I give up. Please recommend video streaming server

I give up on trying to get the Quick Time video on my website to load faster than 48 seconds. I have asked everywhere and lots of nice people have told me what they thought I should do, but nobody could tell me how to do it.
So I am ready to pay.
Will some of you nice folks recommend a streaming video server that will not cost me an arm and a leg? I want one who will help me and give me advice. If they are not willing NOR ABLE to give me advice I don't want 'em. Note: I talked to a sales person at streamhoster.com and he complicated my life even more than what it is already.
Here's the background:
I edited my video in Premiere 7.
I embeded the following code into an html page and uploaded to my website where it plays nicely, but it takes 48 seconds for it to load.
<object width="320" height="256"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase=http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">

This is a wedding video demo and nobody is going to wait 48 seconds to watch a demo. If anyone is interested in checking it out here is the link to my wedding photography website:

You don't hurt much because you already have the video on your computer and don't have to wait for the download. Don't think of yourself. You have to think about your future clients that have to navigate a poorly constructed web page.
You started this thread because you had an issue with the load time. You ended the thread by compounding your problem by adding more video to download.
If you want to offer the viewer the choice between WMV and MOV, give them 2 different pages. Loading both video files on the same page is redundant and downright silly if the user can play both media types in their browser. They'll see mismatched video and audio as both videos play at the same time. You've already been told about this in the other forum.

No. They don't.

You do realize, of course, that the Apple page RJ Johnston linked to ( http://muvipix.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2329#p19431 ) is the same page linked in this thread a few days ago?

Video stream server

Hey ARCHers,
i have an very big video archive on my server at my home, in different formats (avi, mpeg, dvd, mkv,... files) in various qualities from 700mb to 16GB. Because i want watch movies when i stay at friends, i'm looking for a good streaming server, that converts the movies in real-time into a stream, wich lower resolution/quality (transcoding), so the data transfer rate is not so big. Wich streaming software can do that?
Greetings,
Sebastian

Turn Windows Phone into a video streaming server (not client)?

I want to stream video from a Windows Phone 8/8.1 device but I'm not sure where to start. I have done extensive web searching for C# examples or libraries to do this but everything I have found so far covers using the phone as a
client, not as a source.
I'm guessing I need to turn the phone into an RTSP server? If not, what is the correct technique or starting point for doing this? Main concerns are that the streaming be smooth and with minimal lag, since the Windows Phone (camera) is mounted on a robot
for remote navigation. Too much lag or video performance problems and navigation will be impossible. Any libraries or samples that show how to do this are greatly appreciated.

Hi Roschler,
Per my understanding, it is not support in public API. If you need this feature, you can vote it on UserVoice.

Adobe encore gives error 19 " Primary video stream attribute must be consistent within play list

anyone know what this means when burning Blu Ray disc?

Yes.
It means exactly what it says - the primary stream must be consistent.
In Blu-ray, any video timeline is a playlist. In Encore it is possible to put multiple clips into a timeline, and these must be the same.
Same video type & format
Same Audio type & format.
Do you have any timelines with multiple clips on them?

Optimization for wireless video streaming

Hi - does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for optimizing Mac OSX 10.6.8 for wireless video streaming?
I'm using tvmobili to stream videos and for the most part it works ok for me but I'm pretty sure I can make things work better if my Mac was using its resources better...for example, I can stream reasonably well via my 5Ghz wireless connection from a recently rebooted machine. But it seems like perhaps after 60-90 minutes into a video it appears either the Mac or the network has slowed down and the video becomes choppy. (I'm investiagting the network side as well).
...amy suggestions?
Thanks...Marc

We are planning to use aironet 1600/2600 series using video streaming server having streaming optimization..
1600/2600 AP don't support 802.11ac. Next, 2600 is 3x4:3.
Personally, if you're going to push HD streaming down, I wouldn't recommend anything other than a 3700.
We've done a similar exercise a few months ago where we lined up between 50 to 60 Chromebooks. All the Chromebooks were associated to a single AP and we streamed HD video from the site (where we were doing the testing) all the way to the site where the HD video was stored, our DC. We had no problems whatsoever and the 3700 GigabitEthernet interface wasn't even hitting 40% utilization. (Our access switches have 1 Gbps uplink to the site distro. The site distro has a 1 Gbps uplink all the way to the DC.)
When we tried using our cheap-a$$ HP Mini netbooks, we had difficulty getting them to stream the videos even with 5 of these netbooks because the CPU of the netbooks simply couldn't cope.
What I would like to ask is this: How important is the capabilities to have seamless streaming of HD videos down to the clients? If it's that important, then don't skimp on the choice of AP. When you're dealing with wireless, it's more expensive to look at the price of the APs and then regret later than get the best AP for the job.

Wireless Video Streaming

Use Case: 80 users connected to a wireless network. The wireless network has HD videos in its cloud storage and it is intended to allow users to stream this content on the BYOD devices. The users are free to chose content they want to view. Internet will not be shared with these users. Will a 3x4/4x4 Dual Band 802.11ac MU MIMO soc work in this case? Intention is to use only one Access Point for all users.

Nokia N95 8GB Youtube video streaming error

I have Youtube installed on my hand set. But when trying to play any dispayed video, after a while it says "connection to video streaming server timed out"
Do anyone got an idea as to what I should do to get this problem sorted out?
(I have checked the settings of both the WLAN and Real Player and made sure those are same)
Johns-UAE

just to let people know for a fact what to do and to thank vishnu as his answer is the one!!! its definatly this....
(read to the bottom for extra info and alternate way)
vishnu on 21 September 2008:
Hi,
I was having the same problem.
I fixed mine though.
It is down to the rtsp (real time streaming protocol)port which is 554.
If you set on your mobile
lowest udp port:6970
Highest udp port:6999
Then on your home router set up port range triggering/fowrding so that
port (554 to 554) is forwaded to port (6970 to 6999)
to find port fowarding/trigger you need to type your router ip adress into your webbrowser adress bar its usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
if you go to start then run and type cmd the enter when the black box apears (dos prompt) type ipconfig then enter. this will tell you your router address if you do not know it!
Also i only needed to specify a single port i.e 544 i did not need to put 544 -544 but some poeple will.
Also i used this range 6970 - 32000
this means your phones original settings will work fine!!! aslongs as proxy is off lol but i think that has been stated enough!! the main thing is the port forwarding on your router!!!

Create a Flash-DVD with videos on a streaming server

Hello
As I am new to this forum, I hope I found the best place for my question. I have rented a few GB's on a streaming server, becouse I plan to open a little website with dancing videos on it. I have Adobe premiere pro cs4 to cut my video and encore to build a dvd. Since the dvd menu is quite practical I would like to use encore to place exactly the same project on my servers. This is how far as i got: I changed the script file so that my flash files got uploaded to my streaming server. I loaded the index.html, flashdvd.swf and AuthoredContent.xml onto my webserver, but nothing works..... I know that my streamingserver uses Wowza software... could this be the problem? Do I need a Adobe Streaming Server???
If you want to check the files, please don't hesitate to see www.dance-tv.ch/swidako'09/index.html This is the "progressive download" version of the project, but it seems to have the same problem as the one on the streaming server.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you
Oliver

A PNG sequence can be used if you will go through the Flash authoring app itself to add interactivity, for example. If not, or in either case, you can create a FLV (Flash video) file with alpha. This can be used directly with the Flash player on the web.
Just pull the key with Keylight, and when it's done, Add the Comp to the Render Queue, set the Output Module's channels to RGB+Alpha and then pick Flash Video (FLV) as format, with one of the Flash 8 presets. The preset will instruct you in the comment field to adjust the stretch settings in the Output Module to the size specified by the preset.
For more information, see Render and export a Composition as an FLV or F4V file in After Effects Help.

Remote video streaming not working with Windows Server Essentials Media Pack

I installed Server Essentials Media Pack and the video streaming via remote access does not seem to be working. I see all the video files on the server's remotewebaccess page in "Media Library" group. When I try to play the video in Chrome
the player appears for a brief moment, but then the browser starts downloading the entire file. With Internet Explorer the empty browser window opens and the download starts. I am trying it while outside of my local network. The video streaming used to work
with Server 2012 Esesentials. Am I missing some additional codecs or remote streaming is no longer supported?

Hi,
What’s the default player for these media files on your computer? The issue may be caused by the default player could not load the media file correctly. Please make sure Windows Media Player
with full codec installed is the default one. And then check if the media streaming feature could work as normal. Here is an article about how to configure the media streaming feature, hope it helps.

Upgrade FMS2 - Streaming Server 3.5 - Video not streaming - NetConnection.Connect.Rejected

I have Flash Media Server 2 set up with a simple bandwidth detection application (with serverside code), and a videoplayer application (no serverside code). I have upgraded to Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 and have managed to successfully get video to stream using the basic examples on the startup screen both locally and from another machine. However, when I try and connect to either the bandwidth detection application, or the videoplayer I get the error message:
NetConnection.Connect.Rejected
[ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (**my appname**/) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
I saw another post in this forum saying that for custom applications you need Flash Media Interactive Server instead of Streaming Server. This worries me as I'm quite far down this route now and don't want to tell my boss that actually we need to find another £2k to make this a viable solution! But looking at the credentials of Flash Media Streaming server (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/compare/), it seems to be that what I want to do is viable. At worst I would have thought that only the bandwidth application would be a problem as it has serverside code. But even so, the Streaming Server apparently does have bandwidth detection. How does this work then?
By having the Steaming Server am I somehow tied into Adobe video players if I want to use the streaming capabliities? Am I not able to have my own named application? Or is it simply likely that there is some setting somewhere I have missed which is causing the error.
Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm struggling to get to the root of these answers on my own.

You just need to define handlers specially onBWDone on client side to do Bandwidth detection. Just check example "Bandwidth" in documentation/samples/Bandwidth/Bandwidth.as.
Since you are using VOD, i think you can just pass "true" as second parameter when you make nc.connect call in you client side and VOD application would make call to checkBandwidth and would call onBWDone when it finishes bandwidth detection. Read more about this in Client API documentation in SSLR.pdf and Dev_Guide.pdf.
Also Adobe has come with advanced Bandwidth detection which you can do using client-side Flash Player API's - Please check this link for more info:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_on_demand.html
Also you can NetStreamInfo documentation which should be present in AS3LR (check documentation folder of FMS)

Playing video from a streaming server

Hi I've been using the insert flash video feature in dreamweaver CS3, using progressive download video and it works just fine. But lately I've hired a flash media server to host my videos and whent I try to use the streaming video option it gives me this error message when I type the address of the video:
The URL cannot contain spaces or special characters.
Change the path or file name and try again
The address of my video is: rtmp://p8bezucu.rtmphost.com/testevideo/portfolio.flv
appreciate any help

I have never used a streaming server, but looking at the instructions for inserting an FLV, it seems as though the name of the file doesn't go in the Server URI field. See the relevant help file: http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7c9e.h tml.
It says that Server URI specifies the server name, application name, and instance name in the form rtmp://www.example.com/app_name/instance_name. The name of the FLV goes in the Stream Name field.

When I stream videos from my laptop onto my Apple TV via my iPad 2 using the Air Video app/server the video plays great however when I pause the video the Apple TV reverts back to the home screen within a few seconds and then when I want to restart watching the video I have to re-buffer the video. Is there any way I can stop the Apple TV from reverting back to the home screen when I pause the video I’m watching?

Video Streaming from Server

My configuration at school:
20 iPads connected by Wifi to Server ( Mac Mini Server ML )
So i can upload and download iWork-Documents via WebDav. This document pool works fine
My next idea is to set up a media pool.
I download a lot of relevant videos ( mp3 ) to the hard disc of the server. Than students should be able to have access to these films and can stream these videos during lesson. Or teachers can stream a video from server to iPad which is connected to a projector.
How to arrange such video pool.

You can use hosted videos from a streaming server, if your organization has those.
But then if the videos are on a restricted server, you might run into problems making it accessible for your users (if they are scattered all over the places, especially not being in the same domain as the restrcited hosted server.)
You can try to downlaod and manually insert them to the Slide as Event Video/Multi Slide Sync Video, in both cases you can araange for a skin/playbar to control video.
Alternately, Can you try to open the URL for your Vidoe as an Action (on Enter Slide-- Open a File or URL) and see if that suits.

Rajeev.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

For FREE do the following:
When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause.
Take a screen shot: Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab. Will do the above with just a single click.
If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search. This way, you can find exactly what you want.

Streaming Live Video using Flash Media Encoder/Flash Media Streaming Server

We currently get a video feed from local cable channel that gets streamed live to our internet website. It gets encoded first on our Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Encoder and then gets published on another Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Services. We are trying to replace these two servers with another solution and the two things driving this project are:
1. These two servers are coming to an end of life cycle so we need to replace the hardware and upgrade the OS.
2. They currently only support Windows compatible file formats. Just like other organizations out there, iPAD users are popping up and they want to view these video streaming from their iPAD.
That's why we are looking at Adobe Flash Media Encoder3 and Flash Media Streaming Server 4.5. My questions for the experts out there are:
1. Can Adobe Flash Media Encoder and Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server can replace our current solution?
2. Do we need both Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server or can Flash Media Streaming Server also can encode video feed?
3. Can Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server can run on the same server?
4. Our Windows Media Services server also has few on-demand publishing points along with a live video streaming. Can above mentioned Adobe products support having live streaming publishing point along with on-demand video publishing points?
5. Does Adobe Flash Media Encoder only support Flash and Quicktime or does it also support .wmv?
I called the sales to find the answers to these questions but he basically read the features listed on the Adobe product website and couldn't really answer these questions.
Any help in find the answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you.

FYI - I was able to do it by using the "onFI" handler of the embedded NetStream object.
myVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onVideoStateChange);
function onVideoStateChange(evt:fl.video.VideoEvent)
// trace("State = " + evt.state);
if ( evt.state == "playing" )
if (!ns)
ns = myVideo.getVideoPlayer(evt.vp).netStream;
ns.client.onFI = onFIHandler;
function onFIHandler(infoObj:Object):void
var ts:String = infoObj.st;
trace("system time: " + ts);
ExternalInterface.call("updateTimeStamp", ts);

I give up. Please recommend video streaming server
