How to use RTMP streams with Flash

i am restoring an older backup now, so it will work again. But I am not quite confident, a future update of the plugin wont’t ruin it again. If you would want to investigate this problem, please feel free to contact me to get my login data. Cheers, have a nice weekend!

Hi, my problem seems solved. But as soon as i upgraded to the latest version, the live stream did not work anymore.

I have these settings in fv player:

`[fvplayer src="http://81.171.19.137/live/test/index.m3u8" rtmp="rtmp://81.171.19.137/" rtmp_path="/live/test" live="true" width="600" height="380"]`

and on my VPS, I run ngnix with this script:

worker_processes  1;
error_log  logs/error.log debug;
events {
worker_connections  1024;
}
rtmp {
server {
listen 1935;
allow play all;

#creates our "live" full-resolution HLS videostream from our incoming encoder stream and tells where to put the HLS video manifest and video fragments
application live {
allow play all;
live on;
record all;
record_path /video_recordings;
record_unique on;
hls on;
hls_nested on;
hls_path /HLS/live;
hls_fragment 10s;

#creates the downsampled or "trans-rated" mobile video stream as a 400kbps, 480x360 sized video
exec ffmpeg -i rtmp://81.171.19.137:1935/$app/$name -acodec copy -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -profile:v baseline -vsync cfr -s 480x360 -b:v 400k maxrate 400k -bufsize 400k -threads 0 -r 30 -f flv rtmp://81.171.19.137:1935/mobile/$;
}

#creates our "mobile" lower-resolution HLS videostream from the ffmpeg-created stream and tells where to put the HLS video manifest and video fragments
application mobile {
allow play all;
live on;
hls on;
hls_nested on;
hls_path /HLS/mobile;
hls_fragment 10s;
}

#allows you to play your recordings of your live streams using a URL like "rtmp://my-ip:1935/vod/filename.flv"
application vod {
play /video_recordings;
}
}
}

http {
include       mime.types;
default_type  application/octet-stream;

server {
listen 80;
server_name 81.171.19.137;

#creates the http-location for our mobile-device HLS stream - "http://my-ip/mobile/my-stream-key/index.m3u8"
location /mobile {
types {
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
}
alias /HLS/mobile;
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
}

#allows us to see how stats on viewers on our Nginx site using a URL like: "http://my-ip/stats"
location /stats {
stub_status;
}

#allows us to host some webpages which can show our videos: "http://my-ip/my-page.html"
location / {
root   html;
index  index.html index.htm;
}
}
}

I wil update to the latest fv again, I hope it works now.. If not, any help is highly appreciated! I will keep you informed. Cheers!

Wow! I cracked it. The problem was entirely my fault!

[fvplayer src="http://81.171.19.137/live/test/index.m3u8" rtmp="rtmp://81.171.19.137:1935/HLS/live" rtmp_path="test" live="true" splash="http://vocalfeedbackacademy.vocalmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/cropped-VFMLogo2016-Diapositief-1280.png" width="600" height="380"]

instead of:

[fvplayer src="http://81.171.19.137/live/test/index.m3u8" rtmp="rtmp://81.171.19.137:1935/live" rtmp_path="test" live="true" splash="http://vocalfeedbackacademy.vocalmedia.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/cropped-VFMLogo2016-Diapositief-1280.png" width="600" height="380"]

the bug in the previous version somehow allowed the wrong stream to be played. But since you fixed it, the code was tried first. And that code was faulty.

I guess now is the time for me to buy a license.

One more question though: is it possible to play stored videos (VOD) with fv without the viewer downloading the video simply by rightclicking? I know jwplayer does that, i already use that, but I would rather stick to only one player. Which would be fv ofcourse.

thanks for your support!

Dear Alec,
tonight I was set up and ready to start my weekly live stream from my website. There was nothing visible anymore in fvplayer. I checked my stream from OBS to my VPS. That was fine: I saw flv files being created, which I could download and look at. So the server was recieving the right signal. But between the server and the website, there was something wrong. I checked the script of fv player. That had not changed since last week, when I did my last broadcast. Then I saw fv player offered to be updated. So I guessed, maybe that could help. But it didn’t. So I am stuck here. Not a single setting has changed since my last working broadcast. So please help me out on this one. Thanks!
