeps in the end of it.
View 1 RepliesI don't know why, I don't know how, but for some reason setting the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property to anything past its default value of 0.1 will (more often than not) make it so the .flv metadata does not ever make it to the video player. Granted, this may also have to do with my slow connection, but I know I am not the only one who has had this problem hose of you who have made players with custom seek-bars know the lack of metadata is can be a problem because the FLVPlayback.totalTime property is set directly from the"duration" property of the FLVPlayback.metadata objecty suspicion as to why this is not a more widespread issue is due to the "one video per player" nature of players on websites. I don't believe that players often reuse the net connection of the same FLVPlayback control to load one video after another (however, I could be wrong, this is all assumption on my part anyways).1) The FLVPlayback's net connection is reused (that is, you call the load() or play() method several times during the lifetime of the videoplayer.
2) You notice that occasionally meta information is never received when you increase the buffer time to a value above the default.3) Your seek-bar does respond or you get a run-time error when you try to seek (most likely because totalTime property NaN and the playheadPercentage property relies on this value)The simple solution (or so I am led to believe ): set the buffer time back to the default value before every call to the new connection. In other words, make sure that the the FLVPlayback.bufferTime property is set to 0.1 before calling the load() or play() method for a new video. This will ensure that the metadata is properly received by the component for playhead calculations.
Code:
//assume we have an existing FLVPlayback component
myFLVplayback:FLVPlayback = this.flvPlayer as FLVPlayback;

I've been trying very diligently to recieve id3 metadata from a streaming mp3. I have it streaming and it works great, but I need to grab the duration in the metadata.here's the jist of my code,
id3_ns = new NetStream(connection);
id3_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
netStatusHandler);[code]....
The only other thing I can think of trying is see if my mp3 is screwed-up, but I don't think it is because I can see the
metadata in the properties of the file.
In Flash CS3 when you did Modify/Document it allowed you to type in a document Title and Description which were metadata searchable by internet search engines. According to the book "Brilliant Flash CS4" this is still possible in CS4, but I think they have removed the option, and the book is wrong. add metadata for searching to FLA documents or is this now gone?

Iīm playing around with SWF files exported from indesign CS4. I wonder if there is a way to read any metadata from those files. Or is there any? I have not found any AS3 method to trace metadata like time/date or even some unique ID...something that I could use later to specify that file.
