Add video player controls?

• Autohide the HTML5 player controls when the video is suspended as well.

  The HTML5 player controls will hide after a few seconds when a video begins to play, either click on a YouTube video link, or when the video is taken from the break. However, the controls will be visible as long as the video is paused. The controls are quite obstructive due to certain times when I need a break to see a certain thing in the video in a very short time-frame but got covered by the player controls and disappears when resume playback. So, how to make controls of the HTML5 to hide also automatically a few seconds after the video player is paused or instantly hides when the mouse is outside the area of the drive?

  Hi frfxuser, the embedded player works the way you describe, but YouTube uses scripts to customize the player controls, so you would need a specific YouTube 'hack' to hide the application.

  One possible approach would be to use a Bookmarklet, which is a snippet of JavaScript that you can save on your bookmarks bar or Bookmarks Menu for quick access. The script can assign controls ' view: no ', then when you click on the new button, remove this rule so they show once again and you can return to normal.

  If you want to try it:

  A time of installation:

  (A) select and copy the following script:

  javascript:var s=document.getElementById('stylehidecontrols'); if(s){s.remove();} else{s=document.createElement('style'); s.id='stylehidecontrols'; var r='#movie_player .ytp-gradient-top, #movie_player .ytp-chrome-top, #movie_player .ytp-progress-bar-container, #movie_player .ytp-chrome-controls{display:none !important}'; s.appendChild(document.createTextNode(r)); document.body.appendChild(s);} void 0;

  (B) right click a place on the bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Toolbar where you want to save the script and choose new bookmark

  (C) in the location box, paste the script, and then in the name box, type something you remember as YT hide and click the Add button

  To use the bookmarklet:

  After clicking on pause, click on the bookmarklet to run the script on the page and hide the controls.

  You can return to the player by clicking on it, but if you want comprehensive controls, click on the bookmarklet button again to remove the hack of the page style.

• pop ups continue to add to update video player and they keep opening keep tabs. How can I stop it?

  New tabs keep open asking me to update my video player

  If the new tabs are relentless, you may need to restart Firefox Safe mode to get little peace. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

• Help with Volume control for the video player

  Hey!

  My video plays and stops correctly on my video player, but I can't understand this volume control. My cursor moves to the way I want it, but the volume does not adjust. Please tell me what is wrong with my code:

  slider_1.onPress = function() {}

  this.startDrag (true, _root.volume_bar1._x, _root.volume_bar1._y, _root.volume_bar1._x + 133, _root.volume_bar1._y);

• How to control a built-in video player of CS5?

  Hello!

  So, there's this video player that opens, when I import an flv video in my fla (Flash CS5) project. It can be customized with different buttons, but I would like that it has a button which redirects me to a web page that opens in a new tab in the browser.

  The problem is, I want the video to stop when the button is clicked and the new tab opens. but I can only add this button outside the flv player, so if I call an actionscript stop(); It affects her, she continued to play.

  How to stop it?

  Thanks: sassom

  If you use the FLVPlayback component, you must assign an instance name and then use that name to target for him to stop.

  You assign an instance name to it by selecting on the stage and by entering its name in the properties panel where it says .  Then in the button event handler code use you that name to indicate to the player to stop... If you call it flvPlayer, you would use: flyPlayer.stop ();

• Am I being hacked from a website of popup saying I need to update my video player?

  I've been on Fingerhut. com (first time) when a popup that has engulfed the entire page said that I had to update my video player and should be less than one minute, 10 seconds actually. He just didn't feel, so I googled and he came is a scam, at least I'm sure it's a scam, I moved my mouse over the button install and the link was helpingtrk.com/base2.php. I googled url and is came up with what I thought was a a forum page, but it was another page of the scam, the url that has been http://mediaupdate15.com/418888/?v1=1 & v2 = 1 & v3 = 1 AND when I looked in my 'history', that the link had a greyed link that has been http://za1.zeroredirect1.com/zcvisitor/a7c6b420-12eb-11e5-bbcf-0a936b024545 that appears in my cookies in gray.

  I NEVER clicked on anything whatsoever on the pages, my question is, just being on these pages, I got my computer infected by a virus?

  If you have not downloaded anything, then most likely you are not infected. But it is worth checking:

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This should help discover any install/updater that can push other unwanted software. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) very probably, it was generated by an ad in the site, but please check for bad just in case modules.

  Open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  (3) Finally, you can complete your security software regular with sweeping/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

• aid is the development of components for the AS3 video player

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a video player that

  can be resized at design time with should stretch controls (play, pause

  button, volume seekbar controls full button screen etc.)

  I found the same

  kind of player in AS2.0 here. The best part is that it can be resized in the design

  should have stretch of time with its controls.

  emehmedovic.com/xmca/toobplayer/

  You may have already looked at this but, you can use a flvplayback component that has no controls and then add the controls that you are interested in individually to the scene. You can then size and position the control components you want and then use Actionscript to connect each component control for the flvplayback component.

• Video player does not play movie every time

  Hello

  I am a beginner with flash technology . I use "Flex builder 4.5" and tries to insert a video on a web site that play a lot of films (on DP or Direct Play mode).

  My problem is that the video player does not load the film selected each time (it fail to initialize) and (how to explain properly...) when gel loading, if I select the same movie again in the list, it load it in a second.

  For me, a video is "charged" when metadata are received (video in day time) and the play button is on.

  But the method is called to load the video (in fact initialization) is the same every time. I have change the attribute 'source' of the video player, and the initialize() method is called automatically.

  Can you help me find how to make sure that load a video on my player (in 100% of cases) which extends from the Flex mx.controls.VideoDisplay?

  Or can you explain why the video player does not load the video as well on Firefox than IE or SAFARI (on MAC)? Is the plugin different? Because on an old computer with IE, the video player do not work at all (never load movies).

  For now, I think to add a timer on load and every 30 seconds restart the method init if video not yet initialized. But this isn't a solution, just a patch that may not work.

  I'm french, sorry for syntax errors or other. I tried to be as clear as possible. Feel free to correct me!

  Happy new year to all...

  Okay, I solved it by myself.
  So if this could help someone, I use the attribute "stateChange" of the VideoDisplay component to manage the loading film correctly.

  This site help me powerfully:

  /* The built-in video display object would not work for our purposes, because it would leak enormous amounts of memory (in the order of 200-300MB) every time a new
   * video was loaded in and played. It was almost as though it retained all previous videos played in memory, rather than replacing the video it had loaded.
   * After farther investigation, I believe it had to do with the fact that s:VideoDisplay discards the source and videoGateway, and creates a new one, meaning that
   * garbage collection has to get in there and fix it. However it doesn't unless RAM is also being lost in enough little chunks, so...it never cleaned up.
   * This is the first attempt to fix that, by directly manipulating the netStream, and streaming the video, rather than loading it in as was happening in s:VideoDisplay.
   * I have, however, followed the structure that was presented in s:VideoDisplay provided by Adobe in the Flex 4.0.1 framework as far as where events and public functions
   * and so forth are declared. This video player uses a lot of code and ideas from s:VideoDisplay and the player described at

• How can I get rid of this suspicious popup: 'your video player Firefox must be updated. Last version released: 12 September 2015 "?"

  I believe that I have a piece of malware affecting firefox. I frequently get a popup, allegedly from Mozilla, saying: Your Firefox video player needs to be updated. Latest published version: [today].
  Malwarebytes didn't find anything. Trend Micro is nothing. I can't find anything. Can you offer any help.

  If you are interested to try other free malware scanners, here's a list:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  However, I suspect that the problem may be caused by one of your addons. I think that maybe it's the MediaPlayer 3.3.2 available to you.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  More information on the use of safe mode can be found here:

  • The problems of Firefox in Mode safe

• The update for the video player is for Windows, I have a Mac, is an another scheduled update?

  I received two notifications that the video player for Firefox should be updated. When I try to install the update, I get the message that it cannot do so because it is impossible to run Windows applications on a Mac. An update is planned for Macs? Also, if an update is only for Windows, is there a way I can indicate that I don't need, so I continue to receive messages?

  You have malicious software! (Yes, Macs can get malware).

  Please remove this extension and see if that helps: MediaPlayer 3.3.2

  You can do this on the page modules. Either:

  • CMD + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then find this suspicious extension on the right side and remove (or, in case of doubt, disable).

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled/removed to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

• Qosmio X 770 - are looking for best free video player to play with 2D to 3D movie

  I have a Qosmio X 770 with NVidia 3D playback. I'm looking for the best free video player for playback of video clips 2D to 3D.

  Toshiba Video Player works fine, but I can't get it to play files in MP4 - AVC format. Is it possible to add codecs so it will play other formats?

  NVIDIA 3D Vision Player don't play all formats but when in 3D mode, there is no access to the commands. Volume can be set with the function keys and video can be suspended with combinations of keys that do not forget, but you can not fast to the front/back or access the slider to change the video position.

  Both are reasonable solutions, but none is perfect. Is there a better option out there? I tried StereoscopicPlayer but could not operate and it is limited to 5 minutes of play in any case.

  Both are reasonable solutions, but none is perfect.

  Software freeware as a perfect solution?
  I don't think you will get this software just for free...

  How to convert 2D to 3D in 2D to 3D converters movies?
  The KM Player supports also the 2D to 3D feature but does not support all formats... you have to pay for the full version get full support.
  Of course as large PowerDVD, but not for free.
