H.264 Video Streaming Help

Need help integrading H.264 Video Streaming in Flex. I started looking at this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3796848#3796848.
It is now out of date and flash player 11 is released (no longer from incubator site). How is the set up different now? Since my project is built on the older SDK, is there any way to do this on Flex SDK 3.5?
I have already dewnloaded and installed flash player 11 and am using the following code:
            import flash.media.H264VideoStreamSettings;
            import flash.media.VideoStreamSettings;
            import flash.media.H264Level;
            import flash.media.VideoCodec;
            import flash.media.H264Profile;
            nsPublish = new NetStream(nc_publish);
            var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
            h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_2);
            nsPublish.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you have the new playerglobal.swc also drop this additional compiler arg: -swf-version=13. Need also to target flash player 11.
I did it with 4.5 works like a charm. If this does not make it work you may need to upgrade. If you encounter errors can you post them ?

How to take advantage of H.264 video streaming of webcam BCC950

We used flex 4.6 to develop an web app using Logitech webcam of BCC950, We used Graphedit of Directdraw to know BCC950 has pin 0 to support i320,RGB24,and mjpg stream, and pin 3 to support H.264 stream. We also set h264videostreamingsettings in as code to ask for H.264 data directly from the webcam, but from the CPU consuming we can judge flash player only fetch pin 0 uncompressed data instead of H.264 data directly. We need to take advantage of BCC950 H.264 support to get webcam hardware compressed H.264 streaming data to avoid compression by CPU/software. As we know flash does not give programmers choice to define the pin to get data, then what we need to do to make sure we can get H.264 video stream from the webcam directly? thanks. Henry

...well I did follow that article on playing an h264/mpeg4
video in flash. It works well, but how would you add playback
controls?
FLVPlayback component only allows you to source an FLV video
not h264/mpeg4.
This is probably a simple as3 answer...but I am not
knowledgeable on as3 to know what code to add.
Any suggests or direction that I should look would be great.
In the meantime I am researching actionscript 3 to find and anwer.

Video streaming - help

I want to stream some mpg files from a page and need some
basic help.
Nothing fancy, but I would prefer them displayed in a pop up
window.
also, I would like them to start playing after the buffer is
full but
still being downed to the client.
I know this is too much to answer here, but if somebody could
point me
to some useful tutorial links on the web it would be greatly
appreciated.
thanks, /Dan

Thank you, Nancy. Unfortunately the scripts supplied on this
site do
not work correctly. The script (pasted below) will play a
video in
both IE and firefox browsers, but in IE, it will not show the
video
player controls even though I have added more than enough
height. I
have posted another question about this.

QT 7.6: Half of the HD H.264 video stream is grey ( QT 7.5.5 works fine )

Hi,
I have a problem while playing video from:
http://83.170.73.198/IvTattooHD.sdp
Lower half of the video is grey when playing using QT 7.6 but it's displayed correctly by QT version 7.5.5.
This video uses I and P slices and each slice is sent in two fragments - halves of the image. Upper half displays correctly but the lower one displays correctly I-slices only. P-slices are painted over the grey background instead of the I-slices. If the stream contains I-slices only, everything is ok.
The video stream is streamed using Darwin streaming server, but the same problem occurs when I play video directly from the camera.
Video is also played correctly when the payload is stored using e.g. Wireshark.
Is it bug in new QT or is there something wrong with my stream?
Thanks for your help.

We had also another problem with this stream previously. Maybe it is related to this one.
The problem was that QT 7.5.5. QT expected the number of reference frames to be set to 2 even if there is actually one reference frame only (but composed of two half-frames). This bug caused that the lower half of the image has not been painted correctly and also caused a memory leak and crash of QT.
It seems to be fixed now in QT 7.6 - memory consumption seems to be stable, but the second half of the reference frame is still not stored/reused for P-slice rendering.

Slow video streaming - help!

My video streaming has always been pretty fast but as of lately it's gone down hill. I'm running in wifi network and the loading of a three minute video takes like 10 minutes
I've tried reseting network settings. Clearing cookies and caches. Resetting. Nothing works and now when I go to open the YouTube app it never finishes loading. I don't know what to do
any help? PLEASE!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Connect your iPhone to your computer. In the iTunes window select your iPhone under Devices on the left then select the Summary Tab.
At the bottom of that window look where it says; Capacity.
Make sure you have sufficient disk space to download video content.
Also, YouTube streams video using the Flash player plugin. Apple/iPhone does not support Flash at this time.

Need license for using H.264 Video codec for live stream with FMS 3.5 series

Hi,
I am creating a live audio-Video chat application in which I use H264 video codec for live streaming. I am using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I read some where that H.264 Video streaming using FMS required seperate licencse. So I want to confirm , It is true that H264 video streaming required seperate license? If yes then what is the procedure to get license.
Please let me know its urgent.
Regrads,

Hi Again,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are some articles/posts which says about Royalties to use h264:
http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf 15:27
http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Documents/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf
http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=65403&PageNum=3
http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf
According to these, any product/service provider, need to pay one time fee based on # of subscribers if we are using h264 for encoding and is charging fee from its users.
About our business: We are web-conferencing solution tool provider and are using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I for audio/video. Please help me out if h264 is really free for us or we need to buy license to use that.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

IOS Client Video Streaming with Chapter Markers

Are there any ios client applications that will receive an h.264 video stream and provide a list of chapter markers for the video?
It seems AVFoundation definitely supports this: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/AudioVideo/RN-AVFoundation-O ld/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011199-CH1-SW6
However, I can't find any client applications out there that seem to support this. I can't even really get a clear answer as to whether or not HTTP Live Streaming for iOS has a feature for providing chapter metadata.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

My most sincere of apologies. My "instruction redo" for clarity included a cerebral gaseous emission in the one place that was most important.
Step 6 should read "Select "Movie""
1. Go to iTunes->Home Videos
2. Right-click the video
3. Choose "Get Info"
4. Click the "Options" tab
5. Click the "Media Kind" pull-down menu
6. Select "Movie"
7. Click "Okay"
Fell into that trap where you read something over several times to make sure you got everything correct, but you aren't really looking because you KNOW you got everything right.
Not only that, but I got it wrong the first time as well, although Florbid got it right (for Windows) in spite of my initial blundering. If you read my first post, I say to select "Video", which was supposed to be "Movie" even then.
Hope this relieves your frustration. But if it doesn't solve the problem, I have no other answer.

Video stream recording (not webcam) help required

I am making a media player / recorder type web application in flex 4.
The application plays video streams streamed from my red5 server.
I want to give users the ability to make / record clips of the video they are viewing.
I know that netstream.publish is used to record/save video on the server.
All the help i've found on google so far just give examples to save video from webcam.
But i want to save video from a video being streamed from red5 server and being played
on VideoPlayer control in flex.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply but i think u misunderstood my problem.
I am not receiving any RTP Stream but RTMP stream.RTMP is a proprietary protocol of Adobe For Streaming Flash video from Flash Media Server (FMS).

Anyone plz help me out.I am stuck into this for past 2 days and it is very critical for my project. :-(

Help implementing QoS for Video Streaming

Hello friends!
I am trying to implement a quality of service logic for a videoplayer based on the Brightcove API. As I have learned it's a better idea to use methods in NetStreamInfo class (eg. currentBytesPerSecond) rather than using a native bandwith check.
E.g. (where nc is a NetConnection object)
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
var nsi:NetStreamInfo = ns.info;
var cbytes:Number = nsi.currentBytesPerSecond;
use cbytes to evaluate which quality to chose...
The problem is that streams are initiated (by videoplayer) using the Brightcove API and not directly using NetConnection.connect(). The BC API doesnt seem to give me any access to the classes listed above either, altough I'm certain it's utilizing them.
Are there any Brightcove or video streaming experts out there that have a clue as to how I can access the NetConnection object used by Brightcove? Or if i can access the NetStream object or even tge NetStreamInfo object directly.
best regards,
Fredrik

You don't have your egress queuing setup. You need to map your COS values to a queue, then you can allocate bandwidth to those queue's. This makes lower priority traffic wait while higher priority traffic gets transmitted.
I have a few configuration examples on my site that may help you. Remember that the config that I have may not be the best for your network so you will have to figure that out yourself.
http://goatnetworking.com/CiscoCSwitchQOSConfig.php
Make sure that your QOS profile on the WLC is set correctly. I found one of my controllers didn't even have a value set in the profile, but the profile was applied and doing nothing.
You need to apply the policy map to mark packets on the port where the video source is on your network.
You need to Trust DSCP on all of your trunk ports or the switch will ignore the dscp markings.
QOS may only be one of many issues that may be causing your problem. Your AP's could be overloaded with clients, your data rates may not be optimized, etc..
I hope this helps

How to publish and record video stream in h.264 format

I'm a fresher. I want to publish and record video stream in h.264 and audio stream in AAC format .
Does flash player support to publish video stream in h.264 format ?
And which version of flash player and FMS could implement this function ?
Thank you very much.

The Flashplayer does not support h264 or AAC publishing. The Flashplayer supports only h.263 (sorenson spark) video, and Nellymoser Asao and Speex audio.
If you want to publish h.264 you'll need to use Flash Media Live Encoder, or a third party encoder.

Recently, I can't get any sound from my game applications. Sound works fine with video, streaming, etc, but not my game applications. I've tried powering down and re-booting, but the sound does not return. Can anyone help me?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Live Streaming H.264 Video on iOS using AIR

We would like to build an AIR app that plays Streaming H.264 Live/VOD videos that would work through AIR on the iOS platform.
I've seem some traffic on the forums that RTMP will work to iOS - but additionally heard that video applications that use RTMP streams will be rejected by the Apple App store.
I have seen that progressive H.264 will work - but that's not streaming or live.
HLS would work if we use the StageWebView object; however, that provides us little control/monitoring over the video inside of it; and it's not "really" integrated as a video player.
For OSMF there seems to be a 3rd-Party plugin which will allow OSMF to read HLS streams - but (from what I've heard) is incomplete because it doesn't play adaptive nor is it completely updated for OSMF 1.6.1.
I would love to be wrong here - but is there currently a way to play a Streamed H.264 Video to iOS that is non-RTMP?
I've seem little information as to if F4M streamed files played via OSMF will work on iOS.
Thanks for the info in advance.
-Will

I pasted a stripped down version of my test app below, that attempts to playback an m3u8 file. This works for me on an IPad2.
Remember to test on the device itself otherwise wont work.
Dependencies:
1. Air 3.1
2. OSMF 1.6.1
3. Flex SDK 4.6.0
