FLV::ToMP3 can convert audio from a FLV file into an MP3 file.

SYNOPSIS

use FLV::ToMP3;
my $converter = FLV::ToMP3->new();
$converter->parse_flv($flv_filename);
$converter->save($mp3_filename);

See also flv2mp3.

Extracts audio data from an FLV file and constructs an MP3 file. See the flv2mp3 command-line program for a nice interface and a detailed list of caveats and limitations.

FLV::VideoTag is a flash video file data structure Perl module.

METHODS

This is a subclass of FLV::Base.

$self->parse($fileinst)

Takes a FLV::File instance and extracts an FLV video tag from the file stream. This method throws exceptions if the stream is not a valid FLV v1.0 or v1.1 file.

There is no return value.

Note: this method needs more work to extract the codec specific data.

$self->serialize()

Returns a byte string representation of the tag data. Throws an exception via croak() on error.

$self->get_info()

Returns a hash of FLV metadata. See File::Info for more details.

FLV::Tag is a flash video file data structure.

This is a subclass of FLV::Base.

$self->parse($fileinst)

Takes a FLV::File instance and extracts an FLV tag from the file stream. This method then multiplexes that tag into one of the subtypes: video, audio or meta. This method throws exceptions if the stream is not a valid FLV v1.0 or v1.1 file.

At the end, this method stores the subtag instance, which can be retrieved with get_payload().

There is no return value.

$self->get_payload()

Returns the subtag instance found by parse(). This will be instance of FLV::VideoTag, FLV::AudioTag or FLV::MetaTag.

$pkg->serialize($tag, $filehandle)
$self->serialize($tag, $filehandle)

Serializes the specified video, audio or meta tag. If that representation is not complete, this throws an exception via croak(). Returns a boolean indicating whether writing to the file handle was successful.

Yet Another MetaData Injector (yamdi) is a metadata injector for FLV files. It adds the onMetaData event to your FLV files. yamdi should run under *BSD and Linux (tested with FreeBSD, MacOSX and Ubuntu) and is published under the BSD license.
Why?
For a current project I have to add metadata to quite large FLV files (over 1GB). The other known free tools (flvmdi and flvtool2) are not suitable for that job because they read the whole file into memory. Because Im not very familiar with ruby (in order to modify flvtool2) and flvmdi is not open source I took the FLV specs and implemented a metadata injector in C. yamdi uses less memory and is faster.
Yet Another MetaData Injector for FLV injects the following metadata into your FLV files:
- creator
- metadatacreator
- hasKeyframes
- hasVideo
- hasAudio
- hasMetaData
- canSeekToEnd
- duration
- datasize
- videosize
- videocodecid
- audiosize
- audiocodecid
- audiosamplerate
- audiosamplesize
- stereo
- filesize
- lasttimestamp
- lastkeyframetimestamp
- lastkeyframelocation
- keyframes (filepositions, times)
- width
- height
- framerate
- videodatarate
- audiodatarate
Installation:
Download the source code and extract it with tar:
tar xzf yamdi-1.0.tar.gz
Change into the yamdi directory and compile the source code with:
cd yamdi-1.0
gcc yamdi.c -o yamdi -O2 -Wall
yamdi accepts four paramters:
-i The source FLV file.
-o The resulting FLV file with the metatags. If the output file is - the FLV file will be written to stdout.
-c A string that will be written into the creator tag. This parameter is optional
-h Displays a description of the available parameters
Examples:
yamdi -i sample.flv -o sample_with_metadata.flv
yamdi -i sample.flv -o - > sample_with_metadata.flv
yamdi -i sample.flv -o sample_with_metadata.flv -c "John Doe"
Enhancements:
- [Fix] Width and height calculation of ScreenVideo stream was wrong
- [Add] onLastSecond event with option -l

FlowPlayer project is a video player for Flash Video in FLV format. The UI is clean and simple.
The player is easy to configure and embed into your home page, site, or blog.
FlowPlayer.swf is a player that is ready to be used out-of-the box. FlowPlayer.html is an example of Web page that uses it. The name of the video file to be loaded by the player is specified in html page in the < object > tags flashvars attribute. This attribute is there in two places (both in < objec t> and < embed > tags) to maximize the number of supported Web browsers.
By default, the player loads the video file from the same location as it loads FlowPlayer.swf. The name of this variable is videoFile and the value should be the name of the video file with or without an extension.
There is also a way to specify a complete URL. This is done using the baseURL variable. When this mechanism is used the video files and FlowPlayer.swf may reside in different locations within the Web server or even in different servers.
autoPlay variable is used to specify whether playback should start immediately when the player has been loaded into the Web browser. Legal values for this parameter are true and false.
Please refer to FlowPlayer.html for descriptions of all HTML parameters used to control the player.
Enhancements:
- New FlowPlayer Skinning Kit to make skinning the player better than ever before.
- There is a new package in the downloads for this.
- Added all dependencies to the source distribution package and now its easier for new developers to start hacking.
- Fixes: VideoHeight does not have any effect in full screen mode any more, now resizes to fit the full area.
- Configured progress bar, buffering bar etc. colors were ignored and now work as espected.
