Creating an audio-only stream from a live stream

I am using Flash Media Live Encoder (3.2) to send multiple bitrate streams to an instance of Adobe Media Server 5. In addition to the video streams, I am trying to generate an audio-only stream.
I am using the default 'livepkgr' application. The input stream contains H.264 video + AAC audio.
The stream name that I set in FMLE is set to this:
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe- audio-stream-src=livestream1
I created a variant playlist to include the audio-only stream. It looks like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=150000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=500000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=700000
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream3.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=64000,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_only.m3u8
However, when I retrieve the audio-only playlist it contains a list of .ts files. If it was working correctly I would expect there to be a list of .aac files. Here's an extract from the playlist (livestream1_audio_only.m3u8):
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1927
#EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE:NO
#EXT-X-VERSION:2
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:8
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1927.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1928.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1929.ts
#EXTINF:8,
../../../../hls-live/streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1_audio_onlyNum1930.ts
Any ideas why it doesn't seem to be working?
Thanks

Hi
No !
You first have to back-engineer the DVD to something the Mac can use eg StreamingDV
(I use Roxio Toast™ to do this) then convert this via QuickTime to .aiff 16-bit 44.1 kHz
then burn this onto a CD via eg iTunes.
An Analog copy from a DVD-player to the Mac Line-in and into an audiuo editor as Audacity (free on internet) then use this for the CD is easier and about as good as. (I can't differ)

I cannot watch live stream from NBC live extra using Safari

Hi, I have a macbook pro with mountain lion, safari v6.0 and google chrome v21.0.1180.57.
I cannot watch live stream on nbc live extra in safari, it gave me a black screen, however, I copy the same link and paste in chrome I could watch the live stream with no problem. I checked several threads but still didn't work out.
Can some one tell me why and how to make it work?
Thanks,
Tianyi

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac."
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

How do I create a variable video delay of a live stream...

I have a live video feed from my webcam in my Flash Application. I have a second video window next to it that I want to place a variable delayed video of the live stream. Therefore, I need to save the video stream in memory/disk and create this variable delay, say 5-60 seconds. As well as, continue to capture the live stream. The camera I am using suppots H.264 encoding.
How do I create a variable length queue or buffer to hold the video stream coming into the flash application. Do I create a memory variable or write this to disk ? I have been looking over the ActionScript 3.0 documentation and I can not figure out how to code this either way ( as a memory variable or write to disk queue ).
I want to be able to change the delay, view the delay stream in slow motion and scrub through the delayed stream.
I would like to do this with out having to use Flash Media Server.
Thanks,
Bob

I am sure it is practically impossible to accomplish that on the client side. Although theoretically it is conceivable to use NetStream.appendBytes() but it requires an extremely complex implementation.
I suggest you look into FMS DVR capacities:

Audio only playback from a menu page

Hello experts
I want to have one menu page that plays back 12 separate audio files. My assets are encoded (ac3 audio from compressor) I have 12 buttons on my page, when I go to set the asset to that button the audio file doesn't show up in the list, but it is in my asset list and I can preview it. Does an audio only file have to have some sort of visual associated with it? Or can I have a menu page with 12 track kinda like a visual CD player?
Help please!
Brian

Hi Brian - you need to have video involved somewhere on your disc. Without it you won't be able to build and format.
What you can do is create a still image for each audio track and show that as the track is playing (drop it into the video timeline and stretch it to the end of the audio). You could also just use a piece of black slug if you don't want any visual.
That way you can link your menu buttons to a track and just hear the resulting audio.

Audio only comes from left

I was recently trying to play my powerbook into my stereo with a direct RCA connection and I noticed that the audio was only coming out of the left speaker of the stereo. At first I thought it was the stereo but then I hooked my ipod up to the stereo and it worked fine. I hooked up to the stereo to my airport express and it produced audio through both speakers. The audio also only comes out on the left through the computer. Any ideas on what to do? Also, it is not just from iTunes the audio only comes out on the left with quicktime too.

I was just looking around - seems like there are lots of people with this problem. I was originally looking to see if anyone had a problem with their PowerBook's audio output jack - mine won't let the headphones plug all the way in. But I'd also noticed a frequent balance problem.
The consensus seems to be that if you adjust your sound during a period of high CPU-usage it'll lose proper balance. I ran Audio MIDI Setup (Applications->Utilities) and experimented with adjusting the volume. Lo and behold! When I would hit the volume keys on my keyboard, the sliders wouldn't move quite the same! Quite annoying. Seems that over time the difference gets greater.
Kevin Konikowski pointed out in this thread (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b6e310) that an application called balanced exists with the sole purpose of keeping your balance at 50%. You can find it here:

Frustrating, but much more manageable knowing what's going on!

I want to get audio only file from DVD-R. Please help.

I hope this is the right place to ask.
I have just completed copying a radio play from VHS to DVD-R.
(Recorded off air from high quality BBC FM onto VHS sound only in 1993)
The copy is a success inasmuch as I now have the high quality copy I desire and I can play it (via the DVD player) through the hi-fi with TV turned off.
However, I want to go further and load the DVD-R into my iMac and make an Audio only file of the soundtrack for use on my iPod for instance.
I have no idea if this is possible with the standard iDVD (or other software) on my iMac or how to even start.
I guess it would be equivalent to loading a standard DVD movie and making a file of just the soundtrack.
Has anyone any ideas please?
Thankyou.

If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
- insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
- start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
- use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
- you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

Hi ReChan,
-IMAQ Snap Configures, starts, acquires, and unconfigures a snap acquisition.
-For IMAQ Grab you're configuring initally. So, whenever you click boolean-imaq snap captures image and unconfigures the IMAQ session.
-When you try to grab again, it will throw an error because IMAQ session isn't configured.
-The mechanical action of boolean you kept as switch when pressed-it'll stay high-which results asking user for saving an image. instead i changed it to latch.
Thanks

How to create PDF of only book from entire IBA file?

How do I extract a PDF of ONLY the completed book from an unencrypted IBA file (which contains all related materials and is 568 MBs). Existing conversion to PDF methods convert the entire file. Thanks, Cora

For clarity, when referring to the "actual book" versus the "entire iBA file", do you mean
(a) actual book: text only
(b) entire iBA file: resources other than text (eg images, videos)
When creating a PDF from any kind of document (iBA, Word, etc) you generally get two main options.
1. To create a PDF from all pages in the file, which of course includes all text, images, videos, audio etc
2. To print to PDF, which allows you to specify pages. Obviously if the pages you specify also contain images and video for example, they'll come across in the PDF created too. There's no way around that. Images look great. Video just a black area on the page usually - it's static in PDF form afterall :)
You mention that earlier PDF versions of your book are more in keeping of what you want. My first thought when reading this was that your book now has more resources added to it than earlier stages of development, as one would expect!
I would suggest trying to be precise in your descriptions of exactly what you want to be included in a PDF copy of a file created in iBA rather than just repeating generic terms in successive posts.
Hope that helps! :)

Audio only works from my MacBook instead of TV.

When I try to stream a video, the visual works fine but the audio comes from my MacBook instead of the TV. When I went to Sound Settings, the Apple TV showed up as an option for sound output but would go back to computer every time I clicked Apple Tv.
This happens randomly. I'll use the Apple TV to stream a video from the same website and some days it'll work perfectly and other days it won't.

Hi,
I understand that you are in Airplay?   I had the same problem since my AppleTV updated today.
I restarted the airplay setting in the apple TV :   Settings / Airplay.   Deactivate Airplay.
You will loose the airplay icon in the upper right menu of your Mac.
Reactivate Airplay on the Apple TV and reconnect your Mac.
Solved the problem for me.   I hope it will help you too.   Sorry if the terms are not the right one, my AppleTV is not in English...

Can I insert an extra audio stream into the live stream?

I have a project where I need to set up a broadcast (from
pre-recorded files) so people can 'tune in' at a certain time to
watch a show. Some of these shows should have a soundtrack, can I
use SSAS to overlay an extra audio stream? So I would send one
video and two audio streams out to the client as one stream.
Alternatively, can I use SSAS to replace the audio, so
effectively demux the original audio off and send out a different
audio stream in its place.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Unfortunately, no... you can't do either of the things you
listed. You would need to use separate streams for the audio and
video, but that would introduce potential for sync issues (in fact,
I can pretty much guarantee that you'd have sync problems).
I suppose that a really hackish fix would be to use a stereo
audio track and use the left and right channels for your two audio
sources. You could then use the rightToRight, leftToRight,
leftToLeft, and rightToLeft properties of the sound transform
object to handle playback (haven't tried that myself, but I suspect
it would work)

How can I make an audio only CD from a DVD

I am really kind of new at this but my church makes DVD's of the services but some of my Sunday School teachers want to have a CD of the sermon. Does iDVD have the capability to burn just the audio tracks onto a CD?

Audio only records from one side

I am using a firewire solo...when I try to record guitar or mic through it into logic it only records on the left side (no sound coming from right)...
Doesn't happen in Garage Band.
Thoughts?

Well, first, make sure you are aware of what channel you are using on your interface. Then go to I/O in the track pannel in logic that you wish to use. Make sure it coressponds to the appropriate channel. MONO.
