Vimeo player custom controls - vimeo

I´m using froogaloop to work with Vimeo in order to use it in my sites. My problem here is that I´d like to customize the player as you can see here in the "Customize to your taste" part -> http://vimeo.com/player
The last point is a simplified control interface that I would like to use, but I´m not capable to do it. These are the parameters that we seem to be able to tweak -> http://developer.vimeo.com/player/embedding#universal-parameters
Any idea about how to work with these features?
Thanks!

Plus and PRO members can choose to customize their embeds (https://vimeo.com/s/tce). Those options are not available as embed code parameters.

WinRT barcode scanner component

I have a Windows Store (Metro) application. I need to add support for scanning barcodes.
I tried using ZXing first. From what I was able to get working, you actually need to click and save an image for it to do the processing. There's no nice overlay of a red line "scanner" nor does it process a live feed. This isn't a very elegant solution. It works far better on Android. Basically, this won't work as I need a constant video and a constant search for a barcode to be in focus.
This blog (http://www.soulier.ch/?p=1275&lang=en) mentions that extrapolating a frame out of a WinRT video stream is not allowed in managed code which means I'd need to use C++.
So, are there any components out there that do this? Anything free or paid that I can get that would be written in C++ and can find and extrapolate a barcode? Learning C++ is not on my bucket list.
You can capture frames while displaying a preview with C# only. Here's an example control that does it:
https://winrtxamltoolkit.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#WinRTXamlToolkit/Controls/CameraCaptureControl/CameraCaptureControl.cs
Basically you need to create a MediaCapture object and associate it with a CaptureElement control to display the preview. Then you can use CapturePhotoToStreamAsync() to capture a frame to a stream of your selected encoding format and then have a go at it with your bar code reading code.
I made a lib for WinRT using ZXing & Imaging SDK.
It works well (but does not include any additional focus feature).
There is a lib and a sample app that you can try.
It works for barcodes and QRCode (barcode by default but just change the optional parameter in the scan function code to use QRCode)

As3 Google DoubleClick Video

I'm very frustrated with Google DoubleClick's AS3 documentation. I'm not an advanced ActionScript coder and I have limited experience with streaming video, but I feel like their API is omitting a lot of information about how these classes actually work.
I'm attempting to load an FLV to play in an expanded unit. Their video component API shows how to control playback of a video, but it doesn't say anything about how to actually load an flv file through code into the component.
http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/docs/sdk/flash/as3/en/com_google_ads_studio_video_VideoPlayer.html
I found a controller API, but I have no idea how a "controller" works, or what it is, and the API doesn't explain anything outside of vague general information. I assume the controller needs to be somehow associated with the video player component, but there's nothing anywhere on Google that explains this in any form.
http://www.google.com/doubleclick/studio/docs/sdk/flash/as3/en/com_google_ads_studio_video_VideoController.html
So, in conclusion, what I want is simple. I want to programically load an flv file into a video component on the stage, and have it play. I feel like this is a simple thing to do. I can do this with netstream objects and regular means, but Google has explained nothing in it's API on how to achieve this in studio rich media, and I have no idea how the inner workings of it's components function. Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?
For using video in Studio, you use either the basic or advanced video player component, and component inspector to specify your video, then upload all your assets.
You can literally browse through hundreds of templates, including filtering for features like video, and choose one that best fits your needs along with documentaion here.

Add annotations to a web video

I would like to implement a web application where you can upload a video (e.g. in mp4 format) and add custom messages to it or tag specific frames. I need to be able to determine the location, size and duration of the balloon containing the text. The interface should be easy enough to use and allow you to add a simple text or a link.
How could I implement this? Is there a platform I could use? Looking around I found this platform called WireWax which basically does everything I need, however there is no pricing section and I suspect that you have to contact them directly.
Another interesting product that I found is Popcorn.js which allows you to add annotations to videos, but I would have to create from scratch the interface to add messages.
Do you have any advice?
Popcorn.js does indeed have an interface. It's called Popcorn Maker, and it's here:
https://popcorn.webmaker.org/
It's open source, so you can modify it however you like. The source is here: https://github.com/mozilla/butter

How to get value in html

The game is in flash.
Link: http://www.miniclip.com/games/bounzy-2/pt/
I need get the value, exactly, the "Score".
This is posible?
You could modify the flash game to communicate with javascript on the page, I believe.
Yes you will need to be able to modify the code of the game itself if you have access to it. It won't be able to show the scores on the page through a simple src= unless miniclip has an API that supports page interaction.

How do you make an embedded flash player open the little window telling them to update it?

The flash player has a little window that can be opened (similar to flash->settings) telling the user to update the player if the movie loaded is for a more recent version. How can you instruct the player to do this? ITV have managed it with their catchup-tv player.
Context: I am allowing users to copy flash into their PowerPoint presentations and would like to tell them to update their flash player if necessary. I am not embedding a web page in the power point so no JS can be run for checking etc (because I know this is not necessary).
Thanks in advance
For getting the current version of flash:
var version:String = Capabilities.version;
I don't know what ITV has done, but I don't know of any way of forcing the player to show that box, although it may do it automatically.
EDIT:
I just found a complete blog post that answers this.
There is no way to force the window to open itself. It's a user defined setting:
Have a look at the Security class. I have used it in some Flash to prompt users to increase storage limits. The panels that you can show are found in SecurityPanel. However, this may not be the way to prompt for outdated Flash version. (If you are looking to customize these panels, that is off limits.)
You can actually test the browser/Flash version in Javascript, so there really is no point in loading Flash to tell the user to upgrade Flash.
