Media Server :: Video To Skip With FMS When Start Player After Started A Stream
Oct 11, 2010
I'm playing live stream supporting FMLE from FMS. There is no problem with playing if we are starting at first the player and then we are starting the stream with FMLE. The video skipping problem is occurs only if we are starting first the stream with FMLE and than our player.The versions: FMLE 3.0.1.5963, FMIS 4.0.0, Flash Player 10.1.53.64, and codec h.264 Is this a bug in FMS/FMLE or I'm doing something wrong?
is it possible to play video stream from non-adobe(or homebrew server), in the newest flash player(10).It looks like the VideoPlayer only plays the stream from FMS? Is it the business model of Adobe?
i'm wanting to stream video or even just load it into my flash sites and not lag them....anyway i have had a few people tell me to look at flash media server and flash comm server. i have but i am really confused with it all...WHERE DO I START?? WHAT TO KNOW?? HOW TO DO IT??? etc
I recently upgraded from FMS 2 - FMIS 3.5.Over our internal network videos stream like a dream!However, accessing them from outside our own network means that they take about 20 seconds to load, or sometimes just get a message saying the server isn't found.This wasn't a problem with the FMS2 and there have been no changes to firewall settings or anything like that since the old server was up and running without problems.I have the new server set to use exaclty the same ports, but wonder if there are some other settings which could be causing this?Networking isn't really my area of expertise, and I have no idea where to start looking to improve things.
Recently i had developed an as3 videoplayer for a section of a webpage. The player loads the links for the videos from an xml file. It had been tested locally and it works great. BUT when i uploaded the entire "site" on my web server - surprize The stream does not start. And i don't understand why. I've uploaded the exact structure ... and i also know that it reads well from the xml file, cause it loads the video thubnails and names ... just the video won't start.
when i try to live stream with FMS! I can stream video with Flash media live encoder to the server but when i create the player to recieve the livestream from server,i can not recieve the live stream,can anyone give me a step by step tutorial of how to do it?
What I'm looking to do is have a flash player that constantly plays a loop of videos, but it automatically switches to our live stream whenever we start the encoder. Is this possible, and if it is...how can I do this?
I am trying to create a flash player to stream an on online Internet radio station using FMS. I chose FMS after being told that I need RTMP server to extract the metadata. Our radio audio is being encoded using a DJ interface called SAM Broadcaster. But for some reason, it does not have an option to send over the stream directly to a Flash Media Server. Only options are either IceCAST or ShoutCAST. How should i setup the stream? Should it be Stream encoder>> IceCAST/SHOUTCast Server>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client. Or should I setup Stream Encoder>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client? Shouldn't Flash Media Server be an alternative to IceCast or Shoutcast? If that is the case, how do I send over the stream from SAM Broadcaster directly to Flash Media Server without restreaming through another streaming server?
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 am currently playing around with a flash media server trial in combination with the flowplayer.All in all i am testing the performance and general functionality for the company i work for.Anyways, i am trying to search a way to check the bandwidth of a client ( server sided ) and redirecting him to the right video stream.Sure this could be done by the backend flash application, but its out intention to perform this check server sided.
I would like to embedd into our application which is running in DirectX fullscreen player of Flash video stream protected with DRM. How can we achive it? Is it possible to buy library as for Microsoft DRM?
I have read that you can stream protected audio/video to iOS based devices with the new FMS 4.5.Is it also possible to stream protected A/V to a HTML5/JS based Player.
Is there a simple to understand (guide for dummies like me)that will give step by step instruction on how to stream live videousing FME and FMS on the same computer?
I'm totally new and in the absolute dark here. I have installed FMS on a server in the TV station in which I work. I am trying to figure out how to stream video from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder on an outside computer, back into the FMS at our station. I have no idea what the FMS URL is that I need to plug in to the Flash Media Live Encoder in order to reach the FMS back at our station.
Do I need to have something housed on an ftp site? We have a website and I can put whatever I need to there if that is indeed what I need to do. Not sure what the heck I'm doing here, but I'd LOVE to figure it out. I know it's not a lot to go on,
I have created a web application which records users video from webcam and stores.Once the user recorded his video he can previwe it.All the functionalities works good in local but not in internet.In internet when i preview the video it takes long time to play.some times it stops in the middle.Is there any way to play the video smpoothly or show a loading animation when it buffers. Here is the link to my site http:[uurl]...........
I have a problem with a project using the FLVPlayback component (the Flash CS4 version) and FMS 3.
Playing back a video works fine. When the video is finished, I hide the FLVPlayback component.
But if I have to play the same video again, the video does not immediately start from the beginning. I see a glitch with the frame the user last stopped on (whether it stopped at the end or wherever in the middle). It never re-starts from the beginning right away.
I have tried different approches to solving the issue:
- tried seekSeconds(0) - tried autoRewind = "true" - a combination of both - nulling out the stream source (result in a Runtime error) then setting it again
I have been trying to do this locally on my machine by using the download simulator but the simulator doesnt seem to work especially when I give the player a 2GB file to load over a 14kbps connection, the file seems to load within a split second and absolutely no buffering occurs.My problem below needs to be answered before I can persue and purchase and set up a web server to run FMS as a production server, but understandably I do not want to do this until I know it is possible to do what I want to do.
Let say I have put a 60min video on the server which I want to stream. But I only want to stream the last 20mins of it. Am I able to set the player to stream from the last 20mins and for there to be no progressive download required before? I need the stream to start almost immediately from the start of the last 20mins and for it to continue plaing until the remainder of the video completes So essentially I only want to load a part of the movie into a stream and disgard the part of the movie I do not want to show.
How can I tell after issuing a NetStream::play call when there is any video arrived which I can render (Video::attachNetStream)? I can see that most of that stuff is asynchronous and highly dependent on a number of variables like FMS latency, client latency and bandwidth, server load, weather etc. I however need a reliable dependent way of figuring when there is any picture to show. I administrate our service and need to monitor content people are publishing, for that I need to browse a hundre or so streams as fast as possible. What I do is I have a number of "player" streams that play a stream name (I use Administration API to get an array of these) , wait until there is picture, show it in a video object, disconnect video from stream, create new video object, play another stream, wait until picture, show it, and so on.
I found out that I can achieve a way to check whether video has arrived by NetStream::info.videoBufferByteLength, alternatively perhaps 'videoByteCount'. I cannot create a new stream for new video object, that is too much overhead, so I reuse streams. I close a stream, play new stream name, and wait until the either of the properties above is non zero. This has been working quite alright, but still occasionally I get stale data in the subsequent video objects, even when a stream is supposed to be playing new content. I need to avoid these.
So my question boils down to the already mentioned: what would be a reliable way to do what I am doing? It's just a stream of compressed data, there must be a way for Flash Player to know what is new data and what is stale data. In fact I don't think there is supposed to be stale data in a NetStream that is already playing something else! I know this is hardcore stuff, but we are pushing it :-)
I am trying to set up my video site to stream from the fms server and the instruction stated that I should create my own new folder in the application directory on the fms server, and I have created my directory, which I called brigma_streams, and I have copied files from {FMS-Install-Dir}/ sample/Application/vod to my new folder.
I created this very simple MP3-player. Which works good for most part I think, but there's one problem. If I click on the play-button and skip quickly through to the next track, while the first track wasn't even playing yet, I get to hear both songs mixed through eachother when they both finished loading. Apparently the first track was still loading. So I'm kinda wondering if there's a way to stop the load of the first MP3 stream when I skip to the next one?Here's the link to my MP3-player with 5 one minute clips of songs: http:[url].....
I'm new on FMS, but I've managed to create a web page with an embedded player that shows a live stream that I capture with a webcam and FMS. What I need is to be able to pause the live stream from the web page player and to play it again from the point I've paused it. I thought to stream a live video and save it to a file on the server as well, but I don't know how to tell the player to start from the end of the file rather than the begining of it. The client should connect to the page and see the live stream, but he can pause it and continue watching it later from that point, but if a different client connects, he should see the live stream.
I'm having some problems on some systems (seems to affect mostly 64-bit systems) where videos streamed from Flash Media Server 3.5 doesn't start from the beginning. I'm using NetStream.Buffer.Full to detect when the video starts. Usually this works ok, but sometimes the video doesn't skips a couple of seconds from the beginning even though the value of NetStream.time property is 0 when this happens.
I want to publish and record video stream in h.264 and audio stream in AAC format . Does flash player support to publish video stream in h.264 format ? And which version of flash player and FMS could implement this function ?
I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server. I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams: If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. The problem i have now is, i can't able to connect to Flash Media Server. The FMS url is as default: rtmp://localhost/live. Do i have to purchase a FMS url? How do i make sure that my FMS is running/ activated?
