Live Stream Stuttering (Bet365 etc)

Hi,
I've noticed when I watch certain live streams they stutter badly and are unwatchable as a result. It happens on both my PC and laptop so it's not an issue with flash player etc. I also tried the same streams at a friend's who is with Sky and the streams play fine, he has a considerably lower connection speed too. I have reset the Openreach modem/homehub but this hasn't resolved the issue.
I'm not sure if anyone here has a Bet365 account but when I attempt to watch live streams via the following link the streams stutter badly:
Link removed by mod
I have contacted Bet365 and they were unable to resolve the issue through their troubleshooting and have asked me to contact my ISP but everything seems fine apart from these streams.
Thanks

Outdated Video Drivers, insufficient VRAM, or a bad connection can cause this.
1. Reset your modem
2. Update your video drivers if need be.
3. Update your Video card

When I play videos (you tube, live streaming, etc, firefox freezes

Hi
When I play video links or watch something with live streaming, firefox just freezes. I cannot do anything except go to task manager and try end the task there.

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Doubt regarding HTTP Live Streaming for windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a Windows phone 8.1 silverlight app.
I want to add live streaming youtube channel , thats why I used https://phonesm.codeplex.com/ this link as a reference , and I am able to play the links given in the samples, but I am unable to play my link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2GF-QQS6n0
I am getting 3108 unable to play media error with my link,
My question Is there any need of streaming server ?
If yes can anyone help how to create the streaming server.
Thanks....

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.

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.

Using http live streaming to stream data from a Webcam

JavaFX 2.2 includes support for http live streaming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming
How could one create a http live stream from a Webcam and thereby enable a JavaFX application to view and hear the Webcam video in realtime?

Bom Dia Saille,
Eu acredito que o que você tenha hoje seja isso aqui (Desenho bem simplificado):
Hoje o que você tem é o Aplicativo do Medidor + USB Driver controlando o seu medidor. Basicamente, sua aplciação está dividida em três camadas:
Aplicação - Onde estão as funcionalidades principais do programa (interface com o usuário, apresentação de dados, geração de arquivos, etc.)
VISA - Uma arquitetura de Software para controle de instrumentos. Basicamente, ele se comunica com o Driver USB para poder enviar e receber pacotes de dados através do barramento USB.
Device Driver - Intruções de SW de baixo nível para controlar um periférico através de um barramento.
No desenho, eu aponto duas camadas onde você pode tentar atuar para automatizar suas medições:
Aplicação - Você pode usar o VI Server para controlar o Aplicativo do Medidor (Se este aplicativo tiver sido desenvolvido em LabVIEW, o que eu suponho ser verdade). No entanto é necessário saber se o desenvolvedor do produto permitiu isso (Veja Using VI Server to Pass Data Between a VI and a LabVIEW Executable). Outra alternativa é conversar com o fabricante para ver se ele desenvolveu alguma API (Application Programming Interface) para que você consiga controlar o instrumento diretamente.
VISA - O LabVIEW Fornece uma API chamada NI-VISA para poder enviar e receber informações através de diversos barramentos (Veja Serial Instrument Control Tutorial)
É possível acessar o Driver diretamente também, mas eu não recomendo. O resultado não compensa o esfroço!
Espero ter esclarecido suas dúvidas e espero que você tenha sucesso na sua aplicação!!
Atenciosamente.

How to find metrics for live streams?

Hi there,
We have installed FMS and have used it for a live streaming video event. The event lasted an hour and FMS worked great.
How can I get statistics on that live stream? I'd like to know how many people saw the video, and how many people were watching at one time.
Can you please tell me where to find this?
Thanks

One way to check this is to use the FMS logs. The access logs in <FMS install>/logs folder contains all such information regarding events with time. With default logger configuration it records only certain events like connect, disconnect, etc. and fields related to them. To enable more logging make changes to the following tags in conf/Logger.xml
tag 1. Modify <Events> value under <access>. The value of this tag controls which events will be logged in access.00.log. Select the ones which you need. The information of all events have been provided.
tag2: <Fields> under <access> Similarly you can configure what fields you want to be logged for each event.
I understand this is not very straight forward as this log may get very large. So you may also consider using file parsers which may be available and use them to parse this file.
Another way is to use admin API commands. You can check the list of admin APIs listed in FMS documentation. These APIs may give you some information too and you can use the most suitable ones for your purpose.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Start/stop/restart live stream - do stream files need to be removed first?

When streaming a live event if something happens and we need to stop our encoder and then restart it again.
Do we need to delete the stream files created in the 'application/event/' directory and also delete the f4f stream,bootstrap, etc... files too?
If we don't delete the stream files before restarting the live stream. It will only play about 10 seconds of the stream then just hang buffering.
What is causing this?
My application log shows no access when I restarted the stream.

I have a similar issue like Mr Dave explained. If need to stop, start, stop and restart again, the encoder is sending, but in player not shows nothing. Then we need to stop and disconnect in encoder, and remove the stream file in /event and the cache files in livestream folder for after then restart the streaming. Only after this action, the streaming works fine and the streaming shows again in player.
Have other way to solve this issue without need all that actions? Note that I use the Adobe FME to live streaming and encoding in HDS http streaming
I hope for a help
Thanks

Problem with live streaming video after system updates

Dear all,
I hope you can assist me on this.
Yesterday, I downloaded the following automatic updates: iLife Support 9.0.4, Remote Desktop Client update 3.4, Mac OS X Update Combined 10.6.7, Airport Utility 5.5.2.
After that, I could NO MORE watch live streaming channels. To be precise, l can properly hear the sound, but not see the video.
I wish to underline the fact that before installing the automatic updates listed above, I had a clear sound and video of all live streaming sites.
I downloaded the latest versions of JAVA and Flash, but unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.
Therefore, I am quite sure the live streaming disfunction has to do with the system automatic updates. Is there any way to uninstall yesterday's updates without compromising the various softwares and OS performance?
What else could be if not related to the system updates?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Stan,
I hadn't heard of gspot before. I downloaded it and it looks like a nice, handy tool. Thanks.
After running it, I didn't see anything that caught my eye as unusual (corrupt file, unknown codec, etc.) I have posted a screenshot at the following URL if you care to look.
www.cbvideo.com/gspot/gspot-out.jpg
Now, let me add to the mystery. I was just able to burn it without incident with Encore 1.5 and the same chapter mark locations. There are only two things I can think of that would be possible causes. 1) something quirky about CS3, even though I've not had any prior problems in two years with it for my business OR 2) the file had become corrupted when moving from the capture computer (the older computer with 1.5) to the newer computer (with CS3). As the file seems to be okay on the 2nd computer (plays fine in WMP and imports into both Premiere and Encore), I'm leaning toward #1.
I have been able to successfully work around the problem to finish this job for the client, but I'd still like to know what's going on for future reference. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

Videographer Wants To Live Stream - Lost At Amazon

I am a freelance videographer and I am researching methods of live video streaming. I want to offer my clients, some of whom are entertainers and event promoters, the ability to stream events, and on-demand recordings, and also to control access to them. In other words, I need the flexibility to stream on my own Livestream platform or some other platform and have it be protected. The basic Livestream platform only supports fully public streams and recordings.
I have a computer fully equipped to perform live streaming, but I have not set up the services associated with it (except for the Basic Livestream platform)
I have an Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder installed as part of the Livestream Studio desktop application for multi-camera productions. I also have a Teradek Vidiu - a camera-top unit that allows me to stream via WIFI or hard-wired internet on remote shoots without a computer. Finally, I also have a subscription to Adobe Creative Suites 2014.
Two days ago, I streamed an event live for the first time using Livestream, and it was a success! However, it was mainly an experiment to test my equipment and the quality of the video stream. And because the stream was public, there was no way to charge the viewers for watching. Livestream does offer the services that I think I need to control access to my video streams - password protection, viewer login, pay-per-view, etc., but they charge a very high Enterprise level fee that is inaccessible to a lone operator like myself. So I am looking for alternatives.
I also came across something called WOWZA, to which I have a trial account, but I know nothing about how to use.
The Adobe Live Flash website led me to Amazon, and here I am. I already had an Amazon.com account, so it was easy to create an AWS account. But I have no idea what I am doing here. I see all sorts of Amazon web and cloud services, but I seem to have lost any links or references to live media streaming, which I originally set out to do.
Replies: 0 | Pages: 1

I may as well update my own thread because nobody out there seems to see it. I have upgraded my Livestream account to the Premiere level of their platform, which gives me some nice capabilities. But, because everything is done in house at Livestream, I am not really learning the nuts and bolts of how anything works.
I know nothing about Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder, which happened to be installed along as part of the Livestream Studio application. I am trying to understand it apart from LS, and how it might integrate with some of the other CDNs. I'm not learning much here on this forum about Adobe's own application. I though this might be the place to go for answers

Availability of HTML5 Live streaming tools on Snow Leopard

I'm looking to stream video as part of my class offerings at the University that I teach at. The Tech Services at our university currently only provides a flash based streaming service, but a large number of my students have iPhones/iPads/etc. I want to add an HTTP5 Live Streaming option.
According to the article at:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conce ptual/StreamingMediaGuide/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming/UsingHTTPLiveStreaming.html#//a pple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008332-CH102-SW1
the tool filestreamsegmenter is supposed to available in the default install of Snow Leopard. I bought the retail box upgrade of snow leopard (my Macbook Pro came with Leopard/10.5). I don't seem to have the file. I also checked the linkes on connect.apple.com mentioned in the article, but they don't seem to be available there. Do I have to buy an iPhone developer membership just to get the tools in order to add HTML5 live streaming to my class website? I hope not..
Tom

I'm having same problem. The tool is neither in the local dir, not in downloads.

Live Streaming video and Flex2(3?) + Flash Media Server?

I've seen alot of topic on how to create video sites for
clips, etc. with Flex and Flash Media Server, but how about live
streaming video, like a concert or a seminar. I can't find any
information on this at all, could anyone point me in the right
direction?

What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
// get camera and mic
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
default mic
// if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
// create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
before
// so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
ns.attachCamera(cam);
ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
to live+rec
// connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
might need to
cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
uses) in order for this to work.
Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
help.

Can storing a live stream using actionscript fail by the cache filling up with overhead?

Hi,
Lately we have been seeing a problem with the archives of live streams we create using FMS. We use FMS for live streaming and concurrently store the stream in a file using ActionScript. We use the following code to record:
var s2 = Stream.get('mp4:' + mp4name);
application.publishedStreamMP4= s2;
application.publishedStreamMP4.record();
application.publishedStreamMP4.play(application.publishedStream.name,-1,-1);
(some lines have been removed that are used for logging, etc).
Sometimes some of these functions fail and return false. In these cases FMS's core log shows that the cache is full:
2013-06-11 11:45:55        13863   (w)2611372      The FLV segment cache is full. -
In investigating this issue I have not yet been able to recreate this exact situation. By lowering the cache to 1MB I have however been able to create a situation where storing a stream can stop because the cache is full. The situation occurs as follows:
* The server is restarted, the cache is empty.
* A live stream is started, which is also recorded.
* Via the Administration API the cache values <bytes> and <bytes_inuse> show to be exactly the same as the <overhead> of the object that relates to the file being saved. The <bytes> and <bytes_inuse> values of the object are 0.
* This continues in the same way untill the cache is full.
* When the limit of the cache is reached the message
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (w)2611372      The FLV segment cache is full. -
is shown in the core log and storing of the file stops. The instance log also show status changes:
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (s)2641173      MP4 recording status for livestream.mp4: Code: NetStream.Record.NoAccess Level: status Details:         -
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (s)2641173      MP4 recording status for livestream.mp4: Code: NetStream.Record.Stop Level: status Details:     -
In the filesystem I can confirm that the last change of the file is on this moment (in this case 12:07). The live stream continues without problems.
I have reproduced this several times. Though I can understand that caches can fill up and this can cause trouble I feel like this situation is a bug in FMS. The cache fills up with overhead, which is apparently reserved untill writing the file ends.
I hope someone here can help out. Has anyone seen a situation like this and is there any remedy for it? Or even a workaround where this overhead in the cache can be released so the cache does not fill up?
We use FMS version 4.5.1.

You can use an XML socket, but the FMS application will need to initiate the connection, as FMS has no support for listening for anything other than RTMP and HTTP requests.
Stream switching can happen on the FMS side. In your FMS application, you'll create a server side stream, and use the Stream.play method for playing other sources (live streams or recorded flv/h.264 files) over that stream. Your subscribers will connect to the server side stream
See the FMS docs for the Stream class and the XMLSocket class.

Live streaming audio on flash site

Hello,
I am new to Flash and I am working on a web page using flash, the page itself is going to be pretty basic, but the situation I am in is this, we would like to but a live streaming audio feed on the site and I am having trouble figuring out how to add that. The server it is from is a Broadwave server, and it does stream in MP3. I would like the audio stream to start automatically when the web page is open. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

You could build your own player but if you are new to Flash, you might want to just embed or place on the Web page a prebuilt player. For example:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
or
http://flowplayer.org/
or
http://ffmp3.sourceforge.net/
each player will have it's own config setup for autoplay etc.
Best wishes,

Live streaming of FLV content

We have an embedded system (embedded video server), running an RTOS. There are welldefined ways for streaming stored FLV content. There are ways for streaming live FLV content using Adobe Flash Media Server. However, in our case we would like to implement streaming ourselves on our embedded video server, ideally using UDP transport (instead of HTTP or RTMP) So what are the options available ?
Thanks,

You may be able to figure out the streams used from the FMS server that is installed with the Connect Application Server, if you are on premise. But for the hosted environment, I'm not aware of a method of exposing that information. Even if you do expose it, it would be the stream URLs for the individual objects in the room (live video, screen sharing, etc.). You may wan to look at using an AMS server or Influxis Collaboration Services (previously Live Cycle Collaboration Services), http://ics.influxis.com/, to have a the stream delivered to a custom player.

AIR SDK 16 (and 15): live stream video pauses when from non-iOS to iOS

Using either sdk 15 or 16, when live streaming video through media server, if I go from iOS to iOS devices, no issue. If I go from non-iOS device to iOS device, the non-iOS device receives the video and audio fine from the iOS device, but on the iOS device the video it receives freezes (almost from the start, after a couple of frames, then long, long pause of freeze - minutes long - then a few more frames, then freezing, etc.) - the audio is fine, it appears to be just the video. I have tested this with android to android (fine), android to desktop (fine), iOS to iOS (fine), android to iOS (freezing video only on iOS side), iOS to desktop (freezing only on iOS side).

VideoTexture is a HUGE improvement for video on Windows and iOS. I am testing on Windows 8 and iPhone 6, but VideoTexture is still in beta and will take a few more months to get the kinks worked out. It is working for me on iOS sometimes, and whenever it works the pixels have a transparency applied to them. I have logged that pixel transparency bug here:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3936111
Also you will notice that Adobe has mentioned the following in the known issues section:
[Air Desktop] [Video Texture] Video is not playing if texture is used as ConcreteTexture of starling.(3949908)
(Release Notes | Flash Player® 17 AIR® 17)
On iOS the VideoTexture seems to work for MP4s loaded directly from the file system, but RTMP is not ready yet. But when it is ready, I suggest that you adopt it immediately since VideoTexture is where Adobe is focusing it's video efforts.
