Stream A Webcam
Hi,

I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but I have a (relatively) small site which I host on a dedicated server at my house (with a hosting ISP).

Anyway I do all the hosting myself. My users have asked to have live streaming webcams, there are enough users to make adding this feature worthwhile, even though c server is (or so I'm told, I haven't checked) expensive.

So, before I shell out the money, I've been spending weeks looking on the web for cut + paste code or a tutorial so that a user can broadcast a webcam - something basic, literally a flash movie with a webcam.

I'm a JavaScript guru, but only know some actionscript, all I can do is var cam:Camera = camera.get() lol

So anyway can someone link me to some code that does this/that I can edit easily to get this result?

Also, is it worthwhile be buying flash media server (or are their any alternatives) just for this simple thing? Any other host I can do this with cheaply?

Thanks.

How Can I Broadcast A Recorded FLV Like A Webcam Stream?
Hello,

I noticed with a webcam stream, it doesn't matter when multiple clients connect... they all see the same thing at the same time. And it gives the feel of LIVE streaming...

How can this be done with FLV? ... so far, I know how to do on demand streaming of a FLV file... but I would like to start my FlashComm app and have the FLV file play in a continous loop... and when clients connect.. they all see the same thing.

How can I do this?

Webcam Stream (External JPEG)
Hi, I'm designing a website aiming to provide visual coverage of surfing locations across the UK through the use of webcam images. Each of the images themselves will be retrieved externally, with permission, from various hotels over-looking these locations.

I have spoken to someone who has completed a similar project, a widget which retrieves and displays webcam images, which can be viewed here:

http://www.ukbiketrails.co.uk/ukss/weCams.php

I would like to use the same method. Explained in his own words:

'The feeds you see in the widget are simply JPEG images hosted on the originating website, so none of the feeds are handled by myself. The widget sends a HTTP request for the JPEG and displays what it gets in the widget.'

As you can tell from the link url, he's used PHP, which I have been learning.

I have lost contact with him recently and not sure the steps I should take to integrate such a feature into my website. Please help.

Stream IP Webcam With Flash Media Server
I have a D-Link IP web cam. I want to grab the video stream from the IP webcam andstream it out to client side via Flash Media Server. Does anybody have any insight on this? I have not seen any info anywhere that suggest this can even be done. If it can't be done with Flash Media Server, what could it be done with? Remember this is an IP webcam with its own IP and has a built in webserver.

--HERE IS WHAT I POSTED ON ANOTHER FORUM----
I've got a d-link IP webcam and want to stream it through the Flash Media Server. Anybody have any insight? I did say IP cam, not a local USB cam. This is a IP cam with its own IP and everything. I want the server to grab the stream and broadcast it via flash media server.

If anybody has any ingiht they will truly be a ghod.

View Webcam Stream When Activated With External Status
Hi all,

What I want to do is grabbing a picture from the webcam every second, as long as I get a 'status=1' back (so the user is activated). Every second the system checks the status of the 'status' variable. If '0' it should go to a frame where people can activate.

I created 2 functions ('activated' and 'update'). The code below is in the first frame. On the second frame I run the 2 functions.

My questions:
- i'm not sure if this is a good way to set this up
- when I run this code I'm not able to get rid of the picture on frame 'go_here_toactivate'. I tried unloadMovie but all didn't work
- if I run this code locally it works but when I upload the swf to a server it does always show the webcam-images (it doesn't look at the status '1' or '0')

Hope you guys can help me out!

function activated() {
loadStatus = new LoadVars();
loadStatus.load("http://www.here_i.get/a_1_or_0_back_if_activated");
loadStatus.onLoad = function() {
status = this.status;
trace (status);
if (status==0) {

gotoAndStop("go_here_toactivate");
}
}
}




url = "http://webcam-ftp/image.jpg";
wait = 2;
image = wait + 1;


function update() {
newmovie = "picture" + image++;

duplicateMovieClip("picture", newmovie, image);

loadMovie(url, newmovie);


}

Flash Communication Server (FCS) - Live Webcam Stream Over The Internet - How?
Hello,

I have spent days and days on the Internet looking for answers with no luck!

I just have a few general questions about FCS...

I am trying to broadcast a live video stream from my USB webcam over the Internet. My idea is to be able to point the webcam out my window and then when I am at work I can log onto my website and view the live video stream at anytime.

I am comfortable with flash, however I am new to FCS...
I just want to find out everything I will need in order to get my live webcam up and running...

I have flash comm server installed and running and flash MX 2004 Professional... I have my webcam hooked up to my computer and I have been able to use the following code to get the cam to play in flash:

---------------------------------------

livecam = new NetConnection();
livecam.connect("rtmp:/video_cast/storefile");

mycam = Camera.get();
mycam.setMode(352, 288, 5);
mycam.setQuality(0, 60);
livedisplay.attachVideo(mycam);

output = new NetStream(livecam);
output.attachVideo(mycam);
output.publish("livevideofile", "record");

------------------------------------------

So the above code seems to work for creating the "broadcast swf file". I can log into Communication App Inspector and I see my stream... and it seems to save out the "livevideofile.flv" in the "Flash CommunicationServerMXapplicationsvideo_caststre amsstorefile"
folder...

The next thing I did was create an swf with a "media playback" component on the stage and the URL set to "rtmp:/video_cast/storefile/livevideofile.flv" which seems to play the live stream...

When I launch the broadcast swf file I see the live video feed, and then I run the swf file with the media playback component and it seems to display the video stream... Now for some reason it seems to stream the first 5-20 sec then it pauses... if I start it over and over again 3-4 times it seems to keep playing... but by this point it is displaying video that is 30sec - 2 min behind the live video feed...

So I seem to have at least got it working to some extent on my local computer..

But the million dollar question that I can't seem to find the answer to is how do I get this to work on the web??

I think the way it works is I start flash comm server on my computer, run my "broadcast swf" file 24/7 and upload the swf file that plays the live stream to my server. And then any time i visit the html page that contains the flash movie that plays the video stream, it will play the video live?? Is this sorta the right idea? or am I way off??


with the code:
livecam.connect("rtmp:/video_cast/storefile");

and then later on:
output.publish("livevideofile", "record");

I am basically telling the flash movie to save the live video out as a streaming flv file right?? (Correct me if I am wrong)

But in order to be able to view the live video steam on the web... do I have to upload the steaming FLV video feed directly to my server?? Is that how it works? or does it somehow get passed through the FCS??

Like this??
livecam.connect("rtmp://mywebsite.com/storefile");

will that work?? Will it upload the video directly to my server??

I seem to think I am missing a lot here... But I dont even know what I am missing!!

I have a basic web hosting plan with a company called www.muchhost.com

Does MuchHost have to "Support" Flash Comm Server
in order for me to get my live web cam up and running? Or will any old hosting company do?

I have come across people talking about hosts like www.mediatemple.net
Do I need a "special" Flash Comm hosting company in order to get my live video on the net??

Also I am running Windows XP Pro... is that ok? Or do I have to be running windows NT or 2000 to get this all to work??

Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Thanks, Andrew T. First

Recording Webcam Stream: Flash Media Encoder Basic
Hi,

I need some help in explaining flash media encoder, and whether I am doing the wrong way. Please bare with me if some of my questions sounded dumb. I am building an application where user can visit my webpage to record their own video via webcam. The files will be played back after the recording.

I developed a script from one of the adobe tutorials, which needed flash media encoder to display live streams while recording. My question is, should I install the FME in my FMS Hosting? or every user who wants to record a video needs to install FME on their PC? I wouldn't want that to happen (asking user to install FME), is there a work around solution for this? Say: Install FME in my FMS hosting, and stream all recording concurrently?

Or, I should just drop the idea of using FME to stream and record my video files. But the output at FME is being optimized NICELY, I do not want to miss that out. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Flash + Webcam + DotNet + Website
Hi,

I have an application using a shockwave control (my flash movie) to show the webcam. I want to record the webcam video to a file (approx. 30 secs length). and after that, send it to my website.

I'm not using and will not use Flash Comm server (because I'm on 1and1)

Just tell me how I can save the video to disk.. if I can..... If I can't .. maybe there is a trick in my dotnet app. to record the shockwave control :S

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

Searchable Website Vs Slick Website...when To Draw The Line
Just curious what everyone thinks here:

So, we all know how search engines have a hard time reading flash sites. Well, I have come to a road block in my designing...I have clients that want their sites in the search engines but also want a certain amount of 'tech' to them! I can design pages with 'some' flash, enough to make it interesting, BUT if they want a 'fully searchable' page, what do we do?
I can type html all day long but it will never compare to the slickness of flash. I just finished my first 'full html' site in over a year(stuck on flash) and I am blown away by the clarity! It makes flash sharpness look dull! (sorry)

**My Question:
If you had a client that wanted a high tech site and also wanted to be 'searchable', what would you do??

***I'd like to hear all opinions, reasons and answers***

Using A Webcam / Eye Toy?
Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to make something like the Eye Toy games on the PS2 in Flash?

The games use a web cam to display the user on the screen and then track their movements, allowing the user to interact with the objects on the screen.

Would this be possible with Flash?

If not does anyone know what app could do this?

Thanks.

More Than One Webcam?
Hi, I was thinking about some fun experiments and interactive demos I could do for uni using webcams and detecting motion - but since webcams in flash can't breakdown the detection of motion to individual quadrants of the feed it limits some of teh fun can be had - So I was just wondering whether multiple webcams could be hooked up to flash? I can't see how it would be done, but I was hoping someone might know.

Webcam And H.264
Hello everybody,

We use FMS for videoconferencing and, as far as I know, FMS 3 does not support H.264 encoding from a webcam source. I does support H.264 playback, but, for now, that is all.

I'm wondering if some third party sellers have a solution for this. If so, has anybody tried any of them? Does anybody know if and when FMS will support H.264 encoding form a webcam source for videoconferencing?

Does anyone have a clue how to incorporate a webcam into a flash? I ask this because when you right click a flash, and go to proporties, it asks if this application should have use to your webcam, and I think that would be really sweet to have a tv playing in the background with "yourself" in it. It would be kinda freaky :P
