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 webcam using Flash

    I have my website running on godaddy. It's not a business.
    It's more of a personal website. I have Adobe flash CS3. I'm
    running an HTML streaming cam in my website, but I would like to
    convert it to an embedded flash player widget like justin.TV or
    stickam. I have played around with some actionscripts and got it
    work locally, but does not work when I go to my website at work. Is
    there any docs, books or help in getting this to work? I know of
    FMS, but I'm not running my site locally and it's not professional.
    Do I still need this?
    Thanks

  • Does IE have a problem streaming radio through flash?

    I made a radio player that plays different internet radio stations.  It works in firefox and Chrome but does not work in IE.   I have tried ony 2 computers. But both of them same thing.   Are there security restrictions in IE that the other browsers dont enforce?  Below is the code I use to play the sound.   Im thinking IE has a problem with ;stream.mp3
    The source of the internet radio is not located on my server.

    One of the streams actually does play in IE.  I just noticed.   Do you know why some streams would play and some would not in IE?  All the streams play in firefox and Chrome.

  • Adding streaming video to flash 8

    I have two videos, one is a Windows Media Video and the other
    is a QuickTime video. They are both hosted on a streaming video
    server. I am trying to stream them through Flash. I do not want to
    create a FLV. I created a button to the two links but that doesn't
    work. I tried to embed an video object but don't see anything for
    wmv and qt. So my question is, how do you add streaming WMV and QT
    to Flash?

    Check the FLASH help files. I think you can only stream
    FLV.

  • 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!

    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 rtsp sdp through flash

    Hi,
    I can successfully use QTSS to stream to a quicktime .mov in html. The problem is I want to stream 4 feeds at the same time and allow the user to interact with the streams (choose 1 or 2 or all 4). I would like to do this in Flash, but flash never seems to play the .mov which is a reference movie to the .sdp stream. Is there a way to reference the rtsp stream directly from flash?
    I also thought about using quartz composer for the job, but it seems to crash when trying to open the .mov that references the stream.
    If you have any ideas or know of similar project that is web based and allows users to interact with multiple live streams please let me know!
    THanks!
    ALEX

    trace out NetStatus to see what is thrown when the error
    occurs.

  • How do I trigger commercial breaks from ad networks through Flash Media Encoder 3.2

    We stream live sporting events and need to trigger commercial breaks through Flash Media Encoder.  We need the trigger to get to our ad network and they in turn would insert the spots into the programming. I know it can be done but am not sure how to go about this with the software.

  • Set up a Foscam wireless webcam through BaseStation 7.71 inside and outside of my home network.

    I bought a X10 wireless Security Camera last year and it took me months to figure out how to set it up to access the video both inside my home and through my iPhone remotely, even on my Mac at my office.  I thought I would provide my process of getting this done to help those trying something similar.  Yes the X10 camera works as a Foscam Camera.  I am very happy with the result.  The biggest  challenge was Port Forwarding the Apple Basestation but now that I figured it out, it is easy.
    "How I set up a Foscam wireless webcam through Apple Hardware and software to work inside and outside of my home network seemlessly."
    What you need:
    -Foscam or compatible camera, (iPad or iPhone or Mac or better all three)!
    -Service Provider Router.
    -Apple Base Station, Extreme or Express. 7.71
    -'ip scanner' (software for Mac, app for iPad/iPhone.
    -CCTV Camera pros port scanner app for iPhone.
    First REMOTE ACCESS
    Go to www.dyndns.org and set up an account. For about $20/yr you can have 30 host websites.  Write down the user name and password as you will need it later.
    You need  this service to have a stable website to see your camera outside your network later as 'ip' addresses can change but this site will remain stable.
    Then after you log back in, create a 'host website' from the menu.  When you are creating the host site, dyndns will give you lots of web address choices or you can create your own. Just pick one. Also, you will need the 'ip' of the server where the camera will be. Luckily the dyndns website tells you this, just select it. Write down the web address, click create and you are done this part.
    Next you need to set up the camera.
    CAMERA SET UP
    Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Apple Base Station to your web cam.
    You will need to run 'ip scanner' to see the 'ip' address for the web cam. Write down the 'ip'. Select it, then select "open device in".  Pick browser.
    A web page will be launched and you are given 3 choices. I picked the middle, 'push browser'.  You are then asked for the user name and password for the camera. By default the user is 'administrator' and there is no password. Just click log in. You now will see a menu along the left, at the bottom it should say 'device management'. Select that. Another page will show and there are several important things to do here.
    1. Alias - give a name to the camera.
    2. Set the time from a server.
    3. Users - set a user and password. Write this down as you will need it.
    4. Basic network. Either check to 'Obtain IP from DHCP Server' or specify an IP you want to stay the same. You need the subnet and main DNS server and the Gateway (same thing like 192.168.0.?or 10.0.0.? or 172.16.0.?)
    Decide on a port you want use. Write this down. The camera will reboot, you will need to log in. In the browser enter IP then : the port#.  Like 192.168.0.?:80 you will need the camera user name and password.
    5. Wireless-scan for the nearby network list. Pick your network, enter your password, click submit. It will reboot.
    6. UPnP-check to use.
    7. DDNS Service (this allows remote viewing) pick DynDns.org
    Enter your DynDns user name and password.
    Enter the long DynDns Host website you wrote down. Click Submit. It will reboot. 
    APPLE Basestation set up
    Run Airport Utility on Mac or iPad or iPhone.
    Tap basestation, tap edit, tap advanced, tap Port Settings, tap 'new entry', in description enter a name, enter HTTP port number you picked when setting up the camera in all 4 spots: public and private UDP and TCP. Enter the IP address you picked in the camera setup. Click done and again until the Basestation updates.
    Run the CCTV app, pick 'tools', pick 'Port forwarding Checker'. Enter the port you selected to see if it shows open then you are good. If not go back through the steps.
    Set up Foscam App on the iPad and iPhone.
    Run App, tap Add Camera,
    Label- enter a name
    User- Camera user name
    Password- Camera
    Local camera address-the IP address eg 192.168.0.?
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Remote address- the long one from DynDns.
    Port- the one you specified.
    If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
    Tap done.
    If everything is entered correctly it will all work.
    Trouble shooting, make sure the IP address for the camera is listed correctly in the Apple Router.  If it changes on the network, just go into the Airport Utility and update that.  Also make sure the dyndns address is correctly listed in the Camera set up.
    If questions, just let me know.

    Ok.. you have to work out the way you are going to access the TC..
    There are basically three methods..
    1. Direct access using AFP.. you need a static public IP and the TC as the main internet router.. then you need to turn on internet access and password the hard disk. The college has to have port 548 open.
    If you do not have a static public IP then you can use ddns service but there is no client in the TC.. so you will have to figure out a way to update the service.
    2. Use BTMM with icloud. This is the Apple method. It actually uses vpn..(the vpn is locked to apple use only but it is not available to end user).. The requirements are 7.6.1 firmware and lion or ML on a Mac computer. I am not sure of the ports because the link to the Apple cloud is separate from the vpn to your home system.
    3. VPN.. that means you need to bridge the TC and use a decent quality vpn modem / router or combo thereof.
    VPN are not for the faint of heart.. it can take a lot of work to get running but offers the best security.. you will need to change the network equipment in your house more than likely.. using a pc / mac as a vpn server is possible.. but messy.
    There are also easy ways to at least access the home computer.. teamviewer for example. This is likely blocked by the college though.
    Double NAT is where you put a router on a private IP behind another router on a private IP.. that makes port forwarding close to impossible.

  • Quality problem with animated gif through flash

    on html/swf publication it looks clear.
    but the weird thing is through gif publication, it wouldn't show. and exporting it as a movie as gif cause visual defect when put up on web.
    it looks better when you open it in a browser.
    this is how it looks for a profile gif in thumbnail mode. blocky and unclear.

    Change your gif export setting under publish...

  • Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV?

    Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV? I use Keynote and Apple TV to stream my Keynote presentations at work and the Picture does not look great and does not put the presetation in widscreen mode. Would the Apple Digital Av adapter fix that?

    The size on the screen should remain, but the quality should be better.

  • E-mail through flash

    For sending and e-mail through flash we uese the following
    code.
    getURL ("mailto:" +recipient+ "?cc=" + cc + "&subject=" +
    subject + "&body=" +body)
    My question is, can we attach a file also along with this,
    say test.xls?
    Thanks in advance :)

    hey martin, thx for responding:)
    but it is not that i cannot play the .mp3 file thats inside the e-mail, because i can just play mp3 files on my pc,
    its that, since ive opened that e-mail again, all flash-player stuff from websites wont give me sound anymore.
    for example: youtube videos do not have sound anymore. its all working, except, theres no sound output.
    its the same with multiple other sites that work this way.
    so its just that, since opening an e-mail, containing a normal .mp3 file, my flash-player plugin in firefox stopped working.
    i can play mp3 files on my pc, my sound is working, all is working, except the output of the flash player in firefox.
    thank you for your time:) hope to hear back from you soon.

    Subject: flash player sound problem after opening WMP file through e-mail
    Hi sum 1
    Ok   firstly i am not a PC geek,
    but I come from the schoolf of eliminate the obvious, even if it seems to obvious...
    and most of the time the simplest things actually work.
    So please do not give me a mouthful if this doesnt work, i am just trying something to see if it works or at leasst eliminates
    something obvious from the equation.
    Could you from email save the file to a location that you know , but
    in the drop down box from "Save As"
    make sure the file is saved as an MP3 format file.
    Then after it has saved go to the folder find the file double click it to run it...
    ( use "open with" and select FlashPlayer if its not the default player)
    and just see if the file now plays properly in Flash
    cheers

  • Running a Captive Runtime debug build through flash builder

    Is there a way to launch a debug configuration through Flash Builder that has the captive run time built in?
    I am developing and testing an app for android devices that do not have the newest version of the Air Runtime, some of the devices require captive runtime because they cannot upgrade.  I need to be able to launch the app on these devices AND get debug/console information from flash builder for identifying defects.
    any ideas?

    Hey Wright,
    Captive Runtime can only be used at export release build time.
    Hence you cannot debug the application with captive runtime bundled.
    Thanks,

  • MP4 Progressive through flash quit playing...HELP please

    This has baffled me to know end. A few days ago my computer lost the ability to play any progressively downloaded .MP4 video through flash on the web. I have a whole site of videos that quit working for me. I can view videos encoded as .flv or .wmv on site like vimeo or youtube but if it is .mp4 extention the video just spins and never plays. I need to find a solution to this ASAP so if any one has any insight, I would be forever greatful! MP4s play fine locally on my machine or even through a direct link, just not through a progressive-dl flash player on the web.
    I'm on a XP-64 machine with CS3 suites and quicktime installed.
    Things I have tried.
    -Restarting
    -Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash
    -Searching google for similar problems.

    Could you take a look at the following FAQ to see if any of the workarounds help you?  It also contains details on the information you'll need to provide to us so we can investigate further.
