Problems with Akamai Streams

Hi !
I am new to OSMF and i love it. However, i can not get the Akamai streams to work properly.
If i understood it correctly, OSMF should play the Akamai streams even without any plugins ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/2636240#2636240 )
My player plays "normal" streams and progressive downloads just fine, but if i try an Akamai stream, i am first getting the MediaStateChangeEvent with "ready" and then a MediaStateChangeEvent with "playbackError". After that i am getting a MediaError with errorcode 16 (Stream not found)
I am trying to connect just like i do for all other streams:
var resource:URLResource = new URLResource(streamURL);
var mediaElement:MediaElement = _mediaFactory.createMediaElement(resource);
_mediaContainer.addMediaElement(mediaElement);
_mediaPlayer.media = mediaElement;
As i said, it works fine with normal streams (so my player works) and the same Akamai streams are playing fine in other players (for example, the Akamai test player) so the stream URLs are also fine.
please help
One more question regarding the plugins - if i would need to play secure Akamai streams, then i still would need the plugin, right ? And for dynamic streaming i still need the SMIL plugin ?
Thank you !

Hi !
Thanks for the response
Well, meanwhile i finally figured it out with the plugin loading and got most of stream types to play.
The only type of streams i can not get to work properly are vod streams that have a .flv or .mp4 extension. All other vod streams (if the URL have no extensions at all) seem to play fine though.
My player connects to the stream, then im getting
onMediaPlayerStateChange: ready
onMediaLoadStateChange: Media loaded.
and then
onMediaPlayerStateChange: playbackError
Is the mediaElement built based on the type of URL somehow ? My guess is that the player is trying to play it as progressive download somehow because of the ".flv" ?
The strange thing though is that it still plays fine in the Akamai test player http://support.akamai.com/flash/
If you select the "on demand" streams in the top right dropdown, they also have the extension "flv" and "mp4". My stream plays there fine as well.
Looks like there is something i am still missing Any ideas ?
Thank you for your time !

What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
Please Help
Thank you

Hello!
I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.

Problem with elementary streams when trying to export

I just purchased the MPEG2 plugin from the apple store because it said:
"The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved together into one track) and non-multiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams. It is perfectly suited for professional and semi-professional content creators with projects such as:"
My movie is already encoded to m2v with a separate audio file. I wish to export to mpeg4 for internet distribution.
Now when I open the player, It does not give me the option of opening both audio and video components of my project.
How do I get the program to let me add both parts of the project to the player in preperation for export?

As you have discovered QT and that mpeg2 component have a number of llimitations when working with audio and video mpeg streamsl: QT Mpeg Limitations
Try using this freeware to deal with mpeg streams: Mpeg StreamClip. Since you already have the playback component the freeware should allow you to export to other formats like mp4 with both sound and video in the export.

Problem with Photo Streaming

Hi all,
I have an apple tv 3rd, and I just upgraded to version 6, the fact is that I will photo streaming and I get the page of the license acceptance, I give all the time to "accept" and I do not do anything stays at that screen all the time. I've rebooted several times but does the same, the license screen does not disappear.
Anyone know what might be happening with the previous version did not have that problem, I could see the pictures of the iphone without any problem.
Thanks

I can´t accept iCloud contract, from apple tv 6.0

Problem with Radio Streaming with SHOUTcast

Hi overyone, I don't speak english, but I hope you understand
I have an audio player, which connects to a SHOUTcast server.
Everything works fine, the player connects, and begins to download the audio, and plays, but after 1 or 2 minutes, loading the audio is cut, and no longer continuing.
I leave my code a bit ..
private var _urlStream:String = 'http://69.162.119.226:8022/;stream.nsa';
//==========================
private var _soundStream:Sound;
private var _soundChannel:SoundChannel;
private var _soundTransform:SoundTransform;
//==========================
private function initHandler():void
     _soundChannel = new SoundChannel();
      _soundTransform = new SoundTransform();
private function playSoundStream(value:MouseEvent=null):void
     _soundStream = new Sound();
     addSoundListeners(); // I add the listeners of the Sound class
     var _stream:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_urlStream);
     _soundStream.load(_stream);
private function stopSoundStream(value:MouseEvent):void
     playButton.enabled = true;
     removeSoundListeners();
     _soundChannel.stop();
     _soundChannel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundCompleteHandler);
     _soundStream.close();
/**=======================================================

private function openHandler(value:Event):void
     _soundChannel = _soundStream.play();
private function progressHandler(value:ProgressEvent):void
     var bytes:Number = _soundStream.bytesLoaded;
     var kilobytes:Number = Math.floor(bytes / 1024);
     trace('[BL] ' +Math.floor(kilobytes/1024) + ' MB     [SM] '+Math.floor((System.totalMemory/1024))+' KB');

That is a firmware issue - please update your phone with the nokia software updater and see if it fixes the problem.

Problem with the streams....

Dear All,
I am trying to zip a file in the client side and sending it to the server side machine......there, i am trying to unzip it and writting it over there...for this, i am using a seperate program in the client side and in the server side.................................
In the client program, after opening all the necessary streams and all formalities, i am using the code...
"InputStream in = urlconnection.getInputStream();
while (in.read()!=-1);"
only if i use the above code, the zipped file is transfered to my server machine...but in this case, the link with the server is not getting disconnected...i mean the command prompt remains alive, without stopping...what i inferred is, my control is got into the above said "InputStream in = urlconnection.getInputStream();"...indefinitely...
so i tried of removing the above said statement.....in this case, the zipped file is NOT getting written in my server machine....
what to do???
any suggestions please...waiting for the reply very anxiously, refreshing this site for every 2 minutes....
sakthivel s.
snippet code for ur reference...
Client side
try
ZipOutputStream zipoutputstream = new ZipOutputStream(urlconnection.getOutputStream());
ZipEntry zipentry = new ZipEntry(filename);
zipentry.setMethod(ZipEntry.DEFLATED);
zipoutputstream.putNextEntry(zipentry);
byte bytearray[] = new byte[1024];
File file = new File(filenamedir);
FileInputStream fileinputstream = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream bufferedinputstream = new BufferedInputStream(fileinputstream);
int length = 0;
while((length=bufferedinputstream.read(bytearray)) != -1)
zipoutputstream.write(bytearray,0,length);
fileinputstream.close();
bufferedinputstream.close();
zipoutputstream.flush();
zipoutputstream.finish();
zipoutputstream.closeEntry();
zipoutputstream.close();
InputStream in = urlconnection.getInputStream();
while (in.read()!=-1); // the said while loop....................
System.runFinalization();
urlconnection.getInputStream().close();
urlconnection.disconnect();
the way of connecting witht the server : (just a snippet of the code)
URL serverURL = new URL("http://192.168.10.55:8001/servlet/uploadservlet");
HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true);
urlconnection= (HttpURLConnection)serverURL.openConnection();
urlconnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlconnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlconnection.setDoOutput(true);
urlconnection.setDoInput(true);
urlconnection.setUseCaches(false);
urlconnection.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
urlconnection.setRequestProperty("Cookie",cookie);
urlconnection.connect();
Server Side:
javax.servlet.ServletInputStream servletinputstream = httpservletrequest.getInputStream();
ZipInputStream zipinputstream = new ZipInputStream(servletinputstream);
ZipEntry zipentry = null;
String directory="c:\\test"; // the unzipped file should be written to this directory...
try
File file = new File(directory);
if(!file.exists())
file.mkdirs();
catch(Exception exp)
{System.out.println("I am from Server: " + exp);}
try
zipentry = zipinputstream.getNextEntry();
if(zipentry != null)
int slash = zipentry.getName().lastIndexOf(File.separator) + 1;
String filename = zipentry.getName().substring(slash);
File file1 = new File(directory + File.separator + filename);
FileOutputStream fostream = new FileOutputStream(file1);
BufferedOutputStream bufferedoutputstream = new BufferedOutputStream(fostream);
byte abyte0[] = new byte[1024];
for(int index = 0; (index = zipinputstream.read(abyte0)) > 0;)
bufferedoutputstream.write(abyte0, 0, index);
servletinputstream.close();
bufferedoutputstream.flush();
bufferedoutputstream.close();
zipinputstream.closeEntry();
zipinputstream.close();
fostream.flush();
fostream.close();
catch(IOException ioexception)
{System.out.println("IOException occured in the Server: " + ioexception);ioexception.printStackTrace();}
P.S: I am not getting any error in the server side or cleint side...the only problem is, the command prompt(where i am running my cleint program) is getting standing indefinitely...i have to use control-c to come to the command prompt again...this is because of the while looop said in the client machine....if i remove it...the file is not gettting transfered...what to do????

Some thoughts:
1) please quote your code so it's readable (see http://forum.java.sun.com/faq.jsp#messageformat ).
2) why are you calling "System.runFinalization();"?
3) Offhand I don't see where the read would ever stop. It's waiting for an end of input from the server, but the server doesn't even begin to write output to it. What happens when you connect to your server with a browser or some other client?
4) is it really wise to read and write one byte at a time?

Problem with QuickTime streaming

Hi there
I got an IPad 2 3G , but I have a huge problem. I have a website, which contains some quicktime stream video. but IPad cannot play them at all. Movies have a black screen, in the middle there is QuickTime logo.
Can you help me, how to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Did you repair permissions & restart your computer after installation? If so, then go into your browser's Preferences & map either VLC or Perian as the browser's web plug-in.
I would also go into QT Preferences & check its streaming preferences.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
==============
To make VLC your default .avi player:
Highlight an .avi file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select VLC.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

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.

MSNBC problem with video streaming

Hi, can anyone help me with this problem : I have a DELL netbook (specs below) that works just fine. However, in order to get reasonable video quality a recent driver from Intel had to be installed. That done, most video playback and video streaming are reasonable given the cpu power of the atom processor inherent to all netbooks.
However, the MSNBC site, one of my favorites for news sports and entertainement, is really uneven in quality and sometimes unwatchable using the flashplayer 10 plugin (I use IE 6, for now). To the contrary, MSNBC also offers webcasts that open using WMP and not flashplayer and the quality is fine ! I have checked that it is neither my internet connection nor my antivirus software behind the problem.
In short, I get choppy video from the MSNBC site, with some audio delay, and I cant tell whether it's a problem from their site or the flashplayer itself.
Thanks for any suggestions
Mini 1010/Intel Atom z530/1GB Ram/Intel GMA 500/1366x768 scr./160GB drive/WXP

thanks for the answer,
but if you try with vlc this address
rtmp: //188.40.83.89:1935/vod2/mencalez1a.mp4
you will see that this streaming outside Captivate works fine.
Why it does not start in Captivate?
Any idea?
Thanks!

Problems with HLS streaming when HDS works

I have followed several tutorials and done several tests on our live stream but although multibitrate streams work for HDS delivery in and outside our firewall having no luck delivering HLS delivery to IOS devices (iPhone 5S) neither inside or outside our organisation. I have set all the following :
H.264, AAC audio at 44.1KHz Stereo 128kbit
Profile: Main Level:3.1 Keyframe Frequency: 4 seconds
3 bitrates :
150kbps at 320x240
500 at 320x240
700 at 320x240
encoding to our server rtmp:[server ip]/livepkgr
stream : livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent
I have set the synchronisation parameter in FMLE to true
On the AMS server I have created two manifest files for the for f4m and m3u8 with the 3 streams as shown in several online documents using the built in tool in AMS 5.
All port settings are the standard ones set on installation. I have also created a crossdomain.xml file again as explained in a online post with it set to all domains (yes I know it's not secure but I just want this thing to work!!)
Has anyone got any idea where I'm going wrong or is it just a problem associated with our firewall (which I don't control!!)? The firewall/webfilter is by Watchguard does anyone know if there is an issue with this or how to set the ports up if they are wrong?

I'm having the opposite problem when I came across your thread. Follow the steps in the article below and see if any of the steps help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12efac195bd -8000.html
1. Have you configured the ports? Specifically:
Configure Apache to use port 80 and configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80
Configure Apache to use port 80.
Open rootinstall/Apache2.2/conf in a text editor.
Change the line Listen 8134 to Listen 80.
Restart Apache. See Start and stop the server.
Configure Flash Media Server not to use port 80.
Open rootinstall/conf/fms.ini in a text editor.
Remove 80 from the ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT parameter so the parameter looks like the following:ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935
Restart Flash Media Server. See Start and stop the server.
2. Have you verified that HLS streaming is working? Go to the videoplayer.html (in the samples folder) and try playing some HLS files or try opening the m3u8 set manifest file from localhost on an iPad.
I would also try to get a single stream working first before you attempt to get the multi-bitrate live streaming working: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html
Hopefully someone with more experience can help. Good luck.

Problem with getting streaming videos to switch between each other

i have attached an fla file which illustrates the problem i'm having. it is basically as you see ... i want to load and play an embedded movie on frame 1 and then move the play head to frame 2 or 3 etc etc where there is a new menu and replace movie 1 with movie 2 at the press of a button.
any chance someone could have a look at it for me and get it working the way i want and post it back to me ? ...
i'm a newbee to flash and i've spent 2 days now pulling my hair out trying to get it to work ...
thanks,
http://www.simonedwards.org/downloads/mov.fla

it's possible someone will download and correct your file but you're more likely to get help if no download is needed to help you meaning you would need to explain more carefully what's on the different frames of your main timeline (eg, an flvplayback component the plays your video).

Problem with music streaming

I have experienced that the music sometimes stops for a sec or. two, when streaming music from the iPad. A friend have also experienced that. But when you stream music from the same app from the iPhone, then there is no problem.
Is it a software malfunction on the iPad ? I want to use the iPad, so please releas a solution to the problem...
