Strobe media player stuck buffering until FMS is restarted.

We've been experiencing issues with live streams getting stuck buffering. I've verified all the stream files are being created correctly on the FMS 4.5.2 server.
I can see the streamsegxxx.f4f file size growing so I know data getting to the server. The issue only seems to happen when we first start the live streams, after completing the steps below it usually never seems to be a problem again for the remainer of the streaming event. Is the FMS server hung up or something?
The log files never seem to have any useful information to help identify the issue. Is there something specific I should look for in the log files and which log file should I be looking at?
The only solution we've found that seems to resolve the issue is to:
1. Stop the encoders and live stream.
2. Stop the FMS/Apache services.
3. Delete the stream files.
4. Restart the FMS/Apache services.
5. Restart encoders and start pushing the live stream again.
Thanks,
Dave

Found it. It was a syntax error that somehow snuck in. The URL shouldn't have the leading "/" in the directory name.

Flash media server and strobe media player

Hi,
any one is done by sample program with Strobe media player and Flash media server?if yes means please send me some tutorials or sample file with steps how to do.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in FMS and Strobe Media Player. SMP is a out of box sample player that can play streams from FMS and no coding is required for its basic functionality.
It can play RTMP and HTTP dynamic Streaming / HTTP progressive as well as multicast streams.
Download the Strobe media playback from http://www.osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html , host it on a webserver and launch in a broswer.
launch either strobemediaplayback.html or setup.html to setup your own player with different settings.
Thank you !

Embedding Strobe Media Player into Websites

Hello,
I am using the Strobe Media Player and want to have it so that using visiting my website can copy an embed code and use the player in their site.
Does Strobe Media Player have this capability or do I need to build it in myself?
Thanks

Hi,
this functionality is not present in the player itself, but you can use the code from the setup.html page that uses JS to generate the embed code from a set of parameters as a starting point.

Strobe media player with aspnet

I want to use strobe media player with my aspnet application. Can I access it on server side. I want to read one video at one time and display using strobe media player. Also I want to control current position of the video from server side. Truly it feels like I want to use Strobe media player as Windows media player in visual studio. Can anyone has some idea..please.

You can control SMP via JavaScript, so if your app can dynamically write values to the JavaScript used in the app, then you should be fine.

How to parse HDS Live fragments in Strobe Media Player and read "mdat"

Hi,
Can any one please tell me how can I parse HDS Live fragmnent "mdat" in Strobe Media Playback.? My requirements is to add CC on SMP from HDS live fragments data.
Please advise.
Best regards,

QuickTime will not play MPEG-2 content, streaming or otherwise, without the addition of the extra-cost MPEG-2 Playback Component. Even with that component, QuickTime cannot play all MPEG-2 streams. Read the FAQ carefully for details.

Urgent requirement on adding context menu in strobe media player

i want add fullscreen and scale mode in strobe player context menu.. i have added these menu items to context menu in videoInfoOverlay action sctipt.
but i dont know how to add code for full screen in context menu click event.. what code i have to add into it? this is very urgent requirement.. can anyone know?

Silviu,
Thanks for the quick response. I had not seen the building-osmf.pdf file before. Upon quick inspection it seems to be based on CS5 and not CS5.5 and the font issue that I am running into does not seem to be mentioned in the document. Once I figure out the font issue I'm having, I'll update this thread.
Regards,
Tim

What you can build in one year with Strobe Media Player (SMP)

Hi, thanks to all the hard working folk at Adobe who've been kind enough to let people like myself build commercial applications using SMP. I just wanted to share a link to my new facebook application that I've been building for the past year using SMP. I could not have been able to do it without SMP as I needed a free, high end, flexible API video player to do it with.
Again thankyou, and I'll be sure to provide a link to SMP on my site.
Here's the link to my facebook application using SMP:
http://apps.facebook.com/pazooza/Video/View/21?VideoID=1
Please note: It's a facebook application so it will ask you for some basic permissions just click yes :-)
Regards

I have a lot of code that doesn't need to be checked for errors, so I don't know if I should pull that code out and do multiple try catch statements or just leave it like this...if this makes sense for the program logic you are going for then yes it is ok. I would say though the there should only be one try-catch block per thrower because theoretically each exception thrown has a different meaning for what your program should do in response.

Can you count? If so, count the difference between the two posts in the thread you just quoted and our posts. Does that tell you anything?

PC Suite/Nokia Music Crashes Windows media Player

Vista X64 SP1
PC suite 7.1.30.9
nokia music 1.3.20722.01
After downloading, installing and running these programs yesterday I got a message saying 'Windows media player has stopped working, I haven't loaded windows media player, so presumably this is down to the music application. After I receive this message I can't run media player, or winamp until I restart my computer.
After a restart if I load winamp before nokia music it plays fine, I get the error message but winamp keeps working, but if I close it and try and open it it won't load again.
It's pretty weak that these applications are preventing other software on my computer from working, I mean it's not like media player and winamp are obscure programs.
Has anyone else had this or know of a way to fix it.

I have a similar problem. When I connect my E52 to my PC in "PC Suite" mode (USB/or Bluetooth) the currently running WinAmp will be crash in a few secounds. If I try to restart it, the same will happen as long as the phone connected. This poblem exits on both of my computers (on has Win XP, the oder has VIsta on it)

Windows Media Player for Windows 7 corupted and will not open

My Windows media player was working until just recently I got this Notice.
The file wmploc.dll has version number of 12,0,7601.18150 where 12,0,7601,17514 was expected.
Windows media player is not installed properly and must be reinstalled.
Do you want to install the player from Microsoft web SIte? I have gone to web site and it will not download.
For Windows 7 Home Premium. the download says that my computer in no combatable.

Hi，
Windows Media Player 12 is compatible with Windows 7, other editions will be not compatible, so where did you download this WMP?
In addition to the solutions provided by Balaji Kundalam, you can also try this,
If you have any other 3 rd party music player installed, I suggest you uninstall them first, cause some 3 badly code program can cause the corruption of WMP, then go to Control Panel\Programs and features\Turn Windows Feature on or off, scroll down
to Media Feature, untick it, restart your PC, then go to the same place, re-tick this option, restart PC.
If for some reason the re-installation of WMP is not clean, once uninstalled, try go to %ProgramFiles% (and %ProgramFiles(x86)% for 64-bit OS) folder, and delete the Windows Media Player folder.

Java / Flash / Real Player / Media Player

Will there be/Is there a download of any of the above mentioned programs for the iPhone?

Apple hasnt made any official announcements. There are a lot of rumors floating around the internet. You can Google for "iPhone updates" or "iPhone rumors" and entertain yourself for a couple of hours reading some interesting (and some ridiculous) stuff.
With the iPod function being the primary media player on the iPhone, I seriously doubt there is room for any other media player. And until Apple makes an announcement, we have very little (if anything) to go on.

Windows update KB2847077 messes up Media Player settings

Windows update KB2847077
causes Media Player 12.07601.17514 to lose track of all settings and libraries
Double clicking on a video media - opens a first time window that asks to use recommended or custom settings.
(this is catastrophic for me as I use Media Player's DLNA connectivity)
This has happened twice to me - first from a standard Windows Update (yesterday 12/11/2013) - I had to do a system restore to before the update, then figured out that it was KB2847077 - so updated everything else except for KB2847077 - my PC and media player
were just fine after the restart.
Last night for some reason that update was installed again, from one of my vulnerability scans (despite me specifically hiding it in Windows Update) - so this morning my Media Player was messed up again - did another system restore before that module update,
and everything is back to normal again.
Thanks
Vincent

Hi,
Do you have the issue described in the KB?
You install Internet Explorer 10 on a Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer.
You configure the AutoPlay feature so that Windows automatically uses Windows Media Player to play audio CDs.
You insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM device, and then Windows Media Player starts.
If not, we can choose to hide the update.
Control Panel>System and Security>Windows Update>Check for update>right the update and choose Hide Update.
If you want to see the update later, on the main Windows Update page, choose Restore Hidden update.
Otherwise we can refer to the following article to fix the issue caused by windows update.

What is the plug-in for media player for wondows 7 ?

my local TV station says that I need a media player add-on and it only list apps for xp and vista I have windows 7 what do I need?

Is it looking for the Windows Media Player? The default installation of WMP does not include the Firefox plugin. There is a WMP plugin created by Microsoft for Firefox, but the standard WMP plugin installer from Microsoft is for Windows XP and Vista, though you can run the installer on Windows 7 it installs the plugin in a location that Firefox 4 will not find.
One way to get around this is to install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in available from http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin
That add-on will do 2 things, it will install the WMP plugin in a location that Firefox 4 on Windows 7 can find, it will also add an extension to add extra features for use by the Windows Media Player. This extension has been reported as causing memory leaks so I recommend that once you install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox Plug-in you should restart Firefox then uninstall the extension. Uninstalling the extension will not remove the plugin, so Firefox 4 will still be able to use it.

Online Code Walk-Through Wednesday on How To Build an OSMF Player Strobe Media Playback

Wednesday November 17 at 12:00 noon PDT the OSMF User Group is hosting an online code walk-through of the open source Strobe Media Playback video player codebase.
The code walk-through will be lead by Andrian Cucu who is Adobe's Project Leader on the Flash and Strobe Media Playback video player project.
To join, just go to the following link at the meeting time to join the OSMF User Group's Connect room:
http://experts.na3.acrobat.com/osmf/
For further details and to RSVP see the following link:
http://osmf.groups.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=post.display&postid=30846
** ALL ARE WELCOME! **
** PLEASE FORWARD THIS MEETING NOTICE TO ALL WHO YOU THINK MAY BE INTERESTED! **

The player supports both standard and advanced delivery methods, including progressive download, RTMP streaming,
RTMP dynamic streaming, HTTP streaming, HTTP dynamic streaming, and live streaming. Flash Media Playback
1.5 and Strobe Media Playback 1.5 also provide support for RTMFP multicast content delivery.
While RTMP(x) streaming are FMS content delivery technologies, the player can also be used with other FMS compatible streaming servers, such as Wowza or Red5.
In the case you do not need the use of FMS streaming functionality, progressive download is always an alternative (what this means is that all you need is a video that can be served by a webserver like apache, nginx, lightypd, etc).
As for how the player can be used, these links are allways a good place to start and get a better idea of what it is all about:
