Media Server :: Streaming 2 X H264 Live Videos Using Smil File?
Aug 6, 2010
I want to be able to stream a live video using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 using two options of 300 kbps and 150 kbps.I want to give users a choice of stream quality depending on their available bandwidth to maintain the live feed.I have set it up so that the Bit Rates are 300 and 150 and tick marks on: 1 and 2my FMS URL is correctin the Stream: box I have written: test1;test2The SMIL file has the following:
When I place the .swf, smil and http files on the FMS server the SMIL stream test sample works fine But When I move the files to my web server I get Connection error. This is the same issue discussed in [URL].. I added a 'base' variable but it did not work for me. The SMIL file has the correct path to the sample files and FMS server <meta base="rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/" />
I am able to stream files from my html file on my webserver not the FMS server by pointing to the FMS server at rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/mp4:sample1_1500kbps.f4v Is this a domain security setting? If so, where do I change it? If not How do I get FMS to stream SMIL files without installing a webserver with FMS?
I have a video player with a playlist written with AS3, along with an .XML settings file to edit the playlist. I can successfully play rtmp:/ streams from my FMS server on the video player. I would like to use dynamic streaming using the dynamicStream.smil file with my existing video player/playlist. Lastly, I have been unsuccessful taking the snippet code from the FMS, Dynamic Streaming sample page, and using it within an HTML document. I assumed all I would need to change were the paths to where the rtmp:// video file, .smil, and the video player files were located on the FMS.
I have a video player working just fine with one video, steaming and using dynamic stream switching on a flash media server.Now I want to have more videos.I want to start using SMIL files for the dynamic switching list for each video.If you do not know what a SMIL file is you probably can not help.
Anyway how do I point to a SMIl file instead of just listing the streams.here is how I do my list at the moment var dsi:DynamicStreamItem = new DynamicStreamItem();dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR300_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 300 );dsi.addStream( "mp4:GeneralReel_512x375_BR600_CBR_A96_Prog_1KFPS.f4v", 600 );dsi.addStream(
I'm trying to publish video streaming over internet. I want to use the h264 codec in FMS for that. Is there any in built property or setting to use h264 or have to use library for that. And also want to know among VP6, sorenson and 264 which is better to use.
I am using the new Flash Player 11 ability to encode H264 video within the Flash Player. I am streaming the webcam via RTMP to a FMS. I am using the following settings:H.264 BaselineLevel 5.1Keyframe freq. 5 seconds25 FPSInput size: 1280 x 720 (720p)Output size: 1280 x 720 (720p)Bit Rate: 1000KbpsWhen I am using these settings with FMLE 3.2, the final stream plays very fluent with a good amount of FPS. If I am using Flash Player 11 for the encoding job instead, the final video is not as fluent as before and achieves less FPS (maybe 5 FPS).So the question is: is Flash Player 11 not as good as FMLE 3.2 or am I missing some configuration?
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..
We just shipped Xuggler 3.4 this weekend which now has the ability to record and publish RTMP streams. That means you can now write Xuggler (a Java API for encoding and decoding video) programs that can publish to FMS or record from FMS.
We've worked closely with the FFmpeg team to get the core RTMP stack into that project, and have put together a tutorial on how to use FFmpeg to record or publish streams, including re-encoding media to H264/AAC while publishing.
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'm running Flash Media Streaming Server and have only been serving VOD up until now. I had my network administrator open up port 1935 to the outside world during the setup process and now I can't remember if that was actually required for streaming VOD to clients. Most documentation I've read says that this port should be open, but I seem to recall reading something at one point that suggested it wasn't necessary.
I've just started messing around with publishing live streams using Flash Media Live Encoder to the Flash Media Streaming Server. I have that working without issue but was surprised to find that no authentication is required before a client running the live encoder can publish a stream to the Flash Media Streaming Server. An authentication module is available however it only works with Flash Media Interactive Server and Flash Media Development Server.
If I leave port 1935 open to the outside world, there would be nothing to stop anybody anywhere from streaming video via my server. Anyone else running a default install of Flash Media Streaming Server and with port 1935 open to the outside should see that this is true of their setup as well. I'm wondering if I can safely close port 1935 without limiting the functionality of the server or if there's some way I can require authentication prior to publishing a live stream even though I'm not on the four-and-a-half-times-more-expensive edition of the product.
We (the university I work for) want to add an IP camera to the top of a building (so it has to be IP, we can't put a machine up there, so USB is out of the question) to stream a live view of the quad. The problem is, I can't find a way to stream any IP Cameras through the flash live encoder. I tried a camera by Axis, but their capture driver only supported MJPEG which the live encoder does not.
I have a FMS 4.5 with (License) and is set up and running fine, now I want to stream Live to the IOS Devices but no luck. I have a web page for test purpose with the video src tags to: URL... and in the server I have a livestream.m3u8 pointing to the same URL..., Now the Encoder have the AAC plugin and all the presets like it shut but when I go to see it in my IPad 2 this is how it looks.
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.
is there a possibility of authentication FMLE users to the server on the FMSS? Or such a possibility exists only in the FMIS? Actually, somebody had to deal with this problem? Decide whether it?
I m a begginer with FMS. I have a licenced version of FMS and I want to stream a live video from the Localhost or another machine with camera. And then then I should broadcast it to many clients. I don't know how to begin
the FMS server is streaming videos only when the path doesn't have the flv extension with the video. In case I put the .flv extension, it connects to the RTMP server but doesn't streams the video. How can I make it stream even if the video has .flv extension?
I'm finally getting the hang of the Dynamic Streaming of live video content via FMS 3.5.2 and FMLE, and to a lesser extent, the DVR functionality that has newly been made available.
Inquiring minds want to know... is it possible to add DVR functionality to live Dynamically Streamed video content? In other words, I want to be able to provide DVR capability to our live videos that are being streamed at 3 different bitrates.
Is that currently possible? Jodi, can you ask David Hassoun, who seems to be the leading authority at the moment, if this is possible, and if so, if there's a tutorial we can access?
I was pretty confused while stetting up a FMS and reading the docs. Live Streaming is by default enabled for everyone without password. Then I discovered and installed the authentication module. But this does not work and is not well documented. Also the download page states that it will work with FMS but some lines below it is stated that: "the Flash Media Server Authentication Add-In is only available for the Flash Media Interactive Server and the Flash Media Developer Server. This Add-In does not work with the Flash Media Streaming Server." hmmm. Confusing. How can I prevent that everyone is using my server for live streaming?
I've tested an exciting tutorial about streaming live video with Flash Media Server 3.5..every thing went good and i could see my webcam broadcast from my machine through my web site but unfortunately.I can't see it from any other machine.I'm using Microsoft windows XP SP2and flash media live encoder 3but my web server run UNIX is this a problem?
I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this. I'm attempting to stream a live event using FMLE and FMS. The first thing that throws me off is that I cannot push the stream to the server using RTMPE, only RTMP[T]. I assume this is because the the encryption is handled by the server and not the encoder. However, for the sake of security I would like to disable RTMP connections from the flash player to the server. Yet it would seem that if I incorporate the server side scripting described here [URL] (namely the changes to my main.asc file), that my server would reject an RTMP connection from FMLE? Is that correct? If so, where do I go from here? Can I broadcast a live stream using RTMPE only? Do I need a different encoder or something, or am I just missing a very simple point?
The article Live dynamic streaming with Flash Media Server 3.5 mentions two different bit rates for each video size type.But why? Are these bitrates related to different compression ratios? And if so, why exactly two?
I've read the reference here,but it seems to me that I can only make it work with live OR recorded videos.How can I make it work with both live AND recorded videos?
We have a problem working with FMS 3.5 (installed on a IIS server). Configuration of the servers all based on IIS: webserver (authentification, xml data loaded by Flash app, data (on IIS) sended to and recieve from FMS). Seperate FMS 3.5 (latest update) server. Only running FMS (no other apps are running on this machine).
I have got success in making live streaming with telecast at different pc. The application which I have made has the features: I' am publishing live stream using the connection like: nc.connection("rtmp://10.8.4.56:1935/live"); publishing the stream like: ns.publish("mycamera","live"); now, on other pc I am running the file for telecast using the following code: making connection with server: nc.connection("rtmp://10.8.4.56:1935/live"); playing the live stream: ns.play("mycamera"); vid.attachNetStream(ns);
Now, that was for the live stream for publish and view. But I want little more than that.I want to record the live stream at the publish end simultaneously. I have tried the code at publish side like: nc.connection("rtmp://10.8.4.56:1935/live"); ns.publish("mycamera","live"); ns.publish("mycamera","record"); But it is giving me error: NetStream.Record.NoAccess when I am changing the connection point to tmp://10.8.4.56:1935/dvr", t is giving me the result but then effecting the live telecast.
I am in the market for a good (pro)camcorder to stream live university seminars. Currently I use a Canon Optura Xi with firewire output and use the miniDV tape for backup in case something interfers with the live stream. I want to get away from miniDV tape and find a video camera with SD/flash card recording. My dilemma, most new camcorders do not have firewire output for live recording. We do our live stream through the Adobe Media Encoder
I'm using FMLE 3.1 to stream live video encoded with H.264 format with FMS 3 and Flash player 10 + AS 3 to connect to the stream. When I connect to the stream, just the audio is played. I'm able even to get the metadata information about the video, but I just receive the audio. I already tried some stuff like
1. "Flash 10 won't play live stream H.264 after iTunes install" [URL]. I tested it in a complete different environment than mine, but the same result.
2. I've tried some format to play method, but this is just to play files ns.play("mp4:saple.f4v"); ns.play("mp4:sample");
3. Also read "How do you watch and record a live h.264" [URL], but I don't get even to play the stream at first place. This is the code I'm using
import flash.media.Video; var video:Video = new Video(720, 480); var ncVideo = new NetConnection(); this.ncVideo.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus); [Code] .....
Another detail is that when I record the video to a file for instance "sample.f4v", I put this video in the FMS but when I connect to this stream I receive the "FileStructureInvalid" error message. I went from changing the extension to .flv [URL] to the solution to flatten the files [URL] but this is not the case because I'm using FMS to stream the recorded video.
