Problem relaying live stream using different urls

Hi,
I have setup QT Broadcaster to announce a stream to my qtss.
I announced the stream to a directory live/stream.sdp
This works without a clinch when using the same URL for viewing, e.g.
rtsp://rtsp.myqttss.com/live/stream.sdp
If I create a symlink (or simply copy the sdp file) from live/stream.sdp to test/stream.sdp and try to access the stream through
rtsp://rtsp.myqttss.com/test/stream.sdp
it does not work anymore. QT Viewer will connect, but does not play the stream.
I am wondering why this is. Is the mountpoint relevant for accessing the stream? All neccessary information should be contained in the sdp file.
The reason I would like to do that is because we have a payment module for QTSS that will use a 'virtual' address to dispatch a stream to the client. This works perfectly for non live content.
Thanks

Ok.
No problem now.
Thanks.

Live stream using CDN

Hello!
I'm having problems with live streaming.
When I use my own Flash Media Server at localhost it works perfect, but when I use my CDN and OSMF I get the next error message:
Error: Connection refused by FMS.
It works perfect if I use NetConnection and NetStream.
This is my piece of code:
var container:MediaContainer = new MediaContainer();
addChildAt(container, 0);
_mp = new MediaPlayer();
_mp.autoRewind = false;
var videoElementStatic:VideoElement = new VideoElement(new StreamingURLResource("rtmp://myhost/myapp/live/livestream",StreamType.LIVE_OR_RECORDED), new NetLoader());
_mp.media = videoElementStatic;
container.addMediaElement(videoElementStatic);
P.D.: My CDN is Level 3
Any ideas?
thanks.

I'm not sure whether Level 3 requires the FMS application instance. But you might want to try the instruction in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2782150#2782150
I doubt that's the problem though, because that should prevent the connection from happening entirely. It sounds more like an authentication issue, you might need to follow up with Level 3 to make sure you have any necessary token in your URL.

How to use Phone camera for live streaming rather than using WireCast camera in Live streaming using Azure Media Services

Hi,
am planning to develop a live streaming app using C# and xaml.
I have gone through the below sample and am able to stream the live content using wireacst camera.
Azure Media Services Live Streaming Sample
But i want to use Phone camera to stream the live video rather using wirecast camera.
How can i use that? How to get the published URL from the C# code, is there any API to get that?
Anybody please help me

Santhosh

Hello,
There are no in box components that will allow you to transmit captured video from a Windows Phone device to Azure Media Services. You will need to create you own implementation. You can do this by creating a custom Media Foundation sync that can plug into
the MediaCapture element's pipeline. You will then need to modify the captured and compressed video to align to one of the two protocols that Azure Media services can use. At this time Azure Media services can use either Smooth Streaming or RTMP for ingestion.
You will need to create your own packager (or find compatible packager code from a 3rd party) to package the MP4 encoded data into the necessary format.
Here is an example of how to create a custom Media Foundation sync (please note you must write your Media Foundation components using C++ MoCOM. We do not support Media Foundation components written in managed languages):

Problem with live streaming video after system updates

Dear all,
I hope you can assist me on this.
Yesterday, I downloaded the following automatic updates: iLife Support 9.0.4, Remote Desktop Client update 3.4, Mac OS X Update Combined 10.6.7, Airport Utility 5.5.2.
After that, I could NO MORE watch live streaming channels. To be precise, l can properly hear the sound, but not see the video.
I wish to underline the fact that before installing the automatic updates listed above, I had a clear sound and video of all live streaming sites.
I downloaded the latest versions of JAVA and Flash, but unfortunately they didn't solve the problem.
Therefore, I am quite sure the live streaming disfunction has to do with the system automatic updates. Is there any way to uninstall yesterday's updates without compromising the various softwares and OS performance?
What else could be if not related to the system updates?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

Stan,
I hadn't heard of gspot before. I downloaded it and it looks like a nice, handy tool. Thanks.
After running it, I didn't see anything that caught my eye as unusual (corrupt file, unknown codec, etc.) I have posted a screenshot at the following URL if you care to look.
www.cbvideo.com/gspot/gspot-out.jpg
Now, let me add to the mystery. I was just able to burn it without incident with Encore 1.5 and the same chapter mark locations. There are only two things I can think of that would be possible causes. 1) something quirky about CS3, even though I've not had any prior problems in two years with it for my business OR 2) the file had become corrupted when moving from the capture computer (the older computer with 1.5) to the newer computer (with CS3). As the file seems to be okay on the 2nd computer (plays fine in WMP and imports into both Premiere and Encore), I'm leaning toward #1.
I have been able to successfully work around the problem to finish this job for the client, but I'd still like to know what's going on for future reference. If anyone has other ideas, please let me know.

Re-Start a Live Stream using AMS 5 through Cloudfront

We have AMS 5 running on an Amazon EC2 instance. We send a Live Stream from an FMLE encoder using H.264/AAC.
If we do an Origin Pull from that instance running the AMS 5 and Live steam through one of our commercial CDN accounts, we can stop and re-start our Live stream without issue. It stops and re-starts as it should. When we re-connect to the AMS using FMLE, using the Origin Pull, the stream re-starts in either the OSMF or JW Player 6 in under 30 seconds.
If we use that same AMS 5 on the same EC2 instance and Live stream through an Amazon Cloudfront distribution, if we stop our Live stream, when we re-start the stream it takes an unacceptably long time for the stream to refresh - if ever. Basically, after the re-start of the Live stream through FMLE, the Live stream at the player plays the first 10 or 15 seconds of the intial Live stream and then stops. If you refresh the player, it will play that same 10 or 15 seconds again - and stop again.
It would seem that the AMS 5 is setup correctly. It works through our commercial CDN.
It also would seem that the issue is with the cache on Amazon Cloudfront. Our assumption is that the Cloudfront cache is not properly updating. But we have tried about every variable in every setting for Cloudfront that we can find. We can't get past this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There appears to be 2 different issues - one issue with Amazon Cloudfront and a second issue with Adobe Media Server. Unfortunately, they are tied together in the real world application of these programs.
In AMS. when we use the adbe-record-mode=record, then the AMS works fine because the AMS is clearing the streams on each re-publish. Unfortunately, this causes a status code error on Amazon Cloudfront. And that particular status code error from a custom origin server causes Cloudfront to "override the minimum TTL settings for applicable cache settings". As the programmers explained, basically what happens is that Cloudfront overrides our 30 second cache settings and goes into a standard cache setting of 5 minutes. And waiting 5 minutes to re-start a Live stream just doesn't work in the real world for real customers.
We can fix that Cloudfront status code error issue by using adbe-record-mode=append on the AMS. If we use that AMS setting, then we can stop a Live stream, re-start the stream, the Cloudfront cache clears and everything works - unless you also change the stream settings in your FMLE. If you stop the stream and change the video input or output size in the FMLE, then the AMS server gets stuck and can't/won't append to the f4f record file.
Does anyone have any ideas about how we can adjust all of this so that it works together?
Thanks

Can storing a live stream using actionscript fail by the cache filling up with overhead?

Hi,
Lately we have been seeing a problem with the archives of live streams we create using FMS. We use FMS for live streaming and concurrently store the stream in a file using ActionScript. We use the following code to record:
var s2 = Stream.get('mp4:' + mp4name);
application.publishedStreamMP4= s2;
application.publishedStreamMP4.record();
application.publishedStreamMP4.play(application.publishedStream.name,-1,-1);
(some lines have been removed that are used for logging, etc).
Sometimes some of these functions fail and return false. In these cases FMS's core log shows that the cache is full:
2013-06-11 11:45:55        13863   (w)2611372      The FLV segment cache is full. -
In investigating this issue I have not yet been able to recreate this exact situation. By lowering the cache to 1MB I have however been able to create a situation where storing a stream can stop because the cache is full. The situation occurs as follows:
* The server is restarted, the cache is empty.
* A live stream is started, which is also recorded.
* Via the Administration API the cache values <bytes> and <bytes_inuse> show to be exactly the same as the <overhead> of the object that relates to the file being saved. The <bytes> and <bytes_inuse> values of the object are 0.
* This continues in the same way untill the cache is full.
* When the limit of the cache is reached the message
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (w)2611372      The FLV segment cache is full. -
is shown in the core log and storing of the file stops. The instance log also show status changes:
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (s)2641173      MP4 recording status for livestream.mp4: Code: NetStream.Record.NoAccess Level: status Details:         -
2013-06-11 12:07:35        13863   (s)2641173      MP4 recording status for livestream.mp4: Code: NetStream.Record.Stop Level: status Details:     -
In the filesystem I can confirm that the last change of the file is on this moment (in this case 12:07). The live stream continues without problems.
I have reproduced this several times. Though I can understand that caches can fill up and this can cause trouble I feel like this situation is a bug in FMS. The cache fills up with overhead, which is apparently reserved untill writing the file ends.
I hope someone here can help out. Has anyone seen a situation like this and is there any remedy for it? Or even a workaround where this overhead in the cache can be released so the cache does not fill up?
We use FMS version 4.5.1.

You can use an XML socket, but the FMS application will need to initiate the connection, as FMS has no support for listening for anything other than RTMP and HTTP requests.
Stream switching can happen on the FMS side. In your FMS application, you'll create a server side stream, and use the Stream.play method for playing other sources (live streams or recorded flv/h.264 files) over that stream. Your subscribers will connect to the server side stream
See the FMS docs for the Stream class and the XMLSocket class.

Live Streaming Using my Webcam As a secruity camera

I'm lost here someone please help, : \ im trying to use my isight as a security camera over the internet so i can watch my dog i just got her.
So the question is what software out there i can use to put my webcam as a camera ( again my powerbook is kinda old im still running on panther so i have 10.3.9 not 10.4 can i work anyway around this) where i can watch live.
Can someone help me i know i need my ip address i have that but when i hook everythign else up where do i go when im somewhere else when i want to look at my live streaming from work to my house? please can someone help me thank you if you can. : )

Hello, keith28
Until we hear back from juanorfrankie, here is my suggestion for your question:
I would like to access the isight using my iPhone.
Can anyone make some suggestions?
If iPhone will can support viewing a streaming webcam page, use EvoCam with your iSight to publish a webcam with streaming video. That would probably be the simplest way to do what you want, but, because I do not have iPhone, so I cannot test this.
See the instructions and FAQs at EvoCam for system requirements and details on how to set up your webcam page.

Feasibility of Live Streaming using FMSS 3.5

Is Live Streaming Feasible using FMSS 3.5 on a web portal which is developed using J2EE?

Yes very much - there is no correlation between technology one uses developement for web portal and FMS - its just simple thing that you relevant we pages should embed necessary swf client which will take responsibility of communicating with FMS

Inserting Metadata events in a live stream using non-flash client app

Hi all,
I wish to insert captions into a live flash video stream.
I found an example here : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/metadata_video_streaming_print.html
but this example uses a Flash client app wich can invoke something like
video_nc.call("sendDataEvent",null,inputfield_txt.text);
How can do this without any Flash client/environment ? (I of course still use an FMS 3.5)
I would like to use a python (or php...whatever) piece of code to extract caption from VBI in the incoming video stream and insert it in the flash stream.
Any help / experience appreciated.
Regards
Michel

Well, I'll ask it a different way :
Is there any documentation on the protocol used between Flash client and FMSI so that I can "fake" the flash client using php ?
Is there a way to call sendDataEvent function on the FMSI NOT using a Flash client ?
Thanks

Live streaming using PPLive SOPcast etc. to watch TV online

I have subsrcibed to a football online webserver, hence I can watch live games not on tv etc. However, Panther only seems to want to run the bad quality streams. I want to use PPLive or SOPcast streams but Safari won't even attempt to open them (think the file type or web link is of .mms type). Any ideas? I have only been successful using windows media player (for mac naturally) to view anything. What exactly are these programs PPLive, SOPCast etc. Do they run as a part of a media player or are they seperate programs. Any help would be appreciated. To make it clear, you go to the different stream portals, open one, and safari opens up media player to try and play it. Should Quicktime be able to support this?
Cheers,
Cowan

Yes you can have a UK itms account if you have a UK credit card and address.
No it doesn't matter where you buy the tv from, although you will need to change the plug if you buy it in the UK.

Live stream in different resolutions

hello,
I have an urgent question for the following purpose. We plan
to develope a
solution consisting of a sender software for streaming live
video to the streaming server. Now more than one client should be
able to connect to the stream of the server. Because the different
clients are connected with different bandwidth rates the server
should be able to convert the video stream (e.g. the video width
and height, framerate and quality) on the fly. Maybe a client with
a better connection than DSL should get the video in a resolution
of 640x480, a DSL client should get the video in 352x288 and a
client with ISDN in 176x144.
Is there a possibility to do this with the FMS server on the
server with server-side ActionScript? Or can I limit the requested
stream size on the client side? Or anything I can do?
I hope anybody can answer my question quickly, its really
really urgent.
Thanks in advance

Hi fmslove,
Is there a more elegant way to do this so far?

Timecode/TimeStamp in RTMP live streaming using Adobe Media Server and FMLE

HI There,
Am trying to stream a video on to Adobe media server(using RTMP) through FMLE and play it on my web site using JWPlayer. i could stream the video successfully, but know i want to get the timestamp/timecode on the stream. does Adobe media server and FMLE support this kind of use-case ? if not is there any other way to achieve the same. any comments/suggestion/pointers appreciated .
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Deepak

If you're talking about nonstop, continuous streaming, your subscribing client will need to close and reconnect the stream every couple of days, as the server will run out of timestamps for the stream.

Live streaming not working using REOPS

I made live streaming work using Live Encoder and a flash player I created with FlvPlayback component. It works fine. Now I like to try live streaming using REOPS. I created a config xml file using similar settings in src/assets/data/Playerconfig_LiveStreaming.xml:
isLive = true
<streamtype>live</streamtype>
part of my xml file is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<player
    width="640" height="480"
    scaleMode="stretch" isLive="true" autoPlay="true" updateInterval="250"
    hasCaptions="false">
    <mediaElement>
        <mediaElement>
            <id>seeker</id>
            <mimeType>video/x-flv</mimeType>
            <streamType>live</streamType>
            <deliveryType>streaming</deliveryType>
            <media url="rtmp://<myMediaStreamingServerName>:1935/<myapplicationName>/live/livestream" />
        </mediaElement>
    </mediaElement>
</player>
in adobe live encoder, I have setting like this:
URL: rtmp://<myMediaStreamingServerName>:1935/<myapplicationName>/live
stream: livestream
but no matter how hard I tried, it never works for me. I used the same settings for my own player which works fine with live streaming.
Anyone has any ideas on how to make live streaming work with REOPS?
Thanks a lot.

Is the XML a copy/paste? If so you may have a typo in your media url. There
is a space in "liv e". That could be the issue.
hth!
