Streaming  MPEG-4 Streams through Flash?

My company has live streams for CNN and NASA TV using VBrick.
The direct URL's can be accessed through our internal network via a
link similar to
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/vbs2d1.sdp
Is there any way I can have this stream through a Flash
interface I create using a Flash Media Server? I've streamed live
video via my webcam via Flash, but not sure if this kind of
connection to a live TV broadcast would be possible.
Thanks!
Alysen

You can't do it directly (FMS and the flashplyer don't
support mp4), but you can make it happen with just a little bit of
sloppiness.
What you could do is receive the streams from Nasa and CNN on
a machine with a video output (we'll call this "machine A"), and
run your .swf (the one that connects to FMS) on another machine
("machine B") with a video input (like a capture card).
You would connect the video out/audio out of machine A to the
video in/audio in of machine B. Then it's just a matter of
selecting the video input as the camera for the .swf (using the
settings dialog).

  • 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?

  • Streaming live audio in a flash movie

    Hi, I'm working on a website for a local radio station, and I
    want to be able to stream a live audio feed of the radio station to
    a flash movie. Right now all I really know is that the URL to get
    this live feed is
    http://kpacradio.pacific.edu:8000
    - if you put that into Windows Media Player it will start the radio
    broadcast. Is it possible to play this through flash so that the
    user can just stream it from a website rather than having to
    introduce windows media player into it? Thanks a lot.
    David

    No. The Flashplayer can't connect to a windows media
    serverYou'd need to capture the stream and republish to FMS, or
    broadcast directly to FMS instead of WMS.

  • Is there a way to play streaming wmv on iPad through safari?

    Is there a way to play streaming wmv on iPad through safari?

    No. WMV is a proprietary Microsoft video container and there is no native support for it in iOS.
    There are third-party apps on the AppStore that claim to be able to do this, but not through Safari.

  • Viewiew MPEG-4 streaming with other players

    I have hinted MPEG-4 files for streaming from Darwin Streaming Server. Can the users view them with other ISO-compliant players, or only with QuickTime player ?
      Windows XP Pro  

    OPen mp4 in Quicktime. Save As QT movie (then has .mov extension). Safari and Firefox open with QT.
    OR
    use the correct html embed (object for IE) tags (see QT apple developer info) QT plays them fine.
    To put a file for download, try zipping it (archive in Finder) then post a link to the zipped file. THe user then just has to unzip it to recover it (haven't tried this yet.

  • Creating a Program Stream MPEG File

    I work at a small public cable access operation and we use Final Cut 4 to edit our video. The video is then burned to DVD for airing. We recently purchased a file server that requires the files to be in MPEG 2 Program Stream format. It is my understanding that Final Cut Pro creates MPEG 2 Transport stream formats.
    I am looking for both hardware and software solutions to convert from an MPEG 2 transport stream to an MPEG2 program stream.
    Thanks for the help.

    I use Compression Master by Popwire. Expensive at $499, but it works. I don't think you can convert transport streams to program stream though.

  • Some questions while using JMF play mpeg-1 stream media?

    I use Helix server to provide unicast, and use JMF to play the stream media. But the JMF only play the audio stream transferred by rtp. I have used video palyer�s getVisualComponent() method to get Visual component and added it into the frame. But I get a pink screen. So I think some thing wrong with the video player.
    Who can give me an answer?
    1.     Whether JMF can play mpeg-1 video stream media?( Audio can be heard. Video stream comes to my computer but can�t be displayed.)
    2.     Which method it should use to synchronize video stream and audio stream?
    BTW: In JMF, when the RTSP player�s start() method is invoked, the player creates players by the stream�s track numbers. Video stream and audio stream have different players.

    Try posting your question under the Java Media Framework forum instead.
    You'll get much better responses if you ask the right people !

  • MP3s on Network Storage appear as MPEG Audio Stream

    I store all music on my network attached storage device and map it to my iMac via the AFP protocol. After upgrading to iTunes 10.5.1, all of these Mp3 files now appear as a type 'MPEG Audio Stream' to iTunes and can no longer sync with my iPod or be matched via iTunes Match.

    Hi Jens,
    I will suggest you to call the support center, cause there are some bugs related to the issue you are having.

  • MPEG Audio stream files @ HTTP?

    Recently I have started and I am enjoying using GarageBand to make audio clips to add to my iMovie projects. Since I need sounds effects I have downloaded a few from the Internet. They all are in the format "MPEG audio stream files" and come with the annotation "@ HTTP" on the icon. Are they Podcasts and if they are why I cannot use GarageBand to import them as audio files into iTunes?
    Thanks in advance for any imput.
    Frank

    Take a look at the file size, it's probably very small. Streaming means that you don't actually have the snd file... when you play that reference file the audio is streamed over the internet to you (like a radio broadcast, you don't have the recording, but you can listen to it)
    As a guess I would think that these are not freeware snd f/x, and so you'd be infringing on someone's Copyright by trying to use them.

  • Can iTune convert MPEG audio stream files?

    For my iMovie projects I sometimes need Sound Effects. They can be downloaded for free from the Internet, however the audio files are in the "MPEG audio stream" format. I can listen to them, but iMovie will not accept them. Can they be converted to file recognizable by iMovie?
    Frank

    You cannot convert streams, because you're not actually downloading an audio file, but only the link to it.
    There are 3 audio capture applications known to me, which can be used to record the streams and add the recordings to iTunes.
    Audio Hijack and Audi Hijack Pro can be found here and Wiretap Pro here.
    Hope this helps.

  • MPEG Audio Stream

    Why is it impossible to pause an MPEG audio stream file without having it restart when you want to play it again? And also, why is it impossible to skip ahead in the MPEG audio stream file while it is playing?

    Hi, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
    An audio stream is not a file on your disk or on a cd, it is literally a digital stream that is playing as it is downloading. When you click on "Pause", you are stopping the stream. When you click "Play" again, you are restarting the stream, but there is now download manager for streams, so the stream starts from the beginning of the file on the server side or else from the beginning of the playlist, or, if it is a live radio stream, you will pick the stream up at the current live position.
    While some of the stream is cached on your computer, iTunes has no control over the cache, and the stream is not cached as a file, so the cache may only hold the most recent portion of the stream.
    I have seen some movie streams that you could pause, backtrack, or move forward (once enough of the stream was downloaded) using Quicktime, but I have seen nothing similar for audio streams short of recording the stream and then playing the resultant file.

  • No audio when compressing .mov to Mpeg transport stream (m2t)

    Since reinstalling OSX and FCS2 I don't get audio when I compress a quicktime movie to mpeg transport stream, used to be able to do it. I'm playinh the m2t in mpeg streamclip and assume it will handle audio, settings in compressor look ok, (48K 16 bit) although the button for multiplexed mpeg i/layer 2 audio is greyed out and unticked !?

    Answering my own query here, but in case it helps someone else ... there appears to have been sound all along, at least since I ticked the mpeg audio box on the extra tab. When the file is playing in mpegstreamclip you have to work the volume fader down and up again at which point the sound comes on (yes it was faded up initially)
    Wierd one, its almost as though there was a faulty physical fader rather than a virtual one.
