ActionScript 3 :: Akamai OSMF Live Stream Connection Woes
Oct 13, 2010
I know this stream works because of two reasons:
1) It works OUTSIDE of OSMF
2) It works in the akamai support player: [URL]. I don't believe the current akamai support player is using OSMF (which is suprising since they built the predecessor to osmf..)
My question is: How in the world do I play a live stream in osmf? This should be very simple if not automatic. However, I'm getting the following error when I try to play a working live stream:
Error: Stream not found
Which is a bunch of garbage since a non-OSMF player can play it. I have the Akamai Basic Streaming plugin which doesn't seem to be working either.
I noticed I'd only getting the "blips of black" (maybe 300ms of all black) whenever the stream quality changes (due to the DSS throttle). I thought maybe there is not enough buffer, but the stream change takes about 7s (according to the HDCore debug messages) and the bufferTime, according to the associated netStream, is set to 10 seconds by default.
Perhaps there's a better way to set up the buffer in HDCore? This worked fine with OSMF, but OSMF doesn't support HTTP DSS. Using: Flash Player 10.2 and Akamai HDCore 2.1.20
What's the best way to check whether there is video data (or not) in a live RTMP stream? For example, if a broadcast terminates, can I auto-detect that condition, to perform some sort of "thank you for watching" behavior?Also, how can I know if a visitor somehow gets disconnected from the Internet during the broadcast? (So I can notify the visitor of the problem, and give instruction.)
I was wondering how can I connect to a live stream camera like this one URL... or others if you know. And after I established the connection to load it in a movieClip and have it in full screen.
I am having trouble getting audio stream meta data from an Akamai FMS stream. Everything is undefined and I'm not sure why. I am hoping maybe someone will notice something that I am overlooking. The stream is connecting and playing without a problem I just can't seem to figure out why all the meta data is undefined.
Is it possible to stop a (live) Stream from playing for a user, but keep his NetConnection open for eg chat functionality?I only see a setBandwidthLimit to accomplish something similar to this, but then, if BW is set to 0, chat won't work.Why isn't there a built in feature to do something of seemingly common necessity like Client.stream.stop/change function to stop or change what video playback the client sees?
I Need to Broadcast 20,000 to 40,000 Live Streams.! (Bitrate : 128Kbps / Viewers Per Stream Apprx-10 Server : Adobe FMS Server Amazon EC2 Instance - Bandwidth Apprx 100mbps)My Question is1. How Many Concurrent connections Possible for one Adobe FMS Server? (Amazon EC2 Instance)2. is this possible to use RTMFP for this process? (20,000 Connections Via Amazon Adobe FMS Server EC2 Instance )3. if Possible Over RTMFP then How Many Developer Keys Need for this Operation. (or) Pricing Details for the Developer Key. (or) Any Separate Key[s] Available For Amazon EC2 Instance?
I have Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 (not Interactive) running on RHEL5.5 x86_64 Linux.All is working well, however how do I prevent unauthorized access to connecting to the live stream and streaming content?How can I setup the server to require a user and password to stream live media to the server?I am new to this product and I have been reading some documentation but I have not found a clear cut answer on how to force a username and password to connect to the server to stream live content only.I am using the Adobe FMS Apache install, what files need changing?[code]I want to lock down a person from connecting to the server on the public internet and starting a live stream?Can this be done with a user name and password?
I build a client side application where is only a FLVPlayback2.5 component and a short AS3 script.

My Encoder is setup with three streams: Vid: 500 kbps - Audio: 48 kbpsVid: 800 kbps - Audio: 48 kbpsVid: 1500 kbps - Audio: 48 kbps I start the encoder and everything looks fine in the log. In my browser (Safari or Firefox) I go to my html site and the stream starts after 6-8 sec. But anytime with the lowest bitrate 548 kbps and nothing look like the stream is switching to another bitrate. I tried it with the smil playlist and the result is the same. Only the lowest bitrate is plublished.
I'm having a problem with recording a live webcam stream. The last few seconds of the stream is getting cut off. The recording is stopped with the following piece of code:
I'm trying to stream a HDS live multi-bit stream, it seems to push to the FMS but my player doesn't display the stream.Are these settings and files correct? The documenation is confusing on what and which files need to be edited and/or created.
Encoder settings: Bit Rate: 150,500,700 FMS URL: rtmp://myserver/livepkgr Stream: liveevent%i?adbe-live-event?liveevent
FMS 4.5
I see the following directories being created when I start encoding and each directory has a single file with a .stream extension in them. Are these correct? fC:FMS-HOMEapplicationslivepkgrevents\_definst_liveevent1[code].....
I have a frame that has a movie embedded in and a main menu button.I have several in the presentation that work fine.This one will not.Is there something that will keep a button on the stage from working when movie clip is present.My movie has the following error:The video player is in the connection error state.It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found.It plays fine on the stage. My button code is:
menu_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, main1); function main1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(51); }
How can i stream video live by the help of PHP like live tv? I am willing not to use flash media server. If it is must to use it then which server is free and reliable?
I have a problem where I'm streaming a video via RMTP from akamai for a video serving site and an issue has come up during QA where a user starts a video stream and then disconnects their internet connection, which causes the video player to go into the buffer state. The problem occurs when they reconnect their internet connection and we'd like to pick up the stream again.
Possible to place or insert text on live video stream using the FMS?Whether with any solution or plugin.I am a web radio broadcaster and would like to have information on the screen like the station's phone number instead of having to keep reading it out all the time.
I'm having some trouble finding out how you can add metadata to a live stream. I'm streaming the webcam over fms and recording it in main.asc. So far so good. I have 2 applications. One that sends data and one that recieves data. The functionality is more or less like this example. The article says: "Note: If you record the video on the server side (a functionality of FMIS), the injected events are lso being triggered by the recorded file." That is what I want, but I have no idea how to make it happen. The problem is that I can't find any good examles for as3 and I have never looked into as2 (still new to flash in general )
I'm recording a lot of live streams for archiving purposes. Is it possible to somehow (programmaticly) get the timestamp of a certain point of such record?
When I use Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 publish http live stream. I found a message from Server Log of Manage Servers of Adobe Flash Media Administrator Console. It says that "Failed to record live stream (disk quota exceeded)."
How to create a script of some kind to grab a still picture from a live stream and save it as a JPG file?
In this way a cron job can tricker the script and thereby grab a picture fx every 10'th minute and the picture can be shown on a website so people that are not attending can have a look into what is happening in the live stream.
I'm just starting with ActionScript and I want to make an app, but I'm wondering that what I'm thinking of is even possible.Is it possible to make an app that receives a live stream from my desktop??
Code: var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect("rtmp://flashmedia.NunyaBusiness.com/live/"); var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

I am using the above code for a live stream. My quesiton is how do I detect whether there is content being streamed and if not, to show a "Coming Soon" movieclip? I know that a listener would do the trick, but I have no experience with listeners in AS2.
I have a HD Camera streaming a live feed through FME 2.5 to FMS 3.0 using the VP6 codec and it works fine. I have now been trying to get the same stream running via H.264 and althogh FME 2.5 connects to the FMS 3.0 server and the stream starts with FMS 3.0 reporting the stream no problem. The Client application crerated with Captivate 3 using Flash Player 9 for publishing no longer dispays the video. Switching back to VP6 works again.
I have a live encode to the media server with dvr enabled for H264/MP3 format. When I try to play the dvr cache stream, all I get is audio and no video. If I switch to VP6/MP3, the stream plays fine. If I do a live encode with no dvr, it streams fine. Does dvr with H264 work only when you flatten the file using F4V post processor tool? Will the dvr cache stream work if I switch to AAC instead of MP3?
I'm running the Interactive Flash server 3 and I'm wondering is there a way to give people a user & password to limit who can live stream into the server.I can do this with the Real server and Windows media fairly easily but having problems figuring out how to on the flash server.Currently if you have the Servers IP and the flash encoder you can stream with no Username or password required. I would like to restrict this.
