View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes. I'm looking to stream a live webcam on my website and have no idea where to start. I've been searching for a while and various things refer to Flash Media Server but this is costly and, as I will be streaming from University, it will probably be blocked on the network or take up too much bandwidth.
Does anyone know of a way to stream a webcam, without FMS or Quicktime Broadcaster etc.? Any free websites that provide this service could be possible, so long as the stream isn't available to anyone outside my website.
I don't have my own Flash Media Server. I can however use the Highwinds CDN. They run FMS on their CDN. When you schedule a live event, Highwinds gives you two urls: the "server" and "stream name". Examples:

ok so I have the webcam in my flash movie,so you see your cam in the frame..but i was wondering if there was a code to pause the stream so you can a 'snapshot' without having to save anywhere or anything too complicated.. just literally pausing then un-pausing

View 1 RepliesI have a webcam looking out the window, and I would like to be able to access it from time to time via website.
I have never touched flash, but I know some programming languages.
I know I want to use Flash, but I have no idea where to start, and I thought this might be a good place to ask.
Does anyone know anything about recording webcam streams and storing them using FMS? I'm looking into capturing the stream as an FLV that can then be stored on the server so it can be played back.If anyone has any ideas on hwo to go about this or knows of any good reading material, let me know.

View 1 RepliesI'm recording a stream from a webcam as an f4v file using FMS 3.5. The file is created in the live folder, and i can stream it back to the client no problem, however when I try to play the file in Adobe Media Player (or anything else) it won't play. I've used the f4v post processor which claims to run successfully, but with no joy.
View 5 Repliesgoal is to record a stream from a webcam with the best possible quality regardless the bandwith of the user.(it doesn't have to be live or broadcast, just stored on the server)
is it best to record from server side with asc script or directly from the flash player ?what are the parameters on the server that i can play with in order to cache locally the stream if the bandwith is not high enough ?
Server conf:
2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5410 @ 2.33GHz
16Gb RAM
2 Gbit ethernet channel
OS - Linux CentOS 5.5 x86_64
FMS4 Interactive
Live stream parameters:
320Ń…240 qua_=87 bw_=200000 kf_=5 fps_=18
So, after approximately 600 connections to one stream video becomes choppy (periodically freeze, slow motions). CPU-usage at this time is 100-120% (maximum is 800%, 100% per each core), network usage is 500 Mbit/sec.But second live stream(with few connections) at this server looks fine simultaneously with 600 connections at first stream.Experiments with recommendation in "Configuring performance features" documentation chapter(enabling/disabling aggregate messages and configure the size of stream chunks) do not help.
We have a Red5 Server that we use to host a video chat. We are looking for a way to overlay SWF files over the top of a live stream video.For example, we could overlay an SWF animation of snow falling in front of a live stream from a webcam.

How can i save a webcam screenshot to a website?
I know you can save it to your hard drive using:
var browseFileReference = new FileReference();
browseFileReference.save(video);
But how would i go about it to save this image to a website, lets say flickr or facebook or something.

View 1 RepliesI have installed flash media server, flash cs5, media live encoder to be able to view my webcam feed via my website. Now in addition to these, i started streaming to localhost, and installed a dns updater which updates a name server according to my current ip. Then i wrote this dns address in the feed's source from flash 5 as rtmp://thednsname.somedns.net/live/livestream
so far so good, i also forwarded the ports 1935 incoming and outgoing from modem to my computer as well (because 1935 is said to be the default port number for media server). firewall -> closed (just in case); and my internet provider doesn't block ports...started the media server (with admin privilage in 7), started the live encoder, connect to localhost, start live feed.
NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound : Adobe Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist. Source can't be found.

This will create an flv video file on flash media server:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

View 1 RepliesI have a client who needs a Flash video to stream from a website, the video which is being made from powerpoint slides is roughly 22 minutes long. With the voiceover it's gonna be pretty heavy. Way too long to stream correctly from my experience so in order to do this right I need to know which way to go here.
I broke up the fla's into 4 ( 5 minute .swfs)I finished the first and I'm working on the second .fla. the first fla was published with the html wrapper let's call it v1.swf.on thelast frame of v1.swf I used the loader class to load the v2.swf into the wrapper when v2.swf ends it will loadv3.swf all the way up to 5.
So far this works using the two .swfs which are on my server and are streaming.Before I continue I just to make sure I do not do unecessary work I need to know if the way I plan on doing is correct or is there another way.
Is it possible to stream a radio channel in my website if I have the mml url mms:// ? I was checking out XML Flash Players but they do not seem to support that protocol. I am also ok if I need to code something but I would like to be guided in the right direction as I cannot find a lot of information about this issue.Is there something ready made? Would it be easier if I get my client to get me a different type of stream?
