Need Help for HTTP streaming without using FMS?

Aug 25, 2011 7:53 AM

I want to use the pusedostreaming concept. I am using IIS for HTTP server and using the strobe player for playing the video. My main aim is to implement the seek functionality like YOUTUBE. So that user can easily seek any random position without waiting for dowloading the whole video. I dont want to use the FMS server for streaming. Currently i am using the video URL in the given below format:

 

http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/strobe/content/test/AFaerysTale_sylviaApo stol_640_500_short.flv

 

So please suggest me some tutorial or any kind of help so that i can proceed.

    HTTP Dynamic Streaming does not use FMS and runs as a Apache module to give psuedo streaming capabilities and more.
    Please refer to this documentation for all the details : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/HTTPStreaming/1.0/Using/httpdynamicstreami ng_help.pdf

     

    Livedocs: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/HTTPStreaming/1.0/Using/WS9463dbe8dbe45c4c -c126f3b1260533756d-7ffc.html

    Thank you !

    No, IIS is not supported for HTTP Dynamic Streaming. We only have apache modules made for it.

    Those are non-adobe solutions, and hence i cannot really comment about them.

    I am not sure of the Flow player, it is not based on the flash platform, though it looks like it can be customized by writing your own classes.

     

    The strobe media player is a sample player built on the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) that is in turn bsaed on the Flash Platform. You can create your own players like the strobe player using the OSMF or create a total framework on Flash.

     

    Flash does not support HTTP Dynamic Streaming with IIS. Simple progressive download is supported , which is always a direct option.

    Is there a HTML5/JS player to play Origin (f4m) based streams ?

    Starting with FMS 4.5, there is no need to prepare the f4m separately; it is generated automatically by the FMS (more specifically by the Apache module that handles HDS).  So you just upload your MP4/F4V file, and the server will dynamically package it for HDS delivery, which includes generation of the f4m. 

     

    The only f4m you need to create manually is If you want to do adaptive bitrate.  Then you need to create a "set" level f4m which describes the different bitrate streams that make up your stream set.  There is a utility tool that can help create this f4m, or it can be created by hand.

     

    On the client side, you would want to use an OSMF based player such as Strobe Media Playback; see http://osmf.org.

     

    Hope that helps.
