ActionScript 3.0 :: NetStream Play Complete Still Not Working?
May 2, 2008
Hoped this would ave been fixed in as3 but this event does not always get triggered. Seems to be related to the encode. Anyways I would like to see others approach to this issue.
Currently I have place a condition in the NetStream.Play.Stop event to check if the ns.time is > the duration-1;
[as]
if (ns.time > duration-1){
playing = "complete";
}
[as]
I have noticed this does even work consistantly unless I change it to ns.time > duration-2.
I am experiencing an issue with playback on RTMPE streams. after investigation it seems that the FMS server is firing the NetStream.Play.Complete message at random points, indicating that a stream has ended. This is happening and random points during the stream, not even close to the end.[code]As you can see roughly 17mins into playback...although the stream is 1 hour 24mins long.I have tested this numerous times, and each time it is at a different point in the stream.Intermittently the NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW warning is being fired prior to NetStream.Play.Stop.I am using a player built on OSMF 1.5
I'm using OSMF v.95 to handle my video playback. When my streaming videos finish, the following error is triggered:"NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound"I want to be able to re-play the videoor scrub back, but the stream is unusable after that error.I've tested against a few different streams - here is one:
I've got a play/pause movie on my timeline to control an FLV via NetStream. The idea is to switch from a play symbol to a pause symbol, but it's not working.[code]Clicking on the clip will start and stop the flv just fine, but the symbol switch doesn't happen. When I take out the ns code, just to check and see if the switch will actually work, there's no problem.What am I doing wrong? How can I get my clip to change from a play to a pause symbol?
I would like to have the possibility to detect when NetStream is not working (i.e. the name used in initialization can't be found on the server side). The StreamNotFound doesn't work at all. I've read that it's the fault of the Flash Media Server, which automaticaly creates new stream, if it cannot be found (of course it's an empty stream - what is wrong from my point of view). Is it true? If yes, can I disable it on the server side, so I could easily detect if the stream name is correct?
I am using NetStream, NetConnection and Video object to play an mp4 file which is hosted over a web server using http.This is an AIR application and the relevant code is pasted below:
var url:String = <some http url>; connect_nc = new NetConnection(); connect_nc.connect(null);
I got a bunch of live stream from FMLE, say: "FMLE_channel1", "FMLE_channel2", "FMLE_channel3". And then on the server side, I created several corresponding republished stream called "channel1", "channel2", "channel3".
On periodical basis, we call Stream.get("channel1").play("FMLE_channel1", -1, 10, true) every 10 seconds. Similar things were done on the second channel & third channel.Soon after the above Stream.get("channel1").play() call, I should get the following events in sequence:info :NetStream.Unpublish.Successinfo :NetStream.Publish.Startinfo :NetStream.Play.Resetinfo :NetStream.Play.Start In the above case all are happy. Clients can view channel1, channel2, channel3 well.But then after a while, one of the three channels, in most case it would be channel1, will not be viewable.
With the server trace info, I found that after the Stream.get("channel1").play() call, only the following two events exists:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Successinfo :NetStream.Publish.Starti.e. I was missing the play.reset and play.start event.I further checked and confirmed that the FMLE was publishing all three channels fine to the server. I was able to view the "FMLE_channel1" from flash clients, but not the republished "channel1". the version is FMS 3.5.0.
I have a "movie player" that plays flv files using the code below (videoToPlay is the name of the file to play and is just a string). I want to use the same setup to play an mp3 file also.I tried using mySound = new Sound(); and then mySound.attachNetStream(ns);, but it gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method attachNetStream through a reference with static type flash.media:Sound.
1) What is the recommended/best practice method for loading videos (flv, f4v, mp4, etc.) from a play list. Some of the files might be on the local file system, some might be on a streaming server and uses rtmp.
2) Does the VideoPlayer.play internally use NetStream/NetConnection objects? I could get the files to play using both these methods - not sure if one is better than the other. I didn't see any references about streaming in the VideoPlayer.play method - but it does work with rtmp URLs!
3) For a long running standalone application, how do I make sure the VideoPlayer/NetStream objects are properly released/garbage collected? Right now I am closing the netstream/netconnection after playing every file - mainly because I do not know which server/file system the next video is being loaded from.
I used NetStream.play("invalid-live-stream-url") to play an invalid live stream. The other arguments are using default, e.g. start = -2, len = -1.
The menu says that when we use the default "start" and "len" to call "NetStream.play", "Plays the live stream until it is no longer available. If a live stream of the specified name is not found, Flash Player plays a recorded stream until it ends."
However, I do not have a recorded stream on the server that has the same name as the live stream, and I did not get the expected "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" error.
i have a proyect wich compiles flawlessly in cs5, i decided to ported to cs5.5 because air3 does not get installed in cs5. when i try to compile i get an error... 1119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.
When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flvs work perfectly on both players.
my auto complete isn't working.ActionScript Code:import flash.display.MovieClipusing the above, if I type: import flash.display. there is only one item in the auto complete (BitmapData), when there should be a lot more than that. Why are they not showing?
Im trying to get cuepoints working on an old as2 project.I have a netstream video component and want the cuepoints embedded in the FLV to trigger buttons to appear. I have embedded them as Event Cuepoints.
I have 9 videos in a gallery. Each one gets displayed in a custom video component. When you navigate to watch a new one a new NetStream is setup.I have 2 problems. Basically if you don't watch the video right to the end and when you select and watch a new one:1. a "buffering video" movieclip does not display correctly (or at all) indicating that NetStream.Buffer.Empty isn't working properly (maybe its referencing the previous movie ???).2. when the next movie is buffered and starts you hear a little split second glitch of sound (which sounds like its from the previous movie).
both these problems seem to indicate that in some way the previous movie is still lingering around and in some way needs to be 'flushed' away so that on the next movie the code to display the 'buffering video' message works properly and you don't get this legacy remnant of sound for a split second.At the beginning of the code for each movie I have placed:
I am trying to create a simple online recording via FMS2
Here is my coding:
Code:
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0; var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); var ns:NetStream;

WHen I try to record a video via my cam (click the button "btnRec"), ... no error message comes up, but there is no FLV file (it should be "videoName.flv") has been generated in rtmp://localhost/test ?
The main problem is that the FLV doesn't load/play, which most likely causes the secondary problems, such as the bufferClip always visible and no way to test the video and audio scrubbers.
I'm using the netstream and video object to play a video in flash. Specifically a mp4 video.
What I'm trying to do is start playing the file from a specific position (Ex. 20seconds).
However with netstreamObject.seek(20) doesn't work unless the stream has been loaded past 20seconds. Is there a way to specify starting to load at 20s? Or any other way of accomplishing this?
I am trying to upload my demo reel. I compressed it to an FLV file, and used the import video command with the setting' "Load external video with playback component." After selecting my skin and hitting ok, I got a prompt that said "Netstream.play.stream not found." Why isn't this working?
I have confirmed to my satisfaction that the following code never triggers the Event.COMPLETE of var loader:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(contact_url); var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES; req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; [Code] .....
However, it does in fact send the emails it is designed to send! Why doesn't it complete when in fact the work is done?
I have a project that I want to port to mobile platform on Android and iOS.The project uses a v.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completePlay) handler to detect when video is finished playing and trigger the next action.
The project is running perfecty when publishing for Air or Flash Player 9 and above.However when just changing the target player for publishing to Air for Android or iOS the following error occours:Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.
I have a video complete event that was working wonderfully, when it was part of my main SWF, but now I have pulled it out and have it as an external SWF and is being loaded into the main timeline. Now it does not work.
I now get this error on compiling:
Code: Symbol 'reconnect_video', Layer 'Actions', Frame 141, Line 61119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class. The code that is causing the error is as follows:
Code: import fl.video.VideoEvent; reconn.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandlerReconn); function completeHandlerReconn(event:VideoEvent):void{
[Code].....
This is code is inside off a movieClip called "reconnect_video" which is nested inside of a movieClip called "journal_open". So the parent of this movieClip should still be the same. The "journal_open" movie clip is the one that was removed from the original SWF. (due to size) I am now loading "journal_open" externally, and since then this error has appeared.
Do I have to do something different since this is no longer the main SWF?
When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flv work perfectly on both players.
I am implementing a video player in Actionscript and I need to be able to define the starting play time for the videos. Netstream.seek(pos) works for flv files but fails for H.264 files (the player starts playing the video from the beginning). Anyone knows what might be the problem? (I am using Netstream for this instead of adding a parameter with the starting time when I call the Netstream.play method because I don't have Flash Media Server).
I'm building a video chat in flash and everything works really well, except for the part where I'm trying to detect if the other user is sending a working video stream. There's a couple of reasons why the other user isn't sending video. -The other user got no camera -The other user got a camera, but the camera is currently being occupied by another application(Skype, Photo Booth, Google Talk, etc.) -The other user got a camera but hasn't allowed the use of his/hers camera. (Other unexpected problems I guess...)
So how do I detect if the stream I receive from the other user is a black stream(because of the reasons above) using the NetStream class? The closest thing I have came up with is by adding a timer that polls the currentFps() function from the stream I receive from the other user. But so far this seems pretty unreliable because I might get currentFps() == 0 and show an error because of this even though I actually got video from the stream in some cases. The reason for this is because I poll the API every 4 seconds for the currentFPS function and let's say at 00:00:04 I get "no video" according to the poll but at 00:00:05 the video kicks in, and therefor I need to wait until the next tick until the error message disappears
This is what my current poll looks like function subscribingStatusPoll(e:TimerEvent):void { if (subscribingStream.currentFPS == 0){ error.text = "No video found from the other user... } else { error.text = ""; }}
This is the only hack I that I can come up with to detect this, but this is unreliable and I actually would prefer a way to instantly detect if the stream I receive got a working video attached to it.
I'm recording audio using FMIS, the file is being saved out as a FLV file and I am able to play it back. Eventually that file may be deleted after some time and I would like to notify the user if the file is no longer available. I was expecting to see NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound after deleting the file on the server but I'm not getting that message. Instead I get:
--> NetStream.Play.Reset--> NetStream.Play.StartAnd nothing plays which is expected since the file is deleted, but I dont get the right message. I'm calling the file like so:ns.play ("flv:file_to_stream");
I'm streaming mp3 on flash media server 3.5 on linux version, and very often come accross with that problem, when the buffer.length become 0 on client side, the streaming will stop with NetStream.Play.Stop event, and will not be continued. I think this case it should wait always till the data arrives and never should stopping. Some more info : I tested on applications/live folder, and the mp3 files are created dynamically during the playing, and the creation speed is almost the same like the playing speed, so those are not fix files.
i've created a sub-folder called dvr under fms 4.0 applications. i made a test of playing a video named sample.flv then at the same time i publish it to the same fms 4.0 server with a different video name: "mergedVideo".the asc at the fms server as following:
