[SOLVED] Streaming webcam

Hello friends, can you advice me any program that allows me to send to live streaming my webcam or any other camera? Could you also tell me how it works? I tried motion but the video is jerky because motion creates video by a sequence of frames, also there is no audio and the stream can not be transmitted on the web but only in the lan ... thanks

This program does almost the same things of motion (security webcam) ... as i said i don't want to do this, i want to put my videos in online streaming and i want audio to be enabled...it's for a video podcasting of a radio
it can be used over a internet connection, and without motion detection. using motion detection is an option.
searching google for something like 'zoneminder for internet streaming' brings up some useful pages like -
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph … 332_camera
http://www.brianklug.org/2010/01/zoneminder/
also, the February version of pcformat had a nice review of zoneminder.

Streaming Webcam with media server and cs3

Can someone explain how to stream a webcam with media server?
Ive got media server and flash cs3 (actionscript 2.0 in this
case) installed, and I want to create a live webcam stream, but Im
not really sure how to do it. I know it involves NetStream, and
camera somewhere along the line but thats about it. If someone coul
give me an iea of how to o it that owul be much appreciated.
Thanks

Clockwork_Killa,
I don't use it with webcams, but there are some nice examples
in William Sanders book, Actionscript 3.0 Design Patterns. It's the
only book I've found that has any real world examples of working
with media in Flash with fms2.
Hope it helps. Good luck. You're going to need it ;)

How to stream Webcam and Desktop at the same time?

Hey Guy,
I just got a little Problem with FMLE... I want to stream live during a Game, but I dont know how to stream Desktop and Webcam at the same time ^^. The streaming Platform i want to use is twitch.tv.. the most common Gamin Platform I think...
I got an IMac i7.
Pls help me I dont get how all these ProGamer do it -.-
Thanks in advance

You're going to need additional software or hardware. If you're running a Macintosh, try CamTwist. It's free and allows you to create virtual "cameras" from just about anything you can see on your computer. It's a bit clunky getting used to the interfact and how it works, however.
Hardware solutions (like scanline converters and video switchers) can get pretty expensive. So you may want to go with a piece of software that can handle on-the-fly video compositing/switching. There are two applications that come to mind right off the bat -- and lucky for you, both of them can also output to a live streaming server.
Wirecast is a popular choice, although the pricing starts around $500. It's Macintosh/Windows.
A very popular choice among gamers is XSplit (Windows only) and is a subscription-based model (you pay a small fee by the month, quarter, or year). XSplit has some very impressive compression happening under the hood, and was originally designed for gamers who wanted to share their desktop, XBOX, or PS3 adventures... all while also being able to lay over banners, PIP (picture-in-picture) of themselves, or anythhing else they wanted to clutter the screen with.
If you're running on Windows, give XSplit at shot. It can easily handle your desktop (or most anything else) as a "camera" as well as being able to lay your webcam on top of the desktop feed.

Streaming Webcam video help

I have a webcam that I would like to monitor remotely. Does anyone know of any support information for setting this up through Verizon FIOS?
TIA

Thanks for the replies.
I resolved the issue.
First thing I did was to set my computer up with a static address (not sure if this was necessary). Then I configured the PC-cillin firewall to allow the port to come through (this was a Duh! moment). I then configured the Actiontech router to "add" a rule (or whatever it's called, sorry at work atm) and set the rule up to UDP and TCP for the port and set the trigger the same as the incoming (I believe is the option).
Anyway, I got the stream to work..

Streaming Webcam through Flash

Hello, I have a client with a webcam streaming from an IP
address. However, they want to keep the IP address private, so
dipslaying the webcam feed through Flash Player might be a good
option. Can we create a .swf file that will pick up the IP address
webcam feed and play/rebroadcast it? We have Flash 8. Thank
you!

I also have the same question... If the camera() object only
works with cameras attached to a computer running Flash, then is
there a way to make an IP camera look like an attached camera to
Flash?

Does Firefox Mobile on Android allow the user to be able to view a Java streamed Webcam?

I tested the new Evo Shift at the Sprint store and brought up a webcam from the dog daycare center that would not appear on the phone. I was told that you couldn't do this on Android, I wanted to know if viewing the webcam is possible with Firefox Mobile?

Sorry, Firefox for Android is not be able to display pages that require the Java browser plug-in.

[SOLVED] streaming videos directly to mplayer?

basically what i want to do is watching online videos from the shell via mplayer and elinks w/o downloading them, but not to be limited to youtube, so youtube-viewer is not an option. problem is that mplayer doesn't seem to do the job. some claim you only have to pass an url as an arg for it and that's it.

but that's not it, alas. i passed in different cache sizes as well, but that didn't help either. the funny thing is that youtube-viewer uses mplayer as well and worked perfectly out of the box. i looked at the script and mostly additional args are there as extras.

return $smplayer; # Windows MPlayer
else {
my $mplayer_path = '/usr/bin/mplayer';
return -x $mplayer_path ? $mplayer_path : q{mplayer} # *NIX MPlayer
anyone had this issue before? i really could use some ideas. thanks in advance

Streaming webcam using Flash

I have my website running on godaddy. It's not a business.
It's more of a personal website. I have Adobe flash CS3. I'm
running an HTML streaming cam in my website, but I would like to
convert it to an embedded flash player widget like justin.TV or
stickam. I have played around with some actionscripts and got it
work locally, but does not work when I go to my website at work. Is
there any docs, books or help in getting this to work? I know of
FMS, but I'm not running my site locally and it's not professional.
Do I still need this?
Thanks

[SOLVED] streaming for VLC

There is a NAS (running Arch) and a workstation (also running Linux - not Arch). The WS accesses NAS via WiFi. Currently NAS shares resources with Samba. File transfer (with cp or, say, worker file manager) works fine (6-8 MByte/sec, and up to 10-12 MByte/sec with iperf). But when VLC (or Kaffeine) plays HD video (opened from cifs mount point), a speed is just up to 2-3 MByte/sec resulting in broken playing back. Probably the way video engines explore a filesystem is not in harmony with cifs
So, the question. Can anybody point me to another - not filesystem based - way of multimedia content steaming suitable to be consumed by VLC? NAS resources are limited by hardware: Arch is running on USB stick (and RAID1 for data), 2GB RAM, Celeron E320.
Last edited by student975 (2011-06-30 01:02:23)

OK, I have tried minidlna and mediatomb, but also have got stumbling playing back (for HD video). Can not understand why TCP/IP directly (iperf) and file transfer (cifs mount point) do work excellent, while video playing back (both with cifs and streaming) via the same WiFi connection doesn't
Any suggestions?

Live stream webcam to iOS Devices

I want to have a flash application take the live Audio/Video stream send it to the server (FMS 4.5) and iOS devices play the stream.
From reading through a lot of forum posts, it looks like I can use AS3 to encode the video into H264 which is iOS supported, but I dont't see any encoding I can do on the microphone for iOS devices.
Is there anyway around getting live audio streamed to iOS devices?
If not, are there any plans to support an enocding to iOS devices?

For HLS streaming, only aac/heaac are supported audio codec. Though FMS do not disallow packaging mp3, but its mostly depnds upon ios devices to play back them.. We don't recommend mp3 as codec for ios playback.
Thanks

10.7.3 Does not solve streaming videos via Wiki/Blog/Podcasts

I have been testing deploying to IOS devices videos embedded and attached to a Wiki or Blog page.
In the past this worked but with 10.7.3 Server upgrade NO Audio/Video can be played on an IOS devices.
I have tested this on 3 implementations and none of them work.
Delivery is fine on desktops and laptops but NOT on IOS devices.
Is anyone else having these issues as it seems pretty major for those schools with a 1-2-1 deployment.
Steve

Hello Chris
I hope you enjoyed your weekend – my mother was really hoping to have played this weekend, lol.
Here is the response from Zynga:
I understand you adobe settings are not allowing you to play the Pioneer Trail.
-- Please clear your Flash Cache. How to clear flash cache: - Go to:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
- Select the "Delete all sites" button. This will clear old information that your computer may be storing
-- You may also need to give Flash Player permission to store information on your computer. Click the Global Storage Settings (second tab) and set it to at least have 100KB of storage (more the better) Also the sections named "Allow Third-Party Flash Content to store data on your computer" and "Store common Flash Components to reduce download times" must have a checkmark on them. If these two are not enabled, Flash Player won't allow the game to download properly. Another way to improve the game loading is to allow the game to store even more data in the computer to verify if this is enabled you can click on the second-to-last tab named "Website Storage Settings Panel", you will have Faster Loading enabled when it is set to "Unlimited".
If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate on contacting us again.
So, after following these instructions and clicking the DELETE ALL SITES BUTTON, I have discovered that a preference is not being stored (screenshot):
This slider does NOT remember where I set it, so it stays at zero. There is no save button so I can only set it, then navigate away, then return. That's when I see the setting is not remembered.
Strangely, it is working now. Again, the only thing that I did different this time was delete all sites, as described above.
