Adobe HTTP Dynamic streaming support?

Posted: Feb 25, 2011

Are there any plans to add "real" Adobe 10.1/Zeri HTTP Dynamic streaming support to flowplayer?

i.e. It is critical that we support this - i.e. are able to play multi-bitrate videos from an .f4m manifest file.

Any plans on adding this??

I second this as a feature for Flowplayer. This would be a key plugin for future Flowplayer releases as it allows live streaming through http.

httpstreaming feature release

Nice work sir! It looks like a good start.

Will you be providing source for this? Or perhaps for interested devs - you have a git or svn repo?

I'd love to assist!

Thank you for this excellent plugin!

I have tried to integrate it with Live feeds (f4m manifest) but it doesn't seem to work. Is this only for VoD or should it support live feeds too?

Hi there sorry about the late reply, it will be released very shortly, I have a vod demo on my page

http://flowplayer.electroteque.org/httpstreaming

http://code.google.com/p/flowplayer-plugins/source/browse/#svn%2Fflash%2Fhttpstreaming%2Ftrunk

What exactly happens with the live stream if you provide it the f4m it should work.

Hi There, any further tests with f4m? I would love to run a test with my CDN to get the workflow going. They have documentation on how their manifest files work with the jwplayer but maybe we could get things going with flowplayer.

I see the plugin in google code, but not on the plugins page. Has it been released? Or is it built-in now?

Looking for the same.

It seems it is not working in the latest version. The .as script in the google code site seems to be the only recourse.

When is this feature expected to be complete?

Does anyone have an estimate of when Flowplayer might support HTTP dynamic streaming?

My CDN, Highwinds, has announced that they are dropping support for "legacy" RTMP streaming and will only provide HTTP dynamic streaming. Their RTMP service will be switched off on December 15th.

As I'm using Flowplayer on my front-end, I need to plan whether to stick with Flowplayer or implement an alternative. I'd much rather stick with Flowplayer, but not if it means an interruption of service for my customers.

Wow, they have serious rocks in their head though. You will still need fms for the live stream which provides the http end point. And unless they reverse engineered the apache module, or stole the open source framework code and ported it to another language to do the segmenting I'm unsure how this multi platform solution works. If it generates the f4m file and the fragments correctly it should work. I'm certain they are using the apache module though.

I have great concerns how they keep saying rtmp is legacy, http is't great itself unless its a geo located cdn, there is security issues with http streaming that is more tight with rtmp, only html5 video supports byte range seeking of a progressive download stream, but thats what this segmented streaming overcomes.

Not everyone has support for this yet but it can run from any apache server or you could theoretically pre-cache the segments and host from a standard cdn http endpoint.

there is a demo of it here for now

http://flowplayer.electroteque.org/httpstreaming

it should be released with Flowplayer 3.3 in the next month or so, id say definitely before December.

Hello -- does this month still look good for a 3.3 release with support for HTTP streaming in Highwinds?

Flowplayer 3.3

Posted: Nov 5, 2011

Reply to: » » When is this feature expected to be complete?, from chris.bray
I concur. Currently using the latest 3.2.7 unlimited version and we want to upgrade to 3.3 due to its support for Adobe's DS HTTP streaming.

Thanks,
fozzy

Same here. We use the latest 3.2.7 version and are anxiously awaiting 3.3 for Dynamic Streaming. Any guesstimate on the release date of 3.3?

A note about Highwinds

Posted: Nov 18, 2011

Reply to: Adobe HTTP Dynamic streaming support?, from bkgoodman
In my testing of Electroteque's plugin, Flowplayer was able to use Adobe's HTTP dynamic streaming.

However, there was a problem with bandwidth detection (adaptive bitrate switching). To get the streaming working, I had to include Flowplayer's bandwidth detection plugin. Unfortunately this interfered with the bitrate switching from Highwinds.

Highwinds manages bitrate switching itself, and does a much better job than Flowplayer's plugin.

I don't think it's a good idea to have two different sources of bitrate switching active together (Highwinds' and Flowplayer's). They appear to conflict. The result was constant cycling between the different bitrates.

Bitrate switching was excellent when I played the Highwinds videos in Adobe's reference player Strobe.

The bitrate switching uses the OSMF functions so its the same, so no different ;) Can you explain what the difference is ? My version is the development version of bwcheck so preferable to use that for the moment until its released. I cannot comment on highwinds,do they have their own plugin ? Please post an example.

You may well be right. I don't think I'm making a fair comparison, and I may have configured Flowplayer incorrectly.

I'll get an example shortly, but this is in danger of becoming a "help me!" conservation, so I'll make a separate topic.
