I have created a webm video file with transparency with ffmpeg out of a series of png files. Then I add the audio track again in ffmpeg (I have tried both the opus and vorbis codecs). When I play it in the Movies & TV app it plays just fine (audio and video). In windows media player only the video plays. In html (inside a video tag) the video will play if it is set to 'muted' but if it is not muted it doesn't play.
I am not sure what is going on. Does anyone have any insights. Do I need to run the audio from a seperate file?
Thanks, Kate
I need to get a link of a FLV verion of a youtube video so I can play it in mobile, using Adobe Air (VideoTexture).
I'm currently using this library: https://github.com/myflashlab/AS3-youtube-parser-video-link
Which works, the only problem is that the only FLV version of the video I get has a 426x240 resolution, which is not acceptable. MP4 does have a 720p version but it's not displaying on iOS.
If anyone knows how to ask for/obtain the correct link to a FLV youtube video, would be great.
I've got a mp4 file with one video track and several sound tracks. When i try to open the file in in HTML5 it only play's audio track one. Is it a way to override the the web player to play all sound tracks at once?
I read that the HTML5 video tag can't stream video...
By streaming i mean the possibility to download a video only from the middle of it and not from the beginning.
Apparently you can set the currentTime to the middle but in the background it will download all the movie.
On the other hand YouTube's HTML5 player seems to stream just fine.
What is it that I am missing?
Thanks...
i am playing mp3 file in my web with google player :
http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf
and i can't playing m4a files with this player too.
there is any way to play m4a files with this player too? or there is another player to play m4a files in my browser?
this is how i am using the player:
<embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" flashvars=\"audioUrl=songUrl&autoPlay=true\" src=\"http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf\" width=\"400\" height=\"27\" quality=\"best\"></embed>
According to this, this is a bit of a complex issue: Flash (the technology your audio player, and most others on the web currently, is based on) is able to play MPEG-4 content, but only when declaring the content video, not audio. Why this is, I have no idea.
You may be able to play M4A sound files if you can find a Flash video player that suits your needs. Alternatively, consider using HTML 5 Audio.
Update: jPlayer, a jQuery/Flash/HTML5-Based audio player, claims to be able to play MPEG-4 Audio content. You should be able to use that.
