How to find metrics for live streams?

Hi there,
We have installed FMS and have used it for a live streaming video event.  The event lasted an hour and FMS worked great.
How can I get statistics on that live stream?  I'd like to know how many people saw the video, and how many people were watching at one time.
Can you please tell me where to find this?
Thanks

One way to check this is to use the FMS logs. The access logs in <FMS install>/logs folder contains all such information regarding events with time. With default logger configuration it records only certain events like connect, disconnect, etc.  and fields related to them. To enable more logging make changes to the following tags in conf/Logger.xml
tag 1. Modify <Events> value under <access>. The value of this tag controls which events will be logged in access.00.log. Select the ones which you need. The information of all events have been provided.
tag2: <Fields> under <access> Similarly you can configure what fields you want to be logged for each event.
I understand this is not very straight forward as this log may get very large. So you may also consider using file parsers which may be available and use them to parse this file.
Another way is to use admin API commands. You can check the list of admin APIs listed in FMS documentation. These APIs may give you some information too and you can use the most suitable ones for your purpose.
Thanks,
Abhishek

  • Flash Media Player which handles bitrate switching for live streams?

    Hello.  I've got a very short timescale to find a solution for a way to display livestreams with bitrate switching. Does anyone
    know of any opensource players which can do this effectively?  Or do the inbuilt components in CS4 deal with this ok?

    Thanks,I have read that article.  Based on that article the NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is not an accurate measurement to base dynamic switching on. This seems to be the basis of the bitrate switching in both the longtail player, and the adobe examples that I have tried.   That article suggests using the dropped frames property, in conjunciton with bufferlength to determine if switching is neccessary.  Unfortunately I can't seem to find a player online which handles this successfully.  That being said, I can't believe I'm the only person trying to implement dynamic bitrate switching for live streams so surely there are some players out there which can do this successfully?  If anyone knows of any code available which does this successfully I would appreciate knowing where!  The examples provided by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35 unfortunately don't work either.

  • JVC GY-HM100u for live streaming

    I want to buy the JVC GY-HM100u for live streaming at my local church. We want to be able to have the camera at the front of the church and have the laptop that we are using somewhere else.
    Is this possible and if so how?
    Also what laptop would you recommend for this type of task
    (Live streaming a Church service and editing the recording later on)

    First question I have is why do you want the camera at the front?
    Second question is are you using the laptop for the web broadcast or recording?
    Third question - what hardware are you going to use to get from the camera and into your computer, and what software to get it from the computer to the web?
    My advice is stream in SD and run a composite video line from the camera to some sort of hardware that'll get it into your computer to stream out. What hardware you need depends on the software you use to stream. It's church - save a few bucks going SD, then donate what you save to a local charity. If you do anamorphic (widescreen) SD you'll probably convince half of your web viewers that it's HD. Check with your streaming provider about what needs to be done with anamorphic video. Don't forget to think about what kind of upstream data connection you need. Check with your provider to see what kind of sustained upload speeds you need. Do tests during the service to see what's available. If you have public WiFi sharing the internet connection you might run into issues sometime.
    For your recording later on, just record to the camera's SD card slots. The JVC you mentioned records Quicktime movies that'll go right into Final Cut. This can easily be HD.
    Make sure your audio is clean, it matters more than the picture. Get a feed from one of the audio consoles. If it's the front of house board (or the board if you only have one) ask for a Matrix, post-fade AUX, or Tape Out from the sound guy - though he will have an understanding of what you need already. You might look into some sort of auto-gain controller or compressor to level things off. You can have 12dB of difference between someone talking and a band play easily.
    For the laptop - again it depends on your streaming provider. A desktop may be a better option for specialised hardware requirements.
    I'm going to hop on a soap box here at the end for a second. I don't mean this offensively to your local church. I have no idea what sorts of programs you have in place or anything of the sort. That said, for a church I'd sit down and do a cost-benefit analysis on this before continuing. Sure, a live stream is cool, but given the cost that it takes to get it going I'd rather buy school supplies and hygiene items for kids that need them, or put some money into social justice. Chances are a live stream isn't going to change someone's life, but providing a village with clean water changes several lives. You could probably step away from the live idea, drop down to SD, and save about $4,000 initially, plus whatever ongoing costs web streaming necessitates. A lot can be done with $4,000.

  • Using Broadcaster with Internap CDN for live streaming

    Has anybody successfully used Broadcaster with Internap's CDN for live streaming?
    If so how are you configuring broadcaster?

    What are your current settings in FMLE ?
    What is your input feed? from webcam? external HD camera? Encoder card?
    If your connectivity approved you can raise up the bitrate and set higher output size.

    Thanks for looking at this post. We have resolved the issue for ourselves by working with our DBAs to narrow down where the problem actually started. We found that the particular SQL we were looking at was not the issue. In a chart on a subsequent page (via a click through), we were actually running into where apex was starting to consuming memory but we were catching it later.
    What we found was that when we had a chart query that was SQL containing a pipeline function, the memory usage went up. And within 10 minutes, the server would crawl to a halt. To release the memory, the DBAs would have to bounce the Apex instance. When I changed the query to be a function returning SQL, the problem stopped. I don't know what the correlation was between SQL and moving to a PL/SQL function returning SQL.
    I am not even 100% positive of the pipeline function being the cause. I only know that this started happening about the same time as when I implemented the pipeline function. I understand you are leery of a one-second function/query running up that kind of utilization. No one here believed me either (including me really). We figured it HAD to be a coincidence. But once I changed the query from SQL to a function returning PL/SQL, our problem went away.
    Thanks to all who looked at and thought about this.

    give the layout name, if you know the output type also give it.
    OR
    go to se71 and go to the layout , check the text elements syntax then it will show the possible driver programs in the window to choose.
    that way you can find..
    Or else...

  • 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/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.

  • How to use Phone camera for live streaming rather than using WireCast camera in Live streaming using Azure Media Services

    Hi,
    am planning to develop a live streaming app using C# and xaml.
    I have gone through the below sample and am able to stream the live content using wireacst camera.
    Azure Media Services Live Streaming Sample
    But i want to use Phone camera to stream the live video rather using wirecast camera.
    How can i use that? How to get the published URL from the C# code, is there any API to get that?
    Anybody please help me
    Regards,
    Santhosh

    Hello,
    There are no in box components that will allow you to transmit captured video from a Windows Phone device to Azure Media Services. You will need to create you own implementation. You can do this by creating a custom Media Foundation sync that can plug into
    the MediaCapture element's pipeline. You will then need to modify the captured and compressed video to align to one of the two protocols that Azure Media services can use. At this time Azure Media services can use either Smooth Streaming or RTMP for ingestion.
    You will need to create your own packager (or find compatible packager code from a 3rd party) to package the MP4 encoded data into the necessary format.
    Here is an example of how to create a custom Media Foundation sync (please note you must write your Media Foundation components using C++ MoCOM. We do not support Media Foundation components written in managed languages):

  • How to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?

    Does Compressor4 have any features (or scripts that can be run post-compression) to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?
    It works great for creating UNencrypted ones, but I need to make some encrypted ones also.

    I found it out: You have to use "New Batch From Template" and choose “HTTP Live Streaming". Then you have to create a new folder where the output goes to in the "Information" window. There is also a checkbox which instructs Compressor to create a "readme.html".
    Then a folder for every quality setting is created, where all the .ts files go to and the playlist files as well. Works like a charm, as soon as you found out how to do it.

  • User Auth. for Live Streaming with Media Encoder 2.5 and FMSS

    Hi,
    i am currently thinking of buying the Flash Media STREAMING
    Server (~995 $) and in order to see if this is the right choice, i
    also take a look at the Wowza Media Server for comparison.
    I want to support Live Streaming from Events with Flash Media
    Encoder 2.5 and for this i'll need a user authentification for
    giving access to special publishing Users only. Wowza Media Server
    supports a User Authentification by parsing the connecting URL,
    witch is delivered by the Media Encoder on starting a Connection,
    and therefor grants or denies access to the publishing function.
    Only Users with the right Access Persmissions, which is written
    trough a password and the onPublish Comand in the url, can publish
    Live Streams. Everyone can watch the Live Stream, if no restriction
    to the onConnect Command was made.
    The Problem in this case is, i will need seperate Application
    folders for every user who should be able to start a live stream.
    This would be a horrible effort...

    Is there a similar way to support authorisation for starting
    publishing a LiveStream to the Flash Media Streaming Server, or do

    How can i restrict access to users, who should not be able to
    start a live stream on my FMSS?
    Thx for your help,

    Unfortunately no, there isn't. I struggled with same issue
    earlier, and we were forced to purcahse the Interactive edition. As
    the 'Streaming' version only runs Adobe-signed apps, there is no
    way to change things that happen within the onConnect handler.
    Furthermore, guys at Adobe haven't provided any possibility for
    even simple access control through configuration files for built-in
    apps that come along with the Streaming Server edition.

  • Creating a custom player for live streaming video

    I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.

    About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
    Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
    May be something you want to keep an eye on...

  • How can I tell with % how fast I am uplaoding a file...I know how to find it for DOWNLOADING, but not uploading.

    I just switched to Firefox...I used to have Google Chrome...when I would upload a file, a % number would scroll at the bottom showing me how much has been uploaded....how do I find that on Firefox....I know how to find the DOWNLOAD box, but not one for UPLOADING opr sending files

    I mistyped in my first post. I do indeed mark the video as AF41 (Cos4). It is the call control that I mark CS3 with the policy map to get around the old Tandberg bug that doesn't mark the call control.
    So do you think the queue 3, where Cos4 goes to, is big enough to handle 30 video streams of 480k? If my calculation is correct that would be 14.4mbps of video on a 100mbps port.
    With this config.....
    srr-queue bandwidth share 10 10 60 20
    srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0
    ...is it telling me that queues 1 & 2 get 10% bw, queue 3 gets 60% and queue 4 gets 20% bw and is shared? If that is correct than 60% is more than enough for 14.4mbps of video.
    What happens if too much video overruns the queue?
