What's the best way to check whether there is video data (or not) in a live RTMP stream? For example, if a broadcast terminates, can I auto-detect that condition, to perform some sort of "thank you for watching" behavior?Also, how can I know if a visitor somehow gets disconnected from the Internet during the broadcast? (So I can notify the visitor of the problem, and give instruction.)
View 1 RepliesLive streaming and a buffer on a NetStream do not mix. Why? The docs don't say you can't do this.The playback gets hosed. Buffer is supposed to fill to what you set it to before playing. Instead though, about half the time, the player starts playing right away and disregards the buffer time you've set. Then you get caught in short buffering and rebuffering cycles that degrades the playback experience.
Give it a shot yourself. Here is the simplest of live streaming video players. No frills. Just connect it to your live stream by changing the defaultURL string and stream name in the ns.play() statement.
Run it in Flex debug mode. It will check and print the ns.bufferLength property every second. The buffer is set to 20 secs currently. Last time I ran it, I never made it above 2 seconds in the buffer. Player started playing right away instead of buffering the full 20 secs first. Sometimes you get to the full 20 and sometimes not.

I know this stream works because of two reasons:
1) It works OUTSIDE of OSMF
2) It works in the akamai support player: [URL]. I don't believe the current akamai support player is using OSMF (which is suprising since they built the predecessor to osmf..)
My question is: How in the world do I play a live stream in osmf? This should be very simple if not automatic. However, I'm getting the following error when I try to play a working live stream:
Error: Stream not found
Which is a bunch of garbage since a non-OSMF player can play it. I have the Akamai Basic Streaming plugin which doesn't seem to be working either.
Is it possible to live stream both RTMP and HLS with FMS 4.5?
I want flash users to have the least latency possible using RTMP, and iOS users use HLS.
I'm trying to stream live video for the first time. I've installed FMIS 3.5 without Apache 2.2. I'm confused on the RTMP/HTTP protocol usage,I can only have port 80 opened on our FMIS 3.5 box.

Somebody I know can't watch because they have a proxy server.The nc.connect() call to get the live stream fails because it goes direct from AS3 to FMS and doesn't go through the proxy server.

View 1 RepliesI can stream video RTMP just fine in JW Player by LongTail Media. The Pause seems to work, however using Windows 7's Resource Monitor I can see that the player continues to download data when the video is paused, it downloads for about 60 seconds (and does not seem to be longer for longer videos). I have found the same using the examples on longtailmedia's website, so I know it is not something I have done.
I want a way to pause the video and have it stop downloading, this will save us lots of bandwidth. But also have it continue where it left off if play is pressed again.
I checked the logs on our wowza media server, which indicates that the player actually waits 60s before it sends the pause command to the server.
LongTail's support say that the pause functionality uses the built in NetStream class and its behaviour is out of their control.
I have tested flowplayer online examples, and a couple of Adobe / OSMF examples and they all continue to download for 60 seconds after the video is paused.
A way to get this working in JW player would be best, but Are there any flash players that will stop downloading while paused?
If this is not possible with RTMP are there any technologies that will do this with a flash player?
I'm looking for a way to stream video from the desktop to an FMS installation. I know that in ActionScript, it's possible to do:

Usually, flash streaming is done by capturing webcam video/audio and streaming using NetConnection and other objects to servers like FMS,Red5,Wowza etc.I haven't found any example on how to create your own stream of images and stream as a video to the server.I know it would be possible to convert the image to bytes and send via SharedObjects. Then decode on server and create a video file on the server (e.g. using ffmpeg), but I would rather do it in realtime on the client side if possible.

I'm having a problem with recording a live webcam stream. The last few seconds of the stream is getting cut off.
The recording is stopped with the following piece of code:
vid.attachCamera(null);
vid.clear();
ns.attachCamera(null);
ns.attachAudio(null);
ns.pause();
What could be causing this? Is the stream cut off too soon? Is the client unable to send buffered data to the server?

View 1 RepliesI have some questions regarding 4.5 and deciding which version we must license (FMIS or FMS). Obviously there is a huge price difference and as this is within a local network we don't require encryption or multicast. Here is the scenerio we need to stream live DVR to mac, windows browser AND iPhone/iPad and devices running Android 2.2(Froyo)+. I need someone from Adobe to help us decide.
1. I see DVR is now listed as a feature in Flash media server page. Does that mean its no longer exclusive to Flash Media Interactive server. For both http streaming and RTMP?
2. Previously in order to stream live to Adobe dynamic streaming, Flash media interactive server was required because a live segmenter had to be used. Is this still the case? Or can we just launch adobe live media encoder (FLME) and stream to flash media server.3. Related to #2 can we switch between serving streams via RTMP or dynamic streaming without changing the format of the material on disk?4.I was at a webcast for 4.x and remember being told that the latency for http live dynamic streaming was 20 seconds because of the repackaging that had to take place. Is this still true? What is the latency for iOS playback from ingest to playback?5. For the iOS playback feature do the streams have to be in Adobe dynamic streaming format or can we just stream via FLME RTMP and trust it to do the right thing?6. Does the iOS playback support DVR?7. Does the Android plugin have good support for RTMP live streaming including DVR?

I'm trying to stream an audio clip via rtmp in as2. I'm not particularly attached to the method, but this is the starting point I am at below:

var s:Sound = new Sound();
var req:String = "rtmp://path/filename"; //doesn't work
var req:String = "[URL]"; //This works
s.loadSound(req, true);
I need to get an RTMP audio stream working, does anyone have any experience with this? (Also not sure if this goes in the actionscript folder or the sounds folder.
In order to play a FMS stream (live or on demand), either an FLVPlayback component or the Video class is needed.And they require ActionScript 3 and Flash 8 or above.
As far as i know , Youtube, Dailymotion and Google Video stream their on demand videos from a FMS, and their players are compatible with Flash 7.
How can they achieve this? If Youtube, Google and Dailymotion do that, i deduce it's possible..
I tried to create a Flash 7 application that plays a video coming from FMS, using a MediaDisplay component, but it doesn't work well. Sometimes it shows the video, sometimes not.So i don't think youtube player uses MediaDisplay..
