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.
View 6 RepliesI 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:
<smil> <head> <meta base="rtmp://live" /> <body> <switch>
<video src="mp4:test1.f4v" system-bitrate="150000"/>

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?
View 2 RepliesWe 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.
Right now I am working on an AIR 3.2 application which lets you stream a video to a Flash Media Server and saves it on a hard drive.This sequence works fine with the standard Sorenson codec but I want to use H.264 for my videos. I found lots example c ode and implemented it in my code, but when I record a video of myself I am unable to re-watch it afterwards.I found how to implement a H.264 encoding in a realeyes blog post here. My code is here.It saves the video as a .f4v file, but my browser (I've tried the latest versions of both Chrome and Firefox, with the latest Flash) and also VLC are unable to load the video. I also used a program called Movie Player which is able to open the file but can only show the first frame and the audio. Neither am I able to upload the video to YouTube because they do not support the file extension.Here is an example video file it saved: H264Test1.f4v.My question is: How do I stream and save the movie with a file extension that I am able to re-watch while using the H.264 codec?
View 1 RepliesI am using FMS 3.5 and Flash CS3 (though using action script 2 at the mo)What I have is a simple program that records a webcam and saves the result as an FLV. - Note, I am doing all this locally, NOT over the internet or a local server. FMS is on the same PC as the program.
1) The frames per second does not seem to be fixing to 25fps, but instead seems to be around 15fps depending upon which pc I use. I'm using: cam.setMode( 320, 240, 25 ); to set the size and frame rate in flash.
2) When I get the properties for the resulting flv, it says it is using h.263 codec. Is there a way to change the codec that is used (to say h.264)? Or is this dependent on the version of flash used? ie. would creating it in flash 9 using AS3 give a better quality result?
I learned from some previous post that the default encoding format used when you publish the camera from a Flash player is Soreson. I'm wondering whether it is possible to select to use other codec such as VP2 or H.264?

View 2 RepliesI stream some h264 videos to my application in FMS3.5， the videos can be played in FMS, but don't work in the local playback, <s:VideoPlayer source="test.f4v" x="31" y="18" width="402" height="206"/>. I get some h264 videos from FMS application "vod", they work well.
View 6 RepliesI have created an swf where I can record the webcam picture as H264 video to a FMS 4.5 (I am using the developer version).My code is looking like this:
var h264Settings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
h264Settings.setProfileLevel("baseline", "1.2");[code]....
I can then replay the video from FMS just fine, but if I try to copy the video from the FMS application directory into a local project and try to play the video with the FLVPlayback component, or with the Adobe Media Player, it is not playing at all.Is this to be expected? Can't I record a webcam video with FMS in H264 and use that video later without FMS?
Same file streamed from FMS4 (same on 3.5) with rtmp protocol has very poor quality compared to real file quality. Is there some low level configuration to do on Flash Server? Is the streaming server making some kind of transcoding before sending the stream? Or it can be Flash Player? Tried unchecking "hardware acceleration" but nothing changes. I am on a local gigabit network, so no network bottlenecks. Video seems very pixelated on the edges (not soft/antialiased). These are the file details:

I've been chased a lot of things, but so far not found anything very practical, such an example that makes me understand the workings of Flash Media Server, something like transmit, share my webcam or camera!

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to use Flash's StageVideo object through the example ActionScript file in this page(http:url....), the problem is it's just showing up a black screen (no video) for live streams which are not using the H264 codec? and also it is not even throwing up a StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE event to say that it cannot play the stream. Actually it can seem to play the stream because I can hear audio but it is just unable to show up any video.
Someone commented on some other sites to check if the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" in the Flash settings is checked, and I can confirm that it is checked, again this is only happening whenever I'm viewing a non-H264 stream.Can the StageVideo be used to view live stream using screenshare codec (SVC2)? I have tried viewing H263 stream and it plays fine, only when viewing live stream using screenshare codec that I'm encountering this problem

I am trying to broadcast live video using a webcam. I am using the developer version of FMS3.0. Actually i have a working code of webcam broadcasting, which i used before. But now i am using a free version of FMS3.0. When i tried to connect, the following error is showing:
"NC.onStatus> info.code: NetConnection.Connect.InvalidAppNC.onStatus> info.code: NetConnection.Connect.Closed"
I am trying to connect with [URL]
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.
I am a Wedding/Events Photographer/VideographerOne of my client want his events be live streamed over internet, I am quiet new for this type of jobas to what Software / Hardware I have to purchase for Live Streaming of Video over Internet.. and how it will encode in realtime.?
View 8 RepliesWe purchased the Adobe Flash Media Sreaming Server 3.5.
My question is, the client wants to set the buffer to 30 seconds, so if an error is encountered the live feed feed will not be interupted.
Is this set from the Adobe client that is recording the video or is this a setting on the server?
I have Flash media server, flash media live encoder, and flash cs5.I'm gonna be using flash media live encoder to stream my desktop and webcam to my website. My current host (host gator) doesn't have rtmp enabled on their web hosting plan, only on their dedicated and vps hosting. My question is do I need to switch hosts to one that has rtmp enabled so I can stream to my website for people to view?Also, can I embed this stream into another part of my site?
View 5 RepliesI found the article titled 'Capturing live video' quite useful. This article is linked off the FMS start web page - the one that opens immediately after installing.[URL] The tutorial is better than most that I've found because it has a simple, working example. I was able to enter the code into a frame script in Flash CS5 and I used my own FMS address to connect both to a localhost and a remote server.
The sad part was that I found that I got the video and audio to round trip to and from the FMS when compiled (ctrl+enter) in the Flash CS5 program but when I try to publish this to a web page, I get audio but I can't get any video to display - neither eachoing straight from the camera or subscribing from the FMS. I've tried accessing the web page from my local file system and from a webserver. In both cases, I get audio (great news) but not video (bad news). I'm wondering why this might be. I checked warnings and errors but I'm not getting any. This solution is so simple and would pretty much solve my problems.
I'm very new to FMS and I have been experimenting around with it as a part of my job. I already have the encoder, FMS, and my AIR application all talking, so that portion is going well.The problem that I want to tackle next though is to have the FMS server record the live stream to it's hard drive. All of the guides that I've found talk about how to make a DVR stream, but that's not what I want. I want to be able to have the live stream, and then separately I would like to have it recorded.
View 1 Replieswe're planning to set up a live streaming service, one operson live streaming a video to multiple users. so no more than one channels contemporary in uplaod, and at the beginning it won't be a open broadcast service (maybe later..) we initially don't know how many can be the users. I've red that there's no theoretically limit for the maximum number of users connected with a fms, is this also valid for live streaming, or has it some limitation due to be live? is it necessary to have our fms, or is it possible (and cheaper) use a server provider?
