Live stream not live- plays like VOD

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this belongs in the AS3 forum or the streaming forum, but here it is.
I wrote a pair CS3/AS3 players to send and receive a live video stream (webcam) from a browser. The first is called broadcaster. It makes a NetConnection to my server, publishes a stream and attaches the camera and microphone. This works fine. The stream is live.
The second is originally called receiver. Using an instance of flash.media.video on the stage it also makes a NetConnectin, attaches a stream and calls play. This also works, BUT the receiver stream is not live. It starts playing at time=0 like a VOD.
--- broadcaster.swf ---
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection()
connection.connect(connect_url); // my server/application/instance
var stream = new NetStream(connection);
stream.publish("mass", "live"); // live means stream live without recording on the server
stream.attachCamera(Camera.getCamera());
stream.attachAudio( Microphone.getMicrophone() );
--- receiver.swf---
connection.connect(connect_url);
var stream = new NetStream(connection);
video1.attachNetStream(stream); // video1 is on the stage (flash.media.video not FLVPlayback)
stream.play("mass", -1, -1, true); // -1 means play live stream only, -1 means start at 'wherever the live stream is'
How can the receiver not obey the -1, -1 parameters especially if the broadcaster is not recording on the server. How can i see the beginning of the stream!
I believe I read that the flash plugin 9.0+ uses the on2 codec, and I also saw some discussion about on2 not able to stream live -- or not live from the browser plugin, only the flash media encoder.
Can anybody tell me what is going on?
Thanks
Ted

I tried streaming with the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder3 instead of my Broadcater.swf. This connects fine and pushes h.264 no problem.
But the reciever is still seeng VOD not Live video.
Is there something wrong with my receiver?

Capture the live stream and than play it as vod

Hi guys,
Could anyone explain how can I record the live stream and than play it as a vod at later time?
Is it possible to achive it?
Can you give any tips guys?

Hi Mark,
You can record a livestream by doing a server side record in you application. For example :
1. Create a folder called test under applications
2. Within this folder create a main.asc in any text editor and add :
var pubCount = 0;
application.onConnect=function(clientObj){
          trace("          on connect ");
          return true;
application.onDisconnect=function(clientObj){
          trace("          on disconnect ");
application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("          in application publish : " + streamObj.name);
if(pubCount <= 1)
       streamObj.record("record");
else
       streamObj.record("append");
pubCount++;
application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("on unpublish : " + streamObj.type + ":" + streamObj.name);
streamObj.record(false);
3. You can then publish a stream with the container. If you're using FMLE publish as : mp4:sample.mp4, then the stream sample.mp4 will be recored.
You can then either host the recorded stream directly in AMS and use as vod file or run the post processor tool f4vpp and use it to play in vlc or other players.
Hope this hepls. Let me know if you have any other query.
Thanks,
Apurva

Why can't I get live streaming video to play

Why can't I get live streaming video to play in Safari?

Sorry, but that is old info. On my 21" iMac, I'm running 10.7.1 and the version of Safari is 5.1. On my 24" iMac, I'm running 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1. I have even tried to get it to run in Firefox and still no results. I've been able to do live streaming previously, but today I'm hitting a road block. Could there be a setting or preference that I do not have set properly?

TCS live stream not playing in SnS

Hi , I have configured TCS to stream to the SnS server, I can view the stream in VLC player no problem, but when I create a live event on SnS I get no video stream, not even a video window appears.
many thanks Scott

Hi Scott,
You might want to make sure the SW version of the TCS is compatible with the SW version of the SnS server.
here is the link to verify:

Video live stream won't play

My Maxx plays some live news videos and sometimes it does not depending on the site. I tried different video players like the MX and others to no avail. I tried on chrome
And other browsers.
Not sure which way to go with this.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I went to a Verizon store (agent) yesterday after work and tried the S4. They didn't have a live S5, and it did play the sites I normally use. The iPhone was able to live stream it also. I think its the Razor Max that's missing whatever it needs to play those videos.... plug ins, etc....
Its mind boggling with all these phones out there.
Anyway, thanks for your input, Suzy.

Nokia E6 live streaming not working

its only one month i've updated my mobibe due to hanging problem and now it s giving me another pain for not playing any live streaming video like online tv or you tube streaming... Also still have the hanging problem.
Help me out if anybody has a solution.

Hi Lance09
Sorry to hear that you are having troubles.
Did you purchase a free trial through the AFL Live Pass Online or did you purchase through IN APP subscription?
Can you please try these troubleshooting steps:
If using your fixed line connection (ADSL, CABLE or NBN), please powercycle your modem and computer: Unplug from power > Leave off for 10 mins > then Plug back in and re start. This will often force a line update through to your modem advising the signal is restored.
Can you then please try clearing your Cache, Cookies and Browser history. To clear these please try the steps below:
From the home screen, tap the Settings button. On the Settings screen, scroll down and tap the Safari button. Under the 'Privacy' section of the Safari screen, tap the button labeled Clear Cookies and Data. On the confirmation screen, tap Clear Cookies and Data.
If still no luck, please try uninstalling and re installing the app from the app store.
Let us know how you go.

Can you help me how to fix it ? Sr my poor English

Is the XML a copy/paste? If so you may have a typo in your media url. There
is a space in "liv e". That could be the issue.

Live streaming not working using REOPS

I made live streaming work using Live Encoder and a flash player I created with FlvPlayback component. It works fine. Now I like to try live streaming using REOPS. I created a config xml file using similar settings in src/assets/data/Playerconfig_LiveStreaming.xml:
isLive = true
<streamtype>live</streamtype>
part of my xml file is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<player
    width="640" height="480"
    scaleMode="stretch" isLive="true" autoPlay="true" updateInterval="250"
    hasCaptions="false">
    <mediaElement>
        <mediaElement>
            <id>seeker</id>
            <mimeType>video/x-flv</mimeType>
            <streamType>live</streamType>
            <deliveryType>streaming</deliveryType>
            <media url="rtmp://<myMediaStreamingServerName>:1935/<myapplicationName>/live/livestream" />
        </mediaElement>
    </mediaElement>
</player>
in adobe live encoder, I have setting like this:
URL: rtmp://<myMediaStreamingServerName>:1935/<myapplicationName>/live
stream: livestream
but no matter how hard I tried, it never works for me. I used the same settings for my own player which works fine with live streaming.
Anyone has any ideas on how to make live streaming work with REOPS?
Thanks a lot.

Live stream won't play on Windows

We're using QTSS and QTBroadcaster to stream a live event. Everything works fine on Mac clients, but Windows clients simply can't get the stream unless it's opened directly in QuickTime Player. We have a website with an embedded link for the stream, and have tried setting it up using both a raw <embed> tag and javascript (per Apple's instructions).
Windows browsers display the page and the QT logo where the movie should be; no browser (Win or Mac) is able to display the stream directly, without an enclosing website. This is a change from last year, when we just put up a URL to the stream. It all worked last year; we didn't change a thing, and expected it to just work again. It doesn't. I am confused, frustrated, and more than a little discouraged and disgusted. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I was finally able to make the page work by adding attributes to pass to the QT plugin; it works using IE 7 and 8, and Safari; it does not work with FireFox on any platform (Windows or Mac), so we directed FireFox users to view the link directly in the QT Player or use a different browser.
Use the "Download the JavaScript files" link at http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html and save the file according to the instructions on that page. Then use the following bit of JavaScript on your page to embed the QT player, assuming the stream is at MY.WEBSITE.COM and is called QTMOVIE.SDP:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
QT_WriteOBJECT('samplemovie.mov', '540', '420', '',
'qtsrc', 'rtsp://my.website.com/qtmovie.sdp',
'autoplay', 'true',
'type', 'video/quicktime',
'emb#bgcolor', 'black',
'align', 'middle');
</script>
The embedded player (in this example) will be 540x420. It's important to include the player size, otherwise it tends to get masked and you will see only part of the picture (for example, a 200x160 piece in the middle).
Hope this saves someone else a little trouble.

ITunes Festival live streaming not working

Every time I go to the iTunes Festival page in the iTunes Store I keep getting the message of:
"This computer does not support iTunes Festival live streaming."
Why not? Does it only work with apple computers (not windows)? I wanna watch Paul Simon!! =D
-Michael

Lucky for you skalarocks. It's 16th and I still cannot access any of the previosu concerts on iTunes!
I contacted customer support who advised
"I have done some research for you and found that there is a delay in the on demand streaming. "
And then directed me here. I think I am leaning towards an earlier comment about Apple Techs not having a clue.
I suppose they are giving it away so there is no profit in it they wont want to support a fix. Not goign to that much trouble after all skalarocks

Stream not found. access_log: GET /:///vod/:///vod/testSeg1-Frag1

Hi.
i want to setup up the f4fmodule but i always get the error "stream not found" in OSMF Player
in apache access_log i found GET /:///vod/:///vod/testSeg1-Frag1 HTTP/1.1" 404
is there somthing wrong with the config of the f4fmodule
LoadModule f4fhttp_module                    /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_f4fhttp.so
<Location /vod>
    HttpStreamingEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "/srv/..vhosts.../httpdocs/vod"
</Location>
i used the f4fpackager on my desktop pc an copy all files to the vod-folder (test.f4m, test.f4f, test.f4x)
where must i search the problem? in the module or in the packager?
Many thank for help.

Hi,
i found the mistake:
To play a video in OSMF Player, request an F4M file, also called a manifest file. The request syntax for on-demand streaming is:
http://<server-name>/<location-tag-alias>/<manifest-file-name>.f4m
Note: The syntax is the same for all on-demand use cases.
I tryed to load the test.f4m - File in OSMF - Player with: "vod/test.f4m"
But the correct syntax is with the total URL.
Thanks!

6680-Voda live streaming-Not enough Bandwidth

Got a Nokia 6680 yesterday and could get the streaming Sky on Voda live no problem. I have tried today, it is saying not enough bandwidth and to check my network settings.
Not sure what to do at this point.
Any help would be appreciated please.

This is probably because you are not in a 3G reception area. The connection will be via GPRS and therefore not sufficient for video streaming (in most cases).
You can generally tell by look at the service indicator what sort of area you are in.

ITunes Festival 2012 Live stream not working

Has anyone found a way to watch the itunes festival 2012 live from their PC?

I'm having the same issues. I've tried to get some tech support but can't because the iTunes Store Support don't work weekends. I've had sent 3 emails before I got anything back from Apple/iTunes. I sent out 3 emails this morning; 1st email stated after much frustration I was able to catch the latter 2/3 of Jack White's concert; 2nd email stated that I'm having issues trying to watch the recorded concert of Band of Horses and it will not play; 3rd email was a video of the 30 seconds of the Band of Horses concert that I was able to watch. I'm not holding my breath that Apple will do anything to work out the bugs in their iTunes program so its customers could enjoy the festival.
