Streaming Audio and Video to N900

Hi Guys,
Not sure if anyone else has tried this or not, but I was playing around with Windows Media Player on the PC and setup up the Media Sharing which alows you to share audio and video with other devices. Surprising enough I got it working with the N900 first time.
Setup up some items in the WMP library, turned on sharing. Connected the N900 to my wireless router, loaded up the File Manager and up poped the Shared Media icon. Clicking on that showed my PC and then all the folder structure, opened the video folder and just tried my luck clicking on one of the videos.
It was a divx file and the N900 media player buffered for a few seconds and played it back perfectly. I didn't even have to download an extra codec or anything, it just streamed the video perfectly.
Anyone else had a go?
Paul.

I have some issues with this feature. I can play all the media, however, I can only hear sound for a few secondsbut no images; then freezes.

Does anyone has the same problem or a fix?

Operating Windows 7 Home Premium, 2 user accounts. Running Firefox one user can stream audio and video, the other cannot. Can anyone help?

Two accounts set up. One can stream audio and video using Firefox, the other account cannot. The account with cannot stream a/v is able to steam a/v using (gasp) MS Internet Explorer. Is there some setting I have screwed up?

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

Streaming audio and video frequently freezes or becomes garbled.

Streaming audio and video frequently freezes or becomes garbled on my Macbook. I do not have this problem with non streaming media such as iTunes or downloaded video. The problem started six or eight months ago and has gradually become worse. I don't know what to start checking.

Problems with Camino and Safari browers on sites streaming audio and video.

The Camino browser (latest update) will not allow me to type anything if I am listening to a site with streaming audio or video. As soon as I start typing, I get white patches all over the place. The only solution was to use Safari for listening and do the typing on Camino. Now, Safari freezes on every single site that has any streaming. The Safari version is 3.03, and it was working fine a few days ago. Any ideas?

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a .flv file. If it downloads the file as it should then move the .plist file to the Trash, otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, back to the Finder window, Home folder, Library / Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Restart Safari. Try again.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension causing a conflict. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari, try again.

Capture and streaming audio and video

JavaFX supports capture and record audio and video and need some streaming server as woonza, red5, flash media server to play the streaming?

JavaFX does not support flash streaming.
JavaFX does support http live streaming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming
JavaFX does not support audio/video capture (there are other java/native libraries that do that).
See:
Video camera capture/streaming: example implementation "Thread: Video camera capture/streaming: example implementation"
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-3458 "Camera and Microphone" (go vote for this jira to get some capture technology built into JavaFX).

Configuring WebLogic 8.1 to serve Streaming Audio and Video

Hello,
I have a requirement to serve video and audio on my application. Could anyone
please give me the details about how to configure webLogic8.1 for streaming audio/video.
Where should the files be placed? How to go about it...etc...etc.
It would also be very helpful if anyone could direct me to websites or other
resources that can provide extensive details about the same.

it's not a feature unless someone adds it...
You mean Apple will never accepts such feature in the App Store ?
I'm wondering why they want to apply a restriction like this one, this really does not make sense to me...
I've seen in a shop a device with 32gb internal flash to connect to the iphone ipad and use it like an hd for storing stuff, if they allow such thing why they don't allow this one, there is no difference in the end, also they allow streaming thru wi-fi, and they allow media players to store and read audio and video without using itunes. So i really don't get the point of their policy.

Does my Server need audio installed for streaming audio and video

I have flash media streaming server installed onto my s
erver and wondered whether i actually need a sound card on my server to enable audio to be streamed. I was told i
did not??? so how would audio be streamed if no sound card/???

Flash Media Interactive/Streaming/Development Server only stores and serves files hence it doesn't need any audio/video devices installed. The Flash Player or FMLE does need access to local media resource in order to incroporate audio/video data.

Streaming Audio and Video

Hi,
Can anyone give me a link where i can see a tutorial for
making streaming a
video (flv) and an audio file (mp3).
Waiting to your answer..
Thanks

Does anyone success?
I am now doing my undergraduate final year project for Java Phone.
One of the job I have to do is:
- Enabling the java phone to play the real-time video stream.
I have to do streaming using J2ME.
I have read and try the MMAPI, but it seems that it is not supported the real time streaming for video.
I don't know whether it is right or wrong.
So, how can I achieve this goal? If the MMAPI is really not support Real time streaming for video.
Is it possible to write a decoder using J2ME? Does it work?
Is there any other methods to do this?
Thank you very much!
Michael

How to achieve streaming audio and video with SBS 2003

Basic Fact: SBS 2003 is frozen at SP1. I am connecting to Verizon DSL--now Frontier DSL-- using their DSL modem, which is a Linksys 7550 modem. The gateway on the modem card is 192.168.254.254. Communication to and from the internet
works, but there is apparently a lot of noise on the line and SBS2003 responds by disconnecting the WAN line. I have to get to the Network Connections page, select the WAN connector, right-click it and tell it to repair itself (an image that is definitely
R-rated). Where can tell the system to not disable the WAN line if it detect some noise? This process of repairing the line is inconnevient when I am in the room with the SBS box, and impossible if I am trying to stream video to the set in the
living-room.

Hi Hollis:
It is not clear why the server is in play here. If you have a "better than average" firewall at the edge you can use SBS in a single NIC config and from your living room go straight to the internet through the firewall and the ISP device
without impacting the SBS other than for DNS.
And if you don't care about who accesses your internal network from the internet a "better than average" firewall would not be required.
Larry Struckmeyer[MVP] If your question is answered please mark the response as the answer so that others can benefit.
Larry,
Thanks for the reply. What you are really saying is that SBS server is so complicated and. because so little is documented about its guts and internal workings, that it is better to treat it as a black box and use an external solution. That is a sad commentary
on a really good product, even if I am frozen at 2003 SP1. There really has to be somewhere that the wan line is set to be disabled on the lowest level of noise. There should be a means of boosting that trigger level. If we just knew where it is done.
Given that that we really are dealing with a black box here, can you give me the names of a few firewalls qualifying as "better than average". I do recognizing that I am living at that queasy stage where any major catastrophy with the server will
cause complete abandonment of the server, and all the conveniences it provides. When the motherboard died last time I bit the bullet and replaced it at not too great a cost. So, here we are again--do I convert to just Frontier security offerings and google
apps. Google is notorius for providing no support. Then again, the Microsoft products are so bloated that I use less than 10% of any one. Fortunately, that 10% has really never needed any support. And I have pretty much given up pondering the use of XML due
to a dirth of info from Microsoft about it. Sigh. I think I had better take a dramamine before going farther into the murk here.

I downloaded Firefox 4 yesterday, and everything worked fine. When I booted up my computer today, I have problems. Flickr is all deformatted, streaming audio and video won't work from a variety of sources. All these things worked fine yesterday.

Flickr is deformatted. This forum is deformatted. Can't see the streaming toolbars at my public radio station. Can't stream news shows that I suually watch.
It all works fine with IE. I had to switch to Explorer to access this forum!

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!

Recording and Playing back Streaming Audio and Video

Hi Folks...
I posted this in another forum too. I have this sample code from the e-book: "Learning Flash Media Server 3". The purpose of the code is to create a FLV. The code is not running as it should. When I click on the 'record' button, the label is to change to 'recording', that dosen't seem to happen and also when I click on the 'Stop Record' button, I get the following error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at MinRecord/stopRecord()"
I have my suspicion on a certain section of the code as the possible culprit, but I am not sure how to rectify it, I will post the entire code here so you guys can have a look.

       private function stopRecord (e:Event):void
             recordBtn.label="Record";
             ns.close ();
My deduction is that the 'if' statement in the 'startRecord' function is not resolving to 'true' and hence the label is not changing to 'Recording'. Also I feel that the assingment to the variable 'ns' of type NetStream is not being done and hence in the function 'stopRecord' I get the above mentioned error message when I click on the stop button. How do I rectify these problems?

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the message, I had acutually realised late last evening that changing this:
rtmpNow="rtmp://192.168.0.11/vid2/recordings"
to this:
rtmpNow="rtmp:/vid2"
which is what you have also recomended solves one of the problems which is that of the startRecord function, as my server is running on my own local machine. However when I click on stop record, I am getting the following error:
"Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Publish.BadName
at MinRecord/checkConnect()"
I am trying to figure this one out...if you have any clues, let me know. Thanks.

How to synchronize audio and video rtp-streams

Hi everyone!
I've tried to make one of the processors, processor1, control the other processor, processor2, with processor1.addController(processor2) but I get a
javax.media.IncompatibleTimeBaseException. I need to synchronize audio and video rtp-streams because they are sometimes completely out of sync.
In JMF API Guide I've read:
"2. Determine which Player object's time base is going to be used to drive
the other Player objects and set the time base for the synchronized
Player objects. Not all Player objects can assume a new time base.
For example, if one of the Player objects you want to synchronize has
a *push-data-source*, that Player object's time base must be used to
drive the other Player objects."
I'm using a custom AVReceive3 to receive rtp-streams and then I create processors for the incoming stream's datasource's, and they are ALL PushBufferDataSource's.
Does this mean I can't synchronize these. If so is there any way I can change them into Pull...DataSources ?
How are you supposed to sync audio and video if not with as above ?

You can't change the timebase on an RTP stream because, for all intensive purposes, it's "live" data. It plays at the speed the transmitting RTP server wants it to play, and it never gets behind because it drops out of order and old data packets.
If your RTP streams aren't synced correctly on the receiving end, it means they aren't being synced on the transmitting end...so you should look into the other side of the equation.

When exporting separate audio and video streams, the audio drifts out of sync

So this is my first slightly larger project in Final Cut Pro X.
When I export my finished project (around 12 minutes long) straight to quicktime, it plays back perfectly.
When I export using compressor, the resulting audio and video streams are two different lengths. The audio comes out a full second longer. If you try to lay them down in a program like Adobe Encore, the audio starts out perfectly in sync. Two minutes in you notice the video is slightly out of sync with the audio. By the end of the video it's comically bad, over a second out of sync.
What's even more vexing is if I try to take the quicktime file that IS in sync upon playback, and try to convert it burn that to a dvd or blu-ray using toast, the problem re-emerges.
I triec searching around, but most of the suggestions that came up were vauge, like, "Upgrade to a real program like Final Cut." (This was in reply to people who were using free software programs.)
I did see one idea surface where 44 and 48 kHz sampling rates don't play well together. So I combed through my project and found all the 44.1 songs that were used, and swapped them out with upsampled versions. Nothing changed. It didn't sound like it would fix it, as people usually said it was a specific amount of frames off, not something drifting out of sync.
So the question is, does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this? Thanks! :-)

Project settings can be accessed and changed by selecting the project and pressing command-J. Then, in the inspector, click on the little gear in the lower-right hand corner to access the settings.
Why are you trying to output video/audio separately? If the content plays in-sync when exporting a quicktime movie (using current project settings), you could try separating the video/audio using MPEG Streamclip as a second step instead of using compressor. For audio, don't change the sample rate from the project settings, and use uncompressed audio (AIFF) as the output format.
