Broadcast live to android browser

[cheinan]

Hello

i have a web internet live cams aplication and i am using adobe media server 5

i succeed to broadcast http live from web cam to web browser on apple devices using this url:

http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m

my question is about android browser:

is it possible to broadcast http live from web cam to android web browser using adobe media server 5?

and if so what is the url?

and if not although adobe took off the possibility to download from here site

flash player for android is there any other web page where users able to download adobe flash player for android browser?

or we are in a situation that its not possible to broadcast live from web cam to android browser

from both http or rmtp?

Hello, for rtmp you’d use Adobe AIR, for HTTP you’d still use AMS5. For the latter to work, you’d need an address like the one you’ve specified but with HLS in mind, e.g. . That’s provided your Android device supports HTML5.

sorry i did not understand

and i made mistake in my first post in the url

so i will try again - pleas halp me:

my users using only web browser!

the url to web browser in apple devices for http live streaming is:

http://server IP/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8

so the qustion is very simple:

an if so what is the stream url for html video tag in android browser?

and if not:

Can you explain the difference between Adobe AIR on the Android Browser, because the live stream from the AMS 5 server does not work. Nor does it work on the iPhone and iPad devices?

Is it possible to stream the live stream to the AMS 5 Professional Server in this Adobe AIR format?

I am trying to solve the problem of iPads, iPhones, Androids and Tablets that are not able to see the live broadcast.

Message was edited by: aruser Could you please explain how to get the video stream into this format or is it possible?

[Petro_O__Bochan]

Hello, you install Adobe AIR to devices like Android, iOS and stuff - http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tech-specs.html. For HTML5 video to work you don’t need Adobe AIR provided the target device supports HTML5. If hds/hls fails to play, please specify more details of your setup.

Please Let's go back to the original very simple question of this discussion

i will ask it as simple as possible:

the url to safari web browser html video tag in apple devices for http live streaming is:

<video src="http://server IP/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8">

What is the equivalent url to chrom web browser in android devices for http live streaming?

<video src="???">

please just write the url nothing more

and if there is not such url just say there is not

and i will ask the next very simple question

big thanks for your consideration

I dont have chrom web browser on my Andrioid Phone - but i just tried on Chrome Web Browser on Desktop - i dont think they support HLS - so there is no support at least on Desktop. But can's say for sure for Android - you can try this link and find out for yourself - http://www.longtailvideo.com/html5/hls/

[SE_0208]

I tried with one of my friends Samsung Galaxy S3 which had chrome browswer - it did not play HLS Stream

[cheinan]

Still did not got any answer and wolking at the dark...

the problam is that this question is very very very important and critical

to all apliction using adobe media server and web browsers

so i will try to ask it even in more simple way:

1.adobe took off flash player from android market

and there is only examples in all adobe halp how to brodcust in http live streming to apple browser (no android browser).

is it possible to brodcust to android chrom web browser from adobe media server? (please just answer in - yes or no).

and if yes:

if it is in HTTP Live streaming:

What is the html5 video tag src url to chrom web browser in android for http live streaming?

<video src="???">

or if it is by RTMP

all thow adobe took off flash player from android market and from here site is there is any other place to get it?

And if both is not possible basically adobe media server at the moment is not able to broadcast to android web browser...

please just confirm this or if i am wrong give direct simple answer so

i won't continue wolking at the dark...

I use this code for streaming live to android devices, some android devices work fine and others don't work at all. Seems like Android versions 4+ work most of the time and some Android 2.x work sometimes as well. From what I've read creating an Air App for Android is the way to go. But yeah I'm with you I can never get any straight answers from this forum or adobe.

Thanks!

Mr.Dave big thanks for your reply

if nobody from adobe is giving reasonable reply at this pathetic forum at list someone do...

i paid a lot of money for adobe media server....

the minimum support i will expect from adobe is to get back a serious professional forum...

Mr.Dave cen you please clarify to me little point:

you said you use this url:
http://FMS.domain.net/livestream.m3u8

what about all the other stuff in apple url:

http://server IP/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8

i meen:

hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/

unlike to broadcast to safari browser to chrom browser you do not have to use them?

Another thing i must tell you

i thought about cheking if the android browser viewer have flash or not and if yes broadcast to him in normal RTMP

so i asked this question in this forum:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1109660

you must read the whole discussion its even more "sad" and "hard going" then this one...

maybe you cen give me a good reply there?

big thans again

Here's the full URL I use for Android devices, like I said some Android devices will work and others don't. So it's not 100% but it helps.

<video id="liveWebcast" controls width="512" height="288" poster="posters/poster.jpg" preload="none" data-setup="{}">

<source type="video/mp4" src="http://FMS.domain.net/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream.m3u8">

Yeah FMS costs a lot and I would expect better documentation, examples, and sample code to be available for common tasks.

I've been waiting for the Streaming to Android documentation to appear on Adobe's website for awhile it's been coming soon for several years now.

Hello Dave, isn’t that the link with the steps to stream content to devices http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.2.3.html?

[Mr_Dave]

Yeah that link with steps always mentions iOS devices but not one peep about Android devices which are just as popular.
