Playing recorded stream

Hi
I have a problem with playing recorded stream. I have file in streams folder, I play() it and then after some time (few seconds/minutes) the stream just disaperas (from streams tab in console) and playback in users stops. stream.onStatus doesnt dispatch anything.
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..

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

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

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,
Marius

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?

Record Streaming Video from Computer

I need to "capture" streaming video that plays on a computer.
I can't seperate out the file, just need to record as it plays. If
Captivate can't do it, does anyone know of another program that
can?
Thanks much!

I have had this problem with TechSmith's software as well.
Try turning off video hardware acceleration.
Also, make sure you don't move anything once you've begun.
Oddly, even screen recordings made with TechSmith's Morae recording .NET 3 applicaitons can lose the content and present a black screen.
Here's the drill:
    Record a software interaction.
    Edit and export video. (If you move the editing window, the recorded image seems to stay where it was, but becomes invisible. Sort of like sliding a cropping guide off a picture and onto a table.)
    Launch video player and play recording
    Move video player.
    Recording disappears until you put player back where it was.
I've had similar problems with Camtasia and SnagIt.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Recording stream?

Suppose I was to buy that microphone gadget for my mac. Would I be able to use it to record streams as i listen to them, for future play back? I'm thinking about perhaps recording conversations, you know when dealing with debt collection agencies for example....
With the microphone gadget you could feed the output back in and perhaps record it to mp3 or something?

It sounds to me like you are referring to iMic <http://www.griffintechnology.com>. It is esentially an external audio processor that converts analog audio into a digital signal. Is connects to your Mac vis USB.
You don't need an iMic to capture an audio stream from the internet. The iMic is useful if you want to capture audio with a microphone or from a line out jack on a cassette player, for example.
The iMic is not a microphone. It has a input jack for connecting your microphone to it.
Audio Hijack Pro is an excellent app for managing your captured audio. Also, Fission is an audio editing app that works nicely with Audio Hijack. It's features include lossless editing, ID tagging and support for adding album art. Both are shareware from <http://www.rougeamoeba.com/>.
Good luck.

Can line in record streaming aud

I've never had an mp3 player with line in capabilities. From what I understand, line in recording can be done with CD's, etc... I was curious whether the line in could record streaming audio (such as an internet audio broadcast)? If so, I think this would be an excellent feature that would probably make the GB worthwile over the 52MB even if space wasn't too much of an issue. Thanks!?

Line-in accepts an audio line-in signal not a digital stream. You could plug the sound output from your PC into the line-in and record the stream as it is being played but you might as well just do that on the PC and transfer it as the quality will be better.

Recording beta question - seeking in recorded streams and syncing playback

hi lccs, some initial questions for you as i get started on the beta..
you say audio and video are saved in separate FLVs on the client server. does LCCS ensure that audio/video sync is maintained during playback?
how are the recorded streams delivered during playback? can you seek into these streams? e.g. if i have a recording of a video chat, can i use a timeline to seek forward and back through that video?
and finally - i will want to play back a recorded audio video chat between two users. will LCCS take care of synchronization between these four streams? (two video, two audio) or do i need to build a synchronized buffering strategy to achieve this?

To reiterate Raff's point - when you setup a ConnectSessionContainer with a
PlaybackAuthenticator (essentially, a "playback application"), that
ConnectSession does all the work of synchronizing streams for you. As Raff
says, you can build a timeline and seek within it - ConnectSession's
archiveManager exposes all aspects of the playback to you.
In fact, here's a basic seek bar you could try :
<s:HSlider width="800" maximum="{cSession.archiveManager.totalTime}"
value="{cSession.archiveManager.currentTime}" id="slider"
change="cSession.archiveManager.seek(slider.value)"/>
lastly, as Raff also says, you're not restricted to playing back the exact
application you recorded. If you had, say, audio/video chat plus text chat
recorded, and all you wanted for playback was the A/V, remove the text chat
from your playback application (and delete the chat FLV from the recording
zip, to save on bandwidth), and your playback app should just work. You can
also totally re-layout how your app looks for playback as compared to
"live", or allow your users to manipulate the layout or contents of what's
being played back as they watch the recording. We think this will allow for
some really interesting, innovative applications.
hope that helps,
nigel

Audio dropping from recorded stream during playback

NOTE: I posted this same question on the Adobe Groups FMS
Users page.
I am using Stream.play() on the server side to set up a hub
to switch between live streams and recorded streams. Basically, I
have a live video stream that we want to switch in a recorded
segment (flv) at the end of which we go back to the live stream.
Both the live stream and the recorded stream are at the same data
rate.
I'm following the code samples from:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashmediaserver/3.0/hpdocs/help.html?content=00000386.html
The problem I'm having is that the audio starts for the
recorded segment but goes silent after the first 2-3 seconds of
audio. This happens every time the clip is played. This clip plays
fine when linked to directly, without being part of the hub system
using Stream.play(). I have tried this with several recorded
segments with the same result.
Has anyone seen this happen before?

Thanks for the suggestion Jody. Would this work in 3.0.3 as I
am not on 3.5 yet? I tried adding this to the fms.ini for 3.0.3 and
nothing changed. It may also be worth noting that I am having the
issue even with only a single user connected.
When the client sends a message to the server to play my
"demo" the server calls the following lines of code:
application.mainStream = Stream.get("foo");
application.mainStream.play("shortDemo", 0, -1, false,
application.myVODConn);
application.mainStream.play("liveEncoderVideo", -1, -1,
false);
This should switch from the currently playing
"liveEncoderVideo" stream to the "shortDemo" and then back.
The myVODConn is getting set up right as I can see the demo
but again the audio just drops out after 2-3 secs. I also tried to
use the AdobeBand sample files and I get the same thing.

Play live streams on FMS3

There is a problem when I just try to develop with FMS3.I
find that the stream is not so fluency when use default settings.If
I code "cam.setQuality(0,100)",the problem disapeared.After that,I
try to code "ns.publish(***,"record")".Then I play the stream "***"
,It's fluency.I don't know why and how to fix the problem.

by "fluency " do you mean the "jerks" in video while playing
back them on a flash client?.
If it is so, then one way to solve this is to increase the
default buffer length (0.1 sec)in the "subscriber" flash client to
1 sec or more.

Recording stream suddenly stops

Hello.
Our team is developing an application that allows users to communicate via their own camera, and make a record of all user's cameras that are in the same room. However we have come across an issue with our FMS 4 server. The issue is that sometimes when a user records all streams in a room at one point the recording process for particular streams suddenly stops but at the same time streaming is still working. For example, 2 users were broadcasting and one of them was recording their streams. At the end of the recording there were 2 flv files, however one of them was only a quarter of the actual length.
The logs for the damaged stream were:
- publish stream at 10:48:38
- play stream at 10:48:38
- record stream at 10:48:44
- unpublish stream at10:53:11
- stop stream at 10:53:12
Total length of the flv file should be more than 4 min but actually it is only 1 min 12 sec. Any ideas?

perconte2121, this is a pretty old thread, but just in case you are still stuck with the problem, the solution offered by ctdavids here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/865510 worked for me!
The problem was that the recording stream was being assigned to a variable inside the function (that starts the recording) is enough to start the recording. But, within a few minutes, the variable would get garbage collected. This would make the recording to abruptly stop with no status notifications or error messages.
To fix the issue, just put the variable inside of a global object, say,
recordingStreamReference = Stream.get('recordingIsHere');
strMaps[recordingStreamName] = recordingStreamReference;
where strMaps is the global variable (Object), recordingStreamName is just a unique name for the recording, and the recordingStreamReference is the variable that has the recording stream.
Hope this helps!

Playing recorded loops (they stay greyed out)

When recording on a loop , it creates multiple recordings, and places it on a new track. I love this functionality! However only the last loop recorded lets me play it / hear it. How do I enable the other tracks so that i can hear them (ungrey them out / enable them). Much thanks in advance for any help!
ps - I searched for this but couldnt fund any relevant results

Timothy, this has nothing to do with this topic.

How can you record stream from a webcam like YouTube does it

We need to create a webcam stream recorder with FMS which should be able to record stream in some predefined quality (128000/bandwidth,95/quality) and will work also in the situation when the user doesn't have enough bandwidth to transfer this stream in realtime. YouTube has a solution which is using something like a buffer and when the user stops recording they continue to send video data to the server until the stream is completely recorded. We are recording the stream from our user's webcam, but when the bandwidth is not consistent or not enough, we are losing video data and ending up with poor quality recordings. What we need is that the record stream is buffered on the user's computer and the video data continues to be sent to our server even after the user has finished recording so that we end up with the complete stream (video data). We need some idea how to do this - which specific features should we used for this solution?

Does it have to be a live solution? Or can you have the user record locally and then upload to your FMS server?

My iPad will no longer play any streaming video. It loads but will not play. Does anyone else have this problem?

My iPad will no longer play any streaming video. The video loads but will not play. This happens on all apps including you tube, abc, Netflix, etc. can you help?

Tried a soft reboot and it worked. Thanks for the suggestion.
