Bookmark time stamp video player for Android - bookmarks

I want to make an Android app that will let me bookmark a video file by time stamp
example bookmark1 00:00:00 = bookmarkname else if bookmark2 = 00:20:01 = bookmarkname2
I also want this video player app to support gestures, no audio needed only video.
If anyone can help me with the code on this or know if there is an app that already can do this please let me know.
also a video player for android that can recognize chapter markers embedded in a m4v file
might do the trick
Thank you all for your help.

I think I can help. I utilize "mvideoplayer", and have created many bookmark files.
FYI--the chapter markers in m4v are not embedded. They are actually in a text file separate from the video file. These text files contain time markers (with "titles" indicating what is located at those particular time locations).
Also, since you need video only (no audio), do you happen to need this for sign language videos?

Youtube embed display at one time start at beginning

I am trying to embed a youtube video in my wordpress site and I would like to start it at the beginning but display it at another point for visuals, is this possible? I have looked online and in the youtube api with no luck..hoping Im missing it.
Thanks for any help.
You can always embed the visual and then allow the video to play with the click through from the beginning. You can get the visual to be a pretty high dpi as well so the quality remains in tact.
Youtube only generates a few snapshots (around 1-3 snap images), there is no specific way to get an image at X point of time. It will be either a few seconds from the start, the middle and 1 other spot.
If you need to get the other format of the thumbnails, perhaps this can help

Play video from an intermediate point

I am in the middle of an application that has a module to play videos from a directory on the same web-server. Everything is fine, except for the point that, while video is streaming, if I try to drag the player tip to an intermediate point, it either drags back to where it was(in flex player) or keeps loading un-till the video actually approaches that point(in case of jw-player or html5 player) or does nothing(in some other online players available). My client wants to be able to play or start buffering from any desirable point. I read something about RTMP to be used for such thing, but wasnt able to find a direct guide over how to do it.
Help appreciated!
If you're talking about being able to load a video file from x seconds in to the video, you should look into http pseudo-streaming. Here's a link to the jwplayer page about it: jwplayer pseudo-streaming

Adobe Livecycle ES3 saving issue - file keeps getting larger

I have been working on a form in Adobe Livecycle ES3.
I started with a file that was approx. 1 MB in size.
I realized that every time I saved the file it got larger by approx. 1-2 MB.
This happens even if I just save the file as a new name without doing any editing.
I ended up with a 45 MB file size and I really did not change that much to the form design.
I am new to this program, and cannot find anything online to explain this behavior.
I am thinking that the program is saving some kind of history buffer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit to Answer Questions asked below:
1) The form is stored locally
2) The only option is to save as a PDF. The form is based off of a PDF imported document.
3) Can I change to XDP when it is imported background artwork?
4) The XML does not appear to be doubling up info.
I found an article yesterday that talks about the file size growing each time you save it with Livecycle. The adobe guy seemed to say that it was life and that there was nothing you could do about it. Seems a little weird to me. I don't know if I have really given you anything new here. I am very frustrated with it.
Thanks

To start off, I need to ask you if your form is stored locally on your machine or are you editing a copy of the form saved on the LiveCycle server itself ?
If your form resides on the server, download a copy of the form on your machine and try your tests on it to see if the file size increases every time you save it on your machine. Do let me know how your tests go in this scenario.
If you are working on a form design on your machine, are you saving your form as a PDF or an XDP ?
If you are saving your form as a PDF, save it as an XDP.
If you are saving your form as an XDP, open it up in either the XML editor in LiveCycle designer or just use a text editor to view its contents.
I have seen issues in the past where (and its a bug btw) LiveCycle Designer repeats the same design time XML tags mulin the form. If this is the case in your form, you can simply do a find and replace to remove them.
Hope this helps. Please let me know how your tests go and if you have any more questions about LiveCycle.
Thanks,
Armaghan.
I have seen this issue quite often, in fact today I had a file which jumped from 1.5mb to 188mb.
Having gone through the Adobe site it appears that there is no definite reason for it, but it appears to happen more when you embed fragments into the form or are using a lot of tables.
Anyway the quickest fix is to go into the XML view and search for 'aped' This will usually find a line with something like:
Simply do a find/replace on the full line (leave the replace with blank).
Do this for:
Once complete go back into design view and save it. You should see the file size decrease.
I experienced the same issue. I found a way around it, but you need to have a copy of the original file.
1. From the bloated file, copy the XML from the XML Source window in LiveCycle Designer.
2. Open the original PDF in LiveCycle Designer.
3. Replace the XML in the XML Source window with the XML on the clipboard.
4. Save.

JW player. on click getting a window asking open or save file

I have two applications that play video. in one of them the JWplayer plays the video as it should , and on load, the video plays by itself.Thats what i need exactly
I'm doing the same process with the second application, but the thing is when it loads the player , first of all i cant see the control bar, second it doesnt play the video. and third when i click the play button. it opens a dialog asking me if i want to open or save the file, but this isnt what i need.all i need is to play the video like in the first application.
Why is it behaving like this ?
thanks all
One more thing, the second application is on a machine that hasnt a media player,
does this have any effect on the player.swf ??? I can see the player and the play button thou. but just wondering ...
Check whether your iis has the mime type of the video file you are trying to play.
If not add it as follows,
File extension: .mp4
Mime Type: video/mp4
After that restart iis and browse the site again...
Note: Search for the exact mime type for the file
Hope this will help you...

How does YouTube prevent video content from being saved/redistributed?

Sure, you can embed a YouTube video on any site, but the content ultimately must come from their server. What technology(ies) do they have that prevents us from saving/redistributing content?
From a protocol standpoint, you would think that anything that comes over the wire could be saved. I hope I am not the only guy on Earth who does not know how to "save" a YouTube video...
There are a couple of plugins for Firefox out there that let you save the content. Basically it parses the sourcecode and looks for the videofile (either .flv or .mp4) and downloads that directly. The flash player on the page just plays the supplied file. They could of course obfuscate the path to the video file, but that can be reverse engineered as well. They can't really do anything about it, because the video file has to be on the user's computer at some point, or if not, the stream could be intercepted as well.
eg. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/6584/?src=api
Mostly it's a legal deterrent rather than technical. There are a plethora of programs out there that will allow you to download their video. But there are two things they do that help reduce unauthorized downloads:
Use is flash to control the download and playback.
Hosting video yourself is not cheap, and thus it's much easier to simply leave the video on youtube.
They don't do anything about it. Very likely your Flash viewer downloads a copy and puts in somewhere on your harddrive (under my Linux system with Firefox and Adobe Flash in /tmp). After you are done viewing the file is removed to save disk space, but since it is on your harddrive nothing prevents you from making a copy elsewhere.
You might want to look at the 'analogue hole', in the end, data still has to be displayed on your screen, or get through your speakers and what not. It's always theoretically possible to intercept it at that point, or even just record your audio-out into another machine.
So as far as the analogue hole goes, the only solution is to skip that, in this form:

Which is not that marketable.
