Live feed for FMS

Hi,
Is there any way to publish in FMS a live stream not coming
from a web cam or any other hw device.
I'm interesting in knowing if there is a public API that
enables the insertion of a feed from a stream buffer generated by
an external software running in the same host where FMS is located
Thanks in advance

Ido,
It is rather easy to capture the Camtasia "web" cam and
publish to FMS. Listed below are the high level steps necessary.
Create Flash application with below scriptlets
-- _nc = new NetConnection("rtmp://yourConnection")
-- m_ns = new NetStream(__nc)
-- var cam:Camera = Camera.get(getLiveCamera());
-- function getLiveCamera():Number {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < Camera.names.length; i++) {
if (Camera.names
== "Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver") {
return i;
} else {
return null;
-- m_ns.attachVideo(cam);
-- m_ns.publish( "_Stream");
Run Camtasia Recorder
-- Set Enable Live Output under Live Tab.
-- Set Live Capture Rate.
-- Set additional parameters as required.
-- Start recording.
Hope this helps out...

What?
Reduce your bit rate. If you set it too low, the video will be ugly. Try 2 pass encoding to maximize visual quality at lower bit rates.
Try exporting:

No live Quicktime feeds for E3?

Maybe somewhat predictable, but I wonder why there aren't any live Quicktime-based feeds for E3 2007?
I'm watching the live Sony press conference right now, but of course it's a WMV stream playing in Flip4Mac which, with the best will in the world, is not terribly stable.
I would have thought Apple would be making more effort to make Quicktime the Internet standard.

redex,
See my post here: https://community.bt.com/t5/Watching-BT-Sport-via-the-App-or/VCO17/td-p/1210777
In particular the bit about silverlight.
Check which version you have, but I would go for the un-install, clean, re-install option, and see if that helps.

Customize away message for live feed?

I would like to set up an away message where the content is pulled from a live feed. I assume this is possible because that's essentially what it does when it displays the current song on iTunes.
Does anyone know any shareware/freeware that can do this, or other way to set this up? Specifically, there is an online queryable database I'd like to pull the away message from.

Recording Live Streams on FMS remotely

Hi,
We're using FMSS 3 to stream live feeds from cameras.
However, we'd also like to have the ability to (via an
administration site) record these live streams and allow the user
to view pre-recorded streams instead of the live ones.
Does anyone know of an example of how I can tell FMS to start
recording a stream (via a web service or AS), and then how to stop
it? Just for clarification - we don't want FMS to record a stream
from the user's own camera. We want to record the live streams that
are already streaming on FMS.
Thanks,
Filip Stanek

How to have a live feed from application server log file (realtime viewr )

how to have a live feed from application server log file (realtime viewr for apps log files)
hi , thank you for reading my post.
is there any way to have a live feed of Application server log ?
for example is there any application that can watch the log file and show the changes as new log items come in ?
can some one with more experience help ?

Your question would be more suited to the Developer Forums
http://devforums.apple.com
but anyway...
My goal is to develop a web application that is able to run on iPhone too, to capture the audio and video content from its camera and mic.
Web Apps running in Safari don't have access to the camera or mic hardware.
Or I should built a native application distributed through Apple store?
That is your only option, although such a system already exists:

Video Camera Live Feed

Hey all!
I'm planning to use a video camera to show a "live feed" of an audience during an award ceremony. I have a slight problem as I was planning to create animations in flash and put them into a Keynote presentation. I cannot pre-record these "live feeds" as I was also going to show the winners of awards on the stage through the camera. Is there an application that allows you to show live feeds through either a Keynote presentation or even just full screen, as I will be showing the Keynote through a projector.
Thanks a lot,
James

You can have live video inside a keynote slide if that's what you are looking for. I just did it with a network camera. The problem is that it has about a three second delay... but if you want to show your local audience a remote "live" video within the presentation (without switching out and back), you can.
If you can open the stream with quicktime, save it as a quicktime movie and then import the movie in the slide. When played, it will connect and show the video, live minus a couple of seconds (in my case).
Playing a different source, such as a firewire DV stream would be great but I have not found out how. For now.
If you want to switch from a keynote presentation to video without a switcher, you can command-tab to a software that displays a full-screen video. For that I use EyeTV in full-screen mode at the same time as I play my presentation... need to show the video? click option-tab to switch back and forth between the two apps.
Hope this gives a few ideas.

Can I capture and record live feed on "Final Cut Pro X"?

I am an intern at my church and we are wanting to finish upgrading everything to mac at the church but we are needing a program that can capture live feed and later edit it so that I can create TV programs; hence, why I am needing to know can Final Cut Pro X capture live feed and record it? Along with that I need to know can I import avi. video files into Final Cut Pro X and it still allow me to edit them for our TV program? Thank you ahead of time for all of your help. Right now we are capturing in SD and I need to make sure it will also not be a problem capturing in SD and will make a smooth transition when we go to HD.

See here:
Re: import live video hvr v1e
The above discusses HDV over firewire which is high def, DV will be the same deal.
So it depends on what type of camera you are going to use.
If you jump to an AVCHD USB cam the game changes.
So far I'm not aware of a direct import method.
There are workarounds with additional equipment at present.

Can you enable subtitles on Sky News live feed

So Sky News is one of the new apps on the latest update. I am wondering if it is possible to enable subtitles on the live feed? This way it could be a cost effective route for the sky news feed you see in control rooms.

Not sure.
Ensure subtitles/closed captioing is enabled in Settings.
When you use Sky News on AppleTV try holding the select button while playing - it may give an option to enable subtitles - if not it's probably not supported.

Archiving live stream at FMS and injecting metadata: VP6 good h264 not

When I record a live stream at FMS, one in which I've injected metadata in my main.asc file, the archived file plays back fine. The metadata plays back too. I'm able to retreive it just fine - if I encode VP6.
If I encode h.264 the file plays back but the metadata does not. The fact that the archived file is created and plays back tells me things are wired correctly. The only thing I changed is the format.
According to FMS docs (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9 5e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35)
..."The recording format is determined by the filename you pass to the Stream.get()
method."
So my record code looks like the following:
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
     trace("onPublish");
     s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     if(s){
         s.record();
     this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
My code that injects the data in to the stream looks like this:
Client.prototype.sendDataEvent = function(data) {
     trace("Call to sendDataEvent...");
     this.newStream = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     this.newStream.send("onTextData",data);
All must be wired correctly because the metadata comes through during the live stream. On play back of the archive though, the metadata doesn't appear to be there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

My apologies on the s.play() confusion. I had been trying different versions of the code and posted the one without it.
Whether I include s.play() or not the file gets created. Here are the various versions of the onPublish() function I've tried (differences in red):
1.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
    trace("onPublish");
    s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    if(s){
        s.record();
        s.play("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
2.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
    trace("onPublish");
    s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    if(s){
        s.record();
        s.play(stream);
    this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
3.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
     trace("onPublish");
     s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     if(s){
         s.record();
     this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
All produce the same result - an archived file called mp4:streamname.f4v in my streams folder. This file plays back fine but does not play back the commands.
On your other question, about things working fine for VP6, it works fine for FLV. A file called streamname.flv is produced. This file plays back fine and does indeed play back commands baked into the file as well. This is what makes me believe the code is not the problem. If it works perfectly for one format, there would seem to be very little I could do in my code to break things for the other.
Can you try this using the record() code snippets in the live docs Stream.record() section?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9 5e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35
All you'd need is the code snippets there to record your live stream and another server side function to inject commands into that live stream. Here is that function:
Client.prototype.sendDataEvent = function(data) {
    trace("Call to sendDataEvent...");
    this.newStream = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    this.newStream.send("onTextData",data);
Do something simple like call onTextData and pass some text in the data parameter. Then on the client side viewer, handle the onTextData method. It will receive the text. Display it in a text area or something.
If you record while injecting this text into your stream, the text should display on playback of the archived file. It will if you encode VP6/FLV, but not if you encode H.264/F4V.
Let me know what you discover.
