Media Server :: NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW When Streaming Server Side Playlist?
Sep 23, 2010
I am streaming pre recorded audio files (mp4) to an AIR client. I have tried two different solutions,
streaming the file directly with the NetStream.play("mp4:xxxxx.m4a") and creating a server side playlist, adding the same sound clip and then streaming the playlist. The problem is, when streaming the playlist i get a few NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW, this does not happen when streaming the file direct. Both solutions uses bufferTime=1.0
I would like to use a server side playlist to implement a simple key solution so that the client dont know the full path to the file, but instead sends a key to a custom server side function that looks up the file path and creates a stream for the client.

I have a series of mp4 videos (H.236 @ 22 fps) streaming from an akamai FMS serve via RTMP protocol in flash player 9+ with AS 3.My goal is to create client side playlists that smoothly switch from one stream to another. I am creating these playlists using a series of netStream. play (filename,start,len) methods. If I don't use an offset for the start parameter, then the stream switches smoothly from one video to the next with not noticeable jump or jerkiness. However if I introduce a start offset, say a few seconds in, I start to see a quick little hiccup or pause between the seams as it switches from one playlist stream to the next.

The $995.00 version is listed as not supporting server side playlists. Is it possible to implement internet TV station like functionality using that version? I would like to have a list of files to play out and have it so those connected are all viewing the same thing.

We've upgraded our production servers to 3.5.3 on Windows 2008, and now I'm seeing a lot of "NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW" statuses in our client app's log The server is streaming a very low bandwidth live video/audio stream, and the client has more than plenty of bandwidth to play it The stream doesn't exhibit any audio drops or skipped frames, and there are no message drops on the server side We have had clients complaining of random disconnects. Does anyone know why I might be getting this message

I am generating a playlist server-side but am having problems when I try and scrub it on the client-side.Here's the contents of main.asc of my application:
application.onConnect = function(client) {
this.testStream = Stream.get("mp4:testplaylist");
this.testStream.play("mp4:test.f4v", 9, 16);
this.testStream.play("mp4:test2.f4v", 11, 10, false);
[code]...
The client calls "getStreamLength" to get the length of the sequence from the server; I do this in order to set the length of the scrub bar correctly.The problem is when I try and scrub - both forwards and backwards - it doesn't work; the stream just pauses then picks up where it last stopped, regardless of the position of the scrub bar.Is it possible to scrub a server-side generated playlist using Flash Media Server?I am using both Flash Player 10 and 10.1 and version 3.5.3 of Flash Media Server.

i have a problem with my server-side playlist. I have three incoming live-streams from the FME:
/*
clientStream = Stream.get("New_Stream");
clientStream.play("live1", -1, 10, false);
clientStream.play("live2", -1, 10, false);
clientStream.play("live3", -1, 10, false);
*/
I want that every stream is changed every 10 seconds and that the complete playlist starts again after the last stream was played. So far it works but only for three times. Then the messages "NetStream.Play.Stop" occurs.

Finding faults in my reasoning, or expanding the discussion further. We are benchmarking FMS 3.5.x for live dynamic streaming and we have run across an issue. When throttling the client from a high bandwidth (1500kbps) to a low bandwidth (325kbps) via a bandwidth shaper (a physical firewall) it takes a very long (real-) time for the client to see the new stream-quality.
During the investigation of this issue we have narrowed this down to:
1. when transition is requested from client, the client-side buffer is 1/2 i.e. 4-5seconds.
2. if transition is request on a client with unlimited bandwidth, it takes about 6 seconds for the server to process, find an acceptable switching position and send a "transition.complete" event.
3. on the throttled client however, this event takes much longer.

to generate thumbnails of the streaming video to control de contents of the video streaming. Could I do that in the server side?There is any setting to do that? Could I use the getOnMetadata method to catch a bitarray and then put in into a bitmap file?

I have an *.flv file on a FMS. When I play it on the client side the video plays just fine, but when I call Stream.play(filename, 0, -1, false) on the server side the video turns out really choppy.I both cases I use NetConnection to connect to an rtmp and NetStream to play the stream, but in one case I connect to a stream and request the server to play my file on that stream. Apparently that doesn't work with files? It works just fine for live streams.

I'm working with a custom made Flash video player using FMS (Wowza, actually).The video is working, yet when I access the BytesLoaded and BytesTotal,I get 0 (zero) for each.This even persists as the video is loading and playing.It's as if it is not even being registered at all.Here's the code:
var amountPlayed:Number = Math.round(ns.time * tlInterval) / Math.round(duration * tlInterval) * tlInterval;
controls.tl.width = Math.round(amountPlayed) * controls.tlw / tlInterval;[code].....
I tested this with a similar player that uses progressive downloading instead, and I get real data.

I'm trying to create a simple application that streams the webcam to FMS 4.5 (running on a Windows 7 machine), and then displays the published stream locally. Here's my code:
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.media.Video;
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
[Code]...
All traces in the event handlers show the NetConnection connecting successfully, and the netstream publishing successfully. However, I get no video output from this. I've confirmed this using the sample video player in FMS 4.5 as well. There is also a weird traffic pattern reported in the FMS Admin console.There is some traffic (~4K) when the NetStream first publishes, but after that there is no activity.

I'm doing a project like youtube. After some try, I can run FMS, dynamic playlist and flowplayer (I think this is what I need, am I right?) However, when I try to combine them, I discover a lot of problems. I follow this [URL] beginner_dynstre am_fms.html to learn about FMS, this [URL] to learn about dynamic playlist, this [URL] to learn about flowplayer. In the tutorial, the dynamic playlist cant run with FMS (even the tutorial says can, but when I try it, it cant!), and it is using Flash and as(AS3), the flowplayer is using html and js, I really cont know how to combine these 3 things together.

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'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 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?

Below is the code. When the swf is connected to FMS(the connection is successful) I use this application.user_so.send("enterContestGroup"); to call the client side mothed. You can see that in the client side I have defined the "enterContestGroup" mothed. However the fact is it doesn't call that mothed. Can anybody tell me what the error is
application.onAppStart = function(){ application.user_so = SharedObject.get("user_so", false); application.nextId = 0;}application.onConnect = function(newClient) application.acceptConnection(newClient);

I have a virtual directory (Storage Area Network) in 'C' drive as well as in "webroot" folder in Flash Streaming Server. What do I need to do to make RTMP videos work from SAN directory on Flash Streaming Server. It works fine for http. RTMP from vod -> application folder works fine. I have done a lot of research and found out that we can use virtual directories for streaming videos. I am unable to find steps on how to use it..

The company I work for installed FMS on a server running Centos for a customer who needed streaming media capabilities. It worked fine for 3 months until today the customer called us and informed us that their client program can no longer connect to the streaming media server. No one has done anything to the server to cause this to happen. When attempting to access the admin console to diagnose the program, the streaming server returned a 500 Internal Server Error. So I tried another page. Same result. Reboots of both the hardware server and the FMS have changed nothing.

NetStream.play(streamName, -1); This seems to be working wrong.if I have recorded an flv on server using FMS and FMLE with only audio with name "myaudio" and then after if I try to play a live stream using NetStream.play("myaudio", -1) then it plays the recorded stream. I believe that documentation says that it should start a live stream instead of playing recorded stream as the second argument is -1. Is this a bug in NetStream.play method?
