Buffering of Live Stream

Hey guys, I noticed whenever my FME's connection to the FMS
get laggy, the FME seems to buffer the stream. The streaming
service hence becomes 'not live' as the users watch events that
happened minutes ago. Is there any settings that I can apply to
either the FMS or FME to prevent this? Currently, the only solution
I could use is to stop the FME streaming and restart it, flushing
out the buffered data.

I have the same problem but from the client side. Everytime
network condition gets crappy and jittery between Flash Player
application and Flash Media Server "something" significantly
increases buffering. By saying "something" I mean I am not sure
what exactly causes it, either it's the client side or the server
side. But the result is a severely delayed audio stream, could be
more than a minute. I opened a ticket with Adobe, no solution has
been provided yet

Live streaming event is not streaming, only buffering

http://www.adobe.com/uk/events/create-now-tour/?promoid=KNNXM
is the link to the live streaming event from Adobe World Tour. I am in North Yorkshire. The streaming is not working. It is buffering all the time.
I missed the whole bit about lightroom, and I am appauled that Adobe does not stream with a working stream...
Who can do something about this? Of course it is now 20.10 in the evening, the event started at 19 PM... I have been able to watch maybe 5 minutes...
Nobody there at Adobe UK and the chatagent was useless as well...

hi mate,
WP does not support Adobe Flash and even Android has stopped supporting it so theres nothing you can do abnout this excpet perhaps stream it on a PC with flash player installed.

Start/stop/restart live stream - do stream files need to be removed first?

When streaming a live event if something happens and we need to stop our encoder and then restart it again.
Do we need to delete the stream files created in the 'application/event/' directory and also delete the f4f stream,bootstrap, etc... files too?
If we don't delete the stream files before restarting the live stream. It will only play about 10 seconds of the stream then just hang buffering.
What is causing this?
My application log shows no access when I restarted the stream.

Thanks,

I have a similar issue like Mr Dave explained. If need to stop, start, stop and restart again, the encoder is sending, but in player not shows nothing. Then we need to stop and disconnect in encoder, and remove the stream file in /event and the cache files in livestream folder for after then restart the streaming. Only after this action, the streaming works fine and the streaming shows again in player.
Have other way to solve this issue without need all that actions? Note that I use the Adobe FME to live streaming and encoding in HDS http streaming
I hope for a help
Thanks

Clearing application buffer after a live stream ends

Hi there, I'm sure this has been asked and answered a million times, but searching for "application" "buffer" "cache" "live" and "hls" isn't giving me any answers, so let's get to it...
After I end a live stream (which I do using FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5) and I then start a new live stream with the same application name, the HLS stream just loops the last 30 seconds of the old stream. To prevent this, after I end a stream, I have to go to applications\livepkg\streams\_definst_\ and delete the buffered data there. Only then can I start a new stream with the same name as the old stream. Now... that can't be normal, can it? Is there a switch somewhere I can set to tell FMS to cut it out and stop buffering old streams?
Thanks,
Raul

You can use "record" mode rather than default mode of "append". You just need to publish using streamname - livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record.
Though "append" should also work - can you let me know what do you see in FMS core logs / application logs. Also are you changing encoding settings when you republish/restart?

Videoplayer.html not able to http live streaming

I am using XSplit to feed live streaming to AMS 5.0 with "RTMP URL as rtmp://localhost/livepkgr" and "Stream name as: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent".
By using videoplayer.html from AMS, ok to "rtmp://ams-ip-or-dns/livepkgr/livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent" to retrieve live traffic very fast.
Then, when I changed to use HTTP as "
http://ams-host-ip-dns/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m". It only show "Buffering ..." and could not see anything.
</body
Tested with VOD. no problem when "rtmp://ams-host-ip-dnsvod/mp4:sample_720p_5m.mp4" or "http://10.40.102.91/hds-vod/sample_720p_5m.mp4.f4m"

you need to record the file in mp4 file format to save H264 packets. steram recorded without any file format will get recorded in FLV which will discrad H264 packets.
so code should be like this:
so when you inititalize the stream variable please mentione mp4: before stream name as
s=Stream.get("mp4:stream_record.mp4")
s.play(incoming_stream_from_FMLE);
s.record;

How does HTTP live streaming support subtitles?

Our app currently is on HTTP Live Streaming and everytime we scrub (fast forward or rewind) or if with low connection (buffering), the subtitle gets off-sync. Videos are segmented into 10 seconds so when you scrub, it jumps back to the nearest start of segment and when it does, it does not provide the exact and correct current playback time so we can't accurately compute for the offset, thus subtitle gets off synch.
Our one solution is to use ID3 tagging when we encode our videos so we know exactly the time when segments starts. Unfortunately, there are not much encoding system that uses this yet.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, QTSS doesn't support HTTP Live Streaming. I wonder why Apple did not implement QTSS in Snow Leopard Server.
However, Helix Universal Server from Real can do the trick.

HTTP Live streaming test in Flash Player, HTML5 player, iphone, android and other smart phones.

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how can I play http live streaming from FMLE 3.2 to Flash player, iphone, ipdad, HTML5 player, Android and other devices?
I have tried my best to play live streaming usine FMLE 3.2 with help of "http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html" but not able to play video using HTTP.
When I tried to play url- "http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" even in in Strobe Media Player it was showing "Buffering" that's it. But I can play same RTMP URL in Flash AS3 using the netstream very fine.
Now I want to test the livepkgr content via HTTP to Flash Player, HTML5 Player (on Web browser and smartphones), iphone and other devices.
Thanks
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Hi Sunil,
It's difficult to debug an issue when you don't have access to the machine and you can't see what's happening, so I request you to please have a little patience.
For playback just check the following steps and make sure if you have followed them :
1) Delete the streams folder and any .stream file in the livepkgr
2) Restart FMS
3) Make sure you have a crossdomain.xml under root_install/webroot
4) Publish a stream from FMLE as 'livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent'
5) Use this player to playback the stream : http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.html?src=http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
If there is no playback, here are some checks you can do :
1) Request for the http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m in your browser. You should receive an xml that looks something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
     <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
          <id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id>
                  <mimeType />
          <streamType>live</streamType>
          <duration>0</duration>
          <bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap7158" />
          <media streamId="livestream" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap7158">
                      <metadata>AgAKb25NZXRhRGF0YQgAAAAAAAhkdXJhdGlvbgBAJUUeuFHrhQAFd2lkdGgAQHQAAAAAAA=</m etadata>
            </media>
</manifest>
2) Check the access log under Apache to see if the .f4m, .bootstrap and Frag files have been requested and delivered. If a particular entry has a status code of 200 then the file has been served by FMS. You can confirm the same on the client side using a software like fiddler.
Coming to the player issue, a playback of *f4v via the vod directive is a progressive download, whereas playback of an *f4m file via hds-vod is HTTP streaming.
I have personally used Spark VideoPlayer and hence suggested the same.
You need to add a component like :
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="30%" chromeColor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000"
                 fontSize="12"
                 source="http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m"
                    symbolColor="#000000"/>
Let me know if any of these suggestions help.
Thanks,
Apurva

Live Streaming/broadcasting and latency

Hi,
Can any one of you provide me with details on how much is
latency experienced when live video and audio is streamed using FME
+ FMS + FP.
Ex: A 256 kbps streaming.
Does FME , FMS and FP uses buffering concept? if so, how can
that be tweaked to deliver the live video with reduced latency. Is
it possible to achieve a latency of less or equal to 1 second and
how.
We are using Web Cam, Windows Media Server, Windows Media
Encoder and Windows Media Player to achieve the live streaming of
events. But we end up having a latency of 8 to 15 seconds (in LAN).
This is the major challenge we are facing. We are trying to
find out if FME, FMS and FP can overcome the issues being faced.
TIA,
Mohith

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the information.
What will be the latency in second, from the point of
capturing till the end user viewing in the FMP, over the internet.
In some article i had seen the information which said that
having 2 seconds of buffering would be appropriate for the end user
to have acceptable limit (performance and quality) for viewing.
Having said 2 seconds of buffering configured, it will sure
add 2 seconds of latency.
This for sure is acceptable if there is no user action to be
expected (Ex: Telecasting of live sports event).
Whereas for senarios like live auctions(of paintings) on the
internet where participants can be present at the auction location
as well as taking part in the auctioning through internet, every
second of latency counts.
your thoughts.
Regards,
Mohith

Hi,
Just move your image display control inside the while loop.
Also don't forget to create image buffers to feed your vision functions... Otherwise you may have some strange behavior.

MediaPlayer.state - playing state not reported for live stream

I am listening for the MEDIA_PLAYER_STATE_CHANGE event on mediaPlayer to control the display of a buffering graphic. When playing back a recorded video I catch a mediaPlayer.state equal to "buffering" followed by a state equal to "playing". However, when playing back a Live stream I get the "buffering" state but never see the "playing" state. The Live video is playing but the change event appears to not be sent.
Both videos are streaming from FMS.
Has anyone else seen this? Please let me know if there are additional details you would like to know to help track this down.
Regards,
- michael

Thanks Michael for reporting this problem, a bug is already filed for this issue. You can listen to PLAY_STATE_CHANGE on PlayEvent with Live Stream as a workaround until bug is fixed.

Live stream on FMS issues when reaching 1600 concurrent users

Hey all,
We have an FMS 4.5.2 installation with 1x Origin and 2x Edge setup only for Live streaming. We are using FMLE latest version to stream to the Origin server and Edge servers are connecting to the Origin server. We are running four applications stream1, stream2, stream3 and stream4 all for live streaming (copied live) application. All servers have default configuration except edge/origin setup.
All servers have 4Gbit connections in bonding and network traffic is nicely distributed across all bonds and uplink is 10Gbit to the ISP.
Server is a 2 CPU / Quad Core HP DL 380 with 64Gbit of memory running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Now to the problem.
We are streaming live stream from FMLE with 700kbit/s to for example stream1 application and when we hit around 1600 concurrent users with 50% on edge1 and 50% on edge2 (800 concurrent users on each edge) in the player buffer drops and all people experience buffering issues at approx 30secs - 2minutes intervals. (network is not congested because if at that time do an SCP from the server outside network it copies 1Gbyte file within seconds.
Funny thing is that If I start a second FMLE and stream live stream to for example stream2 application at same time and open up second player on client the video runs great without any buffer issues from the same server at the same time.
edge1 server:
application: stream1 with 800 concurrent users, player has buffer issues
application: stream2 with 4 concurrent users, player has no issues
edge2 server
same as above
So my current conclusion is that it has to be something per application since other application does not have this issues when running simultaneously? We tried changing fmscore number settings and some buffer settings but nothing helped.
at the time when we get buffering issues this are the only problematic things that get in the log and its in edge.00.log on both EDGE servers but not at same times:
Edge1:

there is no packet loss between edge and origin servers and latency is at 0.2ms and nothing in the logs of the origin server
We even tried to deploy Wowza Medis Servers with edge / origin setup and were able to handle around 4000 (2000 on one and 2000 on second edge) concurrent users without any issues.
Anyone has any ideas or at least what are our next options to do and what settings to change on the FMS? or how to debug and what to check when buffering issue appears? any more debugging we can enable on the FMSs? too se if we hit some kind of limit somewhere?
thanks

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Doubt regarding HTTP Live Streaming for windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a Windows phone 8.1 silverlight app.
I want to add live streaming youtube channel , thats why I used https://phonesm.codeplex.com/ this link as a reference , and I am able to play the links given in the samples, but I am unable to play my link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2GF-QQS6n0
I am getting 3108 unable to play media error with my link,
My question Is there any need of streaming server ?
If yes can anyone help how to create the streaming server.
Thanks....
Suresh.M

Hi Suresh.M
As I can see a similar question on the Windows Phone Streaming Media discussion:
https://phonesm.codeplex.com/discussions/545737
You may need check into the call stack and find out what is the root cause, for instance if there any chance that your phone cannot reach to the video address, and did you enable some network capabilities, etc.

HDS live streaming to Flash not working

Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.5 r4013
Windows 2008
Sources:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/live-multi-bitrate-video-http-flas h-ios.html
Live streaming a single or multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash does not work. I have followed the instructions on the 2 sources listed above repeatedly, but I can’t get live streaming over HTTP to Flash to work. Live streaming to iOS over HTTP works with no problems (single and multi-bitrate streams).
I have tried the troubleshooting steps from the following:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12efac195bd -8000.html
Troubleshoot live streaming (HTTP)
1.      Services window (Windows): Flash Media Server (FMS), Flash Media Administration Server, and FMSHttpd services are running. ✓
2.      Verified that the request URL is correct. ✓
3.      Configured ports:
a.      Configure Apache to use port 80. Open rootinstall/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor. Change the line Listen 8134 to Listen 80.
b.     Configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80. Open rootinstall/conf/fms.ini in a text editor. Remove 80 from the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT parameter so the parameter looks like the following: ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935 ✓
4.      Placed a crossdomain.xml file to the rootinstall/webroot directory. ✓
5.      In Flash Media Live Encoder, select the Encoding Options tab, choose Output from the Panel options menu, and verify the following:
a) The value of FMS URL is rtmp://fms-dns-or-ip/livepkgr. If you’re testing on the same server as Flash Media Server, you can use the value localhost for fms-dns-or-ip. ✓
b) For a single stream, the value of Stream is livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
c) For adaptive bitrate streaming, the value of Stream is livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
Flash Media Live Encoder uses this value to create unique stream names. To use another encoder, provide your own unique stream names, for example, livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent, livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent.
The encoder is showing all 3 streams being published and streaming.
6. Check Administration Console: the livepkgr application and the 3 streams are running. ✓
7. Check the logs for errors. Flash Media Server logs are located in the rootinstall/logs folder. The master.xx.log file and the core.xx.log file show startup failures. Apache logs are located in the rootinstall/Apache2.2/logs folder. X
a)   core00.log: these errors did not occur every time that I tried playing the live stream but these are the only relevant errors in the logs.
1. 7968 (w)2611179     Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream2] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message

2.     [warn] bootstrap path is in event file is empty for event:livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent stream name:livestream1
As I mentioned, everything works on iOS and FMS seems to be creating all of the stream segments and meta files:
a.     The 3 streams are being created in: HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_
b.    FMS is creating the following files in each stream folder (livestream1, livestream2, livestream 3):
1. livestream1.bootstrap
2. livestream1.control
3. livestream1.meta
4. .f4f segments
5. .f4x segments
The appropriate files are also being created in the HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent folder, in which I have the following Manifest.xml and Event.xml files:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">

I’ve tried clearing the contents of both streams\_definst_ and events\_definst_\liveevent (keeping the xml files) after restarting the encoder, and creating a different event definst for the streams (liveevent2 for example).
We have an event in 2 weeks that we would like to stream to both Flash and iOS. Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

One step closer:
Changed the crossdomain.xml file (more permissive settings).
Changed the encoding on FMLE to vp6. Working somewhat (don't know what I did to make it start streaming through hds).
But at least now I can get the individual streams in the set manifest file to work:
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream1.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream2.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream3.f4m
BUT when I try to play the streams through the set manifest file from http://localhost/liveevent.f4m I'm getting the following error:
"The F4m document contains errors URL missing from Media tag." I'll search the forums to see if anyone else has come across this problem.
I used the f4m config tool to make the file. These are the file's contents:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
<media href="livestream1.f4m " bitrate="200"/>
<media href="livestream2.f4m " bitrate="500"/>
<media href="livestream3.f4m " bitrate="1000"/>
</manifest>
Thanks

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx
