Live Stream only spools, never connects.

Up until several weeks ago, I was able to watch Live Stream. Now, it only 'spools' and never connects. The chat message box says 'disconnected.' Firefox is my browser.

I know this is a problem with JWPlayer which is very widely used. When videos get converted to Mpeg4 (h.264) flash, the time information is often at the end of the video. This causes the player to try to buffer the entire video before it starts playing.
Interestingly, Quicktime Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro put the time information where it belongs, but most of the other tools to convert do not. I spent weeks trying to solve this problem for videos on my site www.dfdtv.com . The solution was right in front of me all the time, QT Pro.
You can find out for sure by just starting the video in question and just waiting for a long time. If it is the time atom problem, it will eventually start to play.
All of our videos' are now h.264 and if created with QT Pro they stream great using JWplayer/Firefox (and underneath it all Adobe Flash).

  • HTTP Live Streaming only works in Safari

    I have used the facillity in the share menu to export for HTTP Live streaming. I have uploaded the reulting directory to my wordpress site and can get the video to work in Safari. When I check itwith other browsers though it does not appear. Is there a reason for this?

    Because your not live streaming.  But seriously, it's a specialized codec you shouldn't use unless a client requires it.  Use plain old H.264 for the web.

  • Live stream - How To Detect connection success AND video stream receiving?

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to catch the Event when the NetConnection has successfully connected,
    And after being connected, but nostream is published to the server yet.
    I'd to catch the Event in OSMF Player, when a real video stream has started to be pusblished to server, and of course is received in the player.
    Because i dont find the Event making a difference between connection and stream receiving.
    Thanks.
    Seb

    you should watch for a NetStream.Connect.Closed NetStatusEvent being sent to the NetConnection object, where the event.info.stream object is the NetStream in question.

  • Video Live-Stream issue

    Hi,
    I'm not very familiar with jmf but i got it to play a local video file.
    my problem is now to play a livestream, when i try to create the player it seems that the player waits until it got all data.
    so the programm runs and it never comes to an end
    the streaming server recognize it as a listener so it seems to get the data but will only play it when transfer is complete
    any idea how i can play the stream?
    try{
                MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("http://127.0.0.1/stream");
                DataSource  src = Manager.createDataSource(ml);
                src.connect();
                src.start();
    }catch (Exception e){
    mediaPlayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(src);

    shrug I've never used the conveniance function createRealizedPlayer, I've always done it manually. With that said, I'm pretty sure that Player objects handle the connecting/opening of their DataSource themself.
    Just positing a guess here, but I'd imagine that you cannot realize a player with an open DataSource...and as createRealizedPlayer is a blocking call, it just blocks until the DataSource stops sending data (and then it realizes and can play the DS by opening it itself). In the case of a live stream, it probably never realizes.
    Replace your code with the following:
    MediaLocator ml = new MediaLocator("http://127.0.0.1/stream");
    try {
        mediaPlayer = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(ml);
    catch (NoPlayerException e) {
        System.err.println("Player could not be created : "+e);
    catch(CannotRealizeException e) {
        System.err.println("Player could not be realized: "+e);
    catch(IOException e) {
        System.err.println("Could not connect Player to data source: "+e);

  • 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?

  • 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...
    thanx

  • How to secure Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 (live stream connection)

    I have Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 (not Interactive) running on RHEL5.5 x86_64 Linux.
    All is working well, however how do I prevent unauthorized access to connecting to the live stream and streaming content?
    How can I setup the server to require a user and password to stream live media to the server?
    Any help would be great, I am new to this product and I have been reading some documentation but I have not found a clear cut answer on how to force a username and password to connect to the server to stream live content only.
    I am using the Adobe FMS Apache install, what files need changing?
    I have the following files:

    I want to lock down a person from connecting to the server on the public internet and starting a live stream?
    Can this be done with a user name and password?

    If you are concerned about anyone starting publishing to your stream then we have security update on this. Please upgrade to 3.5.4 and now you can use FMS Authentication Add-in (used with FMLE as publisher). If you are facing problems with publisher which are not FMLE, please enable SWF Verification so that only valid SWF's connect to your FMS.
    You can find 3.5.4 update here : http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html
    You can find FMS Authentication Add-in on FMLE Download page: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fmle3 (when you click on Agree - it will prompt for your Adobe ID - then when you reach Download page - you will get Optional Download of Authentication Add-in)

  • Live Streaming w/ RTMPE Only?

    I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this. I'm attempting to stream a live event using FMLE and FMS. The first thing that throws me off is that I cannot push the stream to the server using RTMPE, only RTMP[T]. I assume this is because the the encryption is handled by the server and not the encoder. However, for the sake of security I would like to disable RTMP connections from the flash player to the server. Yet it would seem that if I incorporate the server side scripting described here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405456.html (namely the changes to my main.asc file), that my server would reject an RTMP connection from FMLE? Is that correct? If so, where do I go from here? Can I broadcast a live stream using RTMPE only? Do I need a different encoder or something, or am I just missing a very simple point?

    You're correct that FMLE can't publish RTMPE.
    What you can do is, in your logic for inspecting the client protocol for the connection, make an exception for FMLE user-agents. Based on the example code in the doc you linked to, you could do something like:
    application.onConnect = function(clientObj) {
       if(clientObj.protocol == "rtmpe" || clientObj.protocol == "rtmpte" || client.agent.indexOf("FMLE") > -1 || client.agent.indexOf("FME") > -1){
         return true;
      return false

  • How to package multibitrate live stream as audio-only for Apple compliance

    Hi
    From AMS documentation, I can package vod content as audio-only by appending "audio-only" to url for instance:
    http://<ams server ip>/hls-vod/audio-only-aac/vod.m3u8
    Similarly I can package live content (single bitrate) as audio-only for instance:
    http://<ams server ip>/hls-live/audio-only-aac/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
    In my case, I have 3 bitrates being published for a live audio-video event. The variant playlist for this event is created by hls_http module by refering to Manifest.xml.
    I could not figure out a way to insert an audio-only stream to this variant playlist created by hls_http module for live stream.
    Please let me know if I am missing something because this seems to be a pretty obvious requirement for live streaming to IOS devices.
    Thanks,

  • HT4914 why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    why do some songs grayed out and only available when connected on wifi when trying to stream on iphone?

    I had this problem too - of grayed out music I could only play when in WIFI.  I noticed when looking in iTunes, these grayed song were not chosen by me to sync on to my iPhone. They were stored in iCloud.  I went to Settings > Music and then turned off "Show All Music" so only music that has been dowloaded to my iPhone will be shown. 
    I don't have iTunes Match, so you may have a different issue than what I had.

  • Can I disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?

    Hi,
    I just purchased a mobile router with a data limit 50MB/day for my old iPhone 4.
    This iPhone 4 only connects to WIFI network.
    I like photo stream and want to keep using it with my unlimited family WIFI network, but, the problem is when I connect it to my mobile route through WIFI, the photo stream won't stop working.   That cause my 50M/day plan runs out in a minute.
    So, is there a way to disable photo stream only on specific WIFI connection?
    I tried iPhone Configuration Utility and it seems not have a function like that.
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Katie.
    It is the purpose of photo stream to sync all photos to all devices, the only way to remove the photos from the computer without affecting other devices is to turn photo stream off.

  • Live Stream connection limit per server

    I Need to Broadcast 20,000 to 40,000 Live Streams.! (Bitrate : 128Kbps / Viewers Per Stream Apprx-10 Server : Adobe FMS Server Amazon EC2 Instance - Bandwidth Apprx 100mbps)
    My Question is
    1. How Many Concurrent connections Possible for one Adobe FMS Server? (Amazon EC2 Instance)
    2. is this possible to use RTMFP for this process? (20,000 Connections Via Amazon Adobe FMS Server EC2 Instance )
    3. if Possible Over RTMFP then How Many Developer Keys Need for this Operation. (or) Pricing Details for the Developer Key. (or) Any Separate Key[s] Available For Amazon EC2 Instance?
    Thanks
    Sarma

    1.  Looking at your stream specs - its like  128 X 10 ~ around 1 Mbps for one stream considering 10 clients. And considering bandwidth of 100 mbps for instance you can support around 1000 clients. But few things i want to know before we can conlude on figures - what is NIC capacity of the instance.
    2. Yes if you using FMS on AWS offering - you can use RTMFP
    3. You don't need developer keys if you are using FMS on AWS offering to use RTMFP
