[SOLVED] embedding flash to html pages for an rtmp stream

tkmsr · 08-02-2010, 04:44 AM

Hi,
I am having a streaming server Red5 running on localhost.
I have a few HTML pages which should be serving those streams.

I read documentation given here
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support...mbedding-flash

and

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support...mbedding-flash
and the swfobject.js and player.swf are on same directory where the test.html page I created is present.

Following is the HTML code
Red5 is working on localhost.
Please see if some one can point out the error in it.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<title>JW Player for Flash</title>

<style type="text/css">
  
  body { background-color: #fff; padding: 0 20px;
       color:#000; font: 13px/18px Arial, sans-serif; }
   a { color: #360; }
  h3 { padding-top: 20px; }
  ol { margin:5px 0 15px 16px; padding:0; list-style-type:square; }

</style>
<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>

</head>
<body>

<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
 
<script type='text/javascript'>
  var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','mpl','470','290','9');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
  so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
  so.addVariable('file','avatar.flv');
  so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo');
  so.write('mediaspace');
</script>


</body>
</html>

Where did you get

Code:

so.addVariable('file','avatar.flv');

from ?

It's not mentioned on either the duplicate link that you posted or the link to version 5 from the page itself.

On this link they explained you need to have file and avatar.flv is a file which I have to stream.
I have avatar.flv in my streams folder (where all the videos are kept to stream)

Also on following link
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support...r-setup-wizard
there is a sample code generator.
I just gave the location of server on my lan in the second link above and it generated the script for me.
That player was able to play the flv on my Red5 installation on LAN.
You can also try if you do not have a installation of Red5 then on the second link for setup wizard they have given a dummy flv which is as an example and streams very well.
At the bottom you will get a code snippet that is what I had tried.

In that case I suggest using the full http address to the file, even if that's only http://localhost/filename.flv

tkmsr · 08-02-2010, 01:21 PM

Well now here comes the problem the files http address how do I determine that.
It is being served because of a Red5 application known as oflaDemo.
Please see this link
very clear explanation of what I am doing.

And what is the error ? No flash showing, no page, simple error page ?

There is a black flash player embedded in the html page and there is a circle which keeps on rotating as if it were trying to connect to the rtmp at localhost

According to one of the links you gave, the Red5 server comes with example flv files. Have you tried one of those instead of yours ?
Also, what happens if you follow the instructions in the second comment on this page (by joshhrob).

Yes I have tried the demo flv only.Infact I am trying that only.
And for the second comment I can see the desired flv.

I was able to solve this problem

The code on the first post of mine I have not kept it in Document Root of the webserver.
That was the only thing that was stopping things.
The website where I have to test all this is having heavy traffic so I could not disturb that web server I made a clone of entire setup and then this was the reason I had made all the html code in my home directory.
