Is there any extra code need for using rtmp with AS3.I have the code like this. Is that enough for rtmp or any other code needed?
var strSource:String = "rtmp://myserver.com/file.flv";
var ncConnection = new NetConnection();
var nsStream = new NetStream(ncConnection);

Know how can i get the Adobe RTMP SDK or any other SDK which implement the RTMP protocol.[url]...

View 4 RepliesWe had FMS2 installed before and the paths to all our videos are like rtmp://ServerName/sites/.... (the default path on FMS2) Now we upgrade to FMS4 and we would like to keep these paths the same because we have many HTMLs that reference these videos. However, the default path on FMS4 is rtmp://ServerName/vod/... Is there a way to change "vod" to "sites"?
I tried to change VOD_COMMON_DIR in fms.ini from /install_dir/webroot/vod to /install_dir/webroot/sites, and also changed the document root in httpd.conf, but rtmp://ServerName/sites/ is still not working.
I'm trying to understand and really pinpoint when to use progressive download vs. rtmp in flex/flash. It seems that the main point is that rtmp is not served with http, whereas progressive download is. Since it's not rtmp, the resource is protected since there is no way to connect to the rtmp server from outside the swf.
[Code]...
they would not be able to connect to rtmp. So rtmp seems to be more useful when you want to protect a resource? Is that all there is to it?
I am building a flash media player for an live audio stream. The server is set up to stream from a url that looks like so: [URL]. The instructions I have found say to first set the directory:
nc.connect("rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/ourfiledirectory");
And then later play it:
nc.play(mp3:thefilename)
This works when we have discrete filenames on the server (thefilename), but the live stream is not a file - rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/shoutcast. How in the heck do I get .play to play it?
I'm implementing the RTMP-protocol for my bachelor thesis. I got through the handshake and application connect process and received the play-command from my client which is actually a jw player.But I now stuck with the audio and video-messages. I can't find something about the exactly built-up of these messages neither in the specification nor somewhere else.What should i do with the metadata and header of the flv-file? Can I send the whole tag and audio-/video-data from my file in the RTMP-audio- and video-messages?
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 am using Wowza Media Server's webcam record capability in a project. It records the webcam feed over RTMP which is connected to via a flash file. It's all working fine, but I need to stress/load test the functionality to check how it'll scale up.

Yes, I am currently running into an issue concerning publishing settings with Flash Professional CS4. I know how to make things animated in the publish setting, but things come out like the saturation is not all there in a project. I have no clue what to choose for the options to achieve the desired effect I want. It just looks drained of color. When I import items to the stage everything looks so clear and perfect, but when I go to publish it as a .gif animated it looks so bland. I'm sure Flash users are familiar to the settings provided for the .gif tab, if not I can give a list of everything thats there. I have included a screenshot of what my dialog box looks like as well.

Our client has encountered a bizarre problem where they hear an audio feedback or some sort of "duality" when playing an F4V file through FMS. When I tested this myself, I did not encounter this issue. I'm wondering if anyone here can provide some insight as to some of the potential causes of this issue and how we can fix it. We are using
1) FLVPlayback 2.5.0.15
2) Application targets the Flash 10.0 runtime
3) We are using a standard FMS 3.5 install, videos located in the vod folder
4) Trying to playback F4V files. The samples provided by FMS also exhibit the same issue.
On another note, I built a bare-bones Flex application (SDK version 3.5.0.12683 and 3.4.0.9271) using the VideoDisplay component and it always has the duality problem. It even gets worse as I refresh the page, the echoing / multiple audio playbacks seem to compound.
Live 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.

We are attempting to transcode some video to a format suitable for our Flash Streaming Server. In the past we have used Adobe Media Encoder (AME) CS4, but we are working with *.VOB files this time, and AME CS4 does not support them. We are attempting to use Handbrake now, as it has great support for h.264 and MP4 files. Unfortunately while the files play wonderfully on our local machines, they do not stream from the Flash streaming server over RTMP. The files come out of Handbrake with a *.m4v extension. Our old files out of AME CS4 are *.MP4's with h.264 and AAC audio. I can see no differences in video or audio codecs which leads me to believe it may be a container format problem. We are attempting to use Handbrake because it does an excellent job of batch encoding files and produces good quality files.
View 1 RepliesWhat'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.)

I want to make connection to FMS (flash media server) in my android application.
if there is any way to get connected to FMS via RTMP.
I am interested in connecting my android, iOS and flash clients to a wcf service and want to push updates to my clients from the WCF service as and when events regarding the client occurs.From the google searches, i got weborb.net and flourinefx.net. But these are based on rtmp, so i cant manage push for android and iphone clients.
View 1 RepliesI bought a template but can figure out how to change a few flash settings .My website is done except for these few minor changes.To see what Im talking about go to the website main page here [url]....
1) There are two flash files, a menu and a header, in the menu when the page paods the buttons are white and turn orange when you scroll over them. Id simply like them orange when the page loads and then to turn white when you scroll over them. I can figure out how to get the scroll over to white but not the first part to getting the load orange.
2) In the header file there are several pics. Beside the pics there are scroll over buttons. Id like the first button, that says domestic contract, open when the page loads.

View 1 RepliesI have read some forums posted in here and also searched the web extensively but cannot find a clear answer or get HTTP tunneling to work with Flash Media Server 3.
Q1: Can Flash Media Server 3 be configured for RTMP and HTTP tunneling to work? The reason I need to know if this will work is due to more and more clients are reporting that videos are not playing for them and I have determined that these clients are sitting behind a firewall that has port 1935 blocked. So I would like to configure the FLV playback control to try to stream the file over RTMP and if that does not work, use HTTP.
Here is my asctionscript that I have tried to get this to work, but it does not. Some other notes are, the .FLV files live in this folder: D:AdobeFlash Media Server applicationsvodmedia The videos are recorded and then converted into .FLV files and loaded into this folder. The ultimate solution is I use a FLVPlayback control and pass the location and .FLV file name on the query string "Details.aspx?VIDEO=rtmp://216.203.12.15/vod/flv". I have pasted the object code * to show this example below the asctionscript.

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.
View 3 RepliesI've created a player for a client in the past using their LimeLight server to stream videos and not had an issue before, however for a new client using different LimeLight server, the videos seem to be ending 3-4 secs too early.
My traces on 3 vastly different videos I tested:
metadata duration = 32 // 32 secs long, ends at 27
Stop [27.350 seconds] = 4.65
metadata duration = 17 // 17 secs long, ends at 12
Stop [12.852 seconds] = 4.148
metadata duration = 258 // 258 secs long, ends at 255
Stop [255.861 seconds]
In the video players I check for NetStream.Play.Stop then put a 'reset' type function in there. This function however triggers too early due to this strange bug. Has anyone have seen this before?
private function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{
trace("connected is: " + nc.connected );
[Code].....
The only work-around I see for this is saving the initial number I get from the metadata duration, and running a timer to constantly check for when the current ns.time matches metadata and then run my reset function.
Quick question - I have the following setup:
(1) An ec2 instance with an SWF on it - this SWF plays streaming video - i.e. is a video player like JWPlayer
(2) A streaming video distribution set up via Cloudfront
If I stream the the video via RTMP from Cloudfront to the SWF (which is on ec2) - would I incur charges for data transfer into the server (i.e. for data being read by the SWF) and out of the server (i.e. for data being displayed by the SWF to the user) on account of streaming the video to users (assuming that data transfer into and out for the server is being charged for)?
Here is my problem: We are broadcasting sportevents live to the internet via flash media encoder.At the event locations we mostly have just 2 mbit upstream. So at the moment we are streaming with about 1mbit rate.But we need also streams for mobile-devices and a stream for users without fast internet. So we want 2 more streams with lower-bitrates,but we can't get this through the 2mbit...I am looking for a solutiuon which can transcode about a 1mbit(and may be in the future a 1.5mbit) livestream in to two (or more)lower-bitrate streams.The solution should be scalable,because sometimes we have 7 events at one day on different locations,so there could be 7 input-streams.I've searched the net for hardware transcoders, but didn't find a stable solution and I've tested also transcoding with ffmpeg, but it seems to get problems with timing and key-frames for bitrate switching.

Yes correct I'm talking about Flash Player 11, thats what it says in Flash CS5 software. Whatever I do in Publish Setting, Flash software always returns option to be Flash Player 11, I don't get this. I choose Flash Player 8 and AS 2.0 and re-open Publish Settings it is again back on Flash Player 11 and AS 3.0.
