Highest Quality Live Video Streaming | Best Practice Recommendations?

Hi,
When using FlashCollab Server, how can we achieve best quality publishing a live stream?
Can you provide a bullet list for best practice recommendations?
Our requirement is publishing a single presenter to many viewers (generally around 5 to 50 viewers).
Also, can it make any difference if the publisher is running Flash Player 10 vs Flash Player 9?
Thanks,
g

Hi Greg,
For achieving best quality
a) you should use RTMFP connection instead of RTMPS. RTMFP has a lower latency.
b) You should the player 10 swc.
c) If bandwidth is not a restriction for you, you can use higest quality values. WebcamPublisher class has property for setting quality.
d) You can use a lower keyframeInterval value, which in turn will send videos in full frames rather than by a video compression algorithm.
e) You should use Speex Codec. Speex Codec is again provided with player 10 swc.
These are some suggestions that can improve your quality depending on your requirements.
Thanks

Switching video source for live video streaming

Is it possible to switch the video source from a video
capture card to a standalone video during live video streaming? We
are streaming live TV and we want to skip playing any
advertisements.
If this is not possible, what is the best way skip playing
any advertisements? Do we have to do it at the client player level
i.e. catch an event from the video player and play a predefined
video when the live video stream is stopped?

Thanks for reporting your fix. That news could be very important to those who delete events from their hard drive to save space, but may want to reload them later to do some editing.
It sounds like the key is re-importing with exactly the same name as before.
Just curious: What kind of camcorder? Was it MiniDV tape? Flash? Hard drive? DVD?
It strikes me that with tape it might be difficult to reimport an exact match. If you start on a different frame, the pointers could be off. But if that is not the case, it is very good news.

What is the best practices recommended from microsoft to give access a intranet portal from internet externally

Hi
what is the best practices recommended from microsoft
i have a intranet portal in my organization used by employees and i want to give access for employees to access external from internet also
can i use same url for employees access intranet portal from internally and externally or diffrent url?
like ( https://extranet.xyz.com.in) and (http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
internal url access by employees is( http://intranet.xyz.com.in)
and this portal configured with claims based authentication
here i have a F5 for load blance and
a request from external to F5 is https request and F5 to sharepoint server http request
and sharepoint server to F5 is http request but F5 to external users it is https response so
when i change below settings in alternate access mapings all links changed to https
but only authentication link is still showing http and authentication page not opened.

Hi,
One of my clients has an environment similar to yours with an internal pair of F5s and a pair used for the access from the internet.
I am only going to focus on the method using an F5 Load Balancer and SSL Offloading. the setup of the F5 will not be covered in detail but a reference to the documentation to support SharePoint and SSL Offloading will be provided
Since you arte going to be using SSL Offloading you do not need to extend your WebApps to use separate IIS WebSites with Unique IP Addresses
Configure the F5 with SSL Offloading
Configure a Internal AAM for SSL (HTTPS) for each WebApp that maps to the Public HTTP FQDN AAM Setting for each WebApp
Our environment has an additional component we require RSA Authentication for all internet facing Sites. So we have the extra step of extending the WebApp to a separate IIS WebSite and configuring RSA for each extended WebSite.Reference:
Reference SharePoint F5 Configuration:

Live video stream keeps replaying parts of stream.

While watching live video stream the video jumps back and replays what has already played. It doesn't skip forward only replays, no problems with chopping stream or anything else. Thanks for your help.

Dear RahiSC.
We actualy never found the solution to this problem. This issue was only there when we were using BlackMagic Studio cards using SDI link. Now we use Osprey video capture card using composite input and now everything works perfectly.
After that we didn't yet try to resolve the issue when using BlackMagic Studio cards using SDI link.
best regards,
Borut.

How to play live Video Stream with Flex?

I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media
Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server.
I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not
with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams:
If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:Label text="RTMP FMS 2.0"/>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/vod/Legend.flv"/>
    </mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>
Oh and sorry for the double post. I didn't know there was a seperate FMS forum.

That worked! Thanks *very* much. Stupid of me to forget to set the live attribute to true. Also removed the .flv. BTW: what video component do you prefer?
Here's the working code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:HBox>
        <mx:VideoDisplay
            live="true"
            autoBandWidthDetection="false"
            source="rtmp://localhost/live/livestream"/>
    </mx:HBox>

Live video stream to both Flash and iOS problem

Hi everyone, I'm Lucas. I Have learnt how to deliver a single live video stream to both Flash and iOS from this video
But after that I got a problem with the ".f4m" file and ".m3u8" file (I think) like this video below here. I don't know what happen with the server because my camera is still working perfectly.
I now using Flash Media Server 4.5
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try this :
1: stop any stream.
2: go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent and delete any .stream file that is in there
3: Go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_ any livestream folder that is in there for example if you streamed with name livestream12 there should be a folder with the name livestream12, delete it.
4: Then try streaming a single bitrate stream by adding to the FMLE the following parameters
FMS Url : rtmp://localhost/livepkgr
Stream: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
5: go to sample player and add this url to the field : http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
*If you have a public IP do the following :
1: go to http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#
and add this url : http://public_ip/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m (replace localhost with your public IP)
and from the advanced tab say that it is live.
Give it a try!

Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR

What is the Oracle Best Practice for install/deployment and configuration of ODI 11g for Disaster Recovery?
We have a project that is using Oracle ODI 11g (11.1.1.5).
We have configured all the other Oracle FMW components as per the Oracle DR EDG guides. Basically using the Host ip name/aliasing concept to ‘trick’ the secondary site into thinking
it is primary and continue working with minimal (or no) manual reconfiguration. But will this work for ODI? The FMW DR guide has sections for SOA, WebCenter and IdM, but nothing for ODI.
Since ODI stores so much configuration information in the Master Repository..when this DB gets ‘data guarded’ to the secondary site and promoted to Primary…ODI will still think it is at the ‘other’ site. Will this break the actual agents running the scenarios?
Where does one find the Oracle Best Practice/recommendations for how to DR ODI properly?
We are looking for a solution that will allow a graceful switchover/failover with minimal manual re-configuration.

Hi all,

The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.You have one other HUGE resource that, while it won't answer your current question, you'd better start getting familiar with if you are going to use Oracle. That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

Could you point me to a ADF development best practice recommendation doc

Could you point me to a ADF development best practice recommendations document for ADF 11g that could be used as a guideline for developers.

Why don't you use several layers with appropriate alpha properties, and move these layers according to the mouse events?

Live video stream play permission on server-side

I have a live video stream application one-to-many for
example, and i want to send video only to few clients, not to all.
Like:
quote:
application.onConnect = function(client, canSeeVideo) {
// canSeeVideo = boolean
this.acceptConnection(client);
if (!canSeeVideo) client.receiveVideo(false);
// and after this, can be swich to TRUE or FALSE ?
client.receiveVideo(true);
I only want to do restriction for Video, from server-side
with FMS, or if can't be possible.. how can i put for example a
black screen on video ? :) and after can be removed, etc...

1.
necesary client.receiveVideo() and client.receiveAudio()
server-side functions
Thank you fmslove for you trying to help me but
client.readAccess property can NOT be set after client
connection was accepted, and for me is useless. Any other
solution(s) ? i strong recomend to Adobe FMS dev staff to implement
this feature because is refering to security client-side solution
from server-side. I have bad experience with users trying to modify
the Flash Player (plug-in) run memory and set values for my swf
without my accept, and is nothing that i can do from client-side
like NetSream.receiveVideo(false) on many-to-many or one-to-many
live A/V stream.
2.
a necesary server-side video encoder solution better than
Sorenson Spark
If in future FMS staff from Adobe will implement this
necesary security feature on server-side like a copy of
NetSream.receiveVideo() function from client-side, i will be happy
if i see a solution to encode LIVE video stream on server-side
because
Sorenson Spark video encoder built-in Flash Player (plug-in) is
very old and unuseful.
If this can't be possible i hope the future Flash Player
version (10) will have a better video encoder built-in than
Sorenson Spark !!!

Live video streaming not working

My live video streaming is not work properly. I can watch video for a few seconds to a few minutes before it stops. Why??? What can be done to fix this?

I downloaded a new version of the app NDTV , but the problem still persists .
I am using iPhone 5 .
Please advise, if there are any specific updates you are pointing to . Because I dont have any pending updates showing in App store

Audio several seconds out of sync with live video stream.

I did a live stream last week using 282,482,832,1500Kbps streams. What would cause the audio to get out of sync with the live video stream? I'm trying to determine if it was bandwidth related, cpu/memory issue on the FMIS 4.5 server, or an issue with encoding PC exceeding it's limits?
Thanks,
Dave

Which device are you using? Are audio and video coming from the same device or different devices?
Is it a USB device? Try changing the device and see if there is any difference. Changing bitrates will not affect audio-video sync.

Hello, on an ipad 4 when watching a live video stream , came up with a blank picture with the quick time symbol in the middle, the sound worked perfectly but no picture ? any suggestions please ?

We have a solution that allows you to do most of what you want, including bulding the form, having people fill it out either in Reader (as an XFA-PDF) or on the iPad (as an HTML form).
You design the form once, and it will by styled correctly on the appropriate platform.

AAC audio causes stuttering in live video stream playback

I am using the Spark VideoDisplay component and setting the mx_internal bufferTime to 0. (videoDisplay.mx_internal::videoPlayer.bufferTime = 0) I am doing this because I need to have the absolute minimum delay in the live video stream. I am broadcasting video files as a live stream using ffmpeg, through Red5, then to the client. ffmpeg is not re-encoding the video or audio. I am using h.264 video format. I have tried encoding videos using Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg.
When I have a video stream only and no audio stream this works fine, but when I have an AAC audio channel with the video, I frequently see the video jitter badly. It looks like the video is quickly going forward and back a few frames. When this problem occurs it will go on for some time and sometimes eventualy starts playing normal. When the video is playing normally the audio sounds fine. When I play the videos in a regular media player (like VLC) they play and sound fine. Also if I use an mp3 audio channel I don't see the jittering
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this problem might be or how it can be resolved?

Ah, yes, I am not serving high-def video myself. H264 is probably better, but my understanding is that you need hardware acceleration to get good performance from it (again, not an expert on the topic, that's just what my understanding has been...)
This document [pdf] may have some usefull info on choosing an optimal encoding for your needs.
