Live streaming to Ustream or other streaming sites or programs w/MacBook

I have a brand new MacBook. USB only no firewire. I need to be able to stream LIVE video to Ustream or programs like it. I have gone back and forth about various adapters (usb to component/svideo) that capture video. Some only work within the software. Ustream, quicktime, imovie still cant see my camera (formerlly used thru firewire)
Does anyone have a solution OR knowledge of a working adapter that all video programs can see in the MacBook. I have considered purchasing a USB camera or selling the macbook and getting a MacBook Pro a LAST resort.

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

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

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.

Live Streaming audio not working

I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9040n with Vista that is not giving me AUDIO on a LIVE STREAMING site where I am taking Continuing Education webcast. I am using Mozilla Firefox and did put in the newest plugin. I can hear u-tube audio (those video load very slowly and stop and start). I have Hughes Net satellite broadband connection. I tried disabling my McAfee while doing the program but that did not help.

10.2 screws up my desktop radio live streaming icons

Installed 10.2 this morning.
Previously I had radio live streaming .pls icons on my desktop which would immediately open the live streaming feed feed for the stations. After I installed 10.2 my desktop icons for the radio stations were converted to .m3u and open in Excel, but don't stream.
I have tried dragging the stations from my music playlist to the desktop (as I originally did) but that doesn't work. Tried altering the desktop icons back to a .pls file but that doesn't work. Tried having the icons on the desktop open in iTunes by default but that takes me to an http site and doesn't work.
Double clicking on the radio feeds in iTunes>Music opens the radio feed perfectly fine. How do I get that function to open a live stream feed from my desktop?
What I want to do is create an alias icon on my desktop which will open a live streaming site in my Music folder in iTunes.
Any ideas?

This still doesn't solve the problem of iTunes not opening PLS and M3U files downloaded by Safari.
This started happening on one of my machines after installing the update(s), but I upgraded another machine and it behaves properly. Can't figure out what happened, other than on the first machine having the problems, I didn't upgrade everything at the same time.
Tried reinstalling iTunes again, and also Safari again, still doesn't work.
Created a new user on the same machine, and it wants to open Boxee whenever a .pls is accessed. Removed Boxee, it wants to launch VLC. Removed VLC, then it launches TextEdit.
Too bad that "Use iTunes for Internet Playback" button is gone.

Found out last night that i couldnt watch a live stream confetence because i couldnt download the flash player. why does apple not allow to do that and is there an alternative way other than flash player?

found out i couldnt watch a live stream coference because apple wont allow to download adobie flash player. why is this and is there a way around it to be able to catch more of live stream in future.?

In the future, there won't be any Flash. Adobe, who makes it, has cancelled future versions for mobile devices like the iPad:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/
You should check if there is another way to get the live stream. For example, I sometimes watch online classes on a site that uses Flash for the video. But they also provide a non-Flash video stream that can be watched in an iPhone or iPad web browser, and an iOS app that you can also use to watch the stream.

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.

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.

HTTP Live streaming test in Flash Player, HTML5 player, iphone, android and other smart phones.

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how can I play http live streaming from FMLE 3.2 to Flash player, iphone, ipdad, HTML5 player, Android and other devices?
I have tried my best to play live streaming usine FMLE 3.2 with help of "http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html" but not able to play video using HTTP.
When I tried to play url- "http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" even in in Strobe Media Player it was showing "Buffering" that's it. But I can play same RTMP URL in Flash AS3 using the netstream very fine.
Now I want to test the livepkgr content via HTTP to Flash Player, HTML5 Player (on Web browser and smartphones), iphone and other devices.
Thanks
Best regards,
Sunil Kumar

Hi Sunil,
It's difficult to debug an issue when you don't have access to the machine and you can't see what's happening, so I request you to please have a little patience.
For playback just check the following steps and make sure if you have followed them :
1) Delete the streams folder and any .stream file in the livepkgr
2) Restart FMS
3) Make sure you have a crossdomain.xml under root_install/webroot
4) Publish a stream from FMLE as 'livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent'
5) Use this player to playback the stream : http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/StrobeMediaPlayback.html?src=http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
If there is no playback, here are some checks you can do :
1) Request for the http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m in your browser. You should receive an xml that looks something like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
     <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
          <id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id>
                  <mimeType />
          <streamType>live</streamType>
          <duration>0</duration>
          <bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap7158" />
          <media streamId="livestream" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream" bootstrapInfoId="bootstrap7158">
                      <metadata>AgAKb25NZXRhRGF0YQgAAAAAAAhkdXJhdGlvbgBAJUUeuFHrhQAFd2lkdGgAQHQAAAAAAA=</m etadata>
            </media>
</manifest>
2) Check the access log under Apache to see if the .f4m, .bootstrap and Frag files have been requested and delivered. If a particular entry has a status code of 200 then the file has been served by FMS. You can confirm the same on the client side using a software like fiddler.
Coming to the player issue, a playback of *f4v via the vod directive is a progressive download, whereas playback of an *f4m file via hds-vod is HTTP streaming.
I have personally used Spark VideoPlayer and hence suggested the same.
You need to add a component like :
<s:VideoPlayer width="100%" height="30%" chromeColor="#CCCCCC" color="#000000"
                 fontSize="12"
                 source="http://<your-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m"
                    symbolColor="#000000"/>
Let me know if any of these suggestions help.
Thanks,

How to store Live stream on the other Server

Hello Everyone,
This is very important for me to store all live streams in the archive server at F4V sormat.
to do that I record live stream in the F4V:
mystreams.publish('mp4:' + netstream.name + 'f4v');
mystream.recod();
This cods is work currently in the rootinstall directory's but I wan to store on the archive directory in other linux server.
1- I share the archive folder in the archive server.
2- Create folder on the AMS linux server in the applications/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/archive
3- mount archive folder to the archive folder in other server:
mount -t cifs -o administrator=root,password=myams //192.168.1.100/Archive /opt/adobe/ams/applications/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/Archive
So Archive Server is: 192.168.1.100/Archive.
Now I have problem to store live streams in the Archive server...!!!
When I start publish live events on the Flash Media Server, AMS is make video file with f4v format in the Archive server (ams have access to write in other server) But this file has 0kb. there is no capacity.
Please advise me to solve this problem.
Many Thanks.

This seems like a good guide:

Can you live stream video to computer using Sony Action Cam X1000V 4K?

I'm a computer programmer and I need high quality camera and Sony Action Cam X1000V suits me the best. I would like to know can I stream live video to my computer using hdmi/usb/wifi/anything from Sony Action Cam X1000V?

Hi PatrikWWDC,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
Yes, you can do live streaming using the FDRX1000V action cam. You can use UStream to stream your videos live online. Here is a guide on how to prepare the camera for Live Streaming.
For further assistance with your concern, we recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

How do I use multiple cameras to live stream through FME?

I am looking to live stream pool tournaments from multiple angles but don't know what software or hardware I might need. Anybody have any good how to advice or links they might share? I stream through Ustream.tv if that makes a difference. Should I look for something different? Thanks

I am working on getting just the counter working by using
the program posted previously, and I am running into issues. Periodically I get
the error:
Error -200141
occurred at DAQmx Read (Counter DBL 1Chan 1Samp).vi
Possible reason(s):
Data was overwritten
before it could be read by the system.
If Data Transfer
Mechanism is Interrupts, try using DMA. Otherwise, divide the input signal
before taking the measurement.
It seems to work better if I use cascaded counters, but I need timer 0 for
analog channels when I run this code along with the program for the other
measurements.
I have tried averaging, and selecting different values for the millisecond
timer, and these did not seem to have an effect.
I tried different DAQms configurations and "Counter DBL 1Samp" seemed
to work the best.
The program will work for a while and then it will give me the above error
message.
If I use counter 0 as a cascaded counter input, the program runs fine. If I run
this with other analog channels, it errors out because the analog channels use
counter 0.
If I use counter 1 as a cascaded counter input, it seems to work better than a
single channel, but it will still error out with the above error.
If I use only counter 1, I get the error above even faster.
Also, none of the
configurations give measurements outside the While Loop.
The only place I can add a speed dial for the front panel is within the While
Loop.
Is there someway to get the signal to continuously send out of the while loop?
I thought if I could get the signal out of the while loop, I could condition it
anyway I wanted without the program erroring out.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

How to play live streaming in windows phone 8.1 silverlight app?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8.1 silverlight app. In my I want to show live streaming youtube channel , I think it is not possible,

Anybody help me how to play live tv or live streaming in my app,
Thanks..

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

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.
