3- Ondemand Streaming, with the option to upload videos and create playlists.

4- Live Camera Restream, used for IP cameras, the output of IP camera is normally RTSP or RTP ( example: rtsp://[camera-ip-address]:554/axis-media/media.amp ).

This format RTP or RTSP is useless for players, by using our wowza server and the Live Camera Re-Stream we convert this signal for playback on all supported player technologies. Some cameras are not supported, please open a ticket and email us the rtsp or rtp for us to check if it works on our wowza servers.

testing a red5 live streaming rtmp, plus creating a player for the rtmp

We created an app for live streaming here.

Now we going to test it and create a player code so we can start streaming to our site.

Do you have fmle installed on your computer? You need to download it from adobe.

Lets test it first, go to

http://209.95.39.220/test/

enter the rtmp of your app. the rtmp is

rtmp://server IP/app

so:

rtmp://RED5_SERVER_IP/live221

Enter this URL on the long string and click connect, now click “Publish” your camera will start,  and now click “Play” if the 2 players show the same thing you are on. Everything is good.

OK, now we have to work on “stream name”. We talked about rtmp, and we tested it, the testing site if you go back to it

http://209.95.39.220/test/

it has a stream name, “testing” this must be on both the publishing and on the player.

so it must be on the FMLE and on the player code.

fmle

(click on the image to have a better view)

the FMLE on the left you have your settings, frame per second, bitrate, your camera, format.

on the red5 server your bitrate should be about 320kbps higher then that you need a lot of RAM and server resources.

lets configure the fmle as the image shows.

on the right on the FMS URL enter the rtmp and on the stream enter your chosen stream name, in this case I entered “live” see image.

click connect, and then below click “Start”

you now streaming to your server.

 

Now creating a player for this stream. Go to

http://www.hosting-marketers.com/generator/

at the bottom on the “Streamer” enter the rtmp:

rtmp://RED5_SERVER_IP/live221

and on “Stream / File Name” enter the stream name, which we used on the FMLE, “live”

Click  “Generate Code!”

Take the “Preview & Embed” code, paste on your site and that’s it.

You can also use an image on the player, it will show before the user click to play,  enter the image URL on “Overlay Poster”

Getting Event Cue Points to work with Red5 0.8 and Red5 0.9.1

I’ve written a flash app (in AS3) that streams video to a red5 server (over RMTP of course) and embeds event cue points into the stream. The red5 server is using the OFLA demo that comes with red5, which converts the streams to FLV files. I then have another flash app that reads the FLV (over HTTP in this case not RTMP) and calls a function when an event cue point is reached while playing the FLV.
Now – the code you need to write to ensure that the cue points get properly written into the FLV depends on what RED5 version you are running. The code I’m talking about is the AS3 code in the app that streams the video. When you want to insert an event cuepoint you need to format the “send” function call with the following code (where ns is the netstream object):


For Red5 0.8

ns.send(“onCuePoint”, cueData);

For Red5 0.9.1

ns.send(“@setDataFrame”, ”onCuePoint”, cueData);

And thats pretty much it. And the other thing you need to ensure is that when you are setting up your netconnection, make sure you are using AMF0 encoding. I noticed this is needed for cue points to be added successfully in the right format.

nc.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0

Red5 Webapps Online Application Generator

The Red5 Webapps Online Application Generator is a very simple but effective utility to generate Red5 application online. This application gives you the power to create red5 applications without having any knowledge of programming. You can generate streamer applications, with live broadcasting, streaming, recording and shared-Object capabilities in a single click. No compiling/editing needed.

The application takes configuration inputs using a simple flash based front end, and generated red5 application for you by injecting those informations into a application template at runtime.

The generator is located here Red5/Webapps Application Generator.

How to use:

1. Select a Red5 application from the drop down list of available applications. You can read the description of the application in the description box, once you have selected a application.

2. Then enter the name of your rtmp application in the text input box provided below the application list drop down. (no spaces). This will be the context name that you will connect to : rtmp://server/appname

3. Below the description box, you will find the Stream Directory Path option. Use this to select between absolute/relative path schemes. This will set the location for recording/playing streams using the application. In many cases where you may want the streams directory to be on a location other than the default streams folder under red5, you can use absolute path scheme to specify the path to your custom streams directory.

To select a path scheme select one of the radio buttons .

4. Enter appropriate relative/absolute paths in the text input boxes.

For absolute path scheme on linux file systems , use : /home/……

For absolute path scheme on windows use : c:/…..

* Relative path schemes remain same for linux and windows , though you wont use ../ to traverse backwards in either.

5. Press Generate & Download button to generate the specific application from its application template.

6. Press ok when your are prompted to download your application.

7. You may also want to read the description text to kn ow more about the selected application before generating your own copy.
