How to package multibitrate live stream as audio-only for Apple compliance

Hi
From AMS documentation, I can package vod content as audio-only by appending "audio-only" to url for instance:
http://<ams server ip>/hls-vod/audio-only-aac/vod.m3u8
Similarly I can package live content (single bitrate) as audio-only for instance:
http://<ams server ip>/hls-live/audio-only-aac/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
In my case, I have 3 bitrates being published for a live audio-video event. The variant playlist for this event is created by hls_http module by refering to Manifest.xml.
I could not figure out a way to insert an audio-only stream to this variant playlist created by hls_http module for live stream.
Please let me know if I am missing something because this seems to be a pretty obvious requirement for live streaming to IOS devices.
Thanks,
Nitin

who can answer my question?Is the question a difficult one?

Can I record a live streaming concert (audio

Is there a way to record a live streaming concert (audio & video) with Quicktime on my iMac?

Sure. The built-in iSight camera of all Intel iMacs supports both video and audio. The following link shows how to use Quicktime to record video and audio with your iSight:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4024
If you wish to append that video with examples on the computer, SnapZ Pro is a great tool for screen capture:
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Note, SnapZ Pro is probably the easiest to record an existing webinar. Note, when recording any webinar, you should be licensed to record the said video, or allowed to by the professor/school offering it for the use of your own instruction.

Live Streaming w/ RTMPE Only?

I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this. I'm attempting to stream a live event using FMLE and FMS. The first thing that throws me off is that I cannot push the stream to the server using RTMPE, only RTMP[T]. I assume this is because the the encryption is handled by the server and not the encoder. However, for the sake of security I would like to disable RTMP connections from the flash player to the server. Yet it would seem that if I incorporate the server side scripting described here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405456.html (namely the changes to my main.asc file), that my server would reject an RTMP connection from FMLE? Is that correct? If so, where do I go from here? Can I broadcast a live stream using RTMPE only? Do I need a different encoder or something, or am I just missing a very simple point?

You're correct that FMLE can't publish RTMPE.
What you can do is, in your logic for inspecting the client protocol for the connection, make an exception for FMLE user-agents. Based on the example code in the doc you linked to, you could do something like:
application.onConnect = function(clientObj) {
if(clientObj.protocol == "rtmpe" || clientObj.protocol == "rtmpte" || client.agent.indexOf("FMLE") > -1 || client.agent.indexOf("FME") > -1){
return true;
return false

Ability to connect Audio Cable for Apple TV to Apple Speaker

Can I connect my Apple TV XtremeMac XtremeHD Toslink Audio Cable for Apple TV to my external Apple Iphone speaker?
There is only a single audio cable connection behind the speaker that normally goes from the Iphone.
Is there some sort of adapter I can use?
Thanks.

Stream Audio only for a Live Radio type broadcast

I currently use FMS 4.5 to steam Live Technical Videos.
Hooked into Flash Media Live Encoder is a Roland VR-5 which lets me have multiple Camera switching.
I want to braodcast also a few live Audio only streams.
I could easily use the VR-5 which in turn has a Behringer Audio Mixer attached to allow up to 16 Audio devices to be mixed in, and then just turn off the Video option in Flash Media Live Encoder but:
I don't want to have to put a video window on the Webpage. I just want an Audio controller.
So how can I use FlashMedia Server to just stream a live Audio feed?
Can you recommend what I can do?

I have not used it personally but just go through this link - i think it might be something which you are looking at: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/org/osmf/elements/Audio Element.html

How does exactly AMS sync a video stream with another stream of audio only ?

I have the following situation: 2 instances of FMLE on one machine and another machine with AMS Starter.
The instances of the FMLE are:
1. Video H.264 + audio MP3
2. Audio only MP3 - track 1
The application on AMS is a livepkgr/_definst_ and i am using HDS with a live event
I have an OSMF based player to consume the streams and to do audio switch using late binding audio.
When I consume the Video with the Default audio everything works just fine. The problem is that when I try to consume the Video with the other audio track, the audio tack has a 1 second delay compared to the video.
I have tried to fix this by changing the configurations on the FMLE, but it doesnt seem to work. So I really want to know how does exactly AMS syncronize differents streams, in this case a video stream with a different audio stream.

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

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...

Simple HTML example on how to display a live stream?

Hi all
Is there anyone who has a HTML example (or can give an URL with a page) that has the Adobe Flash player displaying a live stream (and not a file)?
There is one in the installation under "Flash Media Server Start Screen" but it was too complex for me to understand. I just need a simple example on how to display a live flash stream in Adobes own web player.
Thank you very much :-)

Hi,
Here is the html code.
<html>
<head>
<title>Flash Media Player</title>
</head>
<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="player.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
</body>
</html>
And here is the action script code of player.swf.
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.media.Video;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.media.Camera;
startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,mouseHandler);
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var vid:Video;
var cam:Camera=Camera.getCamera();
function mouseHandler(evt:MouseEvent){
    nc=new NetConnection();
    nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,statusHandler);
    nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/sample");
function statusHandler(evt:NetStatusEvent){
    trace(evt.info.code);
    if(evt.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success"){
        ns=new NetStream(nc);
        ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,streamHandler);
        ns.play("LiveStream");
        vid=new Video();
        vid.attachNetStream(ns);
        vid.height=400;
        vid.width=600;
        addChild(vid);
function streamHandler(evt:NetStatusEvent){
    trace(evt.info.code);
Please do the following before using the actionscript code:
Add a button called start in fla and keep its instance name startBtn.
create an application called sample in FMS and publish a live stream called "LiveStream".

How to use Youtube Live Streaming API ??

I want to make a WPF application that gets the video from my ip camera and sends it to my youtube channel live. I look around all of the websites but there's no example how can i live stream a video to Youtube with c#. There are examples in google's website
but they were written with PHP, Java and Phyton but I don't know this programming languages so i couldn't use the API.
I tried to write a little bit but it didn't work. Here's my code that i wrote looking through the Java example.
string devkey = "AIzaSyCbxm6g9orAw9PF3MkzTb_0PGbpD3Xo1Qg";
string username = "MyYoutubeChannelEmailAdress";
string password = "MyPassword";
YouTubeRequestSettings youtubereqsetting = new YouTubeRequestSettings("API Project", devkey, username, password);
YouTubeRequest youtubereq = new YouTubeRequest(youtubereqsetting);
LiveBroadcastSnippet broadcastSnippet = new LiveBroadcastSnippet();
broadcastSnippet.Title = "Test Live Stream";
broadcastSnippet.ScheduledStartTime = new DateTime(2015, 3, 12, 19, 00, 00);
broadcastSnippet.ScheduledEndTime = new DateTime(2015, 3, 12, 20, 00, 00);
LiveBroadcastStatus status = new LiveBroadcastStatus();
status.PrivacyStatus = "Private";
LiveBroadcast broadcast = new LiveBroadcast();
broadcast.Kind = "youtube#liveBroadcast";
broadcast.Snippet = broadcastSnippet;
broadcast.Status = status;
Google.Apis.YouTube.v3.LiveBroadcastsResource.InsertRequest liveBroadcastInsert = new Google.Apis.YouTube.v3.LiveBroadcastsResource.InsertRequest(service, broadcast, "");
LiveBroadcast returnLiveBroadcast = liveBroadcastInsert.Execute();

How to make delay Live Streaming ?

Hi everybody,
I follow this turorial make HTTP Live Streaming From Camera, using FMS 4.5, and FMLE 3.2, and I success.
Now I need make delay (1~10 minutes) on HTTP Live Streaming. Example, current now my camera is capture, and client (end-user) can only see the signal (video) is obtained from the camera 10 minutes ago.
P/s: I'm using Amazon Cloud, specify EC2 (include FMS 4.5)
Can I do that ?
Thanks,
Huy Mai

Hi Bharat,
I read your link, and focus in MaxQueueDelay & MaxQueueSize.But its seem can not use in my case. I try config Application.xml follow it, and not success for my purpose , I think "MaxQueueDelay" is specifies how to often the server will flush the message queue, in miliseconds.
My puporse is client can view video, late 10 minutes than what is obtained current from camera
Will I be missing anything?

How to copy recorded live stream to new drive

I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to copy a recorded live stream to a new drive on the server? I can copy the file within the virtual app directory but not to another drive.
The only solution i found was to edit the application.xml:
<StreamManager>
        <StorageDir>e:\Sync\</StorageDir>
    </StreamManager>
But unfortunately i need to rename the file once its recorded, and i'm having a hard time accessing that drive/directory where the file is located.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi,
What I understood from your query I am providing you a solution:
1. You can use the below to copy recorded live stream to new drive/directory in Application.xml
<StreamManager>
        <StorageDir>e:\Sync\</StorageDir>
</StreamManager>
2. By default, a script can access files and directories only within the application directory of the hosting application. A server administrator can grant access to additional directories by specifying virtual directory mappings for File object paths. This is done in the FileObject tag in the Application.xml file, as shown in the following example:
<FileObject>
      <VirtualDirectory>/_definst_;e:\Sync\_definst_\</VirtualDirectory>
</FileObject>
3. Create one application folder suppose test and then create main.asc file inside that which will have the below code
application.onConnect = function(client) {
application.acceptConnection(client);
var fileObj = new File("_definst_");
var fl = new Array();
trace("File name : " + fileObj.toString());
if (fileObj != null)
if (fileObj.isDirectory)
   fl = fileObj.list();
   for (i in fl)
    trace("Directory : " + fl[i].name);
    if (fl[i].isFile)
     trace("File : " + fl[i].name);
     trace(fl[i].renameTo("dvrstream"+i));
    }//if closes
   }// for closes
}//if closes
}//if closes
}// application closes
This server side application rename files but since the folder which we had to access was outside application directory of the hosting application we had to map it using step 2.
If this solution does not answer your query please be more ellaborative on what exactly are you trying to achieve. That will help me to answer your query correctly.
Regards,
Amit
