Stream Mp3 Radio
Ok, so after visiting http://www.kennybellew.com/tutorial/ I e-mailed him with a flash question. Then I read the blurb @ the top that said he didn't have time to answer sound questions, and that I should post them here. Here is my question:
One question I have is, can you stream mp3 radio? I mean, like an mp3 radio station on winamp.com. I want to make my own radio station, but I want to use darwin streaming server, which allows an mp3 player to stream (such as winamp or quicktime) as opposed to flash which just downloads a file and then plays it. Do you know if this is possible? Thanks.

Trying To Stream A Radio Station.
Trying to stream a radio station through a flash player.

Currently you have to use winamp or something to play it.

I downloaded a couple of test streaming players from here, and they work if I run the SWF directly. But if I upload it to a server and open it via embed on an HTML, it doesn't play.

Any ideas? Anything you would like to know?

Web Radio Getting Stream Info
I'm trying to retrieve the (id3?) info from a streaming web radio in Flash. Say I have a connection to http://scfire-dll-aa04.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1022 to stream live radio from in Flash. It's no problem setting up the Sound and SoundChannel objects. The problem is trying to retrieve the ID3-tag for the stream, since the event Event.ID3 is never triggered. (This probably has to do with the fact that the file never fully loads.)

Is there any other way to get the stream info?

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 SWF
We have several large SWF files that were developed using Flash Captivate. Some of these files run for 20 minutes, so we are thinking of getting a Flash Media Streaming Server. Will the FMS play a SWF that was generated from Capitavate or do these files need to be converted to FLV format. If so, what is the best means to do so.

Thanks for your help.

How Can I Stream An M3u?
Hi,

I wish to create a player in Flash that can stream this file:

http://www.radionorthwickpark.org/li...ms/rnplive.m3u

In the Flash file I can either hyperlink it as above, or link to the actual m3u file on the server (as this is my site).

What is the best way to create this. My Flash skills are ok, but not advanced by any means. If anyone has an FLA out there that can do this and they can post here, that would be much appreciated...or just advising me would be great!

Thanks in advance,
Matt
