Windows Browsing Into A Live QT Stream

Windows Browsing Into A Live QT Stream
Let’s face it. Most of the world is using Windows browsers. I, however, am a Macite using Macintosh and Panther Server to stream.
What can I do in my offering webpage and in my stream to make it foolproof and easy for Windows browsers to watch my live stream?
The rumor is that all Windows boxes have QuickTime buried somewhere in them. I’m not so sure of that. Even if they do the user might have to dig for it and install it. Not an easy task for most Windows users.
We do know that Windows boxes have Microsoft Media Player and maybe RealPlayer.
I’d like to set up a webpage that (1) allows Mac users to click their icon to begin watching my live QT stream and (2) allows Windows users to click their icon on the same page to begin watching the same live stream with whatever players they have.
I have used Safari to browse into some neat news channel websites to watch really good streaming. I just know that these sites have contemplated both Mac and Windows. I have viewed the website code for these pages and have seen amazing things. It’s mostly over my head.
It’s going to save me a lot of time and trouble if you can point me to how to solve this problem. I’m sure that this wheel has been invented many times.
Merrily, merrily gently down the stream.
John the Macite

I never got a reply to this one.

How to enable live audio streaming in FF running Windows 7

I am unable to listen to live audio streams, please help !

Which plugin is used for those streams?
Your More system details list shows the WMP plugin and the Flash plugin as commonly used plugins to play streams.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream in FMS?

I need to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream so that i can pass this stream as input to VOIP through a softphone.
For this i tried the following approach:
Created a new stream (str1) on FMS onAppStart and recorded the live streams (sent throgh microphone) in that new stream.
Below is the code :
application.onAppStart = function()
application.myStream=Stream.get("foo");
application.myStream.record();
application.onPublish = function (client,stream)
      var streamName = stream.name;
      application.myStream.play(streamName,-2,-1};
The problem is that the Stream.play plays only 1 live stream at a time.As soon as a the 2nd live stream is sent to FMS then Stream.play stops playing the previous live stream.So,only the latest live stream is getting recorded.Whereas i need to record all the live streams in the new stream simultaneously.
Any pointers regarding this are welcome.
Thanks

well i tried this once for one of my scripts and the final conclusion is its not possible to combine two streams into 1.....how would you time/encode the two voices......there is no know solution to this in flash. If you continue on despite me and find a solution please post it so we can explain to rest of world.

Trying to listen to a live music stream on Firefox....Help?

I'm new to this aspect of the internet, so here goes. I was given a port 8000 address for a live music stream by a trusted staff member of a chat site, along with everyone else, via global/general chat. According to chat, everyone else was hearing music via their web browser (Firefox for some, Chrome for others) but when I entered the given address into the address bar, it took me to a blank page (but with the port 8000 address still in the bar), and asked me if I wanted to open the "file" with windows media player or save it. I tried opening it first, eventually backed out and tried saving it, but both methods resulted in Firefox downloading an ever-expanding file, because it wasn't a preset file, but a live music stream being uploaded and played at the same time. I feel left out, because a few days later (and again after another few days) this person did some more live streams, and each time I got the same problem, only the first time it was on the old family desktop, and the second and third times it was on a new laptop. The desktop has Windows Vista, with a Celeron processor, and Firefox version 21.; the laptop had Windows 8 with a Dual Core processor, and also Firefox version 21.
Is there some setting I have to fix, or do I need a special add-on?

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Flash Player - LIVE Stereo Streaming Upload?

Hi all,
Is Flashplayer 12 (for streaming live uploads) mono only?
I run a music studio and have been instigating live video/audio concert streams from our facility - especially mixing multiple microphone inputs to a stereo output via a studio console back into the computer for audio streaming.
We have been using Concert Window (www.concertwindow.com) for our shows - but I noticed that the Flashplayer 12.0.0.70 that is used in Concert Window to setup video and audio streams IGNORES the right channel of my audio feed.
This is regardless of whether I use my iMac's stereo line in, and Avid MBox2 USB audio interface, or an RME Fireface 800.
If I use Flash Media Live Encoder it streams audio in stereo fine - but not so the in-app setup in Concert Window.
I can select the audio devices connected under the "microphone input"on the Flashplayer window in Concert Window etc, but to no avail can I get it to stream the right channel.
As FMLE works fine, I assume this is an issue with Flash 12 on the Concert Window site - or is this a limitation?
System specs:
iMac running OSX 10.6.8
Firefox 27.0.1, Chrome 33.0.1750.117 or Safari 5.1.10 all running Adobe Flash 12.0.0.70
any advice greatly appreciated
Barks

Hi Mike, thanks for getting back.
The problem is I am inputting a Live audio feed with video. Are you streaming live from camera videos with audio - all real time?
I put up the mics and the band plays. While they are playing it is broadcast with video via Concert Window. There is no rendering as the stream is not recorded - it is a real time transmission that viewers elsewhere can interact with.
It works fine on both channles going into my computer then into Flash Media Live Encoder and broadcast. FMLE seems to be fussy with external USB cameras.
The issue is the way it is broadcast via Flash 12.0.0.70 in Concert Window (see pic above) Only the left channel is accepted.
I tried the stand alone but cannot see how I can test a Live (not a recorded file or rendered file) input with it?

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

Why can't I drag and drop images from the browser into other programs?

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 4 (even after I upgraded again to Firefox 5) I have been unable to drag images from the browser into other programs, including MS Paint and IcoFx. I receive an error message stating that the file (the address given lists it as being located in the temporary files folder) cannot be found.
Prior to this I had always been able to conveniently drag and drop images for easy editing without having to save first and then open them. This feature is important to me, as I work with graphics very often, and is still available in Chrome and Internet Explorer. I love Firefox though, and hope that there is something I can do to fix the problem.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Z10 vs H264 Live Smooth Streaming under IIS 7 and Expression Encoder 4

Hello all,
First, sorry about my english, I habitually speak french.
I just got my Z10 today and I'm trying to figure out how to stream live to that kind of device via Live Smooth Streaming, running on a win2k8 server feeded by MS Expression Encoder 4 (w/ H264 codec). I'm very far to be a developper or programmer, but I'm actually able to push streams for different devices, such as Windows Mobile and iOS devices since 3 years. I configured a new stream with different recommended specs supported by the Z10, but it always returns me than "this type of media is not supported and cannot be played". By example, in Expression I use a profile named "H264 Low Bandwidth" with these preconfigured standards settings:
H.264 Baseline Level 1,3
Video: CBR-1pass, 30fps, 347kbps, 364x272
Audio: AAC-LC, stereo 128k, 44khz, 16bps)
I tried so much settings in video and/or audio without succes than I started to think that I'm too stupid to understand what's going on! I'm absolutely following the medias specs on https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/develop/supported_media/bb10_media_support.html
In an IOS situation, I push the code like: http://10.10.10.200/campus.isml/manifest(format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8 where (format=m3u8-aapl).m3u8 is especially the part that an idevice recognizes. I removed this part, remove only the (.) content, removed the manifest word, removed all and so on. Never been able to got a single image or a sound.
Is there an option like (format=somethingelse) that I need to type somewhere? Please don't answer me to google it, I already asked 100 times to google and read tons of pages and I know it's very annoying for expert if the question was answered somewhere else (which I didn't found...) but I needs a hint.
Thank you!

Hi, everything in the "Quick Reference" section should be commented out with ;
You should change those settings further down in the php.ini file.
Example:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = Off

Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player. It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams. It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux. I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com
To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to: http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
You need to add this setting:
dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

Live Flash Streams issue on Multiple Macs - video frozen, audio only

With live Flash streams on some Macs, the video doesn't play and only the audio does (or more accurately, the video plays for a second or so and then shows a frozen frame while the audio keeps going). We've had this occur on three different Macs so far, but not all Macs we've tested on. We were able to look up the graphics cards on two of them that had issues and they both have both NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT listed in the System Profiler.
Having the user manually disable hardware acceleration fixes the issue, as does pausing and then playing the video. Running Safari in 32 bit mode did NOT fix the issue.
Flash player release notes list this as a known issue. When might a patch for be released? We don't want to disable hardware acceleration for all Mac users because it only affects some of them and thus some / many would be unnecessarily negatively impacted.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90194.html#main_known%20issues
Mac users may run into rendering issues with certain live streams due to an incompatibility between the stream encoding and the hardware decoder. We are aware of this issue and are working with Apple to resolve it. Users may workaround the issue by pausing and then unpausing the live stream. Developers can work around this issue by forcing the video to be decoded in software - create two Video objects, attach the stream to the first, then stop it and attach the stream to the second Video object (2819870, 2818959, 2779420).

From Brad Outlaw:
Are you reusing the same Video object for the new NetStreams? Have you tried doing a Video.attachNetStream(null), Video.clear() and then attaching the new (or re-allocated) NetStream object? The video pipeline might be playing out some residual data that was sent to it from the prior NetStream.
Adding those suggestions seems have have done the trick. I had simply been trying to manipulate the NetStream and not the Video. Although I did try attaching a null NetStream to the video at one point, I had not done so with the Video.clear().

Open the external URL in another tab of window browser

Hi,
I have create application to open the external URl into new window browser by using CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW method. now how can i open this url into same window tab. is there any method that allow me to open this external URL into window tab.
Thanks,
Digamber.

The open external window API doesn't support specifying "in another tab". That is completely browser specific! Some browsers don't even have tabbed browsing.[ I don't even think that even javascript has this functionality!|http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-19843.html]
You'll not be able to do this. Sorry.
You might be able to change the browser configuration so that it defaults new windows into a new tab... But not through WD.
Cheers,
Chris

FMS3: Multiple live video streams

Hi,
After reading the features and documentation I have a doubt:
Can I have multiple live video streams with FMSS at the same time?
E.g.: Different TV stations broadcast to a single server, and
then the user chooses what station wants to watch.
Thanks,
Oriol

Contact them and ask them which video streaming standards they use. The most popular are:
Windows Media, Windows Media with DRM enabled, MPEG-4, Realplayer, Adobe Flash, and Silverlight. Microsoft has released a Silverlight update for Lion. http://www.flip4mac.com/ allows native non-DRM Windows Media. Alternatively, you may need virtualization*. Realplayer's latest update is Lion compatible. MPEG-4 make sure the version of Quicktime you have installed is the latest. Adobe's Flash, the same thing. Also ask them if their website depends on ActiveX. Again, with ActiveX, virtualization may be your only solution.

Many live MBR streams, as parallel elements through same player

In case of dynamic number of live MBR streams (different cameras of same event), I'll prefer to use parallel element and run all streams through same instance of media player - mostly because of time synchronization and QoS management...
Every stream have 4-5 bandwidth variations, and lowest is for "inactive" thumb video state.
Is there a way to dynamically change bitrate setup of single stream in parallel element?
I'm trying to limit (or cancel) switching for streams while they thumbs, and vice versa.
