I am new to this. How do I get OSMF player to handle RTMP streams? It's not in the docs.

Hello all,
I want to stream RTMP or RTMPE using the OSMF player on my website and although the using_fmp_smp_post1.0.pdf file SAYS this player can be configured for RTMP, NOWHERE in this file does it say HOW to do so. Keep in mind, not all of us are software engineers. Some of us save every penny to buy software like FMIS (which I did) and I want to use OSMF player to deliver the goods.
So...
Tell us HOW to deliver the goods vis RTMP!!!
Please.
Cheers,
wordman

WriterDonna,
Thank you for listening! As a tech writer myself, I am always finding places in documentation that miss some crucial point. I respect the fact that OSMF is in pre-release stage and I am grateful for all the work required to get such a project off the ground.
All I ask, and what I believe should always be included in documentation is this: If you mention a feature, address it and explain it. That simple. For example, the page regarding the player's installation in one's htdocs folder on their web server is concise, but it's also too little. It tells us how to check that the installation works by playing the sample video, but it offers NOTHING about how to troubleshoot the installation if the sample does not play.
Please keep in mind that not everyone is a software engineer and there are people out there who are struggling along to not only learn a new technology, but are also having to implement it, almost simultaneously, as well. I appreciate that ideally, we'd all read tutorials, take classes and get up to speed FIRST. But as a one-man developer shop, I often have to learn and implement simultaneously. I have no choice. (I did so with PHP and MySQL).
If your documentation can be technically concise while speaking in a tone that is understandable to people of modest skill levels (this is where the REOPS docs fail miserably) then, in my opinion, you will have succeeded. In turn, the users will be empowered and become your greatest champions.
Again, thank you for listening!
Sincerely,
wordman

    How do I get iTunes to keep playing - radio or CD - when the computer is otherwise idle? It cuts off after about 5 minutes and goes into sleep mode. thanks,

    Hey vlasta4444,
    It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

  • How do I get my podcasts to launch in iTunes by default not in the browser?

    We have a set of podcasts available at the iTunes store. I am trying to set up a link on our site that will launch our series of podcasts in iTunes, not just in the browser.
    I applied our podcast URL to an anchor tag on our site:
    http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=386170702
    (also tried: http://www.itunes.com/podcast?id=386170702)
    When you follow this link, you go to the Itunes store in a browser, but not in Itunes itself. The iTunes store does have links that properly launch the podcasts in iTunes, but I'd like it to be a single step.
    When I viewed the scripts being used for our podcasts and compared them to another store that does launch properly, I noticed that our store has the additional script of:
    http://metrics.itunes.apple.com.edgesuite.net/itunespreview/itunes/browser:firef ox/installed:true/autolaunch:false
    I’m not sure what is setting this value to false, but it seems obvious to me that we need to fix that toggle so that autolaunch=true.
    How do I do that?

    Firstly, it won't work with any browser if you don't have iTunes installed. If you do, then you need to look in the Preferences for the list associating applications with protocols. For example, in FireFox its Preferences>Applications. However it's possible that IE does not have this list, or if it does it doesn't include itms or won't allow it to be added, in which case I don't know whether there's anything you can do. But this is a question which would be best addressed to a Microsoft/Internet Explorer forum - I don't have IE and so can't look into this.

    If you still have your content on an old computer then you can copy it over from there (you will need to reauthorise that computer) - there are a number of methods that you could use e.g. home sharing, an external drive etc : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Or you could copy it from your backup, or depending upon which country that you are in (and whether the content is still available in the store) then you might be able to re-download some/all of it : re-downloading.

  • Olp PC crashed, new PC now how do I get my music back?

    Have new PC now. Saved all folders from old PC HDD. Will install iTunes 7.6 on new PC but how should I get my music back from the old PC's HDD? My iPod contains music purchased from iTunes, plus music from alot of CD's I own. WOuld like to recover music from my old HDD rather than synching from iPod (which I don't know how to do anyway!)

    Yes, just delete the duplicates but make sure to keep at least one copy!
    Actually it might be easiest to start over - totally clear your library, and make sure this copy setting is turned off
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61658
    then clear out your new PC's music folder.
    Then add everything back from your old hard drive.
    You only have to authorize one song for the whole PC to get authorized:

  • HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

    Hi
    I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
    I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

    Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    If ALL your music is on the iPod and it's ALL iTunes purchased content, you log into iTunes with your account on th enew machine and reverse sycn the music back.
    If the music is from cd's and other sources (not iTunes files) then ask over at iLounge what third party solution currently works. (can't recommond it here)
    I have some HUGE instructions here how to get your music off the old comptuer too:
    Recovery options:
    A: If Windows isn't booting:
    You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
    I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    or
    burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
    You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
    Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
    Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
    Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
    Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
    (If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
    B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
    You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
    There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
    C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
    It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
    You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
    You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
    You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
    D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
    The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
    If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
    E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
    It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
    (Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice)
    Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
    F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
    Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
    Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
    There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
    Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
    Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.
