good day friends, pls creating a file for image, is it the same for mp4 videos. because I created a folder to enable hold my video to display when rendered in my website(locally). but not working.
I created a folder and save the mp4 video their and use video tag to call it from my html,but not working.
I'm having an issue with certain MP3 files in Safari only.
Here's a codepen: https://codepen.io/parliament718/pen/ExjwWEp
In chrome, both buttons work to play both files.
In safari only the first button works.
Why is this? Does safari just choke when it doesn't see a ".mp3" suffix or is it something else?
Both requests return "audio/mp3" Content-Type header.
Both files can be downloaded as mp3s and played in any audio player
Both files can be played directly through the safari address bar
But only one of the files plays programatically using WebkitAudioContext.
Failing code:
window.webkitAudioContext.decodeAudioData(request.response, ...)
Your MP3 file isn't valid. There is multi-part form garbage at the beginning of the file. If you open it with a hex editor, you'll see it:
Anywhere else that's playing this file is simply being nice to you. :-)
Also, use audio/mpeg for your Content-Type header. It doesn't matter in your case since you're using the audio context to decode the data... it doesn't know what the original Content-Type header was. I'm mention it here for others, as it's a common mistake.
I'm providing DASH, HLS, and MP4 (as a fallback) as sources to an HTML5 Video player element. I would like to log the source types that my users end up using, but I don't know where to get that information from.
What's the best way for me to get this source type? I expected to be able to at least parse the video element's currentSrc property to figure this out, but there's nothing in the value that indicates whether it's dash/hls/mp4.
So I have a youtube page open where I can watch a video.
But this video was taken down by the user. My open page still has the video, if you go to it again (refresh) the new page does not.
Since I have the video loaded in my browser tab (chrome), how can I go about finding the actual file and saving it?
In the old days of YouTube, it may have been possible to find the single video file on your harddrive and save it, but this is no longer the case. As explained in this Computerphile video, all YouTube videos are now split into tiny pieces and downloaded piece by piece.
You can observe this for yourself if you open up Chrome (or Firefox's) Dev Tools and watch the nnetwork tab. You'll see:
all of the pieces of the video loading bit by bit.
One additional thing you'll learn from the Network tab is that the videos are downloaded as octet streams, so you won't be able to find the links to the pieces hidden in the DOM.
One thing you migth try is, in the Network tab, clear the results and then move the cursor to the beginning of the video. You should see the streams come up again. Right click on the path name and then do a "save as", and save it as 0000.mp4 (or whatever), for all the pieces. You should be able to reassemble these pieces in any video editing software. I tested this by getting two pieces from a random YouTube video.
I couldn't find anything that doesn't require a restart (and hence reload) of Chrome.
One (kludgy) hack if possible, though, would be to run a screen video capture and play the video.
I have done this long back using IE6, i.e. fetch the file from the temporary files location and rename it to the extension flv.
The following links should point you in the right direction, but can't say it will work for sure, as I believe recent chrome versions seem to have a defensive cache implementation.

You might need to tweak the above for your use.
Run a screen recording/capture program such as:
Screenr
CamStudio
Then edit out the youtube bar if its visible.
The buffered video is cached at the following location:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\flaxxxx.tmp
Note you have to change to whatever user you are using, and xxxx is a random number. Also, the .tmp file might be hidden, so make sure your windows explorer is displaying the hidden files.
While the tab is open, you won't be able to copy the file, but if you close it, the file will be automatically deleted. For doing so, download HoboCopy, extract it and after that, run cmd as administrator. Change the directory on the console to the directory where you have extracted HoboCopy and type the following command:
hobocopy C:\users\<user name>\Appdata\Local\Temp C:\videos fla1234.tmp
<user name> - replace with your windows username
C:\videos - the directory where you want the video to be copied to
fla1234.tmp - the name of the file to be copied.
Wait for the copy to be done and then you can rename the destination file, changing '.tmp' to '.flv'. This file can be played with any FLV supporting media player.
i find this software to get the video from temp files folder and play it http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/video_cache_view.html
Video file is cached, therefore suggested ways can help you to save the file. But if you deal with same problems I offer using IDM(Internet Download Manager). After installation of this application for every online video stream (e.g. all flv files in youtube) IDM brings a small picture that you can click on it and downloading will be started automatically without need of any configuration.
You have to install a browser extension to download YouTube videos. You won't find a simple URL for an mp4 file in the HTML source. Try googling "youtube downloader" + your browser name.
As far as I recall, YouTube videos are not served as a continuous HTTP resource, but instead divided into small chunks and assembled client-side by the Flash player. This is why you can jump into the middle of a video, without having to buffer the first half of the video.
Generally speaking, YouTube don't want you to rip their content, so they aren't exactly making it easy for downloaders.
is it possible to play a m3u8 file using video.js on any devices?
So far, I am only able to play them on Android or IOS. Want to play them on PC as well.
This is what I am using but no luck.
Thanks for your help

From Wikipedia:
An M3U file is a plain text file that specifies the locations of one
or more media files. The file is saved with the "M3U" or "m3u"
filename extension. Each entry carries one specification. The
specification can be any one of the following:
an absolute local pathname; e.g., C:\My Music\Heavysets.mp3
a local pathname relative to the M3U file location; e.g. Heavysets.mp3
a URL.
As M3U only stores the multimedia items locations, you should parse it and play them using the proper audio/video playback lib.
Take a look at this question
EDIT: The link in the comment points to another m3u, you just should get the link to the multimedia files:
Content of first m3u:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=613798
http://tveurope1.zion3media.com:1935/demoweb1/mystream/playlist.m3u8?wowzasessionid=506379083
When you follow that link you will get a playlist like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1343
#EXTINF:11,
media_1343.ts?wowzasessionid=506379083
