Web Stream Player In Flash
Hey, I am running Winamp/Shoutcast, streaming audio! You can listen by, tuning in to the iport/listen.pls - Such audio players you can use are winamp, real audio, etc...

I would like a flash player, like http://www.radiotakeover.com - where you can tune into the stream, which is embedded in flash, with controls... they use the shockwave plugin, so I am assuming they did it in director- remember, it needs to play the listen.pls, not actual mp3 files.

I am willing to compensate and or host you.

Live MP3 Stream Player
Hi,

I wrote a simple function which connect to an mp3 streaming radio.
It works fine with flash player 6 under windows but not under pocket PC.
Under PPC it make connection to server, start buffering but never start to play.

Another strange thing under windows XP (not pocket pc). It works when opened with standalone player but not in internet explorer. It works under mozilla.

The script is :

ActionScript Code:
_soundbuftime = 1; // do not change problem
mp3 = new Sound();
mp3.loadSound( "http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1040", true );

[HELP] How To Stream FLV On Flash Player 6
Hi,

I follow the guide, using NetConnection and Netstream to stream my FLV video. However, it cannot work in Flash Player 6 r79, which is the final release of Flash Player 6

According to guide, it only works if using Flash Communication Server, I just using usual http server stream, so it only works on Flash Player 7 and above.

Is there any alternative it also supports Flash Player 6?

Thanks.

How To? Flash Online Stream Player
Hello,

I have recently started learning Flash and XML and this site has proven to be the best resource for me. Simply to understand and easy to follow.
However, I have a request from anyone. I need to design a flash player with a graphic layout I have already got. It should be able to read a radio stream and display the song played from that API (feed).

Layout: Code:

http://i31.tinypic.com/qqzaps.jpg

The API/XML info would be in a URL. Example:

Code:

http://stream.example.com/api_public.php

The contents of the URL above will look similar to:

Code:

<result>
<nowplaying>Bob Marley - Warno More Trouble</nowplaying>
<countdown_hours>0</countdown_hours>
<countdown_minutes>3</countdown_minutes>
<nextshow_dj>MD101</nextshow_dj>
<nextshow_name>MD101 Rock Show</nextshow_name>
<nextshow_time>22:00</nextshow_time>
<gentime>0.0021s</gentime>
</result>

So I was really looking for some insight on how to approach this and the best way to get it done.

I really hope to hear from someone.

Regards,

Flash Mp3 Player, Change Stream Rate Or Something
Hello people.

Need your help with something please.

Got a site that I am building.
Its pretty cool, but has its problems:
http://www.checkmatemuzik.net/test1/main4.html

No preloaders work with it for some reason,
I am thinking that this may be due to it loading
its news from RSS feed (yes the one on there is
currently macromedia, I will be changing soon).
It just shows a black screen, if you know anything
about that, it would be helpful.

My main concern is the mp3 player.

Its got this script:

Now I don't know what bit of that is important, I have deleted
many features of the mp3 player such as equaliser etc.

But anyway: The mp3 player works perfectly when the user has
broadband. But with narrowband, it goes start, stop, start, stop
etc. (this is not due to the mp3s which are demos, I have tried
with smaller file sizes etc).

Any idea how I can change the point at which it starts to play the song? currently it is when it is about 8% loaded.

Also, any idea how I can make it autoplay? the instance name of the
play button is play_btn the code should help with this. I have deleted the code for pause, stop, next and previous as otherwise the code was over the limit for this board.


I know that this is a big task. But if someone can help then I will
send some money via paypal or something.

Thanks

Understanding MP3 Stream In Flash8? Finding The Right Player
Hi there,

Can someone point me to a free(if possible)MP3 streamer player to study it.

I want to be able to load many of my songs (30+) so peoples can listen to them.
So, I need a kind of scroll bar-selection of track area /start/stop/volume etc.
I know there are lots of free ones out there but, I dont quiet understand how to organise my tracks.

At the moment I have a simple start button for each track then a general Pause and stop.
Soon the page will be covered with "start" button which is why I am looking at a player
I hope this make sense and thank you for your help

Many thanks

How To Detect Video Stream Freeze In Player
Hello,

I have a video player which plays only live streams. The stream could contain audio / video or audio only. I am seeing an intermittant freeze only in the video. I am not able to track down the source of the freeze. If I restart the player everything works fine. The audio does not have any problem, even when the video is frozen.

I am trying to find out if there is any way to detect that video streaming has frozen in the player. I am thinking that if I can detect that video streaming is frozen, I could silently restart the player.

Is there a way to detect this video freeze?

Thanks,
-Jayant.

Freeware/Commercial Stream Flash Player
Hi guys
I wonder if someone knows about the existence of a sound player (in flash) which would support this stream:

http://www.cadenavida.com/vida.m3u

The stream is generated by L I V E 365 website

Now the website has a link to get the m3u file and load winamp, etc. but I'd like to put a flash player in website, which loads instantly...

I know this would make L I V E 365 servers to blow, but well, website has not more than 10 live users in any moment..

Thanks a lot in advance 4 any help you can give me.

Flash Player Version For Recorded Stream Playback
I'm having difficulty to determine which flash player version is required by users when playing FLV files using the video object in flash (so no fancy FLV playback components). I've read that thare ar basically 2 codec for FLV files, Sorenson an On2, and that Sorenson is supported from Flash player 6 and upwards and On2 from Flash player 8 and upwards, but what codec is used when just playing flv files that were recorded by Flash Media Server and playing is in a "simple" video object.? Or can i just use the publishing settings and set it to player 6 and thats it? (To be absolutely clear: I am not encoding the flv files with an encoder, i just play back the flv streams recorded by Flash Media Server itself)

Firefox/flash Player Video Stream Shudder Problem?
I have found on my site and a few others that the recent flash player on firefox (or recent update version of firefox) doesn’t stream flash movies properly - it jerks and shudders, when using good old setBufferTime property on video stream.

examples of what i mean:

If anyone has any knowledge why and what can be done to get around it, please feel free to share!

Thanks a million

Player Stopps While Playing Big "data Only" Stream
I developped 2 applications. The first one creates a "data only" (NS.send()) stream. The second one, running on a different machine plays it back. While recording the stream and playing it back live, everything worked fine. In order to replay the stream at a later time i chose the "record" option. In my Media Server Application Folder several up to 4 GB (8 hours) files were created. When I try to replay the recorded streams with my second application, the player halts after several seconds. I have to mention that the stream is not constantly filled with data, there may be gaps of several seconds maybe even minutes.

I get the following NS status notifications:
Netstream.play.reset
Netstream.play.start
(NS.myfunction invoked a few times)
Netstream.Buffer.full
(NS.myfunction invoked several times)
Netstream.Play.Stop (no reason)
(NS.myfunction invoked several times)
Netstream.Buffer.flush
(NS.myfunction invoked several times)
Netstream.Buffer.empty

Sound - Event Vs. Stream (stream Quality Problem)
Hey Guys,

I've got a flash piece with various MP3's that I have playing throughout. When I set it to stream within Flash, it sounds great. However when I publish the SWF and play it solely in the Flash viewer, the audio is significantly worse. If I go back into Flash and set the audio type to "event", it sounds great again. The problem is I need to keep the audio streaming.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks Much.

FMS 3 - Stream.play() For Recorded Stream Returns False
I have a custom app and when trying to playback a recorded stream using the Stream.play(streamName, startOffset, -1), the result returned is always false, below is some sample codes:
flvPlay = Stream.get("myFLVSession");
flvPlay.onStatus = function(info){
trace("> Status code: " + info.code + " Level: " + info.level + " Stream: " +info.details);
};
stat = flvPlay.play("myFLV", startOffset, -1);

When I prints out stat, it returns false, and the status callback will print:
> Status code: NetStream.Play.Failed Level: error Stream: undefined

Even if I try flvPlay.play("myFLV");, the return status is still false. However, the video will be able to continue playing, anyone face similar problem before?

The same application runs in FMS 2 with return status=true, but not in FMS 3, though the playback still can proceed, but it won't start at the offset I specified, and since the return status is false, why can the playback still proceed?

Thanks in advance for any pointer on this.

Can I Insert An Extra Audio Stream Into The Live Stream?
I have a project where I need to set up a broadcast (from pre-recorded files) so people can 'tune in' at a certain time to watch a show. Some of these shows should have a soundtrack, can I use SSAS to overlay an extra audio stream? So I would send one video and two audio streams out to the client as one stream.

Alternatively, can I use SSAS to replace the audio, so effectively demux the original audio off and send out a different audio stream in its place.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Character Mouth Synching--stream Or Not To Stream?
Hi-
I was curious to see if streaming is preferred when synching mouths to voiceovers in an animation. I always chose "Event" by default, but find that it doesn't play well, particulalrly when the server is active.

I saw on Macromedia's site that to "stream or not to stream" depends on several factors and that it is a matter of trial and error.

Any advice?

Thanks!!

STREAM From File, NO STREAM From Server Why?
I have a Flash Communication Server set up by (mt) for my site.
After using the fantastically-simple dinamically played .flv file, with progressive download, I wanted to try the real rtmp streaming.

I set everything as it has to be (in the client, there is no server code), and things appear to work: the NetConnection and NetStream objects give all the good status info.

BUT

No darn sound or image are output by the flash movie! If I try *echoing* all the NetStream properties it looks like it's completely dead (just as before using the .play() code).
what da hell!

by the way, I can see from my lan switch that the stream take place, because there is data passing through to my computer from the server.


Does anybody know why?

I tried all of these:

.play("mp3:mySong"); <-- returns an error;
.play("mySong.mp3"); <-- starts playing;
.play("mySong"); <-- starts playing;
.play("myVideo"); <-- starts playing;
.play("myVideo.flv"); <-- starts playing;

Can Stream LIVE, But Can't Stream FLV -=
Hi there. Pulling out my hair...and i'm bald enough already!

I built a FLA that streams live from the FME - works great.

Cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the FLVPlayback (or anything for that matter) to stream a regular FLV.

Any help would be SO helpful!!

My fms and flv set up - ... applications/playapp/play.flv (also put in streams folder and _definst_ folder with play.flv in there just in case)

in the source, I have tried all variations - but is currently: rtmp://edge2.xxx.net/playapp/instance1

It demands an instance name, even though I don't know how that works (i know i put the source in FME with that, but this is an already made FLV).

Sincere thanks -
adam

To Stream Or Not To Stream?
Hi,

I'm working on a project that includes a background music loop and I've tried various techniques for the sound both as a streaming sound and event loop. Both have caused me problems and I'm just wondering what the general consensus is on the best solution.

I'm loading the music.swf into a blankMC which resides in home.swf and I also have a volume/balance slider to control the sound.

I'm currently trying to use an event sound which has linkage but the linkage is making the whole movie wait while it forces the sound object to load first.

What's the best way of having background music without this delay?

Thanks

Mp3 Stream
I was trying out some streaming with sound
I thought that

_soundbuftime = 10

was going to make sure that when I stream a mp3, it buffers 10 seconds before it starts.
the mp3 is loaded into an empty mc.

when I test the movie and set the bandwidth to lets say 56K, should the sound wait for 10 seconds before it starts playing ??

btw, using MX here

---

END OF STREAM?
Hey I posted this link before at the MX forum but got no response so I'll try it in here...!

Is there some code that can detect the end of an mp3 stream and via AS tell a MC to start playing when the stream (a song) has finished?

THANKS

This is the code I use to start the stream:

on (release) {

stopAllSounds();

coolsound = new sound('containerMC');

coolsound.loadSound('http://www.mothersfinest.net/mp3/youlllikeithear.mp3', true);

coolsound.start(0, 0);

_soundbuftime = 4;

Stream
Hi,
I'm creating a site for a music artist, and I realized I only know how to get music to play in the flash player. But the right way to do it would be to stream the music so that people can hear the real thing through their own music players, but not be able to download it.
Can someone tell me how I get an mp3 to stream? Or where i can find information on how to do it?

Thanks

Stream Mp3
I have a problem with soundbuftime. I used the search engine and found answers but cannot make this work. I would like to delay a mp3 for say, 6 seconds. this is one that is streamed. I have no problem getting the stream to work, but the soundbuftime is ignored. So can someone actually post a working example with falsh MX? I know catbert and iaskwhy have helped me with this in the past.

What is used in the main timeline frame is:

s = new Sound(this);
s.loadSound("filename.mp3", true);
_soundbuftime = 10; // buffer for 10 seconds The link is

What's The Best Way To Stream?
Hi,
I was just wandering if anyone had any good tips on successful streaming or maybe someone could explain it to me a little bit?!

Ive just designed a website for our company that works pretty well as it is but i want to improve on it a little. My site is all about the animation from one piece of work to the other and instead of just jumping to a desired point ive animated things to make it smoother. But in doing so i think I may have shot myself in the foot for when I want to expand on the site and maybe make it bigger.

At the moment ive set up a main index page that contains all my navigational buttons and a blank movie clip that loads each of my sections. There are a number of frames within my index page that hold snap shots of of the site so that when i jump to a specific keyframe and load a movie there is no pause or brief blankness where the movie would load into a blank keyframe. Does that make sense?!! This is basically the way ive gone about streaming my site but im not sure that it's the right way to do things.

Can anyone please give me some advice? Is there some way of getting rid of all these snap shots so that when I load one of my movies into a keyframe there is no blank pause becuase it has no content? Has this got something to do with making the movie wait till it's fully loaded before playing?

p.s. if you want to look at the site here's the address to our test version.

www.vermilionuk.com/test

let me know what you think, any tips for improvement are welcome. This is my first site so go easy on me!!

How To Stream A SWF (SWF To FLV)
Hi, this may be a ver noob question.

I am using Flash 8 and actionscript 2.0

I would like to get my swf streamed in order to avoid preloaders because my swf is a presentation and I would like it to start to run as soon as possible.

The swf is going to be on a web server and be played directly full screen in a flash player.

Somebody knows if I can stream the swf like a flv to smooth the waiting time
for start.

Thanks

Stream Flv From Fms
I am on a 1.5mb connection with a 7mb flv file on the fms server and the stream is awful. stop start stutter stutter.
It really is un-watchable.

If i set flvPlayBack isLive to "true" then the flv want load. It will only load if isLive is set to false witch contradicts what the doc's say.

I tried to increase the bufferTime to see if that would help but with no joy.

any help or advice very much appreciated
