Play (and keeping to synce) multiple video streams?

Hi all

I wonder if the following is possible with Flash Media Server:

We store technical workshops at conferences, and we are looking for a way for people to watch them later with a very good user experience. Currently, we give presenters Camtasia to record their actions on the screen, which then encode us into a single video file. We also use a video camera to record the presenter of the size upwards, which encode us in a second video file. So now we have two video files we would like to keep synchronized to display to the user at the same time.

Is it possible to use Flash Media Server as well as a custom player to do this?

Basically, I don't think it would be too difficult to create a single set of playback controls that sent the time codes of reading request again to two separate video streams. The problem I see would be what would happen if one of the staggered creeks and had to pause the buffer while the other current continued to advance? In this case the two streams would become out of sync. Our current workaround is to make us two streams into a single video file, which is very demanding work and does give us no flexibility on the road, but that's all we could do to ensure that they remain synchronized when the user skipped around or that he stopped for buffering.

Any thoughts?

Thank you
Brian

Unfortunately, there is no really accurate way to keep streams synchronized with FMS.

Since there is no timecode to speak of, there is nothing to synchronize at other times netstream. The only way I know for ns synchronization is break time and restart the stream as they get out of sync, but as a FMS stream does not remain in the cache and buffer empties as soon as you interrupt the flow, you have to refresh whenever it is resumed. Even with a buffer of zero, ago yet the time it takes for the first few KB of data to the client, so there is always some default alignment.

Is FMS? I wonder if using an application server http to simulate the flow can be a viable solution (example http://flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP-take-two ). With progressive video, the data is cached and you have access to bytesloaded/bytestotal and time netstream, so I think that you would be able to achieve synchronization you want.

    In an effort to save space on my iphone, I put icloud to optimize the storage of the iphone. The problem is that when I want to watch a video, I have to wait for it to download. Is there a way to define icloud to download and keep the originals for videos, but still optimize iphone storage for photos?

    I know that I have the opportunity to move my videos to itunes, but ideally, I'd like to keep the two in a library, and I would like to know if there is a way to make the way I prefer first.

  • HP t5740e with Puppy Linux - poor video streaming

    Hi all,

    I got my hands on a brand new t5740e in a trade and felt happy about it. Thought I would install a minimal Linux distribution and use the computer for stuff online on my Benq 24 '' LED screen. I removed W7 integrated and installed Puppy Linux, and while everything works great, video streaming is terrible. Very laggy, glitch, agitated.

    Tried several versions of Puppy Linux. Precise puppy seems to work better, but it is still far from perfect.

    -Flash player is installed, the latest version

    -Video driver Intel is in use

    -Installed FireFox, the latest version

    -For video playback (offline) regular, there is no problem whatsoever

    -When streaming, it works very well in the window, but much worse in mode full-screen. Audio is perfect no matter what happens.

    T5740e hardware specifications should be more than enough to run a minimal distribution like puppy perfectly! I installed it on computers with specifications well below and it works a lot better there, so my question is... What gives? What is happening and why? Can I do something to fix this?

  • FMS4.5 live stream with multiple video files as a single source?

    I use Flash Media server 4.5 and I read the tutorial if I want to play the live stream, I may need to use the Live Media Encoder.

    But what I found in media encode is I manually set up everything and it only supported cameras.

    But in my case, I have several video files keep the receipt of another program and place it on the filesystem (server).

    My goal is use the Flash Media server to perform a live boardcasting with these video files one by one.

    This means when customer watch a live streaming, they won't notice the server plays mov1, then mov2, then mov3, then mov4... and so on.

    You can imagine I try boardcast say a sequences live during 60 s,.

    the video file will be not recorded entirely after 60 seconds, but not for every 10 seconds, I will deliver a video file,

    so that when watching the live of HLS customer (for example http://xxxx.com/live123( )

    When time reach 10 seconds, a video file available mov1 and FMS should boardcast this video on live123.

    When the time achieve 20 seconds, a video file available mov2 and FMS must immediately follow the boardcast mov1 on live123.

    and so on...

    FMS can dynamically create a new session of streaming (call by code),

    so that when the customer a download of some video files to the server, the FMS log new stream streaming only cilent video files?

    boardcasting as configuring the size of the screen, bitrate, etc. must be predefined on the server.

    (e.g. customer boardcast on http://xxxx.com/live123, CustomerB boardcast on http://xxxx.com/live124...)

    so the fact that possible to use FMS perform these ideas? or y at - it approaches?

    I am very new to FMS, if I have any misconcept FMS or media encoder (live), please do not hesitate to correct me.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    To have OUT load videos from sources of files, to be released at this stage, you need third party software like ManyCam.

    Otherwise, FMS can use source files and a playlist-like, side Publisher.

    Thus, you must request script on the server, server to play files and publish (publish side Server) to be subscribed by customers. Essentially, we ask the server to replace GFFE/encode streams published by sources to have the publishing server-read the file stream.

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/ssaslr/index.html should give more information on how to do it.

    Thank you!

  • Toshiba 46YL875: no pictures and videos streaming from NAS

    I have a problem with the media player on my TV and hope you can help.
    I have a 46YL875. Now, I have installed a Synology NAS DS213j. I have installed the DLNA media server.
    The TV recognizes it. Also the MP3 are played fine.

    But no photos (jpg) or videos (mp4) are displayed.
    If I get the same files on a USB key, they are played without a problem.

    Any hint how to solve? No patch or update FW, that could help?

    Hello

    There is a difference of playing files on USB or streaming files using NAS.
    I recommend the page 106 in the user manual:
    http://www.Toshiba-OM.NET/LCD/PDF/English/YL875-424655-English.PDF

    Using NAS you should check the details and notes for the DMS (digital media server)

    For example: video files with the file extension mp4 and M4V are supported using video/audio codec H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC).

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC does not play video streaming

    Hi-

    I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, Intel (r) Core i7-2630QM CPU, 8 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, Service Pack 1 64-bit. Beats audio, Radeon graphics card

    It does not play Netflix streaming - the screen is dark, even though the video seems to play, and there is no sound.

    It does not play videos YouTube - video playback but the sound is off. It goes the same for Megavideo and other streaming services.

    On the other hand, he plays the music very well on the native Windows Media Player. I have not tried video on my laptop.

    I make me quite frustrated and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea if this is a problem of HP, beats, or Windows 7 (or a combination of all three)?

    At this point, I am considering doing a restore of the entire system and starting from scratch. Any help is appreciated.

    Eihalcon, welcome to the forum.

    It seems that you have not installed Adobe Flash Player .  At least, I suggest to start with that as a possible solution.

  • 8 video on the question slide and how to play and to pause the video in a Captivate question slide


    Hello

    I use 8 Captivate and want to make a video on a question slide which I can do, but I want to play and pause the video.

    Is this possible?

    See you soon

    Erika

    Perhaps.  You can try to insert the video as a video synchronized multiple slides (even if it's on a single slide) which will then translate the video editing is locked in the timeline of the slide. You can drag the length of the blade of quiz and set the point of break of the quiz slide to where you want the video to pause.  Try in a quick experimental project and see if it does what you want.  The other way to pause the slide would be to use a smart shape button as other types of interactive objects can be added to the quiz slides.

  • Server Stream.play () and original put edge up

    I'm stuck getting a call from Stream.play () on a saved video file (.flv) of origin in edge servers.  Don't even know if it's possible.

    If I call Stream.play () on a server and connect a viewer directly to that server, the viewer sees the flow of play.  If I call Stream.play () on the original server and connect a viewer for the stream edge server is not.

    Is it possible to set up in any way as the play() call to spread of edge servers?

    According to FMS 3.5 docs on the Stream class, here's the deal:

    «When you call Stream.play() on the server, the server becomes Publisher.»

    See 5e-7e42.html#WSF74EED77-5C4C-423d-B879-7C02DF8FEC5F http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9

    If this server becomes a publishing server and lets say it was an origin on a CDN server, should not the other machines in the configuration of receive the published stream?

    When you publish a live stream on an origin server does its way somehow to the edge server.  This analogy is not relevant to the scenario in which you call Stream.play () on a saved file?

    Thank you

    If your facility of edge and origin are works well in the way that they have been configured by NCR so all you have to do is to make sure (Stream.play) that happens on all origin servers that you would use. There is nothing else to do on Edge server.

    When a viewer connects to the edge server, it is routed to one of the original servers and would be able to underwrite the livestream served by the FMS app (via Stream.play ()).

    Thank you

  • Flex, AIR and the video streams remotely

    Lets say I want to connect two AIR applications, running on two computers of different work and video stream directly from one to the other. How could I go about this? Would it not possible to use the NetConnect and NetStream classes?

    Documentation of NetConnect said basically, that if its not connect to FMS, it can connect to a local file or a file on a Web server. However, the same documentation also says that the command of the connect method parameter is of the following form:

    protocol:[//host][:port]/appname[/instanceName]

    so, I wonder what protocols are supported? would be TCP: UDP or: work? (I doubt it because it seems that it requires a file name for access instead of just a port)


    Since the support lock frame writes to a file, I thought it might be possible to connect two clients with the help of the Socket classes and then write the incoming stream to a file, which could then be read by NetConnect + NetStream.

    It seems to me terribly backwerds and he brings on another problem on the client sends the stream, if I use NetConnect + Netscream to connect to a file and uses the features of transmission/dissemination, he actually write to this file? And besides, wouldn't be a writer of blocking? Ffrom looking at this part of the framework, I really suspect adobe wants me to use FMS full stop (I mean, how it would be difficult to offer a generic binary stream?) ... which is fair play, but it has no presence for any AIR application that needs to send his our video directly to another customer. You might think, why not 'just' to use FMS, but the thing is:

    Why would a: I? It's 1-to-1 very simple 'power' flow? Why put a server between two clients just for fun?
    B: video could stick as a Bloodsucker a little bandwidth on the server, the bandwidth costs money, internet bandwidth of customer connection are free of charge in most cases.

    All that being said, I don't know much on FMS... He would let a customer enroll in a stream on the server, and then have other clients connect directly to that customer by subscribing to the feed? or steam should go well the server?

    Anyway, any input would be appreciated, the question is really quite simple. Direct video connection between two clients of the AIR... thoughts?
