Stream.play(live_from_FMLE, -1, 4500, true) got no NetStream.Play.Start

Hi,
I am stuck on one random issue that I really need your help.
I got a bunch of live stream from FMLE, say: "FMLE_channel1", "FMLE_channel2", "FMLE_channel3". And then on the server side, I created several corresponding republished stream called "channel1", "channel2", "channel3".
On periodical basis, we call Stream.get("channel1").play("FMLE_channel1", -1, 10, true) every 10 seconds. Similar things were done on the second channel & third channel.
Soon after the above Stream.get("channel1").play() call, I should get the following events in sequence:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Success
info :NetStream.Publish.Start
info :NetStream.Play.Reset
info :NetStream.Play.Start
In the above case all are happy. Clients can view channel1, channel2, channel3 well.
But then after a while, one of the three channels, in most case it would be channel1, will not be viewable. With the server trace info, I found that after the Stream.get("channel1").play() call, only the following two events exists:
info :NetStream.Unpublish.Success
info :NetStream.Publish.Start
i.e. I was missing the play.reset and play.start event.
I further checked and confirmed that the FMLE was publishing all three channels fine to the server. I was able to view the "FMLE_channel1" from flash clients, but not the republished "channel1".
Can anyone help to solve the problem please? the version is FMS 3.5.0. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your effort in helping.
1. How do I check the said logs?
2. I will upgrade to 3.5.4 and have a try. Unfortunately I am out of town now and could not do it in the new few days.
3. When you asked about repeatedly calling of Stream.get(), are you implying some kind of memory leaks? Or do you have other implications in your mind? We are handling an array of broadcasting channels. Of course, we could've saved the handles in an array, but we did it the way as it is now for the sake of simplicity.
4. Another clue/observation: say for a F4V clip of 44 seconds (e.g. name it as example.f4v). If I call Stream.get("channel1").play("mp4:sample.f4v", -1, 45, true) at one point, and after 45 seconds, if I do another call of Stream.get("channel1").play("mp4:sample.f4v", -1, 45, true), "channel1" will show no video after the second call. Please note in this example, the video length is actually 44 seconds, but I treat it as if it is 45 seconds.
Your continued help will be highly appreciated!

NetStream with OSMF is firing NetStream.Play.Stopped too early.

Hi,
I've been digging into a bug report where the ends of adverts are clipped by up to three seconds in Android and, after a _lot_ of painful debugging, I have come to the conclusion that the issue is with the underlying NetStream object.
After a bit of jiggery pokery to locate the NetStream on NetStreamLoadTrait, I was able to listen to the changes to NetStream.time and to compare against the TimeTrait values, also to see what events were happening where and when. After placing this code on an Event.ENTER_FRAME handler, I was able to see clearly that there is _ALMOST_ALWAYS_ a huge jump in the last two frames... This equates to clipping off the last few seconds of the video as the jump tends to occur a couple of seconds prior to the end. Having placed break-points in OSMF code, it appears that the end is "correct" in that it is always in response to a NetStream.Play.Stopped... just that the NetStream.Play.Stopped is firing at the wrong time.
Does anyone have _any_ idea what could be causing this? Is it likely to be with the media being supplied (third-party advertsing video...) or the plugin itself?
Thanks,
G

Help on stuttering video after FMS call Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -1, -1, true)

Hi,
We recently encountered a very strange issue that we urgently need help:
With FMS 3.5, we created a new live application according to relevant documentations. Within this application (main.asc), on periodically basis (e.g. 45 seconds), we use Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -1, -1, true) to (potentially) switch between different live feeds published by different FMLE. All work like charm except one annoying/important issue: sometimes (but not always), after a server-side call of Stream.play, we see severe stuttering/choppy video from flash client player.
Any help that will lead to the resolution of the problem will be greatly appreciated!
Some background information:
1. All testing were done within LAN environment with just a few machines which mean loads were very low; so we can rule out bandwidth insufficiency issue. Also CPU usages were low across all computers involved.
2. The stuttering and choppyness occurs with the 'liveBroadcastStream', not with the source stream which is 'liveFeedFromFMLE'. In other words, we used flash player to check out the source stream, and it looked fine.
3. When the video was jerky, the accompanying audio sounded OK.
4. We tried to set the flash client buffer length to be 15 seconds, and it did not help.
5. The stuttering occurs immediately after the Stream.play function call.
6. The described sympton occurs quite often, but not always. We were not able to identify the exact cause. It does not seem to show any easy clue.
7. In the repro case, we called Stream.get('liveBroadcastStream').play('liveFeedFromFMLE', -1, -1, true) every 45 seconds with no parameter changes.
Again, we are urgently waiting for professional help!
Regards.
Xiaohai

Thanks for your info. We are desparate for any help that we can get. We will do as you said, but it is a semi-production scenario and we are not allowed to set up debugging scenarios often.
We have spent tremendous amount of time trying to flush out the issue with no luck. What really frustrated us is that our application scenario is really simple, and yet it won't work as expected. We have downgraded to FMS 3.0.1 and it performs a bit better than 3.5. We have issue with 3.0.1 too. The stuttering video is still there, but player recovers eventually. That is the best we can get so far. As we investigate more, we become more convinced that FMS's stability is not up to production quality (sorry).
I simplified our application to the following and it is still problematic (pseudo codes):
Prerequisite: stream 'liveStream1' and 'liveStream2' published from to FMLE
FMS server side codes (pseudo codes):
function onPeriodicalCall ()
        if (application.currentStream == 'liveStream1')
             applicatin.currentStream = 'liveStream2')
        else
          application.currentStream = 'liveStream1'
        Stream.get('liveBroadCast').play(application.currentStream, -1, -1, true);
application.onStart = function () {
     setInterval (120, onPeriodicalCall);
With the above codes, the players shows stuttering video with each .play call. And sometimes, clients even could not play anything. When client can not play anything, we found it correlates to netstream not getting into data start mode (e.g. normally unpublish, stop, publish, start, but sometimes it only gives unpublish stop publish, thus lacking 'start').

HT1688 My iPhone 4s battery got drained while playing games, and now it won't open even if im charging. what can i do?.

My phone's battery got drained while playing games and now it wont open if i connect it to my charger,?.what can i do? my phone was given to me as a gift from the a relative in the US and im from the Philippines. How can i fix it? Do i need to bring it to any apple center to have it replaced? or is there a quick fix to this problem?...

Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

Ipad mini got strucked when playing movie

I am having ipad mini and when I was playing movie on that it got hanged and I tried of reseting but it was not happing so what to do now???

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Is that what you did when you said you tried to restart?
You might also try quitting the app you are using to play the movie. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

NetStream.Play.Stop and Complete fired early on RTMPE streams

Hi there
I am experiencing an issue with playback on RTMPE streams. after investigation it seems that the FMS server is firing the NetStream.Play.Complete message at random points, indicating that a stream has ended. This is happening and random points during the stream, not even close to the end.
The order of Status messages is as follows:
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:15:17 PM :: NetStream.Play.Start : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:40 PM :: NetStream.Play.Stop : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:40 PM :: NetStream.Buffer.Flush : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:58 PM :: NetStream.Buffer.Empty : status
Thu Oct 20 2011 04:32:58 PM :: onPlayStatus : NetStream.Play.Complete
As you can see roughly 17mins into playback...although the stream is 1 hour 24mins long
I have tested this numerous times, and each time it is at a different point in the stream.
Intermittently the NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW warning is being fired prior to NetStream.Play.Stop.
I am using a player built on OSMF 1.5.
Just need to know why these messages would be fired and how to handle them
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the information. Did you check with flvcheck tool to see if the file is a valid FMS file ? If not, can you do that please ?

NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW when streaming server side playlist

Hi
I am streaming pre recorded audio files (mp4) to an AIR client. I have tried two different solutions,
streaming the file directly with the NetStream.play("mp4:xxxxx.m4a") and creating a server side playlist, adding the
same sound clip and then streaming the playlist. The problem is, when streaming the playlist i get a few NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW, this does not happen when streaming the file direct. Both solutions uses bufferTime=1.0
I would like to use a server side playlist to implement a simple key solution so that the client dont know the full path to
the file, but instead sends a key to a custom server side function that looks up the file path and creates a stream for the client.
TIA
Ruben Chadien
FMS 4.0(linux)

Subscribing via playlist and playing file directly are two different things , as first one is live mode of play while other is playing recorded file - so the way streams are delivered are also quite different. Can you try setting higher buffer and see if that helps or if you don't want to set higher buffer, see if disabling AggregateMessages (you will find the tag in Application.xml under Live/Queue) helps

How to know the status of stream played using NetStream.Play method ?

I am playing stream data published by third party server
similar to FCS by creating NetStream object and calling Play method
on it. Now the problem is, sometimes I am not able to view the
published stream by playing it using Play method. Also it does not
call OnStatus method of NetSteam. How can I know the status(or
result) of Play method ?
Note: NetConnection gets created successfully. I get status
of NetStream.Play.Start / Stop when I put local flv as a first
parameter to Play method

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

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.

Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got to a place I don't know how to get out of. Not very computer savvy

To begin, quit Lightroom
On Windows do the following
Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
%appdata%\adobe\lightroom
Then press the Return\Enter key
That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.

Since downloading 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod.

Since downloading Itunes 11.0.1 (12), Itunes can't locate or play many songs but the same songs still play on my synched iPod. I have a MacBook Air, Lion OS, Itunes version 11.0.1 (12). I didn't see this problem with older versions of Itunes. I do not manually change the organization of the Itunes library. I use the Itunes "add to library" feature or Amazon's MP3 downloader. Sometimes, however, I have changed song information in the "info" window. Such as unchecking the "compilation" button and sorting by artist (for that song), so that I can search by artist in the top pane of Itunes (otherwise the song is sorted in an album that is a "compilation," but not under the name of the artist who sang a particular song. I've done this without problem in the past, but perhaps the newer version of Itunes can't handle the changes I made and has lost track of where the older version of Itunes stored such songs? How do I fix all these older previously ok changes if that's the case... If I could just find where they are stored in Itunes it would be easier perhaps. I've looked in compilations, unknown artist, and so forth to no avail. And Finder search can't find them.
Details: suddenly, many songs are marked with "!," denoting that Itunes cannot find the songs in the library and cannot play them. Oddly, my iPod CAN play the "unlocatable" songs with no problem (it has been synched "post problem"). So the songs are still there somewhere in the Itunes library. This problem occurs by album, that is, all songs from the same album become unlocatable, although different albums by the same artist may still be found and played.
Exploring the Itunes library to try to locate the missing albums/songs, I discovered that generally there is no longer any folder specified for any artist associated with a missing album [artist is the top level of organization and album is the second; compilations are in the same folder]. This is true even if I have other albums from the same artist which Itunes IS able to locate. I cannot find a single song/album by such artists anywhere in the Itunes file system, even the ones that Itunes can still play. If I right click and "get info" for an unlocatable song, I get a notification box that asks if I want to locate the file. If I click "no," next thing-- the info window for the song pops up, with all the correct info (including sort info, which I double check)! Why is Itunes able to locate all the info on the song, but is not able to play the MP3 file?
Using Finder I cannot locate the songs that are unlocatable by Itunes (except the original download files in the Amazon MP3 folder). Finder is, of course, able to find Itunes songs that Itunes has no trouble locating. What's up?! My iPod can find them just fine. I just synched my iPod again and am playing the "unlocatable" songs right now.
I can "fix" most of these files by downloading files one by one into Itunes from my Amazon download folder or from my CDs using the "add to library" feature. In fact, it is strange. But this will take a very long time! And what if this problem continues recurring? But something strange happens when I implement this fix. I added one song to Itunes (from the Amazon MP3 folder, using "add to library") for one "unlocatable" album of Pete Seegers. After adding that one song, I looked at the Itunes music library and discovered that a folder for Pete Seeger (which was not there before I added the song) had been newly created, or restored. In this folder was the one song I had just added, but ALSO all my other Seeger albums that had previously remained "locatable" by Itunes. But the other "unlocatable" songs were not restored, unfortunately.

I have found a workaround. When I create a new playlist, iTunes allows me to add or remove songs from existing playlists for a short while. Then, for some reason it prevents me from adding and deleting songs again. Not sure why. Go figure.
