ActionScript 3.0 :: Video Player W/ FlashVars & Bandwidth Check?
Dec 19, 2008
I am trying to incorporate FlashVars into a video player that loads one of two movies depending on the users' bandwidth. I got everything working until I come to the FlashVars. Below is my code (most of it) which handles the bandwidth, etc, and the FlashVars.how to write these FlashVars so the accompanying .html file will load the fmspath, the src, and the src2 FlashVars.Here are some links to the project: (The zip file contains all the classes and the FLA File(s))http:[url......

I've just been asked to create a video player which automatically chooses the correct bitrate video to stream by detecting the bandwidth.I have no experience creating a video player so I'm looking for links/resources to do some research on the topic.Has anyone here created a video player in Flash? Would it be better to create in Flash or Flex?Once again, I have no prior knowledge in this type of creation and could use an experienced developer's opinion on what the first step is towards progress.

i am currently playing around with a flash media server trial in combination with the flowplayer.All in all i am testing the performance and general functionality for the company i work for.Anyways, i am trying to search a way to check the bandwidth of a client ( server sided ) and redirecting him to the right video stream.Sure this could be done by the backend flash application, but its out intention to perform this check server sided.

we are using RTMP with Flowplayer with dynamic bitrate switching and I'm a bit confused on the bitrate (kbps) that is called out in the code in order to configure the bandwidth check. I presume that this is the target bitrate if encoding using ABR or constant. How about for the rest of us that are using CRF? My understanding is that CRF is the way to go now for H264 (don't want to hijack the thread to a CRF vs ABR discussion). If we are using CRF, can we guess on the target bitrate that is called out in the bwcheck plugin?

My video player has a problem performing under bad bandwidth conditions.
When i disconnect from my network halfway through playback this triggers a netstatus event with an info of "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"..
If I reconnect my network, it doesn't start streaming again..If I call netStream.resume() that triggers a "NetStream.Unpause.Notify" but the buffer never fills up and the video never plays again.
Seems like once netstream runs out of internet juice and triggers a "NetStream.Buffer.Empty" there is nothing i can do to get playback to resume again.

Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?

We are having a little problem implementing bandwidth detection with FMS, for some reason when enable it, bandwidth consumption spikes significantly I am wondering why? and if there a white paper somewhere that would talk about how properly implement this feature.

I need to take a user from a html link to a specific anchor point in the Flash website... that's easy enough. But the problem then is that the site is blank until it has loaded the relevant section. There's a preloader at the start of the whole site, but if a person jumps right in, it appears that nothing's happening for a while -which doesn't look very good- then the page appears. Is there a way to take the user to the first frame so that the preloader does it's bit, and then use the flash vars command to check the link they had come from, and jump then to the relevant section?

Does anyone know if Flash Media Server can be configured to reduce the image quality of a publish stream if available bandwidth goes down or there are delays in the connection?
When I (locally) play back videos recorded on poorer/intermittent connections, video frames are dropped, so the image freezes up.

I have made a sample application for publishing video through FMS using as3.In that I had used the same code as given in the sample provided by the adobe,
m_nc = new NetConnection("rtmpt://localhost:1935/Test");
private function onNetStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
switch (event.info.code) case "NetConnection.Connect.

Is anyone familiar with the function of the Flash Media Server where it can detect a user's connection speed and deliver the appropriate quality version of the video on the user bandwidth detection?

Quick question - I have the following setup:
(1) An ec2 instance with an SWF on it - this SWF plays streaming video - i.e. is a video player like JWPlayer
(2) A streaming video distribution set up via Cloudfront
If I stream the the video via RTMP from Cloudfront to the SWF (which is on ec2) - would I incur charges for data transfer into the server (i.e. for data being read by the SWF) and out of the server (i.e. for data being displayed by the SWF to the user) on account of streaming the video to users (assuming that data transfer into and out for the server is being charged for)?

We have an application that is using FMS to share slides (swf,jpg, etc) with another client. We added a video as an option. We would like to verify as often as possible the bandwidth quality between communications in order to suggest the user to close video if we notice bandwidth is not optimal.
We've been experimenting doing a bandwidth detection every 60 seconds, but I am wondering if there are specific guidelines to do this for live video, like how many times one should verify bandwidth? Is it ok to take one reading or should we take a few readings and then average out?

I have built a music community website, obviously members can sign up for an account, and upload mp3 files to their accounts.Once registration is complete, the php script creates a folder in the members directory on my server with their unique id, then when they go and upload an mp3, it uploads it to their folder and automatically creates a playlist.xml file for the song(s) I have a prebuilt flash mp3 player that I got from developphp.com, his as3 code calls for a static directory for the audio and xml, now since the flash player will live in the root, and the xml and audio will live in the members/$id folders, I am told to use flashvars and loaderinfo.parameters to do what I need, and that is to load the xml and mp3 files into the player for the profile that is being viewed at that moment, so lets look at what I've put into the html object and embed.
lets use profile #7
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?<?php print"$id/playlist.xml" ?>">
<embed src="flplayer.swf?<?php print "$id/playlist.xml" ?>"> (please tell me if I have done this incorrectly)
now if we go to the profile.php?id=7 page, thius is what the page source looks like:
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml">
<embed src="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml>">
now here is where I am stuck, as I said the flash mp3 player urlLoader and URLRequest, and I have been searching for days to figure out what I am supposed to do to get the player to pick up on the flash vars, here is the top part of the as3 code where it calls for the mp3 and the xml.
stop();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);

I'm using netstream in a video player that uses Flashvars to play flvs. The problem is that all the flvs are different dimensions. I'm not exactly sure how to handle this. (I know components stretch to fit, but I like using netstream.)

We are using a flash video player. In that we are passing an xml URL as Flashvars which contains the path of the flv video to be played in that player. This works fine when we are uploading to the test server. But we have a development sever which is accessed by an ip address. Whenever any ip address xml URL is sent to the flash, it is not playing the video.When we use domain_name/video_player it is working fine and xml file is loadingBut when we use ip_address_of_domain/video_player, XML is not loading Seems to be really strange

I have a website [URL] when I go there if I click the video archives button then play a video then click on the home or photos button or one of the alternate background buttons on the left the video goes away as it should but not always the audio (especially when I click while the video is still buffering). Is there a command I can use to kill the sound from the flvPlayback component and nothing else(I have a mp3 player there also I so I don't want to use the SoundMatrix class. btw the videos are all played on an instance of the flvPlayback component.
