Red5 demo simpleBroadcast cannot work: Adobe Flash Player does not go through "allow" - red5

I am testing Red5 demo simpleBroadcast
Click "Connect" Button, pops up a window:
Adobe Flash Player Settings
Camera and Microphone Access localhost is requesting access to your camera and microphone. If you click Allow, you may be recorded.
two buttons: Allow, Deny.
But if I click Allow button, nothing happened. Actually it seems this small popped winodw does not work.
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Adobe flash player: package: flashplugin-installer, 11.2.202.394ubuntu0.12.04.1

It is a bug present in Flash Player and not fixed by Adobe since years.
As a workaround you could instruct the users of your site to visit the Website Privacy Settings panel and Always allow your site:
Then the problematic window won't pop up anymore.

iOS 11 Public beta 5 getUserMedia not working

I'm trying to experiment with the getUserMedia API that should be enabled in the ios11 beta as this questions seems to suggest: question
I'm trying to setup the same on my iPad with the latest public beta (5) but I can't get it to work. The error I get is:
NotAllowedError (DOM Exception 35): The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.
A popup that asked for permission never appears so I didn't deny this, I don't know what is going wrong. I tried enabling/disabling the experimental feature 'Remove Legacy WebRTC API' in the browser settings, but this has no effect either.
Do I need the developer beta to access this feature?
Thanks!
getUserMedia requires HTTPS unless you use the "allow media capture on insecure sites" shown in the first screenshot of this webkit blog post
You must be getting this error on Safari. iOS11 stops autoplay audio and Chrome will do the same in January, 2018.
How to enable autoplay on Safari?
- Go to Safari > Preferences > Auto-Play
- Instead of "Stop Media with Sound", pick "Allow all Auto-Play" option for your website and try again. The error will not pop-up on your machine.
How to permanently enable autoplay on Safari?
- Handle the case with a script and inform your user to allow your website
- Or change your interface.

Password-Protected Video in cPanel site won't play in Safari

Summary. I administer a website, for which I pay a small monthly fee to have hosted on a shared server. It has cPanel. When I upload a video which is longer than a few seconds, and password-protect it, and try to view it in Safari as a user would, it asks for the credential, but then won't play. If I try the same thing in Firefox, it works, and then it works in Safari for a day or so, without entering anything. What might be going on here?
Steps to reproduce
• Using cPanel's File Manager, create a new directory on my site.
• In cPanel, password-protect the new directory, composing a username and password.
• Using the FTP client on my computer, upload a 4-minute .mov Quicktime movie file to this new directory.
• On my computer running Mac OS X 10.9, activate Safari 7.0 and browse to the uploaded .mov file. A sheet and/or a freestanding dialog window appears asking for Username and password.
• Enter the User name and password, once or twice.
RESULT: A Quicktime Player appears, but showing the scrubber and control strip only, no video box. It says "Loading", and hangs there forever. Clicking the ► "play" button has no effect.
• On same Macintosh, activate Firefox (Aurora version 27) and browse to the same .mov file. Again, sheet appears asking for username and password.
• Enter username and password.
RESULT: Movie plays in Firefox.
• Reload page in Safari.
RESULT: Movie plays in Safari now, without entering anything.
Further Info
This seems to work until maybe the next day. If I try to reload the page the next day, it won't play until I enter username and password into Firefox again. This is apparently not related to my IP address, because whatsmyip.org is giving me the same number today as yesterday. Also, I just tried it in Safari on my iPad Mini, entered username and password, and it worked. But we're on the same LAN with the same gateway IP address.
Here is a link to the protected movie, which I have uploaded for testing. (It's a rip of the first 4 minutes of Apple's October 13 event.)
To test it, you'll need:    Username: test      Password: test13579
The finger most likely points at Safari, but before I give up and file a bug with Apple, can anyone take a stab at what might be going on or how to work around it?
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
P.S. Why I want this: I support some Mac OS X apps, and sometimes people send me their private data in a support request. I'd like to be able to make a quick video, showing them what to do with their data, and then create a protected folder for them on my server, upload the video, and send them the username and password. I know there are alternative services which can do this, but to do it on my own cPanel site is quick, convenient for both of us, and of course, no additional cost or accounts to fuss with.
I did some more testing on the un-embedded video.
In Mac OS X, it plays OK in Firefox and Google Chrome, but not in Safari. In iOS 7, it plays OK in Safari, but not in Google Chrome and not in Foxbrowser.
How did they manage that?
But it doesn't matter because I have a workaround. Embed the video into a professionally-crafted HTML page.

Air for iOS config panel closes when I click another tab on Flash CS6 on Windows

Whenever I try to edit configuration in Air (desktop, android or iOS) and I click in another tab, Flash loses focus and the config windows closes. I have googled for anything similiar but I haven't found anything.
Does anybody knows if this is a known issue, or if there is another way to add icons, certificates and permissions in Flash CS6.
Thanks everybody!

autorun.inf doesn't work?

So I have an autorun.inf file that looks like this:
[AutoRun]
open=Server.exe
icon=Logo.ico
label=XXXXXX
action=Install Server
It gets the Icon and Label correctly, but it does not add "Server.exe" and it's text to the autoplay USB dialog...
Server.exe is top-level.
Any clues why that would be? Thanks!
What do you mean by "it's text"? Maybe you can try starting from a working configuration that does what you want. For example, I burned an Ubuntu 10 ISO to a thumbdrive:
[autorun]
open=wubi.exe --cdmenu
icon=wubi.exe,0
label=Install Ubuntu
[Content]
MusicFiles=false
PictureFiles=false
VideoFiles=false
This shows an icon and displays the text "Run wubi.exe" with "Publisher not specified" underneath it in W7. In XP, it immediately launches wubi.exe without an autoplay prompt. If you can't repro the above, maybe your system settings have drifted from the default. Wikipedia has a pretty great article on the subject which even includes the differences between OS versions and which directives are valid for which mediums (CDs, USB drives, etc).
Autoplay from USB device is switched off by default in Windows 7. You need to configure the policy. here are the steps:
Click Start and in the Search box, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
Now browse to Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\
Windows Components\ Autoplay Policies\ Turn off Autoplay.
Change the value of Turn off Autoplay to disabled.
Autoplay from USB should work fine. For more information, read :

ios: How to display "choose wireless connection" popup?

If there is no internet connection and you start for example the safari app with Ipad or Iphone, a popup appears saying: "Choose wireless network"
Is there a way to force this popup to show up in my app when I want to?
The problem is, I have a button in my app which connects the user to facebook. After pressing the button the safari browser opens and shows the facebook authorization page. If there is no internet connection this popup appears, but there is no way to turn back to the app from there. So currently I check internet connection before allowing this authorization page to appear, but I also want to show this popup.
It will show up automatically if your app tries to access internet-based resource and there's no wifi connection established but there is a wifi access point nearby.
This dialog appears automatically if you have "Application uses Wi-Fi" set to YES in your ...-Info.plist and if there is no connection.
This is not possible. The pop-up you have seen before is in Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Ask to Join Networks -> ON/OFF
Setting this to ON allows the OS to prompt the user to join a Wi-Fi network if it finds any in reach and you are not currently connected to one.
Apps cannot show this prompt, it's a system-level prompt.
