Question

audio-only streaming

Hi there,

Does anybody knows if it it possible to stream only audio?

I'd like to stream video+audio (different qualities : ~1000 kbps and ~400 kbps) and audio only for low-bandwidth (~128 kbps).

Adobe Flash Media Encoder Live allows me to stream different qualities. And what about audio-only stream?

And of course I don't want just to hide video on client-side.

Thanks everyone.

    Workaround which Nikhil suggested might work if you are able to get same audio source linked to both FMLE instances but it won't gurantee sync among streams while switching like in MBR set - if this is what you are looking for.

    Like Nikhil said before - as of now niether FMLE or FMS support Audio-only stream as part of Audio-Video Stream MBR set.But hopefully in future we will have that kind of support in server or encoder.

    Hi,

    Thanks for using FMS.

    Yes it is possible to send one video+audio stream and another audio only stream to FMS. Or even, a single audio stream alone is good enough to be sent to FMS.

    But, FMLE as of now , does not have support for two streams to be sent where one is video + audio and the other only audio. As a workaround, you can have two instances of FMLE opened (on the same machine even) and can try this.

    Does that help you ?
    Thank you !
