Has anybody figured out a 'fix-all' for Akamai? I've followed the suggestions above, and haven't found a working solution.
I'm working with the latest download version of the player.

MP3 Livestream of a german radio station.
It should work with a flash player, but I wanna use it with the JW Player

@sostermann,
The IP address was given in the playlist that is served from the URL that you posted *http://lsd.newmedia.nacamar.net/bb/redirect.lsc?content=live&media=mp3&stream=ndr/ndr2.mp3*
However, you can certainly use the domain name that is currently registered for that IP, which is:

as you can see, *none*. So I guess that you're stuck with the IP address if you want to listen to that stream. If it changes, just get a new playlist, open it with a text editor, and get the new IP address.

For Akama on demand streaming, XSPF have to look like :
location : rtmp://{server}.edgefcs.net/ondemand/{VIRTUAL PATH ALIAS}
identifier : {PATH OF THE FILE ON THE SERVER}
Identifier can include or not the file extension.
Be aware that the Live streaming does not contain an extension.
I've not tried a live stream but it seems to be just look like that :
location : rtmp://{server}.edgefcs.net/live
identifier : {a name}@{an id}
Does someone have already try the Akama Live streaming ?

@Manic5,
I don't know if you have read this thread [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=6491#msg30750]*STREAMING WITH LIMELIGHT*[/url], but it seems that there is a modified v3.12 player available that will connect to an FMS Live Stream.
Akamai, LimeLight, and VitalStream all use FMS Live Stream, so maybe it will work with slight adjustments to the file and id values.

Okay so I think I've gotta elaborate some more. If you visit www.garyllc.com/espn/player/test5.html, I can't get this to work. It loads and then never connects. If I visit support.akamai.com/flash, I can get both players to work once I've connected... it's strange. Any help would be super appreciated. You can email me at austin.davidj@gmail.com... I'll have to think of some kind of reward for anyone that can help!
Thanks guys!

For Akamai, you have to use their own AS connection class.
There's a lots of things to modify in FLVModel.as.
Replace all NetStream & NetConnection things to deal with AkamaiConnection class.
A lots of event listenner have to be implement too.

I was actually able to get the stream to work without having to incorporate the AkamaiConnection class (FLV Player 3.16).
so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp{your akamai cp code}.edgefcs.net/ondemand/{Your Stream's virtual path name}/");
so.addVariable("id","{name of your video without .flv extension}");

Hi ,
I am very new to the concept of live video streaming.
I'm also trying to make a live stream in video application in flex using akamai server. It would be gr8 if any one of u could a post a sample code here.
My code is like this
var nsClient:Object = {};
nsClient.onMetaData = ns_onMetaData;
nsClient.onCuePoint = ns_onCuePoint;
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://cp19552.edgefcs.net/ondemand");
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("flash.movies/testMovie");
ns.client = nsClient;
video = new Video();
video.attachNetStream(ns);
uic.addChild(video);
But I get a runtime error
ArgumentError: Error #2126: NetConnection object must be connected.
at flash.net::NetStream/construct()
at flash.net::NetStream()
Thanks in advance!!

Hi, i'm using Akamai "bandwidth" function to show the appropriate video quality based on a user's connection. However on dial-up I get fed the high-speed video sometimes and the low-speed sometimes. On cable modem I always get high-speed which is fine.

I am stuck with JW Player and its integration with Akamai. I am trying the following things in JW Player
so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/");
so.addVariable("id","path/to/filename");
I have also tried with flashvars so.addVariable("flashvars", "file=rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash&id=path/to/filename");
Nothing seems to work out for me :(. I have read through the above replies and tried them out, but none of them seems to be working out for me.
If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having a problem with live streaming, JW player, and Akamai. on-demand works fine btw using the methods outlined above.
Checking stream on akamai support flash page shows live stream working ok. Sometimes, jwplayer on pages served from webserver can't connect to Akamai live stream.
Do i have to use an Akamai connection class? How is it called? Thanks for any help to troubleshoot this.

Has anyone been able to play Akamai's live stream with ver 4.4?
JW Player

I am having trouble playing Akamai's RTMP URL on JWPlayer 4.5. The thing is.. the following URL format, as mentioned by @kLink, works fine in JW Player 4.0 (which I have been using upto now):
bc.. so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/path/to/filename");
but, this URL format doesnot work on JWPlayer 4.5, I have tried splitting the URL into a streamer and File, but it still doesnot work (like:)
bc.. so.addVariable("file","path/to/filename");
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://cp49576.edgefcs.net/ondemand/');
doesnot work. I get the error #2032 (I assume bad filename). I have also tried other combinations like:
bc.. so.addVariable("file","flash/path/to/filename");
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://cp49576.edgefcs.net/ondemand');
but, i get the same error (Error: 2032).. any suggestions?
Thanks,

You probably have to use the *streamer*, *file*, and *type* flashvars.
See: *http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats#Streamingservers* for the various types that can be used with the RTMP protocol from the major CDNs.
I'm not sure exactly when these types were introduced, so you might want to get the latest release from here: *http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/log/trunk/as3/player.swf?rev=261*
Click on the release that you want in the *Rev* column.

guytom,
The trick in 4.4+ is that the undocumented subscribe=true FlashVar has been replaced with type=fcsubscribe and plays through a seperate model. (subscribe=true does nothing now in the new versions of the player)

Ok, reading the posts above and using the online Setup Wizard (I assume it is using version 4.5), I was able to see my live akamai stream by populating the following variables:
file - {my streamname}
type - fcsubscribe
streamer - rtmp://cp{my id}.live.edgefcs.net/live
so assuming my streamname is mystream@1234 and my server is cp12345, the resulting code would look like this:
so.addVariable('file','mystream@1234');
so.addVariable('type','fcsubscribe');
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://cp12345.live.edgefcs.net/live');

Code for v4.x player:bc.. so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/path/to/filename");
*rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/* should be the URL to your stream/application
*path/to/filename* should be additional directories and the filename without an extension.
If the file is MP3 or MP4, use this form:bc.. so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/path/to/MP3:filename.mp3");
so.addVariable("file","rtmp://cp41571.edgefcs.net/ondemand/flash/path/to/MP4:filename.mp4");
You may not need some parts of the URL, like "flash", depending on your FMS server setup.
Also search for other posts on using FMS and RTMP by using the *Search this Site* for "FMS RTMP" etc.
