  • 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:

  • For HP2000 2b19wm DVD player does not play smoothly

    I have a 2000 2-month old laptop 2b19wm, it was bought mainly for my husband to watch DVDs while he is on the road.  It does not play smoothly the DVD, audio and video are not synchronized correctly.  I tried to play new DVDs that have never been played on any system, so they are certainly not dirty.  The reader is not bad either.  It is definitely a hardware problem or a driver.  Any suggestions?

    Could be something to do with the playback software. What software do you use (or your husband)? Please try the following software:

  • Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

    You have problems with programs:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker
    -Windows Media Player

    Error messages:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
    -Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    Recent changes to your problem:
    None

    What have you tried to solve the problem:
    Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

    Format of the file:
    MP4

    You have problems with programs:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker
    -Windows Media Player

    Error messages:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)
    -Windows Media Player: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

    Recent changes to your problem:
    None

    What have you tried to solve the problem:
    Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

    Format of the file:
    MP4

    =============================================
    The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
    It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
    an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

    So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

    If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
    import into Movie Maker.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
    (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
    Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

    First... after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    For information on playback of MP4 files... the following article may be worth a visit:

  • Windows Media Player does not play the Audio CD in Windows XP.

    Original title: Media Player 11

    Out of the blue, my media player has stopped working. I don't think I did something for him, but he started playing an audio CD. I have no error message, it will not play. I have another media player on my computer, which didn't interfere with Media Player 11, but I get an error message that says that it cannot open "" MRL CDSG: / / / D: / ".

    Hello

    1. are you able to play the songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    2. is the specific question on a CD?

    3. What are the types of audio file that do not play?

    Method 1: As happens with another player more, it might be that particular CD is corrupt.

    Try again with another CD and see if that plays.

     

    Method 2: Although most CD using the file system ISO 9660 CD Windows XP can read CD created by other operating systems may use filesystems not supported. The most obvious example is the Mac CD using the HFS file system.

  • Media Player does not play the .m4a file

    I just want to know why my player will not play a file. The file says it's a media player .m4a... I tried to download a recent version of the player, but he said that I had a newer version of it and it wouldn't download. So if I have a new or updated version of the player, why used it play the file?

    Windows Media Player uses the codecs to understand file formats. A codec is software that includes a particular file format. You will need to install a codec.

    If you click Help on the Web in the dialog box it would have been explained to you.

    Also if you let Windows search for the appropriate program when dbl clicking the file it'll tell you what it is and what it can play.

  • Windows Media Player does not play the full song - Y470

    Hello, I am having some problems with Windows Media Player, and I don't know how to fix it. The behavior that I meet is that WIMP would begin to play a song (from the library or a CD) and after playing a few seconds of the second OMP would jump to the next song. There is no consistency on the number of seconds that play before WIMP past to the next song. I can't find any option in the menu options that would cause this to happen.

    This started happening when I opened first WIMP. It's really strange. No idea what might happen? I would use another player, but I don't want to go through the hassle than other players (though very good) to provide compatibility with the synchronization with the mobile devices, playlists, etc... So I am forced to use WIMP. I need this problem well.

    It seems to happen with all players and all my music files. I can play the music files on my desk very well.

    Thank you

    Hi Keith and Sue,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    Leave your post, looks like you have question extraction and to and from iTunes CD burning. If this is correct, I suggest reading on the following articles for more information on how to resolve these processes.

    If you have trouble importing songs to an audio CD

    If iTunes does not recognize audio CD or if you have problems to import songs, check the following:

    • If error correction is enabled, it may take longer to import CDs. Choose iTunes > Preferences, and then click Import settings. If the checkbox "Use error correction when reading Audio CDs" is not selected, select it. If it is already selected, clear it.

    • If you have more than one CD or DVD drive, try using iTunes with each drive.

    • If it takes a long time to import a song (more than 10 minutes) from an audio CD, the CD may be dirty or scratched. Try to clean the CD with a soft, lint cloth and then re-import the songs.

    If you still hurt to import songs, visit the Support Web to iTunes site.
