Live Stream Help!!!

Hi,
I have been doing a lot of Flash with progressive download
and also streaming Flash but I have been asked to create a piece
that uses live streaming Flash. I tried using the Flash Import
wizard with the RTMP link that I was given but alas, it failed to
work. I don't understand the live streaming video...
I am having troubles finding a tutorial on this. I looked at
the Flash tutorials and only found the basics of using the Flash
wizard.
Please help!
Thanks!

Okay, I guess I was panicking and feeling the stress of a
tight deadline. I actually was doing fine but there was a problem
with my live streaming video link!
However, the skin that I am using from the Adobe provided
skins (which are really great!) has a full screen button and that
button is not working.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Live Streaming Help

I have a flash media server that I'm sucessfully using to
stream .flv videos. Now I'm wondering how to set up an application
on my FMS to stream live video using the new encoder.
I have the new encoder and the server - I just need some
basic instructions on how to make the two work together to get a
live stream working. The encoder is local and the FMS is at a
colocation facility and I have remote access.
Cheers,
Jim

Here's what works for me.
I presume that in FME, you have specified a camera and have
FME connected to FMS. In FME, I specify the folder (streamtest) and
then specify a stream name (abc).
In FMS, create an empty folder called "streamtest" in your
apps folder.
In Flash 8, drag out a video component and specify the stream
thusly
rtmp://(whatever your ip address is)/streamtest/abc
Be sure that islive is set to true. Publish and upload to
server.
You should be able to see your fme stream in the video
component if everything works.
That's what I did. Hope it helps.

First live stream help! What equipment to use?

My company will be streaming a local event soon and I was
wondering what equipment is needed/recommended to use. All I can
come up with is a Camera, Laptop and Internet access? I'm sure
theres something else. How do I get the stream to my server from a
Downtown area? Will bandwidth be out of this world if it is High
Def and lots of viewers? Looking for some some help in the right
direction. Also, is it possible to have 2 cameras streaming?

I replied to the dupe of this post in the FMS forum. In short
it comes down to video production equipment. You need to approach
it like it you would any video production. Yes you could get the
show off with those 3 pieces of equip (plus capture card) but it
may wind up looking like ***.

Help understand Visual Communicator Live Streaming

Up to know I run live streaming through our Steaming server using FMS and Flash Media Live Encoder as we only needed one camera for live video feeds.
We are looking at the ability now to use 2 live cameras and also the ability to snap in pre recorded video during live feeds and also provide lower third titles.
I am looking at:
Adobe Visual Communicator 3
Wirecast 4
CutFour
All of these provide the possible live switching I need.
I'm at the moment looking at the Trial version of Visual communicator and I am struggling getting my head around a few things.
I can hook up 2 -3 Sony A1 HD cameras in SD no problem and running it though FMS is fine. During test streams clicking on the cameras using the mini switcher is straight forward.
howevr I am struggling to work out how to do the following:
Add prerecorded video clips to Camera 3? ( in the Setup Tab it says " No Camera found - please connect a camera or replace with Photo or video Clip) How do I replace with a Video Clip?
How do I add premade titles, so that during the live feed I can put lower third titles in?
Finally, How do Provide an intro looping video to play before the live feed starts?
Any instructions would be appreciated

Help with setup for live streaming

I'm trying to set up a live stream that's viewable on my
website.
I have two machines behind a router with one being the
webserver running FMS (windows 2003) and the other being the
encoding machine running FME (windows XP).
When I set up FME, I put in the following as the url to the
server "rtmp://
computernamewebserver/live/" with the session name being
"test".
This has no problems connecting to FMS .
On the webserver/FMS, I created a *.swf file which basically
contains just a flvplayback object with the URL set to "rtmp://
computernamewebserver/live/test".
Now after I publish this, I can view the video via the
published html file from within the network, but when I try outside
of the network, it doesn't work and I get no error messages so it's
hard to debug.
I have port 80 forwarded to my webserver/FMS machine. I tried
forwarding port 1935 to both my webserver/FMS machine and the FME
machine with no success.
I've tried playing around with the rtmp URL by changing the
computernamewebserver from the internally recognized
computer name to the externally recognized URL to my webserver.
The solution is probably something simple, but since this is
my first attempt at flash streaming, it's not obvious to me and
I've tried searching for the solution. My suspicion is that there's
some config file somewhere that I need to config that I don't know
about or maybe it's some port issue. Neither of my machines have
windows based firewall disabled.

"Now after I publish this, I can view the video..." Well this
shows that FMS is working fine, so I am guessing that it is an
outside network issue.
"Neither of my machines have windows based firewall disabled.
" I don't know if this is the cause either, as a host based
firewall should prevent any connections from arriving, either by
the internal lan or the external (well, at least I think that is
the case, I dont know if windows still allows hosts on the same
subnet to have local lan permissions or what they do with their
crazy security model. That said it shouldn't be a problem.)
I would try to just telnet to the port that you have open to
make sure the connection can be established.
telnet computernamewebserver 1935 (this should open up a
socket, otherwise your port forwarding isnt working correctly.)
If telnet works ok, perhaps its an issue with the swf. I
would code the minimal things needed to just get a stream playing
from the external network (perhaps just using the vod service, not
the live, to make things simple).
Hope that helps.

Hello,pls help,why i cant able to watch live streaming?in to other country?

Hello,pls help,why i cant able to watch live streaming?in to other country?i used safari and tune in i got error result.thanks

Without knowing what streaming service you're attempting to use it's impossible to say with any certainty, but confirm that the site you wish to use allows connections from outside of its country. Many live streaming services, particularly those that show live TV shows or other such content, are limited to access only from users in the service's country.
Regards.

Hi intldrag,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
The camcorder is capable to stream live using the Ustream app in your smartphone as long as it has the capability to tether. Here's the guide on how to perform Live Streaming with your smartphone:

Hi Suresh.M
As I can see a similar question on the Windows Phone Streaming Media discussion:
https://phonesm.codeplex.com/discussions/545737
You may need check into the call stack and find out what is the root cause, for instance if there any chance that your phone cannot reach to the video address, and did you enable some network capabilities, etc.

HDS live streaming to Flash not working

Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.5 r4013
Windows 2008
Sources:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/live-multi-bitrate-video-http-flas h-ios.html
Live streaming a single or multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash does not work. I have followed the instructions on the 2 sources listed above repeatedly, but I can’t get live streaming over HTTP to Flash to work. Live streaming to iOS over HTTP works with no problems (single and multi-bitrate streams).
I have tried the troubleshooting steps from the following:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12efac195bd -8000.html
Troubleshoot live streaming (HTTP)
1.      Services window (Windows): Flash Media Server (FMS), Flash Media Administration Server, and FMSHttpd services are running. ✓
2.      Verified that the request URL is correct. ✓
3.      Configured ports:
a.      Configure Apache to use port 80. Open rootinstall/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor. Change the line Listen 8134 to Listen 80.
b.     Configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80. Open rootinstall/conf/fms.ini in a text editor. Remove 80 from the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT parameter so the parameter looks like the following: ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935 ✓
4.      Placed a crossdomain.xml file to the rootinstall/webroot directory. ✓
5.      In Flash Media Live Encoder, select the Encoding Options tab, choose Output from the Panel options menu, and verify the following:
a) The value of FMS URL is rtmp://fms-dns-or-ip/livepkgr. If you’re testing on the same server as Flash Media Server, you can use the value localhost for fms-dns-or-ip. ✓
b) For a single stream, the value of Stream is livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
c) For adaptive bitrate streaming, the value of Stream is livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent. ✓
Flash Media Live Encoder uses this value to create unique stream names. To use another encoder, provide your own unique stream names, for example, livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent, livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent.
The encoder is showing all 3 streams being published and streaming.
6. Check Administration Console: the livepkgr application and the 3 streams are running. ✓
7. Check the logs for errors. Flash Media Server logs are located in the rootinstall/logs folder. The master.xx.log file and the core.xx.log file show startup failures. Apache logs are located in the rootinstall/Apache2.2/logs folder. X
a)   core00.log: these errors did not occur every time that I tried playing the live stream but these are the only relevant errors in the logs.
1. 7968 (w)2611179     Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream2] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message
2. 7968 (w)2611179     Warning from libf4f.dll: [Utils] [livestream3] Discarded all queued Media Messages received before first Video Keyframe Message
b) edge00.log:

2.     [warn] bootstrap path is in event file is empty for event:livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent stream name:livestream1
As I mentioned, everything works on iOS and FMS seems to be creating all of the stream segments and meta files:
a.     The 3 streams are being created in: HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_
b.    FMS is creating the following files in each stream folder (livestream1, livestream2, livestream 3):
1. livestream1.bootstrap
2. livestream1.control
3. livestream1.meta
4. .f4f segments
5. .f4x segments
The appropriate files are also being created in the HD:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent folder, in which I have the following Manifest.xml and Event.xml files:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
<media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="200" />
<media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="500" />
<media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="1000" />
</manifest>
<Event>
<EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
<SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration>
    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
I’ve tried clearing the contents of both streams\_definst_ and events\_definst_\liveevent (keeping the xml files) after restarting the encoder, and creating a different event definst for the streams (liveevent2 for example).
We have an event in 2 weeks that we would like to stream to both Flash and iOS. Any help in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

One step closer:
Changed the crossdomain.xml file (more permissive settings).
Changed the encoding on FMLE to vp6. Working somewhat (don't know what I did to make it start streaming through hds).
But at least now I can get the individual streams in the set manifest file to work:
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream1.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream2.f4m
http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livevent/livestream3.f4m
BUT when I try to play the streams through the set manifest file from http://localhost/liveevent.f4m I'm getting the following error:
"The F4m document contains errors URL missing from Media tag." I'll search the forums to see if anyone else has come across this problem.
I used the f4m config tool to make the file. These are the file's contents:
<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">
<baseURL>http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>
<media href="livestream1.f4m " bitrate="200"/>
<media href="livestream2.f4m " bitrate="500"/>
<media href="livestream3.f4m " bitrate="1000"/>
</manifest>
Thanks

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...

How to handle the shared LIVE stream on Facebook that already became a VOD streaming file?

Hi all,
I can share a embedded MP4 file on Facebook with facebook OG tag so that people can view the video with inline video player.
Streaming from FMS 4.5, the embedded LIVE streaming link can be http://<mydomain>/VideoID.f4m
When internet user viewing/sharing the same link on their facebook, the view the link stream as well.
When the LIVE event has been completed, the recorded MP4 file would be work as VOD streaming, link like http://<mydomain>/hds-vod/VideoID.f4m
The problem is that when people click on the previously shared link on facebook, the embedded link is the "http://<mydomain>/VideoID.f4m" that do not exist.
How can i redirect the f4m to the VOD f4m address? Thanks.

You could use the Flash server Administrator API getLiveStreams() and read the xml the server throws you with actionscript on your flash
http://localhost:1111/admin/getLiveStreams?auser=username&apswd=password&appInst=application
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926 33e-7ff8.html
I would thow something like this.
<result>
<level>status</level>
<code>NetConnection.Call.Success</code>
<timestamp>7/13/2011 10:52:05 AM</timestamp>
<name>_defaultRoot_:_defaultVHost_:::_1</name>
<data>
<_0>live1</_0>
<_1>live2</_1>
</data>
</result>
Then read the data node and get the number of streams. use some actionscript if data# >= 100
then trace a message.
I haven't tried this. but i think is posible.

How do I create a variable video delay of a live stream...

I have a live video feed from my webcam in my Flash Application. I have a second video window next to it that I want to place a variable delayed video of the live stream. Therefore, I need to save the video stream in memory/disk and create this variable delay, say 5-60 seconds. As well as, continue to capture the live stream. The camera I am using suppots H.264 encoding.
How do I create a variable length queue or buffer to hold the video stream coming into the flash application. Do I create a memory variable or write this to disk ? I have been looking over the ActionScript 3.0 documentation and I can not figure out how to code this either way ( as a memory variable or write to disk queue ).
I want to be able to change the delay, view the delay stream in slow motion and scrub through the delayed stream.
I would like to do this with out having to use Flash Media Server.
Thanks,
Bob

I am sure it is practically impossible to accomplish that on the client side. Although theoretically it is conceivable to use NetStream.appendBytes() but it requires an extremely complex implementation.
I suggest you look into FMS DVR capacities:

Hello,
You will likely need to write a custom
MediaStreamSource that can access the media stream and parse it. Windows Phone supports h.264 natively and as long as the site serves up a media stream that contains h.264 frames you can parse it and have our built in decoder decode and display it. You
will need to have intimate knowledge of the streaming protocol used by the website that you are trying to play. You must also make sure that the website is not using protected content. IANAL so I would recommend that you have your local law professional
(lawyer) review the licensing of the website that you are attempting to connect to and stream from before continuing your development. Your lawyer can make sure make sure their licensing allows you to do this.
I hope this helps,
James
