Hallo.
I want integrate rtmp streaming.
With the jwplayer it’s possible[jwplayer file="folder/folder/sample.mp4" streamer="rtmp://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/oflaDemo" provider="rtmp" image="http://xxxxxxxx.com/folder/demo.jpg" high:240 width:320]Which syntax I must write for fv-wordpress-flowplayer?
Thanks for help

Hello Tekohas,
I added this into our documentation. Please check it out here: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/user-guide#rtmp
I assume that the “streamer” above is the RTMP server URL, so that should go into Settings -> FV WordPress Flowplayer -> “Amazon CloudFront domain” and then rtmp://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/folder/folder/sample.mp4 should be used as the src in the shortcode.
Could you please let us know if it helped with your issue?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi,
Why is it you appear to rewrite the RTMP request? I’m trying to make this work, but when I key in for example rtmp://edge2.zcastlive.net/vod/zCastLive-480p.mp4 it makes a call to rtmp://edge2.zcastlive.net/cfx/blahblahblahwhateverhere.
Is this something you wedged in for Amazon compatibility? If so, can you please make an option to disable so those of us not using Amazon have some hope? :)
thanks,

Hello Chris,
we try to autodetect the address of your Flash streaming server. On Amazon for a video like rtmp://example.amazonaws.com/video.mp4 it’s rtmp://example.amazonaws.com/cfx/st and video.mp4 is the filename.
Please let us know what address you need to use and we will check if it works and fix our parsing if needed.
Thanks for your bug report!

Hi Martin,
the example I gave (the first one, not the blahblah) is a valid RTMP streaming location. So Servername: edge2.zcastlive.net , application (aka folder) vod then stream name: zCastLive-480p.mp4. Sometimes one needs to add the port number so it may need to be rtmp://edge2.zcastlive.net:1935/vod/zCastLive-480p.mp4
Basically if you’re not calling amazonaws.xxx or cloudfront.xxx or something similar you probably shouldn’t appened the /cfx/st/ bit. Or maybe if the user specifies a path after the hostname then you can use it instead of the Amazon specific path. Another option maybe would be a checkbox for AWS / non-AWS ?
thanks,

Hello Chris,
obviously we need different RTMP URL parsing for different servers.
We released version 2.1.21 which lets you enter the RTMP streaming server and RTMP video path independently for each video.
Here’s the user guide: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/rtmp-streams
Please let us know how it works for you.
Thanks,
Martin
Cool. This works for RTMP to private servers now. Thanks!
Now to figure out a way to get other formats to work. :) I’ll search to see if there’s a proper thread already created, if not I’ll start a new one.

Hi,
could you please let me know if it is possible to setup the player with a preference from HTML5 to Flash fallback and then to HLS on iOS? I mean I will need to have a fallback from RTMP to HLS.
Thanks!
Hello Jinobi,
we haven’t noticed issues with such setup. Simply enter the M3U8 HLS file as the first source, then the MP4 file and also RTMP server and path. Full instructions for using RTMP are posted here, both MP4 and HLS are easy to enter, as they are just URLs.
Thanks,
Martin
I’m using Red5 for RTMP streaming – i’ve got my stream working with the regular version of Flowplayer, but i’m having trouble getting it to work in WordPress. Forgive my ignorance, but there is one very important concept that i am not grasping.
Regarding the format “rtmp://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/folder/folder/sample.mp4” – the first part is the RTMP stream and the second part is the path to the file – but what i am not understanding is: If i am ‘creating’ the stream live (ie – dj’ing live) – how can i have that FLV file already sitting on my server – does that make sense? In other words, how can i provide a path to an FLV file that has not technically been created?
just to clarify further – i am able to stream and view the stream in the provided “oflaDemo” that comes with Red5 – i am also able to stream using an embedded player on a regular HTML page – but can’t get it to work for WordPress
Got it sorted – i used the name of my stream – however, there are three dots going across the player while i’m streaming (?)
Hello djkfunk,
sorry about the delay in my reply.
Could you please use the video checker to report the exact stream which is causing issues?
Perhaps you have turned off the meta data in your RTMP server.
Thanks,
Martin
