Server Side Playlist

[rafargb]

Hello

I would like to ask for a FUNCTIONAL example of a server side playlist.

I try to follow many docs from adobe, but it's not clear, much different from wowza

I have a VOD service.

Inside media folder, a lot of videos FLV.

I wanna to create a channel, that will play a continuous playlist for example

movie1.flv

movie2.flv

movie3.flv

at ends, back to movie1.flv

How it works?

Thanks,

Rafael

Have you checked this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d117-7fccDev.2...

Yes,

But doesn´t works ... the Adobe Documentation is very poor ... We pay $5000 USD for a software that nothing works in a simple way ...

[SE_0208]

application.onAppStart = function(){

    this.myStream = Stream.get("serverplaylist");

  this.myStream.play("movie1",0,-1,true );

  this.myStream.play("movie2", 0, -1, false);

  this.myStream.play("movie3", 0, -1, false);

  this.myStream.play("movie1",0,-1,false );

}

try above code and let me know what issue do you face. Its very simple code, we can tweak it further as per your use case.

I think the problem is related to player side.

As I know, and looked for JWPLayer and FlowPlayer does not support server side playlists ...

I m wrong?

Because I need to trigger the playlist, calling serverplaylist as stream name right?

[SE_0208]

I have not used JWPlayer and FlowPlayer but i dont see why they should not support Server-side playlist.

From above example - You need to play the stream at client side as below

ns.play("serverplaylist",-1,-1,true) where "ns" is client-side netstream.

Basically you need to play on client with stream name as "serverplaylist" and mode as "live"

My server side code:

main.asc

application.onAppStart = function(){

  this.myStream = Stream.get("serverplaylist");

  this.myStream.play("two-01-01.flv",0,-1,true );

  this.myStream.play("two-01-02.flv", 0, -1, false);

  this.myStream.play("two-01-01.flv",0,-1,false );

}

My application.xml is the same as VOD application.

My Player Code:

<object width="600" height="409">

<param name="movie" value="assets/players/adobe/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf"></param>

<param name="flashvars" value="src=rtmp://fms-03.xpsnetworks.net/tvthudinha/serverplaylist&initialBufferTime=10&expandedBufferTime=120&minContinuousPlaybackTime=60"></param>

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>

<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>

<embed

src="assets/players/adobe/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

allowscriptaccess="always"

allowfullscreen="true"

width="600"

height="409"

flashvars="src=rtmp://fms-03.xpsnetworks.net/tvthudinha/serverplaylist&initialBufferTime=10&expandedBufferTime=120&minContinuousPlaybackTime=60">

</embed>

</object>

If I play the two-01-01.flv at SRC field, I can watch the movie, but when I call the playlist, doesnt works .. keep buffering and nothing happens.

You mean, I should develop my own player?

I attempt here: http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/# and at jwplayer without sucess

No tutorials, nothing on google ... I think this function NEVER WORKS ...

[aruser]

You are trying to use jwplayer correct ?

[rafargb]

I try to use JW, FlowPlayer ... and look for other client side players on the web .. nothing works ...

If I call the videoname works, but when I call the playlist name, serverplaylist still buffering and nothing happens.

I have also tryed this code:

application.onAppStart = function(){

  this.myStream = Stream.get("mp4:serverplaylist.f4v");

  this.myStream.record();    

  this.myStream.play("two-01-01.flv",0,-1,true );

  this.myStream.play("two-01-02.flv", 0, -1, false);

  this.myStream.play("two-01-01.flv",0,-1,false );

}

I saw a file serverplaylist.f4v bein created inside the vod/media directory but its 0 byte and also I got this message at core.log

2013-01-04     13:37:34     16058     (i)2611173     Metadata not available before the flush of first segment. Default metadata recorded for stream /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media/serverplaylist.f4v     -

2013-01-04     13:38:28     16058     (i)2611173     Metadata not available before the flush of first segment. Default metadata recorded for stream /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media/serverplaylist.f4v     -

I beleive the path to FLV files are correct? These files are inside the vod/media directory

If you are using just flash other devices like Android/iPhones/iPads/Macs will not work.

Are you using another media formats?

Do you have a custom set of code you can post?

[rafargb]

I m just using flash - html

My HTML file player is:

<div id="mediaplayer"></div>

<script type='text/javascript' src='assets/players/jw/jwplayer.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace' align="center"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">

  jwplayer('mediaplayer').setup({

    'id': 'playerID',

    'width': '600',

    'height': '400',

    'provider': 'rtmp',

    'bufferlength': '8',

    'streamer': 'rtmp://fms-03.xpsnetworks.net/tvthudinha/mp4:serverplaylist.f4v',

    'autostart': 'true',

    'file': 'serverplaylist',

    'modes': [

        {type: 'flash', src: 'assets/players/jw/player.swf'}

    ]

  });

</script>

I have tried alot of options between file and streamer .. no one works ...

[rafargb]

Now it works ...

NOTE:

At server code, you CAN'T use the file extension if it's an FLV file ...

application.onAppStart = function(){

  this.myStream = Stream.get("serverplaylist");

  this.myStream.record();    

  this.myStream.play("two-01-02",0,-1,true );

  this.myStream.play("two-01-02", 0, -1, false);

  this.myStream.play("two-01-01",0,-1,false );

}

Do your video work with handheld devices like Android/iPhone/iPad ?

Can you post your code/data?
