http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a338-8000.htm....

can somehelp help me out . am i missing some this . i would ideally need the live video play with http syntax .

mtp://2.68.1.5/livepkgr/livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent -

http://2.68.1.5/livepgr/livestream?adbe-live-event==livestream doesnt work

[hparmar]

The URL for consuming http live streaming is not correct...

it should be something like this

http://10.40.63.195/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m           for HDS player

and

http://10.40.63.195/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8            for HLS player.

Thanks Hparmar , i tried the above links still Iam not able to stream single live link .

i see .bootstrap , .control , .meta , f4f,f4x and .stream files .

on my encoder Fms url is rtmp://localhost/livepkgr and stream is livestreamnow .

on browser url when i try http://serverip/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevents/livestreamnow.f4m - it says f4m document contains errors URL missing from tag " .

my manifest file

<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">

  <baseURL>http://</baseURL>

  <media href="http://2.68.1.8/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestreamnow.f4m" bitrate="650"/>

xml in browser displays this

manifest><id>

        livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent

    </id><streamType>

        live

    </streamType><duration>

        0

    </duration></manifest> .

can someone help me with this , how to proceed further ?

[hparmar]

Firstly your f4m url specifies "liveevents"  I think it should be liveevent...Secondly you should first try to publish with stream name as livestream%i in FMLE..and you should not change Manifest.xml file as supplied directly... The %i directs FMLE to publish streams with names as livestream1, livestream2 e.t.c if it case of Multi bitrate stream.

[sreem96536221]

thanks hparmar ,  do i need to follow this syntax  livestream?adbe-live-event=livestream on url ?

in the default manifest.xml file i have changed streamid from livestream1 to livestreamnow . do i need to revert it back ?

[hparmar]

it should be livestream%i?adbe-live-event=livestream and change manifest.xml to its original state i.e one where it has the following text in it

<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">

  <media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="100" />

  <media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="200" />

  <media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="350" />

</manifest>

First see how it works and only after you are familiar with it should you try to change stream names...It is all documented in help docs..you should read help docs

[sreem96536221]

changed manifest.xml files to original state .

fms url: rtmp://localhost/livepkgr

stream : livestream%i?adbe-live-event=livestream

http://2.68.1.8/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m . it displays following error " we are having problem with your playback, we apologize for inconvience ".

Hi,

Can you please use server IP instead of using localhost in FMLE rtmp url: while publishing this livestream and then check.

Let me know if you need any help.

Puspendra

thanks pusendra ,

Tried using server ip instead of localhost . still no luck . it display f4m document contains errors , url missing from media tag and xml file  doesnot show any content.

can you please help me in debugging the issue .

manifest><id>

        livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent

    </id><streamType>

        live

    </streamType><duration>

        0

    </duration></manifest> .

[Pushpendra_yadav1]

Sure Sree, I am here to help you. Lets start from the beginning. Please follow these steps and let me know how it goes for you.

1. Stop FMS.

2. Delete streams folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\applications\livepkgr)

3. Delete .STREAM file created under this location (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent)

4. Start FMS.

5. Go to FMLE settings and make sure you have stream name as: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent and Server URI as: rtmp://<serverip>/livepkgr

6.Start publishing your stream.

7. Go to livepkgr application folder and check if .stream files are created under liveevent (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent) and check if livestream1, livestream2 and livestream3 folders are created under definst folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_). And inside every livestream folder make sure .bootstarp, .f4f, .f4x and .control files are created.

8. After that please try and play your http live streaming on browser and see if it works or not. URI: http://serverip/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m

Please let me know in case you face any problem.

Regards,

Puspendra

thanks puspendra for the getting back. yes i did try above steps .

after publishing the stream i see a livestream1 folder with all f4f,f4x and control files , but don't see livestream2 , livestream3 folders . ( since iam trying to play a single stream , do i need to see livestream2 , livestream3 folders too ?)

even after changing the above when i try on browser  http://2.68.1.8/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.fm , it gives " f4m document contains errors and url missing from tag " and xml displays

manifest><id>

        livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent

    </id><streamType>

        live

    </streamType><duration>

        0

    </duration></manifest>

thanks

No you wouldn't see a livestream2 and livestream3 folder since you are publishing a single stream from FMLE.  Can you please use livestream1 in your URI and then check with your f4m file. And it seems that bootstrap file is not getting generated in your livestream folder.

May I know did you make any changes in the livepkgr application.

Puspendra

thanks

harish

[sreem96536221]

also i notice that  .stream is getting generated on the _definist_/livestream rather than _definist_/liveevent.

[sreem96536221]

Hi , can someone help me out why the stream is not playing .

thanks

sree

[Pushpendra_yadav1]

Hi Harish,

Apologies for the delay in response, could you please check if you have a crossdmain.xml file placed inside webroot folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Server 5\webroot) and make sure you are using the server IP in FMLE fms url field.

An example of crossdomain is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- http://www.osmf.org/crossdomain.xml -->

<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

<cross-domain-policy>

    <allow-access-from domain="*" />

    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>

</cross-domain-policy>

Regards,

Puspendra
