Facebook Live Stream plugin: Always Post To Friends Bug

November 5th, 2010 • work
Tags: bug, facebook, livestream

Tried to add the live stream plugin to support our live events when noticed that even though the always_post_to_friends=true was set correctly, NOTHING had been posted to my wall when made a comment. So I turned it off and the Post To Friends checkbox was still turned on and the wall posting started to work.

This is definitely a bug, and it can be easily reproduced on the
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/live-stream page as well.

Live Event: Panoramic 360 HD Stream

Megasztár recorded 360 Live stream

Finally the system has been established and gone live. On the biggest live talent show in Hungary, we were able to create a panoramic streaming hardware setup, a multi frontend HD streaming solution using Adobe Flash Media Server’s RTMP protocol - must note that the livepackaging feature that creates f4f is not working because of System.Security issues, I will talk about that later - serving about 5000 users at once. The player is developed by me in pure as3 using Parsley and OSMF to be discussed later.

Silverlight 4 : Unable to load the metadata for assembly error in Visual Studio 2010

When I was trying to drag & drop my newly created custom silverlight user control in Visual Studio 2010, the compliler displayed the error:

Unable to load the metadata for assembly ‘JavaOSGiWS’. This assembly may have been downloaded from the web. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=179545. The following error was encountered during load: Could not load file or assembly ‘JavaOSGiWS’ or one of its dependencies. A rendszer nem találja a megadott fájlt.

Where the JavaOSGiWS was the actual project namespace root. I had no reference nor any help on how to resolve this issue, since everything was just set up fine. However the last sentence means: “The system cannot find the specified file” led to a not trivial solution. The entire path of the current project folder contained a #. Having this character removed from the path helped the builder resulted the error message disappear.

hope this would spare some time for you.

PV3D: VideoStreamMaterial

January 10th, 2009 • flex, work
Tags: as3, flex, papervision, videoplayer

In Papervision 3D Papervision3D_rev851 package, when trying to loop the finished stream, the NetStatusEvent handler in the VideoStreamMaterial class: onStreamStatus does not set the NetStream.Seek.Notify status as animated = true. This results the stop of updating the material for the video.

Corrected code below, you may override this function until the fix is included in a newer distribution.

private function onStreamStatus ( event:NetStatusEvent ):void
{
 
	switch ( event.info.code )
	{
		case "NetStream.Play.Start":
			animated = true;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Unpause.Notify":
			animated = true;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Play.Failed":
			animated = false;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Play.Stop":
			animated = false;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
			animated = false;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Pause.Notify":
			animated = false;
			break;
		case "NetStream.Seek.Notify":
			animated = true;
			break;
	}
}

New VideoDisplay Component?

Tags: flex, panorama, smooth, video, videodisplay, videoplayer

Back in October, I have been working on a Flash/Flex project that involved a videoplayer programming task. I used the the Flex VideoDisplay as the base component of the player, and some other classes in code behind to handle events and the interface created in mxml. Even though its a highly customizeable component, its pretty hard to access many of its properties. Read more »
