Live Streaming Video
I am working on developing a capability for two client
programs to teleconference through a Flash Media Server.
I need to be able to support high quality video, 640x480 at
30 fps. I began by following the tutorial in "Beginner's guide to
streaming live video with Flash Media Server 3 by Tom Green. The
website is
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fashmediaserver/articles/beginner_live_fms3.html
I was able to use the Flash Media Encoder to save video to a
file and play it back in Flash. I ran into some trouble when I
attempted to stream live video following his example. I published
from the publish settings dialog. This resulted in the html and swf
files being created. I next opened the html file to attempt to view
the video stream. The Flash Media Encoder is running and streaming
video to the Flash Media Server. When I opened the html file I got
a message box that says Adobe Flash Security. It said "Adobe Flash
Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation." It said the swf
file is trying to communicate with localhost, an Internet-enabled
location. There is a settings button that is supposed to let you
allow the application to communicate with the Internet. When I
clicked on it the settings manager did not open as expected but a
dialog stating that an ActionScript error has occurred. It says
Security Error #2028.
What this ended up meaning was that I had to add the swf file
to the trusted list in the settings manager.
Because my browser was blocking popups I was unable to see
the settings manager to be able to address the
problem. I turned blocking off and was able to see the
settings manager dialog. In the settings manager dialog I was
able to add the swf as a trusted file. When I did this it
immediately worked.
There is a time lag in the client program though of about a
second and a half. I don't have any ideas yet on why this is. Maybe
this will go away when the encoder is removed. I need to be able to
have the client programs connect and publish directly without
having to run an encoder on each client site. Does anyone know if
this will fix the lag problem or if there is something else I could
do to fix it?
Hey freinds,
This can be done using RTSP protocol. Basically its streaming video from rstp server and/or http server. Any ideas, suggestions for that.
Give me some helpline guideline to work on it.
Looking ahead for your responses.

How to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?
Does Compressor4 have any features (or scripts that can be run post-compression) to create encrypted HTTP Live Streaming Videos?
It works great for creating UNencrypted ones, but I need to make some encrypted ones also.I found it out: You have to use "New Batch From Template" and choose “HTTP Live Streaming". Then you have to create a new folder where the output goes to in the "Information" window. There is also a checkbox which instructs Compressor to create a "readme.html".
Then a folder for every quality setting is created, where all the .ts files go to and the playlist files as well. Works like a charm, as soon as you found out how to do it. -
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. -
Creating a custom player for live streaming video
I have live streaming video set up where I use the Flash Media Encoder to send the live stream to a Flash Media Server. Then, the Flash Media server packages this stream, and sends it to whatever websites requests it via the url. I know how to create a Flash move or even asc file, and then have Flash generate the html for that saved movie so that I can embed it in a web page and play it. But in the case of live streaming video, there is no pre made asc file or movie to reference. So I need some help about what I need to do to play live streaming video in a flash player embedded in a webpage, that will also have some custom action script for controlling playback and other things.
About a half-hour after making the changes I outlined above, and long after I closed the active Safari window, noticed that my MBP was uncharacteristically hot. Extremely hot!
Opened Activity Monitor and saw that Flash Player was still running (?) and using a tremendous amount of system resources. I then quit Safari altogether. Within moments, the heat began to subside.
May be something you want to keep an eye on... -
Cannot watch live streaming video
I am trying to use Quick Time to watch live streaming video. However, when I click on the link, I get the following sequence:
"Negotiating"
"Waiting for media"...with a countdown
"Switching transports"...this goes on for a long time
"Disconnected"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quick Time and the problem persists. Any suggestions for this techno-laggard? Thanks!Here is the link: http://dev.centralsynagogue.org/index.php/worship/multimedia/streaming/
However, the streaming only happens at 6 p.m. on Friday evenings and 10:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings.
Some additional information:
Although I initially get a "Connecting" message (at the appointed hour), it then changes to "Switching Transport" and then to "Disconnected." Alternately, if I try to copy the URL from the website into the Quick Time "Open URL" option on the File menu, I get an error message that says, Error 47, Invalid URL.
Very frustrating...any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! -
Baby Monitor - view live streaming video on iPhone
I am in search of a webcam (to use as a baby monitor) that I can use with my iPhone to view live streaming video from...
Can someone please recommend a webcam (ideally with a low-light setting, because babies like to sleep in the dark;) and a capable app from the app store that would help me achieve this?
Thanks!That is going to be a very custom app. I really doubt it will be in the app store. I understand the idea. I have a monitor myself that has video. I would have to hook up that video monitor to an input device on a computer networked in the home. For me this would entail video monitor output to a camcorder to firewire to imac. could get quite complicated. Even doing this much could encounter problems like each interface having to be set up correctly. once that is done, you might be able to use the bonjour networking to get from iphone to imac. all of this is hypothetical though. interesting scenario though

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. -

Multiple Live Streaming Video in flash?
Hello Everyone,
I have this project in mind which I want to create a video
montage of different live streaming videos from a few different
users with their webcam in different locations. There will be the
website which the participants will be able to view the live video
montage in real time. However, I am unsure of where to start with
(live video & server). Therefore I will be really thrilled if
someone knows an example similar to this or someone who can offer
me a lead in this topic!!
I have knowledge in flash and abit of actionscripting.
Much THANKS!!
jenThe 2-way video chat module example in the sample chapter
from "Learning Flash Media Server 3" should give you some ideas.
Obviously, you only want the 1-way (user to server) part of
that, as you'll be displaying the video montage I guess in a web
page as a set of regular flash streams.
Main page

Sample chapter (PDF) :
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/ora_learning_fms3/learning_fms3_ch05 .pdf
It looks to be an O'Reilly book, so you may be able to get
the whole thing online, or get it delivered from O'Reilly or Amazon
in a few days. -
Does iMovie allow me to play and simultaneously record live streaming video?
I did not make myself clear. I want to capture the live streaming video from a local television station web feed. It seems iMovie does not do that or I don't know how to make it record. What application allows me to record the streaming feed? Thanks again.

Sound works at 2 locations for a live-streaming video but not on the third.
I am trying to watch live streaming video from a trial. Three television stations offer this video. I am able to see two of the stations, but there is no sound on the third. Since I am not always available to watch, I would like to watch the replays in the evening. These are only offered by one station--of course the one where I can't get the sound. I am able to watch the news videos from this station but not the trial ones. Is this a problem with the station or is it mine? I should add that I have tried in several browsers with the same result.
Sound and video work fine on everything else.That's odd. It sounds like a problem with the stream but I tried that link out and the sound worked fine for both the commercial and the trial. I did notice that the trial's volume was low for the first 5 - 10 seconds, but I could clearly hear the proceedings once they started.
What browser / OS / version of Flash Player are you using?

I look after a little old ladies PC in Australia from Canada. She used to watch live video from a webcam in Canada looking at the snow & ice but now with a new HP PC she can't view the live feed... or to be more precise she can view it but the site won't load properly and displays a still image.
If the browser is refreshed the image updates but is a still image.
We can see the time-stamp so we know there is a snapshot of the video being taken but it won't update with the live feed.
I did read other posts about similar issues but can't seem to find an answer.
I have updated her Windows media player, uninstalled then re-installed both Flash & Shockwave to the latest versions but still the video won't play properly.
She can watch other live streaming videos but there just seems to be an issue with this one in particular.
I have tried the same webcam feed from other PCs in Canada and the UK with no issues.
She has an HP610-1010a Touchsmart with ATI Radeo HD5570 graphic card installed.
Can anyone suggest something else I may be overlooking...?
Thanks
Malcolm
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
I tested on 5 machines: 1 HP laptop, 2 Dell laptops, 1 Apple and 1 Surface. I think we NEED NBN, my connection speed is not very fast but still reasonable but the machines took ages to just go to the first one. The second one was a bit faster but ONLY refresh frame when hit F5.
Regards.

Live Streaming Video offerings on iTunes U?
We broadcast live the Montana State Legislature via an QTS server from QTBroadcasters on Mac Mini computers. Does iTunes U support RTSP streaming from QT Broadcaster?
The work-around we are currently using is linking to a web page that has a "watch now" button pointing to a REF.mov. It works but seeking a more elegant way to get people to watch live streaming video.The more serious problem is that TSN is carrying tonight's Canucks game... and they seem to be stuck in 1995 and are not streaming the game. Ugh!

Live Streaming Video Playback on CBC - Flash Jitter Bug
Not sure how many of you are trying to watch the playoffs on CBC on your playbook, but I have a problem with jitter during playback, but only with live streaming video. This is not a connection issue. Apparently it's a b-frame issue where the frames are played out of order, and an adobe flash bug. It appears exactly the same as this example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh_8EPfbpZ
Very hard to watch, and extremely frustrating. Does everyone experience this with the CBC site? Is this a playbook issue, or just something with my unit? Any suggestions for resolution?
