Security :: Secure And Cheap Method For Streaming Flash Video?
Sep 8, 2010
I'm working on a site which allows people to pay to stream videos online. I'm currently using JW Player to stream FLV/F4V files from Amazon S3, using a signature.This method is extremely unstable, and needless to say, useless. I've heard I can use Amazon CloudFront as a CDN for my videos. But that it won't make the files any more secure, if I've understood it correctly.Price is an important thing. I know hosting/streaming video is expensive, but what are my best options, for a cheap, reliable, and as-safe-you-can solution for me? I have very little hosting experience,
Alright so I'm making a website for my friends band, and they want to have a music player to play their MP3's. One of the things I'm concerned about though, is the security of the MP3 files. Their albums are on iTunes to buy, so I'm looking for what the best option to have the MP3s be played but not be able to be downloaded and saved.The best thing I can think of is embedding the MP3's inside a Flash music player, but that would be more work than it's worth it seems.
I have an application running on flex and php, connected using amfphp, i added a secure channel to services.conf of amfphp [code]how do i know if flex is actually using this secure channel? i tried [code]from the php side and they are both false ... but if i remove these checks it works fine, I'm using wamp, with mod_ssl, and working from localhost
An Adobe FLEX 4 object loads from a webpage and runs in the browser. The connection between browser and server is secured using SSL over HTTP (HTTPS) with a secure certificate from a valid Certificate Authority.
Can FLEX code read the secure certificate information and retrieve information such as to whome the certificate was issued, when it is valid, and for what domain it was issued, etc. ?
I tried asking this on the Spring forums ([URL]) but did not get a response. I'm working on a web application that has an (end user) user interface built in Flex and a management user interface built using Spring MVC. I'm trying to secure both interfaces and can get each one working separately, but not together. I'm using a snapshot build of spring-flex-core 1.5.0 with Spring Security 3.1RC1 and Spring 3.1M1
[Code]...
I'm obviously missing something but while the Spring Flex documentation describes how to configure a hybrid MVC+Flex application at the servlet level it appears to only consider security from the perspective of a flex-only application.
I have Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 (not Interactive) running on RHEL5.5 x86_64 Linux.All is working well, however how do I prevent unauthorized access to connecting to the live stream and streaming content?How can I setup the server to require a user and password to stream live media to the server?I am new to this product and I have been reading some documentation but I have not found a clear cut answer on how to force a username and password to connect to the server to stream live content only.I am using the Adobe FMS Apache install, what files need changing?[code]I want to lock down a person from connecting to the server on the public internet and starting a live stream?Can this be done with a user name and password?
I am streaming flash video and the dimension of the video is 1280 by 720 (same size as the stage)
but just before the video streams, there is a quick flash of the video (about 320px by 240px) at the top corner of the stage, and then it plays the videos at the correct size (which is 1280 by 720) .... a quick flash is the best way I can explain it.
This is my code:
function clicked(event:MouseEvent):void { var video:Video = new Video(); addChild(video);
[Code]....
is there anyway I can stop that quick flash of the video .... so when I click on the button, it just plays the video, at the correct size?
I want to play smooth streaming video from IIS using the flash video player like e.g. jw flash player instead of silverlight player?Which video format should I use in this case? Can flash then play e.g a video via smooth streming encoded with microsoft encoder?Do you know some alternative video players, that combines flash and silverlight functionality (selected per java script) to use with flash and silverlight?
I am trying to make a flash movie and have it find a external movie to show. I also need to be able to change the location of the video without flash, so I think I have to use a seperate .as file.
suppose I have an AS3 app made using FlashDevelop (I don't have the expensive IDE). Now I want to turn it into AIR app to deploy it on mobile or run it on the desktop or whatever. So how do I do that? Is there a free conversion utility? Or would I need to either buy some IDE or else get somebody else with a license do the conversion for me?
We are planning a desktop client application with Adobe AIR. The client app will be delivered to our customers with a database, which contains monthly updated marketing data provided by our company. As different customers will buy different sets of data from us, for example, a customer is only interested in marketing data in a specific product category, while another customer need all data in a certain region. After a customer installs this client app, new data will be emailed to the customer every month.
So, the requirement is to keep the data accessible only by the customer who bought it. After reading through AIR's secure local store and database encryption feature, I came up with the following design: each customer will have his own secret key (stored in AIR's secure local store), the secret key is used to encrypt the data that the customer has purchased. Of course, the monthly data that we sent to the customer will be encrypted using the same secret key. So my questions are: is AIR's database encryption and secure local store secure enough for this use case? If someone gets the encrypted database file, can he decrypt the DB?
I have setup allowedhtmldomains & allowedswfdomains. is this safe enough? i just noticed a unusual entry to my server. log Accepted a connection from IP:X.205.45.212, referrer: [URL] the problem is all these url is not valid , site name is ok but there is no such directory /user/world_cup/player.swf so how was this connection accepted? is there a way to crack these security on FMS. What other things i can do to secure my live stream?
I need a flash video player for our public site where users will share videos.The video usage model is similar to youtube as far as video part is concerned.Users will upload and share videos. Users will browse and play all shared videos as well.The videos will be streamed from the server and our app is a .NET/C#/JQuery application.We have 3 options:
1) Either buy a commercial flash player
2) Customize a open source player or use free player and customize its gui
3) Develop our own (time consuming and last resort)
I am required to find a flash video player with these requirements:
Player should work in all major browsers (IE, FF, Chrome, Safari)
Player should have way to inject Advertisement clips when playing a video file
Light weight and easy to integrate
Must support streaming and scale
Plus all other basic features of a flash video player.

I immediately fired firebug in firefox but surprisingly the video source is not in the requests.tp://hwcdn.net/m7n9i8d5/fms/videos/5_Standard_Zipper/B_Overview_of_Zipper_Types.flv.smil is the last request that is being made. response being:
I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on [URL], whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. (specifically, iphone / ipad)
Is there a browser-sniffing framework, or some other method available to accomplish this?
I have a problem with an embedded flash video not playing to the end, it stops around half way It is a 4 minute video with sound, the FLV file is around 24Mo This is a normal server not a flash streaming server .
I have at least 10 other sites on line with a flash video on the home page and they all work fine.on the same server.only difference is that this file is about 10 Mo bigger on average.
I contacted the company where my server is hosted and they say that it looks like a java script problem but I am using flash 8 pro standard <object> no java script to detect version etc.[code]...
I have a simple flash video player that streams the video from a streaming media server. The stream plays fine and I have no problems with playing the video and doing simple functions. However, my problem is that on a mouse over of the video, I have the controls come up and when I do a seek or scrub on the video, I get little weird boxes that show over the video - like little pockets - of the video playing super fast (you can basically see it seeking) until it gets to the point it needs to be at and then these little boxes disappear.
Is there any way to do dynamic video streaming in flash without using Flash Media Server (FMS) 3.5 as it's a very expensive software but using some open-source software or in any other way.
Its been two years since I built a video player and back then Flash was the only choice (just about). My question is if I want to stream a .h24 video over the web that is cross browser and platform compatible, has anything the ubiquity of Flash? How about Flowplayer?
I almost think it's impossible but I know little. I saw once on a website a streaming webcam video in fact it was live. I right-clicked it and it was in flash. Does anyone know how do streaming video with a webcam in flash?
I'm gonna make a streaming video in Flash.But I don't know how I'm gonna start,do you got some examples or good tutorials?Can I load the video from Internet or must it be in Flash?
When using the fileReference.download method to let users download content from my server. Some users get a Security error when trying to downlaod. When studying the fileReference class it says: To avoid this situation, reclassify this SWF file as local-with-networking or trusted. But how do I do that? Do I import the security class and then set secrurity to: Security.LOCAL_WITH_NETWORK; If yes. Should I do that in my base class or the class that is "creating the error"? Or should I change the Local playback security to "Access network only" (I am using the cs3 flash)?
I have a .swf file at one domain that is trying to play a video on my influxis account. So far, so good.But I am trying to draw a bitmap based on the video that is playing on my influxis account and I am getting the following error:
Can someone explain how the cross-domain policy file works? Like, do I need to place the policy file on the same server as my .swf or on the server with the influxis account?Influxis has a admin panel where you can set a referring domain, do I just enter the domain of my .swf file?Also, do I have to add actionscript to my .swf file to access the policy file?
I've been trying to insert a video in a flash project that is hosted on a flash media server. I put the address wich by the way is [URL] and it doesn't work, I'm pretty sure that the address is right, am I misssing something?
