Flash video tips



I have responsibility for the revision of the current player flash video of base for a major media company and would like to comment.

We need to own/control the code as much as possible, and the site will have a dynamic playlist.

What flex role play video streaming?

It's better to just Flash 8? (for video)

There are major improvements in flash video? We should just stick with the technology of our current solution (similar to the link above)

How can we make it scalable and easy to maintain.

Can we contact Macromedia consultant? Or search for somone from the outside?

We integrate this in ASP.NET 2.0

What flex role play video streaming?

Nothing whatsoever. Flex is for data management and has no Centre for the audio or video stream. I guess you could use Flex to manage your playlists and other data, but you use a different technology to serve video files.

It's better to just Flash 8? (for video)

I think it makes sense to target Flashplayer 8, as the first version with the codec VP6 Om2 Traoré, I found to be far superior to the old Sorenson Spark codec in terms of band bandwidth value. To get the Flash 8 video really useless Flash 8, authoring tool. There are a lot of video conversion software out there that will generate encoded VP6 .flv

There are major improvements in flash video? We should just stick with the technology of our current solution (similar to the link above)

I guess the key improvement is the new codec. I prefer to use Flash on other technologies such as wm, mov and rm because I like to have control over the environment, in that the video is displayed.

How can we make it scalable and easy to maintain.

Depends on how you are to the video service. With Flash, you can either stream the video with Flash Media Server, or you can use progressive download (video is served via http). With progressive, move you your deployment, just as you would for any other resource Web site. With FMS, you would write your own code to string together servers, or you use the origin/Edge model in the FMS architecture (origin/edge requires a large initial investment for the license). In the end, it is fairly easy to scale an application flash video.

Can we contact Macromedia consultant? Or search for somone from the outside?

If you want to buy software, contact Adobe. If you want support, you can also contact Adobe but I wouldn't hold my breath. I've heard a lot of reports of people not getting answers for FMS related questions. I would say the best way to go is to find you a Flash developer well qualified to manage everything beyond the purchase of the required software.

  • When Shockwave Flash is activated it causes flash videos trolling

    I just got a new laptop (Acer) with Windows 10. In Firefox 42.0, all youtube videos play fine (because of HTML5, I guess), but the Flash videos trolling. I put Shockwave Flash plugin list for 'Never activate' that corrects the laggards. But now some videos on other sites are not at all because they need Shockwave Flash (they also staggered forward, for your information).

    What do you think is the problem? Of course I want to have it turned on all the time, but without any delay.

    I found the problem. It was crappy Acer CPU. During playback of Youtube videos that Firefox took the CPU to 95% most of the time and with the Flash it was even worse because of Firefox and Flash player running at the same time.

    So my problem must be fixed by buying a cell phone better. That's what I get for assume that all laptop these days can run Youtube videos.

    Thanks for the help, and I hope what I found helps other people also have this problem.

  • Click-to-play is active, but the Flash videos still play automatically

    On my old computer (Windows 7, with Firefox 32.0.3), click-to-play stop Flash video to play unless I click on the piece of lego next to the URL bar. However, on my new computer (also Windows 7, with Firefox 32.0.3), Flash videos play automatically, even if the click-to-play is enabled. The part of little lego displays next to the URL bar, but when I click it, he asks me if I want to block Flash, not if I want to activate.

  • Firefox for windows does not display absolute divs positioned on flash video

    I have a site that has a brightcove video player. About a month or two before I could separate the video of divs so that they would appear on top of the video player, using absolute positioning.

    You can see the drive here:

    lifeminute. TV/VSD/8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 34/widget300s

    In Firefox (mac), Chrome (windows), Internet explorer (windows) and Safari (mac) it always display correctly. In Firefox (windows), the video player ignores the index-Z I assign and always place the divs below, except IF I give the div floating a solid background color.

    When I assign the following styles to the div that contains the overlay, I can see the text correctly, but of course the video is blurred.

       background-color: #FFFFFF;
       height: 158px;
       position: absolute;
       top: 4px;
       width: 275px;
    

    If I remove the entire overlay background color element appears at the back of the battery behind the video again.

    Is this a bug of windows FF or am I just missing something obvious?

    Sometimes, you gotta add wmode = "transparent" attribute to the flash video code embed.

  • How can I watch and download videos like youtube flash videos if flash player can't stand not for mobile phones using the android version 4.0?

    My mobile android version is 4.1.2. At the present time, I can't watch and download videos from youtube. If flash player does not support any mobile by using the version of android more 4.0, how can I watch and download these flash videos?

    You can always download and install Flash for Android 4.0 which still works on android versions greater than 4.0, which is located on this site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html), which is the own adobe site. Look for the Flash for Android 4.0 and the latest version. Although it is not advisable to use an outdated version of flash as it is not secure.

  • Question to download Flash Video Downloader 3.7.0

    I would like to install the latest version of Flash Video Downloader 3.7.0. Tried to download directly from Firefox, downloaded an XPI (208 kb) file. Firefox is showing that the extension is installed, but I can't open this file to complete the installation. What I am doing wrong? What is a XPI file and why didn't the FVD Suite download? Thank you.

    The extensions are installed only in Firefox and should appear classified in tools > Modules > Extensions

    You should get a command prompt to install the extension if you click on the "Add to Firefox" button on the page modules.

    If you saved the extension to a folder on the computer and then drag the extension in a Firefox window or use file > open file (Firefox > new tab > open the file) to install the extension.

  • Flash video not working does not, despite all the previous solutions

    On some embedded flash video sites do not work properly. Strangely enough, youtube works very well.

    I've browsed the forum and have tried the following solutions, none doesn't seem to work:

    -Disable Realplayer (which is not installed on my computer)
    -Downgrade to Flash 11.2
    -Switch to Firefox 14

    How does it work, is to run Firefox in safe mode. This means that one of my custom extensions/add-ons gives me a hard time. Safe mode stops all my Add-ons, and obviously this isn't what I want. So I went to my list of Add-ons and the disabled one by one, trying to figure out what the troublemaker. Oddly enough, even when I disable all the manually, the problem is not resolved. So somehow safe mode stops more that I can do it manually. Does anyone have an idea how can I know what are the causes of the problem?

    Hardware acceleration is also disabled in safe mode.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration.

  • Web sites won't load does not correctly and does not flash videos

    When I visit sites like jeuxvideo.com and joystiq.com, they displayed not correctly and never loading of Flash videos. I already uninstalled and reinstalled twice for version 9.0.1 without change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to ensure that I got rid of all the registry entries and the residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? It started for me about noon yesterday...

  • I can't watch Flash videos because Firefox uses too much CPU.

    Firefox has become untenable because it uses too much CPU and disrupts the Flash videos.

    I tried to disable or change the values of the plugins. Install older versions. Nothing helps. It just sucks. Makes me want to get out the lungs of someone.

  • Dear all, I can not play the flash videos from any website through firefox because it freezes, but when I run firefox as administrator, then it works fine (but Google Chrome plays all the videos normally.). I use Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Help, pleas

    Dear all,
    Firefox crashes when I try to play flash videos from any website, but when I run firefox as administrator, it works very well. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 video parts without administrator.) I use Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Help, please.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Can not watch the program to watch DVDs and flash videos

    I have two laptops from Toshiba one problem in each.

    (* 1) * on the older Satellite (M40-276) with XP I have the following problem, I can watch Flash videos online, but I can't watch them downloaded in the computer (although the dowload is correct). I have two readers flash, QuickTime and Real Player.

    Used to work but fine * after you have reinstalled Windows * longer steps.

    (* 2) * in the new Toshiba Satellite L500D (13 H) with Windows 7, I would like to know if I can use the program to watch DVDs that allowed faster and more slowly, watch one (slow motion look at a for example), and where can I download it, this program came with the Satellite (M40-276).

    My new DVD player works fine, but I prefer the old form of program around 2005 (had a small turtle to symbolize the alternative of idle).

    Thank you!

    HELLO chocolate,

    It appears that you met with computers laptop Toshiba. You're not alone, I have also two portable Toshiba and in my opinion, they have a good quality and competent service.

    With regard to your problems:

    (1) to watch flash videos, you need of special codes or player I think. I also stocked up flash videos on my computer (.flv) and so I use VLC media player to watch them. It can play most audio and video files for all media player! :)
    Check this box!

    (2) in theory, it should be possible to use an older DVD player program, but in this case, I also recommend VLC media player.
    It s worth a try!

  • Computer lock up on flash videos.

    Recently, I rebooted my computer and have had some problems with the hard lock flash videos force me to restart. This never happened to the videos on my hard drive, only these im in streaming on youtube/justin.tv and other video sites flash online. Sometimes it will lock to the top of immiditely on the first video, other times it will happen after awhile, and sometimes it happens at all. The more I see videos more randomly it must lock up.

    I thought it might be something to do with internet explorer, so I downloaded chrome, but it does not solve the problem either.
    Another thing is it's a blocking 'slow', when this happens nothing will respond on the keyboard (caps lock, shift, ect) but my mouse cursor will still for a while, and once it happened that I was talking to friends on Skype and I could still hear talk, after a few moments Skype dropped me out of the call, and after a few more moments I heard a beep sound of my computer Tower, then my mouse cursor has stopped working - force me to restart.
    Any help would be appreciated.
