Media Server :: Switching Not Working In Playlist?
Sep 9, 2011
So recently I have found issues with switching when playing playlists in a player we are developing. So to trouble shoot I built a simple application with buttons to manually switch. The first video in the stream switches just fine. When the player gets to to the second video in the the stream, switch does does not work either with or with out oldStreamName defined in the NetStreamPlayOptions. What happens is the the stream ends prematurely, a few seconds to a few minutes after the the button to switch is clicked. If I just let it pIay with out switching it plays out the whole stream as intended. I can't find any reason for this not to work, so I am wondering if there is an issue with the server.

So I've built a player to play playlists and it uses my own DynamicStream class (not the abobe one). I've ran into an issue with playing the same video multiple times. In this app there will be many occassions when a video may be repeated in the playlist up to 3 times. Here's an example of the problem:
Lets say I have 2 videos in a playlist and they are the exact same video. They both are the low birate version. The fist video dynamically swiches to different bitrates seamlesly as planned. If I fast forward the stream to the begining of the second video it starts playing and if my bandwith is ok it wants to switch to a better bitrate. It swiches but instead of being seemless it plays the second video from the begining again. So, I'm thinking this is where oldStreamName comes in. So I add the oldSteamName and make sure its correct, but the problem with that is if the same video is in playlist more than once then the transition never even happens.

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.

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.

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 understand how clients use bandwidth detection etc to dynamically switch streams via client calls with ns.play2( ... ), but I was wondering if it's possible to only ever use 1 initial ns.play( ... ) call on the client side, but let FMS server side logic that I write dictate which client sees what content. For example, I have 3 clients connected to my FMS server, all watching a live stream. I then decide I want clientA to see 'recordedMovieA.flv', clientB to continue seeing the live stream, and clientC to watch 'recordedMovieB.flv'.

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.

As stated above, I wanted to know if I can take a video playlist, say with 4 clips, and have FMIS create a separate file out of the 4 individual clips. Specifically, a user selects 4 (or any number) of clips to create their playlist, then at the end, a 'full length' file is created. If this isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to elaborate.

I read a blog article http:(url......)talking about switching between different bit rate video streams of the same video content on fly.But I can not find such ability in RTMP's specification.I am wondering if such function has to be implemented by users with ActionScript?

This is a bump and additional thought. The leap to my 1500k file happens when initial bandwidth detection happens as bandwidth is high. Then the computer can not handle playback of a 1500k file. Is there a way to force the player to actually start playing the 300k stream before making any step up to a higher stream?[URL].. Bitrate of currently playing stream is displayed in big numbers on the page. To see the problem you will need an older laptop or computer which would have trouble playing back a a high bitrate video stream.
the stream is dynamically switching through the DynamicStreamItem list of the same file at different bitrates. It works but the switching seems to take way too long. When the default file at 300k loads, the bandwidth test happens and the 1500k file loads. Then on a slow CPU machine the file switches back down as it sees frames are being dropped. This switching is happening way too slowly, it takes a good 45 seconds to switch its way down through the various files from 1500k to 300k again on an old powerPC laptop which can only play successfully at that rate.

I was just curious as to whether or not it is possible to broadcast a live stream and then be able to push in, let's say for familiarity, a commercial? I have tried to find some information on the Flash Dev Net area, however, I don't think it leans towards what I am aiming for.

I developed an simple video player based on the osmf with a dynamic streaming.It works fine with the examples from Akamai, but if i take my Live-Streams the first stream loads but as soon as stream should switch to a higher bandwidth i get the error:ERROR : error ID=15 message=Playback failed detail=Failed to play (stream ID: 1).Has anyone an idea what i do wrong? Or what might be wrong with the videos or streaming?

We are able to successfully use livepkgr to generate an HLS stream. We are using FMLE as the encoder. If we do any video switching, the HLS stream will die. Should livepkgr be capable of video switching?

is it possible to receive live stream at bitrate lower than that which video is being recorded with? How to accomplish that? I know that play2 from NetStream class allows to switch between recorded videos at different bitrates, but what about live content? I cannot simply set bandwidth to lower using FMS because i need to be sure that framerate won't be affected, and there are also other simultaneous streams playing .

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 have FMIS 3.5.I've installed it with pretty much all the default values.I haven't changed any of the settings in either the LIVE or the VOD applications.Dynamic Bitrate Switching is working well for VOD, but not working at all for LIVE streams.Doing a regular bandwidth detection on both the LIVE and the VOD applications give similar, high bandwidth results. However, the LIVE application NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is showing a very low bandwidth capability of around maxBytesPerSecond = 19016, where as for the VOD its achieving around 637110.I can play a single LIVE stream of a high quality smoothly without any error.
I don't know if this is relevent but I'm getting some error messages occassionally in the log of the live application saying : Dropping application (live/_definst_) message. Clients not allowed to broadcast message.These messages aren't consistent, and don't coincide with trying to use bitrate switching.I have tried downloading the Adobe sample StreamSwitching. fla and it won't play the LIVE streams at all.Using the opensource Longtail Video player it just always defaults to the lowest stream.Here is an example: http:[url]....

is there a way to define a client side playlist like this:[code]but instead of a single videofiles for each playlistentry use dynamic streaming?I know how the DynamicStream class is working and how to set it up but i can't find any information if it is possible to combined those two techniques.

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.
