iOS devices and the RTMP plugin

Posted: Mar 27, 2012

Folks,

In looking at the documentation for the iPad/iPod plugin, I notice it only offers http as an example.

We're using the RTMP plugin, and would need the code to reflect that stream as opposed to HTTP.

Is streaming with the RTMP plugin possible with the iOS plugin, and how would that be set up?

We're looking to upgrade our Flowplayer version to 3.2.8, but it is dependent on this being possible.

Thanks for any feedback offered!

» » RTP Muliticast from Wowza server...

Posted: Sep 29, 2011

Thanks for the info!

We're just multicasting off of our internal domain... what I'm finding is this. The Wowza multicast URL structure is the same as the unicast except for the URL structure... see below:

unicast:
rtsp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/[application]/myStream

multicast:
rtsp://[wowza-ip-address]:1935/[application]/myStream?multicastplay

WHen I put the multicast variable at the end of the URL string to myStream, things break.

Are you configured for multicast? Unicast is no problem, but we're in need of multicast.

Thanks again for your reply!

RTP Muliticast from Wowza server...

Posted: Sep 23, 2011

Folks,

We've installed a Wowza server locally for broadcasting live events to our enterprise over multicast.

Does Flowplayer support multicasting, and is there special consideration I need to make?

I can always fall back on VLC or Quicktime, but we really wanted to use embedded Flowplayer.

Thanks for any information folks can provide.

Upgrade of SWF and JS files kills Flowplayer in IE7?

Posted: Oct 2, 2009

Yesterday I upgraded SWF and JS files to the following versions:

flowplayer.commercial-3.1.3.swf
flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.2.swf
flowplayer.controls-3.1.3.swf
flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js

Everything worked fine in Firefox, but failed in IE7.

Has anyone seen this or can help with what may have caused it? I'm going to get a video or two set up in a test area to demonstrate this and will post the link when done.

Error on video playback: video doesn"t play all the way through...

Posted: Sep 17, 2009

Folks,

We're seeing an intermittent problem with a video in a playlist, and I'd like to see if anyone else can vouch for the problem.

We want to be able to play a logo video (our logo, followed by our website URL: total runtime, 9 seconds), then another, long form video, followed again by the logo video.

Issue is that the logo video will play for about 4 seconds, stop, the next video will play with no problem, then the logo video will play, but again only for about 4 seconds.

Can my fellow Flowplayer users please test the video at the link below and report what you experience? All feedback is greatly appreciated.

To help make helping me easier, here's the code for Flowplayer as we currently have it configured. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction as I continue to crawl the forums.

<script src="../../wowzastream/files/flowplayer-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
<style>
a.rtmp {
display:block;
width:480px;
height:294px;

border:0px;
margin-top:125px;
}
</style>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

Simple playlist example with RTMP plugin...

Posted: Aug 24, 2009

All,

Love the product, find the documentation leaves much much much to be desired.

I'm in search of a very basic playlist using the RTMP plugin.

No splash images, no HTML overlays, nothing like that. Just a simple play one, then two, then three playlist.

The docs on the main site do little to help folks who aren't programmers. Something you might want to work on.

In the interim, can anyone point me to a simple example of RTMP playlists?

Thanks much!

Cool... One final piece and I think I'm all set (well, I hope).

Posted: Jan 2, 2009

The last issue I seem to have is that if I get this streaming from FMS in my own page without all the Flowplayer provided stylesheets, the video is full-browser (i.e., it's as large as the browser window).

How do I control the size of the video?
What portion of the CSS is controlling that?

If this is documented anywhere and I just missed it, please let me know.

Thanks! Much!

Now that that's working...

Posted: Dec 30, 2008

OK, I got that working. However, without all the trim from the example, the video is full screen with the default Flowplayer look & feel.

What's next in terms of getting the player to look like I want (size, toolbar options, etc...) that I have done with Flowplayer 2?

Additional RTMP examples or documentation?

Posted: Dec 30, 2008

Folks,

The RTMP plugin is essential for what we're working on, but the only example you offer here, with no real documentation, only works with Influxis content: nothing like we need.

Are there any examples of this working elsewhere that might help out? For example, for my server, what is "URL" and "provider" under "clip"?

Thanks for any documentation or examples of how to make this code work with other servers.

Migrating from Flowplayer 2 to 3?

Posted: Dec 29, 2008

Guys,

Is there any good documentation for folks migrating from Flowplayer 2.x to Flowplayer 3?

I'm tinkering with it now, but it seems that every HTML file already setup to use 2.x is going to have to be totally rewritten.

Any advice?

Thanks for the info, and that will hopefully do the trick. I'm familiar with RTMP streaming, so that's great.

It only discusses Interactive Server on that page however (and the example seems to be broke).

Will the player also work with Flash Streaming Server (3.5)?

Posted: Dec 10, 2008

We're ramping up a project for a Flash Streaming Server.

Does Flowplayer work with Streaming Server or does one need Interactive Server to implement Flowplayer as the player of choice?

See... Told ya it was simple!
