NetStream.publish() PC vs. Mac?

I have an application that publishes a webcam stream to FMS and I am getting fantastic results on the PC, but on the Mac, I am getting some pixelation, but worse, the audio drops in/out completely. I have tried upgrading the Mac to the latest flash player, but still no luck.
I have tried playing around with the camera/mic settings and still getting nowhere. Again, PC works perfectly, Mac audio dropping out anywhere from 2-10 seconds, repeatedly.
Here are the current settings for the cam/mic:
cam.setMode(320,240,cam.fps);
cam.setQuality(40000,0);
mic.setRate(11);
I would really appreciate any help you guys can offer!
thanks in advance.
Steve

Thank you, Barbara B, for your reply. More specifically,...
I have PSE3.0 installed on my pc. I want to upgrade to the latest version and I also want to install the upgrade to my mac, so I can use PSE10 (or most current version) on both my pc and my mac.
1- Is there a way to upgrade my PSE3.0 to the latest version without purchasing the whole product?
2- Is this upgrade transferrable between my pc and my mac, so that I can have the program installed for use by and between both computers?
Thank you.

Using variable name for Netstream Publish() (actionscript)

Relatively new to Actionscript. In the netstream publish() or play() methods, can I pass variable names to the methods instead of hard-coding the stream name?
Example:
private function publishLiveStream():void
            ns = new NetStream(nc);
            ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
            ns.client = this;
          // blah blah other stuff...
           ns.publish("thefilename", "record");
I want to replace "thefilename" with a value passed from an input box or use dynamic naming (i.e. current date & time).

you can use in procedure using sunopisis technology
OdiExportMaster "-TODIR=/temp/" "-ZIPFILE_NAME=export.zip" "-XML_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1" "-JAVA_CHARSET=ISO8859_1" "-EXPORT_VERSIONS=YES"
or you can use (unix System)
OdiExportMaster "-TODIR=/#v_FileName" "-ZIPFILE_NAME=export.zip" "-XML_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1" "-JAVA_CHARSET=ISO8859_1" "-EXPORT_VERSIONS=YES"
Hope it will work
Thanks

Publish to .Mac/Publish All to .Mac

Under file I have the option to "Publish to .Mac" or "Publish All to .Mac." What 's the difference?
Thanks,
Pasquale

Hi Pasquale!
How are you? I hope you are having fun with iWeb!
"Publish All to .Mac" tells iWeb to publish each and every file of your website to your iDisk.
"Publish to .Mac" is the default publishing action. The "Publish" button in the lower left corner does the same thing. When you first publish your site, iWeb has to publish everything from scratch. But subsequent publishing only uploads the changed files, which saves time. This only works on .mac. So, the bottomline is that you should probably use the standard "Publish to .Mac" under normal circumstances.
Sometimes when problems crop up, one recommendation is to use the "Publish ALL to .Mac" option to lay down your site from scratch again. It's like erasing and publishing over again.

Publish to .Mac vs. Publish All to ,Mac

I am using iWeb v 1.1.2, which I know how to use and is satisfactory for my needs. I do have a question, however. What is the difference between the command "Publish to .Mac" vs. "Publish All to .Mac?" I usually use "Publish to .Mac" as this seems quicker and does not seem the change the .js and Slideshow.html files that I hack to autoplay the audio, eliminate the reflections, etc. Although I don't seem to have any problem with this approach, I would like to be sure that I am not missing anything.
Thank you.

James,
Good question. I realized I wasn't sure myself. Here's what I found in iWeb Help:
"When you publish a site, all the sites and pages you changed since the last time you published are published. In other words, you can't publish only selected websites or webpages; your published websites always match the sites and pages in iWeb.
You can publish all your sites and pages (not just those changed sinced you last published), by choosing File > Publish All to .Mac. You might want to publish all your pages if, for example, you accidentally delete your site from .Mac, if you change .Mac accounts and want to publish to your new .Mac account, or if you discover missing links or pages in your site."

I'm waiting for your answers!

The NetStream.Publish.BadName status means an attempt was made to publish to a stream that is already being published by someone else. Is another client using the same stream name?
About the connections being closed, there a lots of conditions that could cause the connection to be lost. It may not be an FMS or FMLE error, it could be poor conditions on the local network, or between the local network and the server.

NetStream.Publish.Failed

I'm trying to connect 2 swfs over Stratus and the second client is getting NetStream.Publish.Failed when I try to publish a stream. They both have connected to Stratus via the NetConnection and one can publish a stream but the second can not. I've made sue that each swf is using a different name to publish. I can't find this error listed anywhere in the documentation it only listed NetStream.Publish.BadName. I'm using the AIR 2 RC1 beta sdk from adobe labs set to publish for 10.1.
Are there any other reasons why i would be getting NetStream.Publish.Failed?

I found out why it was failing. I was entering the peerID I wanted to allow connection from instead of allowing any direction connection.
so I had:
stream = new NetStream(connection, farID);
stream.publish( channel );
where is should be:
stream = new NetStream(connection, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
stream.publish( channel );
then the other client needs to use both my farID and name of my stream in order to connect

NetStream.publish for P2P NetGroup fails in the FMS 4.0 AS

Hi,
I recently tried to modify the system-provided codes in the "multicast" folder, and could not get it work. I pinned down the issue to be the function call NetStream.publish("p2p_pindao1", "live") always failed for me. The proof the function call failed including:
1. The returned value is false.
2. I got no further events beyond NetStream.Connect.Success, i.e. I did not get the expected NetStream.Publish.Start
The following are the testing codes
application.onAppStart = function()
var nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = testNetStatus;
nc.connect("rtmfp://localhost/TVLive");
trace("to connect");
function testNetStatus(info)
trace("TestNetStatus:" + info.code);
var gs = new GroupSpecifier("net.lysk.pindao1");
gs.serverChannelEnabled = true;
gs.postingEnabled = true;
gs.peerToPeerDisabled = false;
// Multicast address over which to exchange peer discovery.
//var p2pm = "224.0.0.255:30000"; // BUGBUG
// Must be enabled for LAN peer discovery to work
//gs.ipMulticastMemberUpdatesEnabled = true;
var ng = new NetGroup(this, gs);
ng.objNc = this;
ng.objGs = gs;
ng.onStatus = testNetGroupStatus;
function testNetGroupStatus(info)
trace("testNetGroupStatus:" + info.code);
var ns = new NetStream(this.objNc, this.objGs);
ns.onStatus = testNetStreamStatus;
function testNetStreamStatus(info)
trace("testNetStreamStatus:" + info.code);
if (info.code == "NetStream.Connect.Success")
if(!this.attach(Stream.get("mp4:sample1_1000kbps.f4v")))
trace("can not attach");
if (!this.publish("testpublish", "live"))
trace ("can not publish");
tracing outputs are the following:
to connect
TestNetStatus:NetConnection.Connect.Success
testNetGroupStatus:NetGroup.Connect.Success
testNetStreamStatus:NetStream.Connect.Success
can not publish
Your help in solving the problem will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

em, it appears I was wrong in believing peerToPeerDisabled=true sufficed for P2P publishing, while multicastEnabled was for IP multicast. I will try out the answer. Thanks for the help.

NetStream.Publish.BadName

For some reason my Internet connection between FME and FMS is
not stable. When connection
with my live stream is dropped I can't reconnect to FMS and
I'm getting " NetStream.Publish.BadName"
error. It is because previous session (project) exists for
random time.
The only solution I made is to put FME in command line mode
in batch continous loop (as
FME exits on that error so the standard reconnect procedure
does not work) - it takes even
few minutes in few cases I was able to trace (many tries). In
GUI mode situation is much is
worse - there is dialog window that requires clicking when
that error occurs.
The other one is manual and requires someone watching stream
24/7 - vhost restart - plus all
clients are dropped. Baaad - it is better to make clients
wait for stream 2-5 minutes than force all of them
to restart live stream Flash player.
Is live streaming with FME + FMS designed to work only on
stable LAN connection?
Even if that is true such disconnects can occur - so this bug
is really anoying.
Does anyone found other solutions than mine?

The same problem with latest FME 3.2 and FMS 4.5 default live app. Setting PublishTimeout=-1 serverside and/or increasing reconnect interval in FME does not help.
Any workaround except custom live app with shared objects?

Publishing to Mulitple .mac accounts

Hi. I have multiple .Mac accounts and am currently working on two websites in iWeb. The problem I'm having is getting the 2nd website to post to another .Mac account via iWebs "publish" functionality. They both post under the same .Mac account user URL site. Is there away to do this so each site posts to the proper .Mac accounts website?
Thanks,
-J

James,
I think your understanding of the matter is correct. But I would suggest that the cleanest and most elegant option is probably the second method which involves creating a second system user account for the second .Mac account. Then the only thing you would need to do is to log into the right account in OS X to publish to each .Mac account.
Changing the .Mac preferences back and forth is cumbersome and still doesn't do away with the problem of having both sites under the same Domain file. With separate system accounts, each .Mac account will have its own Domain file which you will not have to keep track of. Changing .Mac preferences back and forth also affects other things that you might use, like iChat or syncing to your iDisk. Very messy.
Anyways, good luck with this. Do me a favor and mark this reply with the little buttons above as either "helpful" or "solved." Thanks.

NetStream publish and play synchronize buffers

NetStream publish and play synchronize buffers

I haven't tried to run your code, but something obvious is
the server-side code. It doesn't do anything.
When you publish a stream, you need to tell other client to
connect to it... manually. There are three thing to account for. A
client connecting needs to subscribe to all existing streams. A
client connecting needs to inform all existings clients that it has
published its stream and give them the stream name so they can
subscribe. The client needs to receive stream names of any new
(future) connecting clients so it can subscribe to their stream.
First you need to publish your stream... lets say this is
client A and publishes a stream named stream_A.
1. Then you need to send the stream name (stream_A) to all
other existing clients, so they can subscribe to it.
2. Then you need to receive the names of existing clients
streams, so the client can subscribe to them.
The logic in step 1, will handle any new clients connecting
in the future.
If anyone sees any errors in this or has a better method..
please feel free to add to it....

Help, i cant password protect when i publish to my .Mac account

Whenever i try to put a password-protect my site i keep on getting an error message when im publishing to my .Mac account. "there was an error updating your .Mac account". When i publish my site without the password protection everything goes smoothly and no problems.
Is there some setting i dont know of that is preventing me from doing so?
Does it take time for this feature to work? (i only bought the subscription and registered to .Mac yesterday)
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

nah... giving up now. cant password protect the site
told .mac support, they said its a problem with my ISP. Im inclining to agree. Unfortunately the ISp dont have mac tech support. so yeah.
hope the next few updates are less awry.

NetStream.publish() to AMS ends up with 1kb file.

I'm using Adobe Media Server 4.5 and the FLEX 4.6.0 sdk.
I have an .swf application that connects to Adobe Media Server over RMTP, takes audio and video input from the user's webcam and mic, and does a NetStream.publish() to stream the file to the server. When the user is done, I do a NetStream.stop(). On occasion, the resulting file will end up with a size of 1kb.
What's causing this and how can I prevent it, or otherwise end the session and inform the user that something went wrong?
Alternatively, these forums seem dead, so does anyone know of a place where my question might be better suited?

Solved by changing the frame rate of the footage (image sequence) into any other frame rate, then change back to desired frame rate. In my case, after load the image sequence >check inspector of footage >change current frame rate (from 24fps to other fps) >change back frame rate to 24fps. Same bug in version 3.5.2. Hope it helps.

No there is not unless you install Windows on your Mac using Bootcamp or a virtual program such as Parallels.

Have conflicting views from Apple Specialists; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac, however work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Pages open, edit and resave them? Or, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs?

Have conflicting views from apple Specialits; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac. However, I work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Apple PAGES open .pub files, edit and resave them? OR, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs? if yes to buy, any recommendations?

If you want to switch from PC to Apple I recommend a programm like Parallels.
It has a tool (believe its called transporter) which runs on your current PC and creates a file (big) which is a "virual machine". It is a 1:1 copy of your PC which will run under parallels on your iMac.
You will be running your "old" PC as it was under MAC OS X while you run MAC applikations etc at the same time.
This is how I made the transition to Apple.

HI,Why every five minutes, the server - side NetStream.publish failure

RTMP spread to the FMS, and then create netGroup and NetStream objects on the server side, then the NetStream.publish (), the beginning of everything is normal, but after five minutes, very strange happens to be five minutes, the client node receives less thanstream had, and I monitor the status of this server-side NetStream no change is to publish the start, why the five minutes it will automatically stop publishing flow RTMP stream has been no problem in the transmission

i assume, from your post, that you are using FMS and are publishing a multicast stream.
if you are using the "Flash Media Development Server", prior to release 4.5, multicast streams time out after about 10 minutes. as of release 4.5, multicast streams time out after about 30 minutes. to see this and other limits of the Development Server, see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/helpmechoose.html
if that is not the problem, then if you are writing your own server-side scripts, perhaps you are not anchoring a NetStream, Stream, or NetConnection object properly and it is being destroyed by the garbage collector.
if you need more help with Flash Media Server, you should direct your questions to the Flash Media Server forums. the Codename Cirrus service is not based on FMS.
