Flash :: What Happens When A Youtube Swf File Is Buffered
Feb 5, 2010
Whenever a youtube or any other flash content is buffered on the browser, isn't it true that is downloaded to the client computer ? So my assumption is that, any completely buffered youtube file should be found on my client right ? For example, when i view this video on youtube, i see that it is actually referring to this swf location [URL] How does youtube actually buffer this video on my computer then ?
Note: My objective is NOT to download youtube videos as i know there are extensions available for it. I just want to know how it works :) .

I can get which part of file in bytes is loaded using netstream.bytesLoaded,netstream.bytesTotal, I can get the current playing position using netstream.time. But I want to know how many seconds of video are already loaded (not the length of buffer, which remains constant).

I was wondering if there is a current class or library in a web language (php, perl, etc.) that is able to extract audio from flash files or youtube links directly.

Normally we use NetStream.Seek method but it will make the seek after the buffer area crossed the seek time length.(HTTP). Can we seek the video that is beyond the buffered area like youtube in red5. Will it start the buffer from the seek point.

How to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.

I am trying to play a Youtube video in a Flash SWF. I have a button (video_btn) and a black rectangle movie clip (480 x 365) named video_mc. The AS2 I have for video_btn is:
video_btn.onRelease=function(){
createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc",_root.getNextHighe stDepth());
video_mc.loadMovie("http://youtube/.......");
};
This does not seem to be working locally. I did try uploading a test swf to a free swf hosting website but it still does not play the Youtube video.

When recording a video to FMIS if the stream is buffered, does this get buffered in memory or does it use up local storage?
I am developing an application that will use a web cam to record videos which will then be submitted to the server. Ideally I would have liked to write the video to disk first and then upload later however, I understand that I can't do this with flash (my solution has to be in browser AIR apps aren't an option). I am ultimately concerned about video quality so in order to ensure that I loose as few frames as possible I'm planning on setting NetStream.bufferTime to a large value. I am concerned however that someone with a poor internet connection and a good webcam will quickly use up local storage assuming that it is set to the default of 100K.
If this is the case then I potentially need to think again about my approach - maybe even look into Silverlight 4, or at the very least try and explain to my users how to go into flash settings and set local storage to be unlimited.

I'm moving an movieclip using the cursor keys. The device it has to run on, is too slow to process the keys realtime, so the keys are placed in a some sort of buffer and the object keeps on moving for a while when the key is released.The device places 8 keys in the buffer per second, but flash can only process 5 per second, so holding the key for a second, will look like I've pressed it almost twice as long. Any way to counteract this? I've tried using Key.isDown, but that returns true, even though they key is released, until the buffer is emptied.
I've tried using the onKeyDown event to start the movement and stop the movement using the onKeyUp event, but it seems like the onKeyUp event only occurs when the buffer becomes empty. Even when I remove the onKeyDown listener, it seems like the buffer only decreases 1 key per frame. It might have worked when there is no keyrepeat in the hardware, but that is not an option. It would be good if there was a timestamp indicating when the key was pressed, or some way to clear the buffer, but I've not found one.

I wanted to know if this is possible. On my site I want to play youtube videos from my account from youtube. Basically, there will be an empty text box. Users will type in some text. Click on a button to search and play a random video based off tags associated with a video from my youtube account with the words from the text box? And if they did the same search it wouldn't play the same video again?

I have been trying to embed a video from youtube into an SWF file. I have been looking at the various posts here and I found this actionscript code:
System.security.allowDomain("YOUTUBE DOMAIN would go here");
System.security.loadPolicyFile("YOUTUBEDOMAIN would go here/crossdomain.xml");
this.createEmptyMovieClip("video_mc", 10000);
this.video_mc.loadMovie
("I had to remove this link so I could post it normally would have the youtube link to the video file");
I created a movie instance on my stage and called it video_mc and pasted the code into a frame.
When I press ctrl and enter to test the flash document I get my page as expected and the youtube video appears,however I get the following message:
'*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
Connection to null halted - not permitted 'I had to remove this link so I could post this on this forum -my post count is less than 50- normally would have the youtube link to the video file
-- Remote SWFs may not access local files.'

have been trying to extract information from this file on YouTube using AS3. I have managed to access ytID (YouTube video ID) along with the ytName (YouTube video name) from a specific channel (called through the loader). I am stumped on how to get the thumbnail URL. I have managed to find out that through YouTube, its tag is media:thumbnail, however, Flash gives me an error for trying to use a semicolon.
Code:
stop();
var xml:XML;
var videoDisplayLimit:Number = 1;[code]....

I found an interesting questions regarding the events in action script: is the event buffered and ordered?
Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be first executed. Imagine a case that the INIT event fired first but the handler to handle the INIT event be setup later, will the handler be invoked?
Another question, if the loaded swf fired several events very fast, will the events be kept ordered as the fire sequence?

what I'm trying to put together is some code that will load in multiple flvs, buffer the vids and have them play one after the other in a loop. I have so far code that loads in an array of flvs but doesn't loop. Also the buffering stops the play back for a moment towards the end of the first video, not sure why but changing Flush into Full doesn't help. Anyone know how to add a buffer that plays after a % of the movie it buffered or will buffer movie one and then buffer movie two while the first movie is still playing? As for looping goes I need a listener waiting for the last video in the array to be completed, but not sure how to pull that off.

I'd like to start playing a web-based video at a specific time, say 2 minutes in, even if the video hasn't been downloaded that far. I thought I could just "seek" to that time but that apparently only works when the video is buffered first.
So for example, this:
Code:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("[URL]");
ns.seek(123);
video.attachVideo(ns);
Seems to work if you have the video cached or buffered or whatever, but if you don't it gives the "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime" error, which makes sense. I want to know if it's possible to start playing a video at a specific time, even if the video hasn't loaded up to that point.

I have 4 flv playback instances on a stage.
1. when i load 4 videos and ensure they are fully buffered from video progress event and bytesloaded==bytestotal . and then play them. I get sync issues for every other second.
2. when i download the vidoes and place them in my project folder and then load them ( no loading time) there are no sync issues. I cant understand why 1 is different from 2 as we are completely loading the videos in cache.

I was making a player which calls videos from youtube and displays it in my flash playback component. The script loads the videos fine but when i want the flash to load the same video ID from an external XML data source, it loads the youtube player API but not the video. Here is the code
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
Security.allowDomain("*");
var my_player:Object;
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("[URL]"));
[Code] .....
This script loads the video from youtube.com with an specific ID which i have defined at
my_player.cueVideoById("53OyPYa7SEI",0)
Later I defined and XML file called "videos.xml" where I passed the youtube link and tried to call the video from that xml file in flash. But the problem comes there. Here is the xml code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<videos>
<VIDEO url="[URL]" id=1/>
<VIDEO url="[URL]" id=2/>
</videos>
How to call the video from an XML file?
