How to stream live to "red5"?

Hello there.

I Am going to ...Hello there.

I Am going to do a DJ'ing gig latter this year and I plan on having it live on my website also. I Am hoping to use the "JW FLV Player" as the player for my users to view the gig live on-line at my website. But in order to make that happen I need a "red5" server. Now I have that sorted. But here is the bit I can't work out. How do get the live content to the "red5" server for it to stream to "JW FLV Player". I Will need some sort of capture software to take the feed from the camera to then send it to the "red5" server.

What software do I use? I Know if I was to use the "Adobe" software. I Would "Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3" to capture and "Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server" to do the streaming. ButI am not going to use Adobe. So What would I use instead of "Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3"?

Hope to hear from somebody soon.

You can use the demo app. *SimpleBroadcaster.swf* that comes with Red5. They have an example of it embedded in an HTML page.

Or you can use the JW FLV Media Player with type=camera embedded like a normal player.

Either one will use the Adobe Flash Player to capture the camera output on the client and send it to your Red5 server.

Then you can use the demo app *SimpleSubscriber.swf* or a JW FLV Media Player to display the stream on your clients. Embedded like a normal player. streamer=rtmp://www.mydomain.com/oflaDemo and file=red5StreamDemo or whatever you have named your stream.

I have some HTML pages set up if you need them.

Ed, Im trying make live stream with Flash Media Encoder and play stream in JW.

Until now, nothing, but maybe my problem is type again.

Putting camera in type works without problem, but Im not sure if with this way video is recorded in streams RED5 folder, but works and there (camera option) you can put instead of the camera something like splitcam and put videos.

If I can make FME works, I will put how I did it.

I'm trying to get this sorted out so I can post some demos.

Google "Red5 Live Stream Publishing" for more information.

Live Stream Publishing requires three components:

1) The Publisher
The Publisher utilizes a Flash movie to encode the stream from your video source into flash video (Sorenson) and send the stream to the RTMP server.
The Flash movie can be a JW FLV Player (up to v4.5.207) with type=camera or the Red5 Publisher demo.

2) A RTMP Server
The RTMP Server receives the stream from the Publisher and makes it available for streaming to the clients.

3) Clients
The Clients utilize a Flash movie to receive the RTMP stream from the Server and display it.
The Flash movie can be any FLV player that can utilize an RTMP stream, such as any of the JW FLV Player versions.

Streaming files is not a problem, is very easy.

The problem for everybody (I think so) is with live streaming.

For example. I can send signal, I mean, streaming, but my problem is create an embed with JW FLV Player to put in a website.

I try with wizard but nothing always show an error, I think the problem is with type in file properties.

If somebody can create an embed for "live streaming" with this wizard. Please post. Many people are looking for this information.

Finally figured it out. The JW FLV Player needs these three flashvars:bc.. 'streamer':'rtmp://www.domain.com/oflaDemo',
'file':encodeURIComponent('livestream?videoKeyframeFrequency=5&totalDatarate=446'),
'type':'rtmp',



Where:
*livestream* is the Stream: set in FME.
*videoKeyframeFrequency* is the Keyframe frequency set in FME (click on the wrench icon at Format:).
*totalDatarate* is the Total bandwidth required to stream: from FME.

Many thanks for stuff about streaming from camera.
With Publisher demo it's ok for me.

But using the FME it doesn't work. When I use FME in FMS URL : rtmp://IP_adress/oflaDemo/.
And then in my code for flash player there is line:
so.addVariable('streamer', 'rtmp://66.96.XXX.XXX/oflaDemo/live')
What stand's for 'live' there? i must use some application called 'live'?

And another one BIG question.
I have live broadcasting channels with UDP/RDP multicast and want to use RTMP streaming in my flash client.
Have there any support in Red5 for RDP, RTSP or MPEG-TS for incoming streaming of H.264/HE-AAC content (like in wowza for example). And if it's possible, which application can I use to do this?

Hope to hear from someone.

Hi,*lost* Thank you for reply.
But could you check what I'm doing wrong:

*FME side*:
FMS URL: rtmp://192.168.1.101/oflaDemo
Stream: live
Total bitrate: 296 kbit/s

*Client side code*:
bc.. so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://192.168.1.101/oflaDemo');
so.addVariable('file', encodeURIComponent('live?videoKeyframeFrequency=5&totalDatarate=296'));

If I try to check stream in oflaDemo application
use: rtmp://192.168.1.101/oflaDemo -- connect
but in the 'library' i don't see 'live', just *.flv content (like DarkKnight.flv & IronMan.flv).

By the way i tried many combinations with 'live', but all was failed.

Hi

I have been able to get JW player to act as the Flash publisher for both live streams and recorded streams.

The issue is that in some versions of JW player the Camera model is not implemened. Alsi the Camera model that is there (but Disabled) is set to only record not do live stream.

If you have adobe cs3 I can let you know what the changes need to be in order to make it work. I have those changes t version .5 of the player.

If you do not have CS3, I can send you my modified version that is full function for uploading streams.


Let me know

In this thread:

kLink Quote:
*"As soon as Red5 with MP4/H.264 streaming is available (probably v.9 early 2009), start using MP4s encoded with H.264 video."*

Has anyone used *h.264 for streaming live content*?
Is this supported in 0.7 and 0.8 of Red5?

Hi and thanks all for your knowledge.
A bit confused still.
I have a publisher demo running in red5 and publishing my
webcam. Now trying the JW player but :

.- with your script/html examples i get nothing.
.- what port or rtmp url is it supossed to be the one outputted from publisher? why oflademo in sush rtmp example urls if I yet don't have no ofla running at all (at least consciously)

I would like to check with something like mplayer vlc or whatever that my publisher is actually publishing a rtmp stream, but I do not get it :

.- rtmp://localhost:1935/livestream ?
.- rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo/livestream ?

nothing's showing nowhere but the publisher's won page.

but, completely lost :

1.- do not know how to externally check publisher is actually outputting a rtmp stream: mplayer? vlc? what url?

2.- why oflademo at url if i did not use such demo at all?

3.- tried

*oflaDemo* is a demo application that you can install and then use for streaming so you don't have to write your own application.

You can install *oflaDemo* from the demo page of Red5.

http://www.domain.com:5080/index.html

Then you should be able to stream the demo videos from *oflaDemo/streams* using the v5 JW Player with this swfobject code:bc.. 'streamer': 'rtmp://www.domain.com/oflaDemo',
'file': 'IronMan',
'provider': 'rtmp',

My problem is I do not get the client gets the stream.

Stream published is named simply 'livestream'

.- However, from jwplayer with next configuration, I do not even get to see such client is reaching the server to play livestream :

This is a test website which I am testing on my computer so not possible to give link.

Finally I have been able to solve the problem the above html page was supposed to be kept in Document Root of the server.

I had made them in my home directory and now it is working perfectly fine.

I was able to get my videos streamed via oflaDemo application.
Initially I was getting the problem because my java scripts and flash players which I was calling
were not in servers document root .
I was testing on my laptop which was client machine so I did not had any idea to install a web server on my laptop.
When I installed a webserver on my laptop for some other experiment I had accidentally kept the pages in its document root and then the HTML pages which contained java scripts to connect to Red5 streams were able to connect more over
I found certain flv files which were played in VLC and other media players were not getting played in Jwplayer is there some thing I can do to test this type of thing.

I've troubles using JW media player to embed live streams in a page.

I have RED5 setted up right I think.
I can use publisher to create a video stream from the client camera to another PC in the private network using the oflaDemo applications provided.

I can use FW player to embed video from the flv samples in the oflaDemo (avatar.flv)

I'm not able to show the streaming live video of the cam in FW.
Using
'streamer': 'rtmp://192.168.1./oflaDemo',
'file': 'test.flv',
'type': 'rtmp',

where test.flv is the name of the stream in the publisher demo application.
I can't see the video in the FW player.

Logs on red5 say

File was null or did not exist: test.flv

Any ideas on this?

Sorry Ethan,
actually this is a in house test setup not published on the internet.

By the way I did succeed prepending stream to the name of the file.

It seems that live streams must have a name like
streamwhatever, is this true?

I have to use the same full name i.e streamwhatever in the publisher application of red5 and in the file var in the JW player.

Regards,
Mario

Hi,

as I read some posts I got that JW Player doesn't support online stream
so I want to know that is there any good solution for recording a video or audio without using FME, Flash Media Encoders?

Best regards,


Ali
