Streaming video with lighttpd anyone

Believe it or not finding relavent info on this topic in the wild is pretty darn tough. I'd like to setup my lighttpd to treat mkv, mp4, mpg, avi etc. as something to cause the client's browser to open a mediaplayer rather than to download. From what I've found through searching, one needs to define the mimetype of these extensions in lighttpd.conf but the advice is to set them to 'application/x-vlc-plugin' which is fine for systems with vlc installed. Is there a more generic solution to this?

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

Stream video with Adobe Flash Media encoder

Looking for a video camera capable of streaming video with
good quality and decent price.
What camara should I buy?

I'm not sure if the Vixia series can be used to provide realtime video to a PC. They're not really designed for this purpose - they are primarily recording devices.

Streaming video in Red5 - anyone done this before?

Hi all,
Just a quick question. I have setup a red5 streaming server and am having some difficulties getting the video inside captivate 5 to stream peoperly. I have been through as many help tutorials as I can find, but am still getting very mixed results. I have specified streaming in the video management option within captivate and given the url - I have tried several different url's, both with and without the .flv extension. Sometimes, the video will stream, but only very rarely. When the video does stream, it still writes the "connection error" string over the video, even though the video plays!
Has anyone else used the red5 server to stream video within captivate?
Thanks for any adive/tips!

Streaming video with mac

I am needing to setup a high quality video on demand system and I am having an extremely difficult time doing so. Let me quickly explain what I need to do. I want a teacher to sit at the main office where all of the servers, systems, cameras, etc are and I want the teacher to broadcast a class. Then I want students or anyone needing the training to be able to sit at his or her and with their broadband connection click on a weblink and the video would pull up and they could enter a username and password and join the class. Do you have anything that can do this???
if so how do these next items work???
1-after they click on the link to open up the live streaming video, do they have to download a client or will it open in his or her browser or use a program they already have??? Will it work on both windows and apple? and will it work in all web browsers (IE, mozilla, apple, etc etc)???
2-can i require a username and password to access the video? and if so what database does it pull from ? can it be integrated into active directory or something similar???
3-Is there anyway I can get some sort of collaboration??? I want the studetns to be able to type instant messages to ask questions to the teacher?
---if you have any products that can handle this please let me know...I am in a time crunch to get this done! Thanks so so much

Streaming Video with Cue Points

I have made a video with cue points, when it is in a local
file, lingo can check its cuepointtime and cuepointnames as well,
but when it is put in streaming server, its cuepointtime and
cuepointnames are both empty when get by lingo.
Could anyone please tell how to get the cue points of a video
when getting it from streaming server?
Linda

you're welcome.
for anyone else with a similar issue, using the info property of the MetadataEvent is the correct way to proceed. (that event has no object property.)

How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?
Smartmart

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

With latest version of Flashplayer - unable to download streaming video with realplayer

The latest version of Adobe flashplayer (11.5) was loaded today (nov 9, 2012). As a result, using either IE9 or Firefox, I was unable to download streaming videos using Realplayer, where it was set up by "Download the Video". I had no trouble with Flashplayer 11.4, although I had the same problem with Flashplayer 11.3.

Good comments by Hicks. While I an not as anti-iMovie '08 as many others appear to be, I really agree with both his assessment of the product and some of his distribution ideas. However, rather than the simple 2-tier product recommendation he presented, I would personally like to see a renamed version of the current iMovie '08 product be distributed as a free application to users and keep all of the DV based editors as a part of the current 3-tier iLife (which can be purchased by users who wish more editing/plug-in compatibility at a moderate price but are not willing to invest the money or time to use of FCE), FCE "prosumer", and FCE/Studio true profession editing packages purchased according to individual user needs.
As we have seen in the past, innovations introduced by FCE frequently filter their way down to lower level software as enhancements over time. In addition, we have also seen a number of the new iMovie '08 developments being adapted to other applications as the means and processes are developed to do so. Frankly, I am curious to see where all these new innovations may lead given the opportunity for further development.

How can I stream video with Flash?

Hi guys!
I have a placeHolder MC in my main movie.
Within the placeHolder is an external swf containing an mpg
video.
How can I code the preloader of the external swf to stream
the mpg?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Mark

if you mean stream as in streaming video, you need the
communication server.
if you mean preload the file, you can do so with various
components in flash.
loadMovie
Loader
MovieClipLoader
and more that escape my mind atm.

Flash Streaming Video with Close Captioning

Hello,
I am trying to create streaming video using flash. I've
already created the video and encoded as a FLV file.
Two questions:
1. I am currently hosting my streaming video on
Playstream.com. How do I incorporate this video such that when a
user views the content he/she will see a buffer bar loading as the
video plays? A good example is on YouTube.com.
2. I've aready created my close caption file and have it in
xml format. How do I sync my close captioned file with the flash
video?
Thanks in advance.
mdawg

I don't know too much about how to capture both video and
aplication monitoring moves at the same time.
I do however want to warn you about a possible pitfall of
making the presenter's video by recording with a digital cammera in
front of a PC or TV monitor screen.
The video from a monitor screen, taken with a digital camera
comes out full of glitches and flashes. This is present the video
in the monitor, and those used by the recording digital camera to
capture the scenes. It's a synchronization problem and makes the
video very unconfortable to watch.
A wrokaround for this requires expensive and hard to come by
equipment. To work around this, I would suggest to record a video
of the presenter first. Have him or her read the script while
standing or sitting in front of a fixed colored background. This
helps to avoid distractions to the viewer.
Review, edit and decide how you like the presentation video
first. Create the video file, and then you can play it in a 2x2
window on your PC monitor.
Here is where my expertise stops.
I don't know how or if you can then record the screen while
manipulating and recording your application's CAPTIVATE file. Maybe
it's possible to capture both windows at the same time side by
side, but my point is that you need to avoid recording with a
digital camera from a video monitor, it just doesn't look good.
Hope this helps a little.

Trouble viewing streaming video with Quicktime

This is a problem I have no encountered before, and I am hoping someone has an idea, because I'm fresh out.
A user has to take a class that involves her logging into a webiste with her own unique ID, and watching a video before it will allow her to take a test. It is a quicktime streaming video. When she attempts to watch the video, all she gets is a large quicktime symbol with a bar going back and forth under it, as though it were loading, but it never loads. Here comes the odd part. We had another user log into the website ont the same computer and she was able to watch the video just fine. We then had the original user try to watch on a different computer, and she was still not able to watch, though another user was able to watch the video with their own login on that computer as well. We believe it is a problem with her account on that website, but I am just curious if quicktime has any quirks that might cause this? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I cannot imagine that the problem is due to QuickTime or any other fault on the computer. If it were, it's highly likely that all users logging in from that same computer would have the same problem, and the problem would not be moving with that user to other computers.
I think it's almost certainly something amiss with your user's account on your server.
Regards.

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".

Stopping streaming video with cue points

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for weeks now. All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);
function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void
if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");
obmintro.pause();
//i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.
please tell me what i'm doing wrong and how it's really supposed to be done. i'm feeling very hopeless and blonde right now. help a girl out?

you're welcome.
for anyone else with a similar issue, using the info property of the MetadataEvent is the correct way to proceed. (that event has no object property.)

Updated to ios5 and can no longer stream videos with apps. Solutions?

I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5 and can no longer stream avi files that I get as mail attachments. I have two video player apps (GoodPlayer and oPlayer) and I can't choose to open the attachments with either of them when I hold down the file name in mail. Before the update, avi files played perfectly well with oplayer and now, nothing... I'm a pretty basic user and just want something that works well. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you running the current versions of these apps - you have checked for app updates?
I use OPlayer which works fine with iOS 5. As an FYI, viewing an AVI attachment received via emal is not streaming.
Any problem with a 3rd party app you need to take up with the app developer.
