Not able to play video in my iPad
Hi every one,
I am developing a flex mobile application which runs video in call out. This
is running perfectly in android tabs, but when i compile my code for my iPad
i only see video player, but their is no sound and video playing. I have
tried many things to resolve my problem, but nothing helped me till now. If
any one knows about it please let me know about it, so that i can finish my
project ASAP.
I am using Flash Builder 4.7, AIR 3.9 and SDK 'Apache Flex 4.11.0 FP 11.9
AIR 3.9 en_US'
Till now i have tried in built video player, video bridge, stage web view,
and few others but, none of them were helpful in playing video in my iPad.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Finally i have resolved my problem of playing video in my iPad. This link
below helped me solving it. We have to change the compilier settings as well
as render mode also. And, i have used StageWebView to play videos.
Thank you everyone for your replies.

videoDisplay.as
<http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/file/n6021/videoDisplay.as>
Hi, i have done a line by line debugging for both android tab and for iPad.
I am attaching a videoDisplay.as file with this reply. This file is
responsible for playing videos for in-built videoPlayer in flex.
At few line number's i have marked break points.
Following are the line numbers:
to check the values of bytesTotal, currentTime, and duration
Values after debugging on android tab:
1st complete cycle: bytesTotal = 0, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
2nd complete cycle: bytesTotal = 0, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
3rd complete cycle: bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
Then, after 4-5 complete cycle values are bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime
= 0, duration = 0
Then, at 6th complete cycle: bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime = 1.402,
duration = 433.17333333333335
And, from here onwards currentTime keeps on increasing till the video
buffering is finished.
And, the video begins to display in my callout of the application.
Now, after debugging my application for iPad, i found these values:
1st complete cycle: bytesTotal = 0, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
2nd complete cycle: bytesTotal = 0, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
3rd complete cycle: bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime = 0, duration = 0
Then, after 4-5 complete cycle values are bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime
= 0, duration = 0
Then, at 6th complete cycle: bytesTotal = 31611901, currentTime = Nan,
duration = NaN
Values of currentTime and duration don't change from here onwards. And
debugging stops after 11th or 12th complete cycle, leaving a blank
videoPlayer display in callout.
Now, what can i do to get the currentTime and duration of my mp4 file, which
allows my video to play in iPad

Sorry no ideas. Other than running it through the debugger one line at a
time and see if you can catch where things fail. You already know that an
error is being thrown. See if you can find out more info about that
error.
Thanks,

I have tested my video files by directly playing on my iPad, they are playing
fine. What can i assume from it is that their might not be any encoding
issues.
Any ideas now.

Perhaps the encoding is not done properly. Can you play any other mp4

I don't see an [Embed] directive in the code you posted. So, you should
have included the resources when you packaged the ipa.
The ipa file is actually a zipped file. Open it in Winzip or 7-zip, open
the Payload > [your.app.id] directory inside it.
In your case, you should see the "assets" directory with the mp4 files
inside it.
Thanks,
Om

You can check the file size of the IPA. For testing purposes check the IPA
size now, then add another mp4 that is very huge and check the size again.

If you use [Embed], then you need to change the video.source statement to point to your embedded asset

Are you sure that the these mp4 files are copied over with the iOS app?
Can you verify if they are available?
Also, in the code snippet you posted first, you had
assets/Part1.mp4
In the debug screenshot, you have ../assets/ups3.mp4
Check your file paths to make sure they are correct.

If i use this:

then i don't get the error, as i showed in previous reply.

Yes, this again points to the possibility of the video not getting packaged
into the app. Try creating a breakpoint in the error handler and see if
you can find more info.
When creating a release package, see if the mp4 file is getting added.

It is possible that the mp4 file did not get embedded with the iOS app.
Attach a fault handler to ns and see if something shows up.

Hi,
I have used code to play video both in android tab and my iPad, with code
video plays very well in android tab and in iPad only video player is
displayed and nothing happens.
protected function init():void
{
try
{
vp.source="../assets/"+Global.selectedVideo;
}
catch(error:Error)
{
Alert.show(error.message);
}
}
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="85%" autoPlay="true" loop="true"
id="vp"/>
And, even used this code run video, with code video plays very well in
android tab and in iPad nothing happens.
videoURL = new
File(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("assets/Part1.mp4").nativePath).url;
stage.addEventListener(StageVideoAvailabilityEvent.STAGE_VIDEO_AVAILABILITY,
onStageVideo);
protected function onStageVideo(event:StageVideoAvailabilityEvent):void
{
if(event.availability == StageVideoAvailability.AVAILABLE)
{
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var obj:Object = new Object();
ns.client = obj;
obj.onMetaData = onMetaData;
var sv:StageVideo = new StageVideo();
sv.viewPort = new Rectangle(145, 220, 730, 335);
sv.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play(videoURL);
}
}
protected function onMetaData(info:Object):void
{
trace(info.width, info.height, info.duration);
}
Now, can i get to know what i am doing wrong

There are some limitations when it comes to video on iOS with Adobe AIR.
Perhaps this doc might help?
