Flash :: Live Flash Streaming For 3rd Party Programme

3rd Party Flash Streaming Service?
Im looking for a 3rd party service which will allow me to remotely stream high quality video (and audio), which I can embed into a website. The video has to be private, so the only way you can view the stream is if you are viewing it from the site that has the coded embedded into it. Free or paid services are fine.

Its going to be used for cams, where people have to have a valid membership to a site in order to view it.

Can anyone suggest something like this?

Stream Video From 3rd Party Streaming Service
The company I work for pays a 3rd Party for streaming services. Usually it is displayed through Windows Media Player etc. I would like to use a video file from the 3rd party service in a Flash application I am building.

At first I thought it would be as easy as imputing the url of the video stream into the Flash Media Encoder but that didn't work. I guess when you select "Already deployed to a web server..." the extension has to be .flv or.xml. The reason I don't just deploy the video from our server is that the IT director is afraid that the large file could clog up the bandwidth.

So the question is this, can I use a url such as, http://www.domainname.net/company/...MEDIA_ID=571166&MEDIA_EXTENSION=asf&MODULE=ANGRC
as the source of a .flv file? If so, how?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,

Live Streaming In Flash?
hello again!

i was wondering if i could play a .m3u file from flash.

The site is about a radio station in Greece and there is an option in the site to listen live to the station. the file is .m3u and by default opens in winamp. Can i make it play from within the movie (maybe with loadSound? ) . Or if i need to encode the stream in a different format what this should be and how can i do it?

thanx in advance

PS: the site is currently here : http://fm1.teiher.gr for testing purposes.

Live Streaming Using Webcam And Flash 2.0
I'm workin on a project and we've come up with the concept of using a webcam to stream live feeds onto a big screen T.V.

It's an interactive project and we want to get the user to be able to move a snow globe with his/her body movement whilst also relaying an image of himself/herself into the snow globe. Although problem being is we dont know where to start with the actionscript 2.0 side of things.

Can anyone help please or point in the right direction. Thanks

Multiple Live Streaming Video In Flash?
Hello Everyone,

I have this project in mind which I want to create a video montage of different live streaming videos from a few different users with their webcam in different locations. There will be the website which the participants will be able to view the live video montage in real time. However, I am unsure of where to start with (live video & server). Therefore I will be really thrilled if someone knows an example similar to this or someone who can offer me a lead in this topic!!

I have knowledge in flash and abit of actionscripting.

Much THANKS!!

Flash Live Streaming Encoder Question
Does flash8 pro encode STREAMING video as VP6 or Sorenson?
Non live streaming is VP6, but there seems to be no conclusive answer as to whether live streaming uses the same encoder.
I guess not, otherwise something like on2 flix live would have no reason to exist if you already own flash pro...

Streaming Live Audio In A Flash Movie
Hi, I'm working on a website for a local radio station, and I want to be able to stream a live audio feed of the radio station to a flash movie. Right now all I really know is that the URL to get this live feed is http://kpacradio.pacific.edu:8000 - if you put that into Windows Media Player it will start the radio broadcast. Is it possible to play this through flash so that the user can just stream it from a website rather than having to introduce windows media player into it? Thanks a lot.

Live Streaming Video Feeds With Flash Player?
Hi,

I have a website that shows live TV feeds (such as MTV uber, Weather Plus, BBC News, etc). This is all handled by windows media player implanted onto a web page. However, I am looking to have a flash player developed that will handle the same thing. I googled for it and couldn't find anything that would do the job. Does anyone know if this is possible? To have a flash player handle live mms:// or .asx (etc) feeds not provided by the same server the flash player is on?

Flash Cache Crash - Bringing In Streaming Live Broadcast Mp3
Hello All,

Anyone know how to stream in a 'live' broadcast, ie. radio station feed, properly without using the Media components? It's not that they don't work well, I would just like to have more flexibility in designing my interface controls, and the current Media components don't support skining. Just wondering if a solid stream can be constructed, without overloading the processor cache, using NetConnection/NetStream/SoundObject constructors? It seems as though, most documentation is concerned with bringing in only short clips/songs streamed one at a time?

Thanks folks!

[CS3] Live Streaming
is the live application just like the VOD one? I want to encode live content with the flash media encoder to my flash server and access it from a client. Do i use the same procedures as a vod? IE, using flash cs3 to publish an html which i then put on my web server.

There seems to be very little in the way of tutorials and documentation on this. Can anyone help me out?

[CS3] Live Streaming
I have tried just about everything with this. I have to say that the documentation for VOD is excellent but there is very little coherent documentation for the live service.

How do i tell the application that this is a live stream that I want it to connect to? I know there is a parameter called isLive that can be set to true or false. How do I do that? I thought you did not have to write code for the built in apps? Or am I totally off base?

Anyway, I am streaming audio from flash media encoder 2.5 to my flash media server 3. All I want to do is publish the live app like I do the VOD app, so end users can access it from a web server.

Live FLV Streaming?
hello everyone

I need some help with flv straming, I'm trying to do a live flv streaming from YouTube. How?

I did flv straming from localhost: (Server-side)

ActionScript Code:
videoName="test"
application.videoStream = Stream.get("video");
application.videoStream.play(videoName, 0, -1 ,true);

works fine with files on localhost but if change the videoName to a youTube address like: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=yO4Y6TwKBpQ It's not working....

Help!

Oh, if it helps, here's a code for streaming from YouTube: (it's working but it's on the client-side...)

ActionScript Code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect((null));

var youTube_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

video1.attachVideo(youTube_ns)
youTube_ns.play("http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=yO4Y6TwKBpQ",-2,0);

It should be so simple!!!

Is it possible to accomplish that by playing the youTube_ns on application.videoStream? is that even possible?

Live Streaming
I have two problems. I'm running Red5...

1) I cannot display a live stream in Flash. I have tried NetConnection and NetStream but to no avail. I can play a FLV by entering its direct url but I cannot watch a live stream. I have FME2.5 running and successfully streaming..I'm viewing it on another player but I cannot get it to display in Flash.

2) I cannot publish my live stream. I keep getting different errors...I have tried multiple ways to call the stream but no luck...I read that vid.connect(null) needs to be there if I don't have FMS but then how would it know what to connect to to see the stream?

So I have rtmp://domain.com/oflaDemo and the stream name is Test. Any help with any of them would be appreciated.

Live Streaming
Hello everybody......

I am startin now with flash and fms2 so please ...be patient against my ignorance.

I finally have been able to build a code for publishing and playing a live stream from my webcam.

The two modules work fine if run separately one after the other....publisher ----> player.

What I am trying to obtain is this:
I want that a web client , via IE6, connects to my site and see live what's happening.

Right now I am publishing the player ONLY module with IIS.

If I connect from my laptop within my home network, to the player module (with the publisher running), it works fine.
Of course the publisher has to be started manually by me before connecting from the laptop.

What I want to avoid it right this.... so I would like to have the client to start the live streaming automatically when it get connected to my website, and stops the live streaming when he leaves the website.

Hope to be clear...

So, I putted togheter the 2 modules into ONE ONLY (the below one), and published it via IIS.

This code works fine on the PC where FLASH 8 and FMS2 are installed (Ctrl + Enter), but connecting to the website from the laptop it does not work.

Could you guys give me a hint to get out of this problem ?

I am stuck badly..... :-(

I am sorry for my bad english but I am italian....

Sincerely Riccardo

Live Streaming Help
I have a flash media server that I'm sucessfully using to stream .flv videos. Now I'm wondering how to set up an application on my FMS to stream live video using the new encoder.

I have the new encoder and the server - I just need some basic instructions on how to make the two work together to get a live stream working. The encoder is local and the FMS is at a colocation facility and I have remote access.

Cheers,
Jim

Live AAC Streaming - Help
I would like to stream live AAC to the Internet via Flash. I have been told the new version of FMS (FMS3) will support it. But, I have yet to find a live encoder! Flash Media Encoder 2 only supports MP3 and NellyMoser audio.

I will have linear PCM audio coming in via an audio card and I want an encoder that will encode it live into AAC and get it to a FMS server.

I have yet to find anything. Help!

Streaming Live FLV Through VOD
I'm trying to develop an application that receives live FLV video through network connection (proprietary protocol) and dumps it on the FMS filesystem. I would like to be able to stream that live video to clients using FMS... I tried to play the video through the VOD application but it seems that the server reads the length of the video when the client connects and won't stream beyond that point.
Is it possible to stream live video from a file that's being appended as data is received over the network? I tried by developing custom file plugin to throttle FMS server reads (on end of file conditions) but that won't help ... I also noticed that FMS first reads first ~290K of stream, then last ~290K stream and then starts to read stream sequentially until end of stream size (that was read at the beginning)...
Can anyone help?

Live Mp3 Streaming
Hi all, I have been having a really hard time trying to LIVE stream an mp3 from my flash media server 3 using actionscript 3. I wanted to know how to play an mp3 in a similar way to a radio, it means that when an user connects to my app he starts listening the song from the point in which the song has arrived, and not from the beginning (like a radio, indeed).
If you don't know a better way It would be quite the same if you could translate this
code from as2 to as3 (i took it from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/li
ve_dj_app.html ):

ns1 = new NetStream(nc);
ns1.setBufferTime(3);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("dj 1", 1);
dj1.attachAudio(ns1);
dj1Sound = new Sound(dj1);
setVolumeOfLines();

Sorry if i sound a bit rude, but English is not my native language.. Thanks all in advance! Be patient, I m quite new to as and fms. Best wishes

Flash Media Server 3 And Windows 2003 Server Help For Live Streaming

Redundant Live Streaming
Hi,

I have a customer who needs to serve a live video stream and wants it to be highly reliable. He also doesn't have the budget for an Origin / Edge deployment at the moment.

Do you think the following will work?

The video stream will be sent from a single source to (2) servers, each running a FMS 2.0 Pro license. These servers will sit behind a hardware load balancer (like a Foundry switch). Users who want to view the video stream will visit a CF MX page and be directed to a single IP address to obtain the video. This IP address will be managed by the hardware load balancing device, which will send the video request to the primary FMS 2.0 Pro server. If the primary FMS server fails while a live video stream is being served, the hardware load balancer will shift the user's session to the secondary FMS server. Users may notice a temporary blip while the session fails over, but otherwise the video experience should be relatively continuous.

Am I missing something obvious here? Or should this just work?

Thanks,
Adam

Help With Setup For Live Streaming
I'm trying to set up a live stream that's viewable on my website.
I have two machines behind a router with one being the webserver running FMS (windows 2003) and the other being the encoding machine running FME (windows XP).
When I set up FME, I put in the following as the url to the server "rtmp://computernamewebserver/live/" with the session name being "test".
This has no problems connecting to FMS .

On the webserver/FMS, I created a *.swf file which basically contains just a flvplayback object with the URL set to "rtmp://computernamewebserver/live/test".

Now after I publish this, I can view the video via the published html file from within the network, but when I try outside of the network, it doesn't work and I get no error messages so it's hard to debug.

I have port 80 forwarded to my webserver/FMS machine. I tried forwarding port 1935 to both my webserver/FMS machine and the FME machine with no success.
I've tried playing around with the rtmp URL by changing the computernamewebserver from the internally recognized computer name to the externally recognized URL to my webserver.

The solution is probably something simple, but since this is my first attempt at flash streaming, it's not obvious to me and I've tried searching for the solution. My suspicion is that there's some config file somewhere that I need to config that I don't know about or maybe it's some port issue. Neither of my machines have windows based firewall disabled.

Live Streaming For Downlink
Hello:

I have a 2-way video client using FMS3(hosted) in between. I want to know that if I optimize what I can uplink from user A, then will FMS3 automatically buffer the stream if user B's downlink can't handle a faster uplink speed from user A? Likewise, if user A's uplink speed is less than user B's downlink speed, does FMS3 do anything to keep user B's video from being very choppy and where user might see frozen frames due to frames not being sent fast enough?

If FMS3 doesn't handle this out of the box, then is this a server side script that needs to be written to handle this?

Thanks,

Dan

Live Streaming Question
How can I use another encoder to do live streams?

The Flash Media Encoder is alright for most things, but I want I want to go a little deeper and try to improve encoding, doing 2-pass, and a few other quirks to try to improve my live video quality and bandwidth usage.

The problem is, I have no idea how to do that for Live encoding. I'm not very experienced either with Flash or with FMS. Looking at the documentation, I only see one way to connect to the FMS, which is by Flash. And after connecting by Flash, I have to either use "netstream.attachVideo(Camera.get()) + netstream.publish" which gets information directly from a video source and the publishes to server, or by choosing an already existing FLV file, and then publishing it to the server.

But how can I publish live encoded video without using the FME? FME does it somehow, and I'm pretty certain those hardware encoders (I.E. Kulabyte) have some way of using the FMS to produce live content as well, so there must be a way, right?

Can anyone help me with this?
