On our site, people record audio live then it's saved to our VPS with Red5 as an flv. For some reason, the saved audio files have a .meta extension and there doesn't seem to be an audio file generated that's just .flv without the .meta extension.
Our previous server did it fine but it doesn't seem to work on the new one. Our hosting company can't help.
Question: how to remove the .meta extension?
THank you!!!
The meta is generated whenever someone streams the file for the first time. If these files do not exist there is a delay in playback while it is generated. If you do not want these files you will need to override the media reader class to prevent them from being used or created. For an flv this class is org.red5.io.flv.impl.FLVReader.

I keep getting the error: "processing abandoned, this video could not be processed" whenever I try to upload a 107 minute video of an audio recording (just myself rambling thoughts into a microphone the entire time, just a black screen for video). The original audio file is .m4a, and I am trying to convert it into a video file to upload to YouTube. I have tried all the methods that I could find mentioned online, and every time I still get the exact same error. I have tried:
converting from .m4a to .mp4 using VLC and uploading the .mp4
converting from .m4a to .MOV using VLC and uploading the .MOV
converting from .m4a to .mp4 using various online conversion tools and uploading the .mp4
converting from .m4a to .MOV using various online conversion tools and uploading the .MOV
converting from .m4a to .mp3 using various online conversion tools, then converting from .mp3 to both .mp4 and .MOV and uploading the .mp4 and .MOV
verifying my youtube account and enabling the verification feature eligibility settings in the youtube creator studio to allow uploads longer than 15 minutes
re-uploading the same file after the processing failed to try and restart the process
trying different browsers
I also tried exporting the video file again using the default video editor on Windows (the only video editor I have), but I couldn't upload either the audio file (not an option to choose as an import file type) or the video files I created (gave error: "these files have properties that can't be read". I don't know why this error came up either, but maybe it's because the file is corrupted? This wouldn't make sense to me though because I'm able to play it fine (all file types) in the windows default player, VLC, and Audacity. I was able to convert the audio into the video files in VLC too, so I don't know why I can't do the same in the windows default editor.
I realize that similar questions have been asked before on here, but none actually give a solution that works for my problem. Any insight into why I may be having this problem, and how I may be able to solve it, would be very much appreciated.
Youtube doesn't allow audio-only uploads. They expect you to have some sort of video content (which is why you'll see album art on music-only uploads). You'll need some sort of video content. Shotcut is a free video editor that may help you out. Or if you're willing to use the command line ffmpeg can help you out
We're working with a client that is required to post audio of meeting minutes. Their current method of storing these audio files is Google Drive and they would prefer not to change that. As it stands, the site has links to the audio file on Google Drive which sends you to Google Drive and asks you to download the file. This is very inefficient. Does anyone know of a way to link to or stream a file hosted on Google Drive to make it more seamless or user friendly?
They are currently using WMA files, but if need be, we can request that they use MP3 or WAV. The link below will give you an idea what we're looking to improve.
Thanks in advance.

I am building an app for iphone and i need to record audio, the docs seem to be missing .3gp format for AVAudioRecorder. Please I need an answer.
Thanks in advance!
Hey #vincent for recording audio and saving them you have checkout these question, they have most of the details required for audio recording and stuff like that.
iPhone: how to download media files and save them on device
iPhone SDK:Saving a streamed audio file to Documents folder
I'm looking for an audio player (like jplayer) which can be embedded in a HTML page which will allow MP3's to be played but not downloaded.
The problem: Flash players request the audio file from the server so the URL of the MP3 is present in the HTML source and can be copy/pasted in to the address bar to download the track. This will inherently be the problem with most players.
Possible solution: The player accepts some "encrypted" (non-playable) format which is then decoded inside the player. Anything like this exist?
I am not looking for solutions which sound like:
Obfuscating the URL of the MP3
Preventing downloading of the MP3 from third party sites (eg. forums) using .htaccess
Embedding the mp3 inside a flash movie unless this can be automated, since mp3's are uploaded on a regular basis.
Having a URL which only works for a certain period of time
I don't know if this answers your question, but... Have you tried streaming your audio files via flash? I have never heard of someone being able to download a file which was dynamicly called through actionscript... but maybe i just don't know what i am talking about...
Play Apple's .caf audio file on a webserver? I have .caf audio files (Apple's open audio format) stored on my webserver and want to play them from a web browser on any O/S.
I understand, this doesn't seem like the solution you're looking for, but...
Several weeks ago we faced the same problem. We have several clients which are posting audio files to the web site from theirs iPhones, and we need to play audios on the web site.
But we didn't find any suitable flash player with .caf format support.
So we decided to convert .caf to .mp3 on the server through the ffmpeg.exe utility.
Happily, there a lot of flash players with .mp3 support.
Now I have not tried this... but...

Seems to suggest that .CAF and .AIF may work interchangeably (It suggests that to convert to .CAF you convert to .AIF` and then rename the file).
Have you tried renaming it to .AIF and trying to play in a flash/java browser player? Alternatively just send it as a stream to the web-browser and let the client OS work out what to do with it (Like quicktime running inside the browser).
Let me know how it goes.
