Playing video streaming

I begin to implement a video chat in java. I used JMF for capturing video streaming from a digital camera and RTP protocol for transmiting the video stream. I want to play the stream into an Applet (so on the client side). I don't want to use jmf on client side (an RTP Applet Player or something like this) because this means that the client needs to instal the JMF package. I need a solution to play the stream stream into an applet but I want that the client don't need to instal any software. I can use anything on server side (from where I transmit)...Is this possible? Please help me. Thank you.

I've only done some web cam capturing code, but I thought you only need the "performance pack" of JMF installed on a machine if you want to perform capturing.
So, maybe you can still use JMF in an applet without a formal installation on the client pc.
Just itry ncluding the jmf.jar and any CODEC class files necessary to replay your video stream ?
It's worth a shot... although someone may very well correct me on this.

Owen

SpryTabbedPanel: Flash player in tabs do not play video streams

Note: I am a complete noob (no experience with Javascript and rudimentary experience with htlm/css). Please be patient (I hope that this is the correct forum for this) and know that I am appreciative of any help or solution that anyone can provide.
Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac OS 10.5.8
We recently switched all of our streaming servers from Windows Media (good riddance) to Flash Media Server 3.5 (now getting awesome H.264 quality in comparison).
I was asked to re-design this webpage with the aim of re-organizing the content so that it is more accessible:
http://www.librarymedia.net/VideoGallery.html
We used Adobe's test page for our first page:
http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/videoplayer.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/livestr eam&type=live&idx=10
This was meant as a temporary page to get us started, and as you can see, it needs work but at least it works.
I've been working the the final version of this page. My boss wants a tabbed web page with links to our video streams (tab for each category of streams).
This is what I have so far:
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.4/live/lives tream&type=live&idx=10
I realize that I had several options before building this. One, I could have made a separate page for each tab and linked them with a tab menu. In hindsight, this might have been a better option since I could have just copied the working page that we already have for each tab. Or I could have done what I have tried to do: to use Dreamweaver's SpryTabbedPanel to make the tabs and insert a Flash player with links into each tab.
The problem:
1. The streams do not play. The player says "initializing" and then "please enter a stream name and play". Please note that I used SpryURLutils to get each link to open in the appropriate tab.
2. After reading about the benefits of external vs. inline javascript, I took all of the inline javascript that was contained in Adobe's sample page and placed it in an external file. I tried placing the javascript back into the source code (inline), but this did not fix the problem. I guess there is a Javascript problem or I need extra Javascript code to get this to work. The javascript code is below. Use view source in your web browser to see source code. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Thanks.

>There is a sample application of the code included with the zip file which shows how to implement it.
The sample doesn't really tell me what I need to do to the code to make it work (I do not know javascript), and unfortunately, I have not found any helpful instructions/documentation online. You've given me the answer, I just don't know enough to implement it. This is what I've done:
1. Placed the FAVideo.js file in my site folder and linked it to the page: <script src="FAVideo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
2. I added the following code (taken from the SimpleDemo.html example inside the FAVideo folder). My comments in bold. Page at
http://www.librarymedia.net/Flash2/videoplayer2.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Ol ympics2010_640x480.mov
         <! To the <body> section:-->
<body onLoad="">
    <div id="divOne"></div>
<!-Do I have to place the entire page within the "divOne" div (or just the section containing the tabs) in order for the javascript to work?-->
         <!-In the <head> section: -->
   <script type="text/javascript">
        playerOne = new FAVideo("divOne", "TabbedPanels1", "demo_video.flv",0,0,{ autoLoad:true, autoPlay:true });
    </script>
<!- I noticed that the body code added a div id called "divOne", so I added the "TabbedPanels1" div id to the above code thinking that this would apply the javascript code to all of the tabs. Dreamweaver adds <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> to the page when you insert the tabbed menu, so I'm thinking the javascript has to point to either one of those for it to work. The "demo_video.flv",0,0 code is probably unneccesary, right? As you can see, I'm completely clueless. -->
    <script>
        playerOne.addEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
        playerOne.removeEventListener("playheadUpdate",this,myHandler);
        function myHandler() {
            //alert("eh");
    </script>
</body>

Video stream recording (not webcam) help required

I am making a media player / recorder type web application in flex 4.
The application plays video streams streamed from my red5 server.
I want to give users the ability to make / record clips of the video they are viewing.
I know that netstream.publish is used to record/save video on the server.
All the help i've found on google so far just give examples to save video from webcam.
But i want to save video from a video being streamed from red5 server and being played
on VideoPlayer control in flex.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello ak_kanan,
Welcome to the forums.
Try doing the following. In the browser swipe down from the top and choose Settings, now choose Content, here where it says Enable Flash change this to Off. Now try going to the website that was not working (it will not work again this is fine) Once on the page swipe down from the top again and this time enable the Flash setting. Now reload the page and test to see if you have the same issue.
Let us know how you make out.

Video Streaming in Windows media player won't play through Airport Extreme

Hello and thank you for reading my issue.
I have the current square shaped airport extreme base station. My mother has a Windows XP system on her Toshiba laptop and she takes an online class which has video streaming for the lectures. When we connect to the network wirelessly or with an ethernet cable through the base station, the video will not begin to buffer and won't play from the website. It just states ready and doesn't buffer. However, if we connect the laptop straight to our cable modem without the base station, the videos stream and play perfectly. Anybody know how we can fix this to play through the wireless network? Thanks a lot.
MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I've played with all sorts of software settings and configurations. This is what worked for me, but I'm not sure how it would work for anyone else, or if the issues are even related, but here goes.
1 - Turn multicast rate to 1 MBPS in the drop down menu found in Airport Utility>Airport icon>Wireless Options Button.
2 - Turn off multicast in Windows Media Player or Real Player
3 - Turn on Video Overlay Optimization check box in Real Player.
These things worked for me, hopefully they will help or give you some ideas for your own situtation.

How to play live Video Stream with Flex?

I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media
Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server.
I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not
with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams:
If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

Oh and sorry for the double post. I didn't know there was a seperate FMS forum.

That worked! Thanks *very* much. Stupid of me to forget to set the live attribute to true. Also removed the .flv. BTW: what video component do you prefer?
Here's the working code:

Why is my ipad2 not buffering videos streaming from web as quickly as it can play them and keep making my videos stop playing?

When I try watching videos streaming from itunes or u tube or any streaming source the ipad2 does not buffer the videos as fast as they are being played. This makes the videos stop playing within a few seconds after they start and I have to continuously hit the play button to watch videos in bits and pieces. This makes the streaming of videos on this device virtually impossible.

You may be having some problem in your local network or your internet connection is not fast enough to properly stream the videos.
What type of internet connection are you using (cable, DSL, etc?)
What sort of local network do you have? router make/model, etc.
What other traffic is on your network?

Hard Reset the iPod as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons

Playing IP Multicast Video Stream

I want to get an app that allows the iphone to receive and display an encoded video stream. The video stream could be coming over 3G or over WiFi. It will be an UDP/IP Multicast stream with an address in the 235.239.0.1 range. The VLC laptop version will receive and play the stream, but so far I cant find an iPhone app that will do it (VLC for iPHone will not receive a multicast stream over WiFi). Please help.

on my ipad 2 video streaming stops after a few seconds, only sound is playing .what could be the reason and how to solve this problem.
I have a feeling that it may have started after upgrading to ios6.

Hi,
Is this failing with Error 20 ?
Sometimes in a the router or modem if you use Port Forwarding then you are your Buddy may be missing the Screen Sharing Port.
The Screen Sharing part uses a different port to the Audio port.
As the port for Audio (And therefore Video) are known and can be port Forwarded it is the random Screen Sharing port that can be the problem.
iChat 3 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 that includes Bonjour and Jabber info
iChat 4 info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282
If you are not using (or your Buddy) UPnP then I would change the method of opening the port to that.

Video streaming from iPhone to Apple TV only plays the sound. How can I fix this?

Video Streaming using AirPlay from iPhone(5s) to Apple TV only plays the sound. The TV screen goes blank when I choose AirPlay but only the sound plays. How can I fix this?

Is this using a specific app or apps? Not all apps support video out over AirPlay, the option is up to the app developer.

C# Playing Video From A Memory Stream Using DirectShow (quartz.dll).

I have a C# Visual Studio WinForms app that plays video using the QuartzTypeLib (quartz.dll). With the code I've written, I can play any video file from the hard drive. Here's the code at the top that executes when the app starts:
        public const int WS_CHILD = 0x40000000;
        public const int WS_CLIPCHILDREN = 0x2000000;
        public QuartzTypeLib.IMediaControl mc;
        public QuartzTypeLib.IVideoWindow videoWindow = null;
        IMediaPosition mp = null;
And here's the code that opens the video file:
        private void openMediaToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            // Open a media file.
            OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
            ofd.Filter = "Video Files|*.mpg;*.avi;*;*.wmv;*.mov";
            ofd.FilterIndex = 1;
            if (DialogResult.OK == ofd.ShowDialog())

                    mc.Stop();

                    videoWindow.Owner = (int)pbVideoDisplay.Handle;
                    videoWindow.WindowStyle = WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN;
                    videoWindow.SetWindowPosition(
                    pbVideoDisplay.ClientRectangle.Left,
                    pbVideoDisplay.ClientRectangle.Top,
                    pbVideoDisplay.ClientRectangle.Width,
                    pbVideoDisplay.ClientRectangle.Height);
                catch //(Exception Ex)
                    // I'll write code for this when I have a need to.
                // Now we convert the video to a byte array.
                FileStream fs = new FileStream(ofd.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
                try
                    // Here we convert the video to Base 64.
                    VideoInBytes = new byte[fs.Length];
                    VideoInBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(ofd.FileName);
                    VideoInBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(VideoInBytes);
                catch //(Exception Ex)
                    //throw new Exception("Error in base64Encode" + Ex.Message); Worry about this later.
Notice that I have code that converts the video to a Base64 string. I'd like to add code that will allow me to play a video from a memory stream or any other type of stream that might work better. Is that even possible and if so, what code would I need to add
and where would I put it?

You should be able to do it by developing a plug-in for the existing DShow filter. For instance, wmv files are being opened/read with the "WM ASF Reader" filter. You can register your own protocol and implement your own plug-in for that protocol
(e.g. you could name it 'memory', and your URL would look like
memory://something.wmv). You can register your protocol under the [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\memory\Extensions] by creating a new string value with the file extension as a name (.wmv). The value is the WM ASF Readers's
GUID ({187463A0-5BB7-11D3-ACBE-0080C75E246E}).
You also need to register your plugin that will be used for a wmv file when used with the 'memory' protocol.
In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media\WMSDK\sources] create a new string value with the protocol name and the value is a path to you DLL plug-in. Your plug-in must implement the IStream interface. The plugin DLL exports a single function:
HRESULT WMCreateStreamForURL( LPCWSTR pwszURL, BOOL *pfCorrectSource, IStream **ppStream )
MSDN can provide more info on WMCreateStreamForURL() and plugins in general.
Once you do that, what will happen is this: each time you open a file like "memory://myfile.wmv", the WM ASF Reader filter will load your plugin, call WMCreateStreamForURL() and it will use your custom IStream object for all read/write operations.

When I play videos (you tube, live streaming, etc, firefox freezes

Hi
When I play video links or watch something with live streaming, firefox just freezes. I cannot do anything except go to task manager and try end the task there.

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!
