Streaming Video Help

I am an old web designer, but new to this video streaming
stuff. I am not even sure if I am in the correct forum. If not, I
am sorry.
However, with me being new to this, I was hoping if someone
can point me in the right direction.
1. Do I need this Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server to post
streaming videos on my clients website (off my server).
2. What product is best to use?
3. Is there any of those wonderful tutorials out there can
help me?
Thanks,
Scottye

I'd advise first of all to think about the next: do you
really need a
live streaming? Live streaming is required if:
-- you need to broadcast a live (not recorded) video to the
Internet;
-- you need to prevent your video from saving at user's
computer.
If you don't need either of above, then I'd recommend to use
a
progressive download method, if you don't need to have a
random access
to your video segments (quick navigation across the movie) or
so
called HTTP Streaming technology, if you need a random access
to your
movie (forward/backward seeking). This last case requires a
special
(though rather simple) AS code writing and a special (also
very
simple) script at your web server. You can learn about how
this method
works for example here:

  • Choppy streaming video. help

    Hello,
    I have a problem watching streaming video. When ever i try to watch a video online it is very choppy and then when i get to the exact half way point of the movie it just stops. It is very weird and i have no idea what to do.
    Thanks for all the help!

    Are you watching the movie in a web browser (Safari, Firefox, Mozilla) or in a program (Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Quicktime)?
    Is your software all up-to-date?
    Is your Internet slow in general, or do you only have problems with online videos?

  • Can't find any discussions on this.  Suddenly cannot stream video in Safari or Chrome on my iPad 2.  The error is "The operation could not be completed."  Rebooted cable modem and router, no luck.  No problem with my PC.  Help!

    Suddenly I cannot stream video on my iPad 2.  I get the error, "The operation cannot be completed."  The browser (Safari or Chrome) continues to try to load the video with no result.  I have no problem streaming on my WIndows PC (laptop) using the same WiFi router (Netgear dual band) connected to my Comcast/Xfinity cable modem.  I have tried renewing my lease, clearing apps out of memory and rebootng the iPad, still no luck.  (How do you do a "hard reset", I forgot?)  Frustrating since I don't own a TV and am an Al Jazeera addict!  Help!

  • My videos started DOWNLOADING instead of STREAMING, please help

    Hi,
    I use to be able to show streaming video's on my site, created with Apple's iWeb and Compressor. Now, the videos I add to the site do not stream they download; they show the QuickTime logo; it takes quite some time for the videos to appear.
    I used QuickTime codec H.264 (mpeg-4), among others; videos are 320X240, 12 fps, hinted streaming, self contained just as for the other videos created and uploaded previously onto www.zoetra.com that play properly. I upload using Cyberduck.
    I contacted the host they do not know what causes this problem. Here below are the URL addresses of the pages where the videos download instead of streaming.

    I don't know much about this QuickTime stuff, but what I hear people recommending is to make sure that your movies have the "faststart" property included. It sounds like you probably have QuickTime Pro, and I understand that it is one of the save options there.
    If you don't have QuickTime Pro or if you just want a one-trick pony type of application to add the faststart property, you should check out Lillipot...

    What you'll have to do is to re-save the movie files, then replace the ones currently on your pages with the updated files.

  • Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

    Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    Here is the situation:
    My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
    The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
    On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
    I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
    When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to  connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
    Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
    Thanks in advance...

    The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
    From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
    From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
    Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
    Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
    The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
    All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
    ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
    An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
    Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
    O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
    I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
    Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
    O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

  • Streaming video display in v.5 and v.6 is monochrome and distored while Ffox help indicates need to update Nvidia driver that is NOT supported by HP; so is there a Ffox fix or do I play Russian roulette with unapproved Nvidia driver updates?

    For reference, this is HP PC laptop with AMD Turion64 running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit with 2G memory and Nvidia Go 6500 series chip. Streaming videos from sites like Comedy Network work in basic format (showing color etc.) but when made full screen are monochrome and distorted (i.e. fill 2/3 page). Current driver number from Nvidia is in the 1.8x range while Ffox and Nvidia show a newer driver that is in the 2.x range but Nvidia warns that drivers should be approved by notebook manufacturer. Since Ffox 4 and previous worked fine, why the problem with Ffox 5 and 6?

    I doubt that your notebook crashed because of the graphic card driver
    Possibly there is another reason why the notebook crashes.
    First of all you should check if new OS installation would help you on many cases the OS hangs or does not response due to damage registry entries or system files
    If the notebook will still crash after new OS installation then you should check if it could be related to a higher temperature inside the notebook
    Higher temperature could be one of the main reasons for such problems.
    Usually you could avoid a higher temperature by cleaning the cooling fans and grilles You could use a compressed air spray in order to remove the dust and debris
    Otherwise the notebook should be checked by an ASP technician I mean the G50 is one of the newest notebooks series and the warranty should be still valid so everything should be done for free!!

  • New to Quicktime-Please Help-Not Playing Streaming Video

    _PLEASE HELP, I AM NEW TO THIS._ I can't see that Quicktime is playing streaming videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime including Perian and every other plug-in I can find. In System Preferences I have tried Automatic and Custom (Port 80) for the Transport Protocol. I have everything checked in the MIME settings. In Safari Preferences I have all the plug-ins enabled. The streaming videos play in Safari, but if I try to open ANY URL in Quicktime, it says URL INVALID. THANK YOU.

    I dont believe you can put a youtube link in quicktime itself. An easy way to download them however is to add &fmt=18 for HQ videos or &fmt=22 for HD videos to the end of the youtube url ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSbC6HAgNE&fmt=18 Then load that page and then in safari click window then activity. Find the one with the largest size (should be the only one in MB) and double click on it. THen it will download to where you set safari to download your files.

  • Please help me to unable my ipad2 to play stream video from rtr planeta

    Please help me to unable my ipad2 to play stream video from rtr planeta . Thank you!

    I have no idea what rtr planeta is but if it uses Flash, it won't work very well or at all on an iOS device.  If it is Flash, try the Skyfire browser... it is supposed to run some Flash sites.  Review it carefully before purchase.

  • I need help with streaming video

    I have 7 videos I've produced that I would like to
    progressively stream from my web site. They're all approx 400 x 200
    about 2 minutes long with sound. I have a scene set up with each
    video in a separate keyframe so you can navigate from one to the
    other in the same scene.
    I can get the videos to play locally. When I upload the swf
    and .flvs to my server, they won't play. One error message I get on
    output states that "**Warning** The linkage identifier
    'FLVPlayback' was already assigned to the symbol 'FLVPlayback', and
    cannot be assigned to the symbol 'golden', since linkage
    identifiers must be unique." What I did there is rename each video
    in my library from FLVPlayback to a unique name so I can identify
    it.
    I get that output error message for each of the videos that
    I'm trying to publish. It sounds like I have to change the
    Identifier in each video, but I haven't figured out how to do that.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Ah, I see what happened. Every time I import a QT into the
    library, Flash creates a FLVPlayback component along with a .flv
    file. I cleared all but one FLVPlayback component and reimported
    the .flvs to stage and now I have streaming video on the website.
    Thanks clbeech, that was really helpful!
    One more issue. I've selected one of the prebuilt skins
    (Clearexternalplayseekmute.swf) to control video, while it works
    locally, I can't see it on the server. Do the skins need additional
    code to work?

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • IPad after update to 6.0.1 no longer stream video from my wireless Internet home monitoring camera. Help

  • Adobe Flash 11.9 buffers not correct in Stream Videos! PLease Help.

    First excuse my not so good English!
    I´m From Germany. I have a big Problem with the new Adobe Flash Update since 2 or 4 Weeks, when i whatch stream Videos on the Internet
    wherever i used Opera 18 Browser, Firefox Browser and Google Chrome Browser, by every Browser the flash player crashed. When i watch a Stream Video than the buffer pre-buffer the Stream Video, and after 10 oder 20 minutes the buffer jumps to fully charged. And when i jump to the point where the flash player says the Video is buffert then the stream finds no connection to the Stream Video and search and search and search with no ending!!!
    I disabled the hardware acceleration in the flash player and the browsers but it doesn´t change everything, then i put the memory for the Stream Portal to unlimited in flash player but It doesnt change everything.
    as well I search with Memtest 86 my memorys in the pc but the programm doesnt found a error.
    But when i install a older Flash Player Version the Version 11.4.402.465 Does not appear the problem! The Problem is only by the new Version 11.9 and bei the new Beta Version is the Same Problem. How can i eliminate this Problem?
    I have Windows 7 , 64 Bit Professional. The Problem is since the new Flash Player update, and a older Version is not the perfect and permanent solution!
    Do you have any Idee?
    Thank you!! I hope you answer me!!!

    If Flash Player does install, it puts two items into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins and adds a prefPane to System Preferences. Check those.If no go, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane, and let them deal with it, since it's a new machine.

  • All streaming video with my Firefox browser is choppy and constantly stutters and stops and starts. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. Help!!

    Any streaming video that I view on Firefox stutters, is choppy and very irritating to try and watch. I opened up Internet Explorer and found that I don't have those issues. This occurs on YouTube, Facebook, and all other videos that I attempt to watch.

    I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
    I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
    I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".
