Streaming FLV

I want to convert from DVD to Streaming FLV. Is Adobe Media Player useful for this task?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
David.

I use cucusoft's DVD to FLV converter http://www.cucusoft.com/ but I'm not sure if it's the best on the market.

Streaming .flv cue point problem

I’ve been working with Flash video with synced slide
presentations since February, which have been exclusively download
streaming, all based on the presentation available at the adobe web
site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/vidtemplate_corppreso.html
My issue has come up when using this template with streaming
flv’s, the buttons that I use to reference the cue points in
the video and slides on the timeline do not work reliably;
sometimes they will shuttle the video and slides to the correct
point, usually they move the slides on timeline to the appropriate
spot and the video jumps back to the beginning. Besides this
sizable problem, the presentation plays the way it is supposed to.
Is there a setting in the component inspector that I’m
missing? Should I re-encode the video with Navigation cue points?
Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently your video has been encapsulated in JWPlayer. You can find out more about JWPlayer here: http://www.longtailvideo.com/players
This seems to be yet another solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and whoever runs that website fell for the sales pitch.

Assert failed in /modules/streams/flv/TCFLVData.cpp

Hi,
We're running FMS 3.5.2 r654 on RHEL 5.2 and we're getting tons of errors like this:
"2009-08-31 10:47:43 11394 (e)2581279 Assert failed in /modules/streams/flv/TCFLVData.cpp line 2033 -"
Always the same line number.
Can we safely ignore this error? What does it mean?
We're only getting this since 3.5.2. We were running FMS 3.5.1 before, and weren't getting this error, but upgraded to get rid of the occasional "core experienced [x] failures"-crashes.
Kind regards,
Pieter Barrezeele

thanks patrick for your interest.
we're using the 2.0.3.
this error code was never traced in the log file of the 2.0.2

E)2581279 Assert failed in /modules/streams/flv/TCFLVData.cpp line 1202

In an application where I do a recording from webcam to fms,
sometimes I obtain this error in core.XX.log:
(e)2581279 Assert failed in
/modules/streams/flv/TCFLVData.cpp line 1202 -
when it happens the effect client side is that I try to play
a stream just recorded, and I see a stream of 0 seconds, with the
command: stream.play(nomefile, 0, -1, true);
often when I obtain this error the durantion of the stream
from the media server is very different form the real one recorded.
How could I resolve this situation or work around it?
thanks for your time and all of your suggestions and helps

Streaming .flv problem

When i stream .flv i have no image, only white background but
when i try in progressive work without problem!!
Anyone have a idea?
thx

I think you need to create a Video object, drag it to the
stage, set its dimensions, give it a name (try "theVideo") and then
in actionscript, prior to _ns.play(), run this:
theVideo.attachVideo(_ns);
Then call _ns.play(). See if that helps!

Looping a streaming flv movie, but loop to halfway through flv

Hello,
I've managed to loop my progressively streaming flv with both the following approaches (both gained from these forums - so thank you very much!)
Giving my FLV an instance name of "vid" and then adding this to an Action layer:
var vidList : Object = new Object();
vidList.complete = function() {
vid.play();
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
stop();
Or simply attaching the following to the FLV itself:
on (complete){
this.autoRewind=true;
this.play();
However, what I really want to do is have it loop back to a point, say, 5 seconds into the flv. I've tried gotoAndPlay instead of just play, but of course the swf only has the one frame so I don't think frame numbers are the way forward? I've been seeing "cuepoints" and "NetStream" coming up in various searches I've done - is that the way forward? They both seem quite complicated for something that I've almost solved using either of the above.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim

If it's scripted to be initially paused, you can simply
position it in
the score to be off stage, insert a key frame at the frame
were position
moves to display location.

Muilti-Streaming FLVs problem

im working on this template and have been fine so far untill
now when trying to add more than 1 streaming FLV in the WORKS
section, the first video works fine on the first viewing of that
page but if you click on the first thumbnail again the video just
gets stuck on the buffering loop, also if you try to click on
another thumbnail (the first 4 are video) they just dont seem to be
working just get stuck on the buffering stage again im sure there
somthing little or somthing in my face thats wrong but i just can
see it.
to view the site and see what i mean click on the link below
and goto the WORKS section
[url=http://www.nwmsltd.com/flash]http://www.nwmsltd.com/flash[/url]
this is the thumbnail button code
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.k<>1) {
_root.g1 = _root.g;
//this tell Flash which frame to goto in the gall movie clip
_root.g = 1;
_root.text="01";
_parent._parent._parent.gall.gotoAndPlay("s1");
this is my streaming video code which is in the gall movie
clip which is holding bid _p movie clip where all the code is on
the first 4 frames the following code is on each frame just the
video url is different

Stream FLVs - new setup

Hi folks. Very new to the Flash Media Server. Have 2.0.3
installed on a W2k3 box. Pretty much spent all day looking for
documentation to help me stream .flvs. I though the docs for CF
were bad. :(
I have no problem with the concept of getting a action script
to call the server. However, everytime I try calling the server it
tells me that the application isn't setup. So I go searching
through the PDF that came with the install of the server, and it
doesn't really talk about creating applications other than to click
the button in the administrator to add a new instance. When I do
that, nothing happens.
Can anyone point me to the next step to do after the server
is installed and is up and running?
Also, I don't want this server to be an edge server. However,
it seems to think it is one (maybe this is normal?). All the
activity is going on in my edge.00.log files.
Some of this is vague, I know, but I'm at a loss as to where
to go next (short of calling support) to get this server up and
running.

I am sorry to hear you don't like our documentation. I may be
a bit biased
but I actually think the documentation is pretty
good. Please do me a favor and give it a second chance.
I suggest to start with flashmediaserver_developing.pdf (in
your documentation subdirectory of the FMS root) - it gets
interesting on page 14 et sqq.
In short, this is what you have to do:
- create a subdirectory in [FMS_ROOT]\applications
the name of the directory is the name of your application.
Let's call it "foo":
[FMS_ROOT]\applications\foo
- this is where your server side scripts go to
- if you want to stream FLVs and MP3s, you need a directory
called "streams":
[FMS_ROOT]\applications\foo\streams
- Now the media content needs to sit in an application
instance. You may put this into the default instance:
[FMS_ROOT]\applications\foo\streams\_definst_ (please create
it - it won't be created automatically)
or create another instance:
[FMS_ROOT]\applications\foo\streams\bar
- When you code your client, you need to make a netconnection
to:
rtmp://yourfmshost/yourapplication/yourinstance
please note that the streams directory does not show up here
In our case it's:
rtmp://yourfmshost/foo/bar
or for the default instance
rtmp://yourfmshost/foo/_definst_
but because it's the default instance you may omit it as
well:
rtmp://yourfmshost/foo
- When the NetConnection is established you need to create a
stream on this connection and play your video.
Please also have a look at the Devcenter for FMS - there are
many samples and easy to use step-by-step tutorials there that will
be of help for you.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver
Regarding your concerns about the edge process:
Every FMS Server always runs 3 processes: master, core and
edge. In short, the edge is the process which talks to the client,
the core runs the actual application and the master looks after
them - more details are in the docs
so it's nothing to worry about.
The edge
server is something else, i.e. a FMS install that can act as
a proxy to an origin server. This is part of the enterprise version
of FMS (also referred to as "Origin / Edge").
Have fun using Flash Media Server!

Streaming .FLV files from Media Server 4.5 using PHDS

I would like to stream .FLV files from adobe media server 4.5.
Requirements state that the files should be considered secret, so I decided that PHDS sounds like the
right thing.
I was able to stream an .FLV by placing it in the webroot/vod folder using an url like http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However the developer manual states that a way to enable PHDS at the server level is to uncomment the two lines like this.
<IfModule jithttp_module>
<Location /hds-vod>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/vod"
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption
# for this location.
   EncryptionScope server
   ProtectionScheme phds
</Location>
</IfModule>
However I am not able to stream my FLV using url like http://myserver/hds-vod/test.flv
Question : Am I supposed to use the hds-vod in the URL or is /vod doing the same ?
                  Is the approach correct, or should the files go into an applications\myapplication\media folder ?
                  I will need some server side actionscript to validate access to the stream, is that possible without a dedicated application ?

Hi,
When you use the vod location directive you're basically using Progressive download so your URL is as : http://myserver/vod/test.flv
However, when you use the location directive hds-vod, it is HTTP Streaming, where the fragments are created on the fly. For this your URL needs to be as : http://myserver/hds-vod/test.f4v.f4m
Please note .flv files are not supported for HTTP streaming (via hds-vod location directive). You cannot use PHDS with .flv files.
Thanks,
Apurva

Player control for flash animation containing streamed FLVs

I need to learn how to build a player that will control my animation when it contains 3 or more streamed FLVs. I also need it to be functional during development of the animation so that I can provide partial animations to my sound guy to sync voices, music, and sfx. Are there any good tutorials out there? I can find FLV player controls, but I need to control a Flash movie that contains FLVs.
Thanks!

Hi Charlotte,
You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

Problem playing streaming FLV

Hi ppl,
I'm trying to play streaming FLV files using FLVPlayback
component.
Some of those FLV files have different resolution. When the
FLVPlayback property "maintainAspectRatio" is set to "true", it
runs correctly, but, sometimes, with some black bars or spaces on
the right because the component resized it and let the same aspect
ratio.
When I set that property to "false", the FLV video fits
exactly the size of the component area, but when I click to change
to next video, it fails, the component doesn't play the next video
=\
I searched and found that was a bug of the FLVplayback
component, so I updated it and didn't resolve..
Any suggestion?
Thanks...

I think you need to create a Video object, drag it to the
stage, set its dimensions, give it a name (try "theVideo") and then

How do I start a streaming .flv at a point other than the beginning of the video file?

I have a 1.5 hour flv video that is streaming from a
Microsoft 2003 box with Wowza Media Server installed. Using
Actionscript 3 and the FLVplayback component I would like to start
the video at a point about 10 seconds from the beginning.
This code snippet does not work:
myVideoFile.seek(10);
myVideoFile.play();
Though the video seeks to the proper point in the video file,
the play() call sends it back to the beginning. Thanks for your
help!

That's the ticket!

How to stream flv files from a diffferent directory outside the applications folder

Hi everyone,
I want to stream the flv files from a different location
stored in the hard disk, which is outside the applications folder
in the FMS installation root directory. Does anyone know how to do
it?
Regards,
Diptanu

VOD changes won't help him, he said outside the applications
folder. According to adobe any new vod folders must be in the
applications folder, hence virtually worthless for most purposes. A
better question may be, how do you specify a folder on a different
local hard drive. I wish adobe wouldn't make it so complicated, it
should be a really simple matter.

Streaming flv with interactible objects

Hi Guys,
I am trying to make a flash based web site. The idea is to
have a flv video streaming which has people moving around and the
people need to be clickable objects.
I tried tracing the video by importing the flv to the flash
time line and creating a button that follows a person in each
frame. I then remove the flv video from the timeline and stream it
using actionscript. This leads to synchronization issues.
Does anyone know if this combination of swf and flv has ever
been implemented? If so could you please refer me to the source or
post a link to an example, it would be much appreciated.

Hi sorry for the delay in responding.
I'm not using any client side code as far as I am aware.
I think I should have said: Flash CS3 video Encoder, as I am
running both Production Premium Creative Suite 3, and also CS3 Web
Premium.
All I did was convert some AVI files that went through
Premiere Pro CS3 and After Affects etc, in Flash Video Encoder. I'm
not doing any live streaming.
THe FLVplackcomponent is the one generated in Dreamweaver
CS3, I choose Insert / Flash Video and choose the Streaming
options, I fill out the rtmp details ( I have another thread on an
issue there as a firewall blocks some of the files and I cannot use
rtmpt) and it works!!
If you have a suggestion for a better workflow or precedure I
would appreciate it.
It is just this one FLV file that seems to do this. I have
since chnaged this one file to Progressive and it plays fine.
I hope this helps.
These files are then placed in the applications folder in
Flash Media Server 2.0 directory.
This works fine

Safari 1.3.2 and Streaming flv media bug

Tested the latest Safari on Tiger and streaming an flv file within a flash website seems ok.
However, on an older machine with Safari 1.3.2 the flash website works ok except the steaming flv media which does not play at all.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Or why this is happening?
PS:Mac and IE is fine, as is PC and IE.

Yes. The "Integrate with Internet Browsers" function in the iGetter Tools menu is ON.
Sorry. I'll mark this topic as answered even is NOT true because I make mistake and post it TWICE.
