So I built a videochat client that uses the adobe stratus protocol. Its very simple and just connects two users. However, after about a minute of video chatting the clients freeze and the browser crashes.what might have caused this? Is there some sort of cache that I need to clear every so often or a possible memory leak? I am not sure where to start

I have a clip where, on my main timeline, there's a bunch of eventlisteners. It freezes & crashes flash all the time... tho the exported swf file runs smooth. Im removing them when the playhead reaches a different frame, adding new ones at that frame as well.
View 12 RepliesAm building a video chat application and i was wondering if there are any native events for the NetStream that fire,that can help in detecting when a remote client starts/stops streaming video over his outgoing stream (NetStream) to which the other client has subscribed over P2P/RTFMP in AS3 ?I maybe able to dispatch custom messages since the two clients are already connected, but i don't want to add the extra overhead.
View 1 RepliesI have a Net Stream object that I am using to stream video from an Amazon Flash Media Streaming service.The video makes a connection and plays fine but randomly it seems to just freeze and the only way to get it to work again is to re-establish the connection. I have tried to put other videos in that amazon bucket as well and they seem to play fine. this happens when it is in .FLV form and .mp4 format.
I have set the buffer time to be 5 seconds and i watch the output of the buffer to see the % of full it is. when the problem occurs the buffer 5 goes from 100 to 0 and then it throws a Buffer fail error (i'm using OVP framework).I have come to the conclusion that it is either a video encoding problem or perhaps there is a firewall issue that blocks the data from getting through.
I've build a live video/audio chat application. All works fine only the issue is latency of 5 secs. I'm using FMS 3.5 and FLEX.
View 1 RepliesI've got an animated banner for my site which I've grown quite attached to. It's a scene of the sky with the Title of my site on it and there are clouds that move constantly across it.Now the tricky part and part that I think might be freezing up the browser (firefox) is that the background changes depending on your computers time.So if you visit my site and the time is past 6:00PM, the day background will change to night.It's not an instant change though. You actually have to refresh to get it to change. Anyway, if I let the site/banner sit in my browser as either the active tab or the non-active tab for at least 10 minutes, the whole browser will freeze up. The only way to stop it from freezing up is to close it and restart it.I don't know what I did wrong, but I was hoping you guys could tell me. The file size is not that big (262kb). The images were converted from .jpg to vector, so I can't see why it'd be too graphic intensive. Basically I'd just like to be able to run it at the current resolution and quality, but not have it crash people's browsers.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to implement a simple NetStream video player with Progressive Video, but for some reason the video is taking about 12-13 seconds to begin buffering...I don't get it. If you check this link, you can see the buffer progress, you can see that it sits at 0 for >10s, until finally starting to buffer, at which point it finishes very quickly.

We are building a multiplayer flash game using actionscript 3. The game is supposed to work in real-time.
We have an issue where if ou minimize the game client, it freezes- I can see this by previewing the minimized window, my character which is supposed to walk across the room has frozen. This causes a real-time issue because anything happening while a players client is minimized will be missed...
Does anyone know why the flash client would stop/freeze when minimized, and if there is a way to prevent this?
I have performance issues with my test web chat app - video playback is very slow on, around 1 frame per few seconds at 640x480, 15fps, quality: 90. Network usage is low (gigabit LAN), cpu's still have some headroom so it should be the software.
Quick description of my setup:red5 0.9.1; simple flash broadcast and subscribe derived from here [URL] and mr. accattato's videos; using oflaDemo on serverside.
Local image on the broadcaster is good.So far I guess flash broadcaster would be the most likely culprit, but here is my worst since I am new to flex. Red5 should not modify the stream I guess, and it doesn't make much sense for the subscriber to play only 1 frame per second.
I am trying to create a simple chat server. I have installed red5 server i need to know do i have to make a red5 server myself or all i have to do is connect flex with my red5 server and if so how.
View 1 RepliesLooking for a component which can be embedded inside my site (PHP, ASP.NET...whatever) and give a support for video chat. I'm not a flex developer and would like to use a component. There are some/many video chats available, like flashcoms, red5chat...but all of those are heavy(monolit) components.
What I would like to have on my site is just a small video showing output from my camera (me) and another video showing the other party...but those videos should be split, not in the same flash component, but separate (two different EMBED tags on my page).
Are there any components available to do that (of course with support from appropriate media server)? Are there any good guides on how to develop such a component?
Currently we are in the design phase of an application that will allow two users to communicate with each other using chat and video (with audio), the application is a web application that currently is a java web app with Spring and hibernate, but we want to incorporate video and chat between two users and we are evaluating the options to developing it, so far we have two choices, either develop a Flex UI that leverages its video and chatting capabilities through Red5 or something like that and communicates with the Spring app using BlazeDS or a completely java based approach using (maybe) JMF and/or applets to achieve the video and chat interaction. The question is, which would be the most scalable approach to develop such an application?, what would be the approach that is the least intrusive from the end user perspective?
View 2 RepliesI have created a video chat room by FMS/Flex. what I need to do is:
If everybody in one chat room can use rtmfp, we go with rtmfp if anybody in the chat room disabled his rtmfp, we go with rtmp.
Now I need to create a logic to decide if everybody can use rtmfp between each other, Is there a good way to do so?
I'm considering writing a flash client using sockets to connect to a chat server that I've already written in C#. Unfortunately I don't have any AS experience so was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction (to tutorials or the like for socket connections etc).
View 4 RepliesI want to create an extremely simple chat where any client can log into this webpage, two windows, one to enter text and the other to see messages. Very irc-like. How do I resolve the communication? In Director there was the multiuser server that let you talk among swfs, is there something similar in Flash MX? Or should I resort to php/mysql as the only way to go?
View 1 RepliesI'm developing an application and i want to make one single connection for video(netstream) and chat(sharedObject).I have one connection for each but i have limited connection available in the server so i need to make a single connection to handle the video net stream and chat sharedObject.I use this urls to connect:
private var serverWebcamURL:String = "rtmp://myserverIP/live";
private var serverChatURL:String = "rtmp://myserverIP/multicast/chat";
I'm trying to make a simple video chat using Flex framework and red5 server. It's an application with 2 video displays. With connection to the server more or less figured out. However, I do not understand how to transfer user1 stream to user2.
Here is functions i use to transfer webcam image to the server and to get the stream.

Is it possible to stop a (live) Stream from playing for a user, but keep his NetConnection open for eg chat functionality?I only see a setBandwidthLimit to accomplish something similar to this, but then, if BW is set to 0, chat won't work.Why isn't there a built in feature to do something of seemingly common necessity like Client.stream.stop/change function to stop or change what video playback the client sees?
View 2 RepliesI had an flv recording from a webcam.It mostly recorded fine, but there's one point where I paused the broadcast for an intermission.A few minutes later the broadcast started again but the video doesn't play beyond that point, only audio plays.A few minutes later in the recording the broadcast switched to another camera and the video starts playing again just fine from there.I can't seek past the frozen point either to skip a couple of seconds ahead.The freeze is at about 9:00.If I seek to 9:01 it jumps ahead 8 minutes to where the camera switches.What's strange in this is that the video is *definitely* in the file.Using Moyea's FLV Editor Pro I converted the FLV to an MPEG and the whole video is there, so it's not that the camera stopped transmitting, it's just that the playback isn't working.
View 2 RepliesI've got a feature-heavy video player for a client that needs to do pretty much EVERYTHING that flash video can do. Included in the to-do list is bandwidth sniffing for dynamic video switching, which I've managed to make happen using SimpleClient, a custom netstream client class that can pump out the the users bandwidth(see below). The problem with this client is that it didn't include an onMetaData function that can give me all the stats on the streaming flv. In short, does anyone know how to add that functionality to the following .as file? Or, perhaps, does someone have a netstream client that DOES have all the bells and whistles?

How to send a video data stream from one side written by java to another side written by flex and then display it? I just know that on flex one method is to use netstream class get the real-time video stream and bind with a videodisplay to display it. But which class I should use to send this video stream in java and which class I need to use in flex to receive this flow and pass it to the NetStream class?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to add a custom callback handler to a NetStream client in a p2p application. The problem is, when I add such a handler, the NetStream Client doesn't function as it did before. It seems the NetStream.client object is changed. I know the default object is this. But changing the client to this doesn't solve the problem.The remoteControlStream, is the incoming stream. And the localControl stream is the stream being publishedThis is the localControlStream that's being send by the peer, and received as remoteControlStream:
private function initLocalControlStream():void{
localControlStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
localControlStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, localControlHandler);
localControlStream.publish(myPeerID+"control");[code]...
The onPeerConnect method of the localControlStream doesn't get called when I connect when the above handler is added. When I remove the that handler, the onPeerConnect method gets called.
Is there a particular reason that when you stream a video your _netStream.time will misreport the elapsed time of the stream? I've tested streaming vs progressive download and discovered that while progressive netStream.time seems spot-on accurate the streaming netStream.time is behind the actual running time of the flv.
In other words, the video has played to completion and stopped, but the seek bar has only progressed 85% of the way through on a stream.
Is this something to do with the sample rate of the video, or some other encoding issue?

I'm trying to create a simple application that streams the webcam to FMS 4.5 (running on a Windows 7 machine), and then displays the published stream locally. Here's my code:
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.media.Video;
import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
[Code]...
All traces in the event handlers show the NetConnection connecting successfully, and the netstream publishing successfully. However, I get no video output from this. I've confirmed this using the sample video player in FMS 4.5 as well. There is also a weird traffic pattern reported in the FMS Admin console.There is some traffic (~4K) when the NetStream first publishes, but after that there is no activity.
obtain the time (by functions similar to getSeconds) of the server the flash file is hosted on, instead of the client who is viewing the movie?
Thing is, I have a very simple clock that displays the time in New Zealand (where I will be going), but it only display the time correctly for GMT+1 right now. If a client from New Zealand or US connects, they will see the wrong time :/
So right now i use:
Code:
newtime = timedate.getSeconds() + 3600*11;
timedate.setSeconds(newtime);
I have a flv which is in the same root folder as my exe. I have a navigation bar which takes me to the specific point in the timeline where the video is. Once the video comes up it plays for 1 second and then freezes. If I manually scrub the timeline past that point the video will continue and loop as intended, but right off the bat everytime the video freezes?
I'm at a complete stand still, Have tried reinstalling flash player, tried installing old versions of Flash player, nothing seems to fix it.
