NetStream.play(streamName, -1); plays recorded stream.

NetStream.play(streamName, -1);
This seems to be working wrong. For example, if I have recorded an flv on server using FMS and FMLE with only audio with name "myaudio" and then after if I try to play a live stream using NetStream.play("myaudio", -1) then it plays the recorded stream. I believe that documentation says that it should start a live stream instead of playing recorded stream as the second argument is -1. Is this a bug in NetStream.play method?

i do belive -1 says start playing the recorded video from the being saying some like NetStream.play(streamName,"live"); makes it live. look what i think up though I could be wrong I rarely use -1

Playing recorded stream

Hi

Whats the problem?

Can you please test the recorded stream using flvcheck.. Please also check core.log files to see it they report any errors..

Adobe Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist. Source can't be found

NOTE: This thread was started in the flash pro forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/898879?tstart=0 . However, because of adninjastrators recommandation, I open the thread here:
Hello there,
I have started a stream from Flash media encoder to flash media server. According to my encoder, it should be located at: "rtmp://localhost/live" and is called livestream.
In the Flash software I try and set the source of FLVPlayback component to "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream", and I get this error: "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound : Adobe Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist.

Too, when I try and open the html with the stream in a browser, nothing appears.
What should I check?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
Server, encoder and player are all on the same computer.
Admin console confirms the existence of "livestream" of type "Live" and a "NetStream" called "ABAF". No idea what the latter is.
Also, thought I'd mention that I have to start the servers from the Control Panel -> administrative tools -> services. If I try and start the server from the start menu, they dont start.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,

NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW when streaming server side playlist

Hi
I am streaming pre recorded audio files (mp4) to an AIR client. I have tried two different solutions,
streaming the file directly with the NetStream.play("mp4:xxxxx.m4a") and creating a server side playlist, adding the
same sound clip and then streaming the playlist. The problem is, when streaming the playlist i get a few NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW, this does not happen when streaming the file direct. Both solutions uses bufferTime=1.0
I would like to use a server side playlist to implement a simple key solution so that the client dont know the full path to
the file, but instead sends a key to a custom server side function that looks up the file path and creates a stream for the client.
TIA

Subscribing via playlist and playing file directly are two different things , as first one is live mode of play while other is playing recorded file - so the way streams are delivered are also quite different. Can you try setting higher buffer and see if that helps or if you don't want to set higher buffer, see if disabling AggregateMessages (you will find the tag in Application.xml under Live/Queue) helps

Newbie: Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist.

So just to clarify, the server is installed on the same machine that you are using to do the encoding, correct?
And you are using Flash Media Live Encoder to do the encoding?
I don't have Flash CS5 for I'm not sure what is in there to do the encoding.. but more on FMLE here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/
There are two step used to get the encoding going with FMLE...
1. after setting all the config settings, click the "Connect" button. Then open the encoding log and you will be able to see if connection was made to the server or not. Can you successfully connect to the server? if not, what is the error message?
2. click the "Start" button and in the encoding log, you will see that the audio and video encoding has started. What does the encoding log say?

NetStream.Play.Stop and Complete fired early on RTMPE streams

Hi there
I am experiencing an issue with playback on RTMPE streams. after investigation it seems that the FMS server is firing the NetStream.Play.Complete message at random points, indicating that a stream has ended. This is happening and random points during the stream, not even close to the end.
The order of Status messages is as follows:
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:15:17 PM :: NetStream.Play.Start : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:40 PM :: NetStream.Play.Stop : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:40 PM :: NetStream.Buffer.Flush : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:58 PM :: NetStream.Buffer.Empty : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:58 PM :: onPlayStatus : NetStream.Play.Complete
As you can see roughly 17mins into playback...although the stream is 1 hour 24mins long
I have tested this numerous times, and each time it is at a different point in the stream.
Intermittently the NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW warning is being fired prior to NetStream.Play.Stop.
I am using a player built on OSMF 1.5.
Just need to know why these messages would be fired and how to handle them
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the information. Did you check with flvcheck tool to see if the file is a valid FMS file ? If not, can you do that please ?

How to know the status of stream played using NetStream.Play method ?

I am playing stream data published by third party server
similar to FCS by creating NetStream object and calling Play method
on it. Now the problem is, sometimes I am not able to view the
published stream by playing it using Play method. Also it does not
call OnStatus method of NetSteam. How can I know the status(or
result) of Play method ?
Note: NetConnection gets created successfully. I get status
of NetStream.Play.Start / Stop when I put local flv as a first
parameter to Play method

Stream.play(live_from_FMLE, -1, 4500, true) got no NetStream.Play.Start

Hi,
I am stuck on one random issue that I really need your help.
I got a bunch of live stream from FMLE, say: "FMLE_channel1", "FMLE_channel2", "FMLE_channel3". And then on the server side, I created several corresponding republished stream called "channel1", "channel2", "channel3".
On periodical basis, we call Stream.get("channel1").play("FMLE_channel1", -1, 10, true) every 10 seconds. Similar things were done on the second channel & third channel.
Soon after the above Stream.get("channel1").play() call, I should get the following events in sequence:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Success
info :NetStream.Publish.Start
info :NetStream.Play.Reset
info :NetStream.Play.Start
In the above case all are happy. Clients can view channel1, channel2, channel3 well.
But then after a while, one of the three channels, in most case it would be channel1, will not be viewable. With the server trace info, I found that after the Stream.get("channel1").play() call, only the following two events exists:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Success
info :NetStream.Publish.Start
i.e. I was missing the play.reset and play.start event.
I further checked and confirmed that the FMLE was publishing all three channels fine to the server. I was able to view the "FMLE_channel1" from flash clients, but not the republished "channel1".
Can anyone help to solve the problem please? the version is FMS 3.5.0. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your effort in helping.
1. How do I check the said logs?
2. I will upgrade to 3.5.4 and have a try. Unfortunately I am out of town now and could not do it in the new few days.
3. When you asked about repeatedly calling of Stream.get(), are you implying some kind of memory leaks? Or do you have other implications in your mind? We are handling an array of broadcasting channels. Of course, we could've saved the handles in an array, but we did it the way as it is now for the sake of simplicity.
4. Another clue/observation: say for a F4V clip of 44 seconds (e.g. name it as example.f4v). If I call Stream.get("channel1").play("mp4:sample.f4v", -1, 45, true) at one point, and after 45 seconds, if I do another call of Stream.get("channel1").play("mp4:sample.f4v", -1, 45, true), "channel1" will show no video after the second call. Please note in this example, the video length is actually 44 seconds, but I treat it as if it is 45 seconds.
Your continued help will be highly appreciated!

Local video file (.mp4) file not play in MAC OS using netstream (NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound)

I have developed adobe air application using adobe flash builder 4.6 for Windows and Mac OS. Application allow user to download movie (.mp4) file in his system at specific location for play without live streaming. File downloading correctly in both OS and also file playing from download location in Window application correctly. but when start playing file Mac OS application not start playing.
When start playing in mac OS, NetStatusEvent.Net_Status event return "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" event info code. I have found one solution for mac OS is use colon notation instead of slash notation. I have tried it but it also not working.
Code:
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.Net_Status, connectionHandler);
_nc.connect(null);
private function connectionHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
trace("Connection to server: " + event.info.code);
/// Get "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" code in mac OS.
slash notation path: /Users/mayur/Downloads/myvideo.mp4
Colon notation path: I have tried following colon notation path
1) :Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
2) Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4
3) Macintosh HD:Users:mayur:Downloads:myvideo.mp4 (Macintosh HD - Drive name)
Please help me to solve this issue.

Finally I found a solution...
The problem is that AIR on Android stores the application data in the protected directory /data/... which is not accessible by StageWebView (or any browser app).
So you have to copy the video file you want to play to a temporary pubic directory on the sd-card for example and use this in StageWebView.
You also have to create a temporary html-page with the video-tag and load this page in StageWebView (not the string) because external resources are only loaded in StageWebView when using an URL.
On iOS the application storage directory is readable for StageWebView so you don't have to do this step.
Hope this helps

Netstream.play() mp3 file

Hello.
I am having troubles playing an mp3 stream, using
Netstream.play()
According to AS 3.0 livedocs in Adobe...
quote:
To play MP3 files, use mp3: before the stream name. To play
the ID3 tags of MP3 files, use id3: before the stream name
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html)
When I test playing a video stream (.flv), everything works
fine.
The error I get when I try to play an mp3 is:
Failed to play (stream ID: 1) code:
NetConnection.Call.BadVersion
I tried every different type of combinations:
stream.play("mp3:test.mp3"), (test), (test.mp3) and nothing works.
However, only in "mp3:test" I get the Call.BadVersion error. On the
other ones, simply it doesn't play nothing... It finds the file
though... because I get some results in the event handlers that i
don't get when I enter an invalid filename...
My question is... What is "NetConnection.Call.BadVersion",
and is it really possible to play an mp3 stream. Are there other
methods?

Question 1: When I put the .FLV files to play in the
"\streams\_definst_" of
the application directory of the Flash Media Server
installation, does that
automatically turn it into streaming FLV and no longer
progressive FLV?
The distinction between progressive and streaming is the
NetConnection.connect
Question 2: What's the best way to detect or to signal my app
that the
streaming FLV has completed playing?
Not sure what the best way is. But I subclass the NetStream
class similarily
to how it is presented in the Flash Communications Server
book example 5-5.
http://www.flash-communications.net/sourceCode/index.html
It uses a combination of NetStream.Play.Stop and bufferLength
== 0 as one
signal to toggle a stopped state flag and
NetStream.Buffer.Empty and that
stopped flag as another signal. The stopped flag is turned
off on the next
NetStream.Play.Start.

Playing icecast stream with flash-plugin problem

Hello,
i've got a problem playing an mp3 stream from a livecast
server with the flash-plugin (version 8,0,24) on IE (version
6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
On my pc it plays fine, on another pc (with the same
versions) it doesn't play at all.
Though in will play fine in firefox on both pc's.
I can see in the icecast admin that there are listeners
connected, so it has to be flash that's not playing the stream it's
receiving.
code used:
var streamName = 'stream'
System.security.allowDomain("
http://www.insertserverurlhere.com");
myRadio = new String("
http://www.insertserverurlhere.com:8000/"+streamName);
mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound(myRadio, true);
mySound.start();
Can anyone help me?

Getting lots of "NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW" when there's plenty of Bandwidth

Hi All,
We've upgraded our production servers to 3.5.3 on Windows 2008, and now I'm seeing a lot of "NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW" statuses in our client app's log. The server is streaming a very low bandwidth live video/audio stream, and the client has more than plenty of bandwidth to play it. The stream doesn't exhibit any audio drops or skipped frames, and there are no message drops on the server side. We have had clients complaining of random disconnects. Does anyone know why I might be getting this message? If anyone from Adobe could help with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Best,

Hi Asa,
Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, I already had this in my Application.xml and it was still doing it:
<Queue enabled="false">
Any other work arounds at this time?
In addition, I'm getting reports that users are getting disconnected. After some arbitrary time, the server issues a "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected" for no reason, or at least none that I can find. Is this also a known issue? Please advise, since this is happening on our production systems. Should I roll back to 3.5.2?
Thank you!
