[flexcoders] VideoDisplay - video is playing, but without audio
I use VideoDisplay to play videos in my Flex app. The videos are hosted in our local web server. The size of the video is around 10MB to 30MB. I need to play 60 to 80 videos throughout the app. The videos are playing fine, but the audio is missing after playing some videos - not reproducible all the time, but if that happens, all audio stops playing till the end of the app. What could be the issue? any idea? Thanks, Joy
Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay - video is playing, but without audio
One of our projects has suffered from a similar issue. We're streaming audio from Flash Media Server, and sometimes the audio will cut out - we still get cue points embedded in the audio, the NetStream object doesn't register any errors, and the rest of the app acts like the audio ends at the right time. We also have a recording aspect to our project, and when the audio cuts out, sometimes it will cut back in after we record something. We've really only noticed this problem when running the app on Windows 7 -- and it's more prevalent when the computer is connected via wireless. Have you noticed any similar patterns in your app? -Brian On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 10:30 PM, joyh2002 joyh2...@yahoo.com wrote: I use VideoDisplay to play videos in my Flex app. The videos are hosted in our local web server.

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay smoothing and autoPlay
Well I've followed countless examples to add smoothing to flex by
extending VideoDisplay, but for some reason setting the autoPlay to be
false doesn't change the videoDisplay autoPlay.
Anybody have any ideas?
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import mx.controls.VideoDisplay;
import mx.controls.videoClasses.VideoPlayer;
import mx.managers.IFocusManagerComponent;
public class SmoothVideo extends VideoDisplay implements
IFocusManagerComponent
{
public var smoothing:Boolean=false;
public var deblocking:int=0;
public function SmoothVideo()
{
super();
}
override public function
addChild(child:DisplayObject):DisplayObject
{
var video:VideoPlayer = VideoPlayer(child);
video.smoothing=smoothing;
video.deblocking=deblocking;
return super.addChild(child);
}
}
}
Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay smoothing and autoPlay
Ok I see in the original mx.controls.VideoDisplay it checks autoplay
and either plays or loads the video -- however why can't I override
this function?
private function autoPlaying():void
{
if (_source)
{
// Start playing or loading.
if (_autoPlay)
play();
else
load();
// Seek to playheadTime now if specified.
if (!isNaN(_playheadTime))
{
asCuePointIndexResetPending = Boolean(_playheadTime
= 0);
videoPlayer.seek(_playheadTime);
}
}
}

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay play/pause button
To make a simple play / pause button I bind the selected state of the button to the playing property of the VideoDisplay component. This works fine with progressive video, but for some reason when using streaming video the binding does not work correctly. Most of the time it does not set the selected state when the playing property changes. Anyone know why or how to fix this?

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay: why does play restart buffering after load?
I'm trying to avoid using VideoDisplay's default buffering and loading/playing videos manually. For some reason, calling load and then play sometimes makes the player start buffering again from the very beginning. I assume this is caused by one of the booleans sourceChanged or closeCalled not being reset by the load, but since they are private, I can't access them. Does anyone know a way around this? I think I'm on my fourth attempt at changing buffering because I keep hitting brick walls with the player... Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks!

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay intelligent buffering?
Are there any tricks to make the VideoDisplay's buffering work a little better? The default behavior of simply waiting a number of seconds isn't ideal because if it's a short video, this may be too long, and if it's a long video, this may be too short. If anyone has come up with a good way of handling this, I'd love some advice. Thanks!

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay over RTMP - Not possible?

First I was going to say you have to put that in a try..catch block, except accessing an invalid URL won't throw the exception in a way the try..catch can work with.

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay inconsistent behavior, it gets Stuck
Thanks for reply. It is really useful to use try catch but in my case it doesn't work, so here is my question Is it possible to check a URL is valid before even loading the file? for example i get an flv path from Web service, before setting this path as a source of Video Display component, i want to check whether the file exists or not But i don't want to load that file. When i got a confirmation that the file exists, i will pass that URL to VideoDisplay Component. So Guys is that possible or is there any other technique ?

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay over RTMP w/ autoRewind
Hi everyone, I'm having the following problem and thought I would
throw this out there to see if someone has also had it and maybe found
a solution. Even a confirmation that someone else has had it would let
me know I haven't done anything too crazy.
Anyway, I'm trying to play an FLV video over RTMP (not a live stream)
with the following code:
mx:VideoDisplay id=videoPlayer bufferTime=1
width={this.width} height={this.height - 20} x=0 y=0
autoPlay=false autoRewind=true autoBandWidthDetection=false
maintainAspectRatio=true /
I am setting the source of the video in AS, but the problem I am
having is when the stream finishes playing, it acts as though it
rewinds real quick and jumps to the end. It is as if the stream is
cached and the video display thinks it is still playing, so it jumps
to the end right after it rewinds. Maybe the RTMP server is still
sending data at the end of the stream?
Anyway, I have a YouTube similar play button overlay and controls
attached to this video display, so it ends up looking like it just
messes up at the end of the video and goes back to the end. What's
more wierd is it does it over again if you keep waiting. This only
happens with RTMP; works perfect with an FLV on the server via HTTP,
local files, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and I'll look forward to answering more questions
than I'm asking in the future,
Mike.
P.S. I'm sorry if some my messages have been coming in twice. It
appears that sending an email to flexcoders@yahoogroups.com won't post

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay bug?! How to extend to change a private variable?
Hi,
I would normally spend more time trying to work this out first, but
I'm under a bit of pressure... There appears to be a bug in the
VideoDisplay code.
vid.close() = within the videoDisplay a private variable called
closeCalled is set to true.
vid.play() = the closeCalled variable is set to be false in the play
function.
Fine, but:
vid.close() = closeCalled=true
vid.load() = loadVideo()
vid.play() = if (closeCalled==true) {loadVideo()}
So if you load in the video this variable is not reset to false. This
means that the video gets loaded twice; once when the video is loaded
and once when the video is played...
Anyway, all this is besides the point... I just want to know how to
get around this. I've tried this:
package libraries.utility
{
import mx.controls.VideoDisplay;
public class NewVideoDisplay extends VideoDisplay
{
//private var closeCalled:Boolean = false;
public function NewVideoDisplay()
{
super();
}
override public function load():void
{
super.load();
closeCalled = false;
}
}
}
but naturally I cannot access the private variable closeCalled. How
do I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay volume problem
Hi David,
the problem is based on the conditional in the VideoDisplay function
set volume...
I had to track this down and found a temporary workaround..
package com.iahh.teaser.ui
{
import mx.controls.VideoDisplay;
public class IAHHVideoDisplay extends VideoDisplay
{
public function IAHHVideoDisplay()
{
//TODO: implement function
super();
}
override public function set volume(value:Number):void
{
// change value by just a touch to trick the super class into
taking it.
super.volume = value+0.1*Math.random();
}
}
}
I created a subclass that I have tied into my mxml file using a new
namespace and just override (overrode) the volume setter. it does
the trick for me. btw, the random is needed to insure that you can
set the same value, like 0 at every new source attachment.

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay help
I'm afraid the metadata is missing in the VideoDisplay component, or better yet, they forgot (?) a piece of code in the VideoDisplay class. [Event(name=metadataReceived, type=mx.events.MetaDataEvent)] and [Bindable(metadataReceived)] You can listen to the metadataRecieved event through actionscript though, without modifying the VideoDisplay.as (which isn't a good idea anyways) videoInstance.addEventListener(metadatReceived, metadataReceivedHandler) uses: mx.events.MetadataEvent; But the MetadataEvent class does not have a static property for metadataReceived. Well it does, but's it's put under the mx_internal namespace :( mx_internal static const METADATA:String = metadataReceived; Not sure why Adobe didn't make metadata public and bindable.. regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: john [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 4:21 PM Subject: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay help do you know how can access the onMetaData, from VideoDisplay component. i use the VideoDisplay to play a stream flv file from a FVS, and i have problem with this component from Flex on buffering percent left from 100%, and with metadata :( i search for information on doc's flex, googleing on the net... but don't find a userful article or tutorial in this way: VideoDisplay + streaming file from FMS. thx
[flexcoders] VideoDisplay won't load first frame
I have a VideoDisplay component, and I've declared it's 'source' properly, I also do a myVidDisplay.load() when the component hits creationComplete. I have autoPlay disabled, you need to hit a play button to initiate the myVidDisplay.play() call... Unfortunately, the first frame of the video refuses to load and I am left with a blank screen. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian Dunphy

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay Help
Hoping someone out there will be able to help me with this. The VideoDisplay component uses a VideoPlayer object, which doesn't seem to exist in Actionscript 3. How can it be used in the VideoDisplay component, and how can I use it? I am writing an app and want to have the ability to play a flv frame by fram, or jsut to a frame and know the current frame. All of this funtionality is provided by the VideoPlayer object, but can't be used in Actionscript 3. When I finally figured out that the calss didn't actually exist anymore, I started looking for something else and came across the MovieClip object which provides all the same functionality. Problem is I can't find anyway to load an flv, I tried using Netstream and such, adding to a Video object and trying to add that to the MovieClip but can't seem to make it work. Any Suggestions?
Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay playheadTime problem
I had the same problem.I traced the videoDisplay.bytesLoaded and videoDisplay.bytesTotal.I noticed that if all the bytes had been loaded then u can forward the videofreely, other wise, the videoDisplay only forward 5or6 frames. 2006/8/9, bal_ketan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have a VideoDisplay component on my page. I need a forward functionality for the video. When i click on forward button it should go to the last frame of the video and stop there. Heres my code: myVideo.playheadTime = myVideo.totalTime; myVideo.validateNow(); myVideo.pause(); // not using stop since it will go to frame zero. When i click on forward it just goes 5 or 6 frames ahead and then pauses. If i remove the pause statement and keep clicking then it just goes on jumping 5 - 6 frames ahead and starts playing from there. Can anybody help pls. ?

Can we write to the playheadTime property of the VideoDisplay control in Flex to jump forward or backward during play mode of the .flv video?

[flexcoders] VideoDisplay Problems
I've discovered that if you load an invalid source into the VideoDisplay it will no longer work even if you change the source to a valid one later and will get the Error:1000 if you try to issue a Play() command. Might be a clue on how to work around your video problems. And of course if anyone has a way make a VideoDisplay work after it has been corupted with an invalid path I would be interested in hearing it. -Adam I am having this same problem, but I am just playing videos off my local computer. I have a listBox with several items in it. When you selct on of the items it loads a new video into my VideoDisplay component. Some times it has an error, other times it does not. I think it is a sync issue, but I am not sure how to solve it. Anyone make any progress on this issue?

Re: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay Problems
Kill it. It's possible to get corrupted MovieClips, so I'm sure if you pass garbage data into something and it can't filter it out, your best bet is to make a new one. Try using a catch for the 1k error, and if so, remove it from the display list, remove it's listeners, and delete the mofo. Then, create a new one. - Original Message - From: alpharythms [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 6:18 PM Subject: [flexcoders] VideoDisplay Problems I've discovered that if you load an invalid source into the VideoDisplay it will no longer work even if you change the source to a valid one later and will get the Error:1000 if you try to issue a Play() command.
