Hello Pavlos,
unfortunately f4m is not a HTML5 compatible video format. Can you get HLS M3U8 instead?
If you can send us your f4m file, we can double check.
Thanks,
MartinHi, thank you for your answer.
I run my experiment server locally and i am trying to find out the best compatibility method, for http streaming instead of rtmp.
HLS is iphone only but i would like also android and flash compatible devices over http.thank you
Hello pavlos,
is it a live stream?
Could streaming HLS using Flash help?
Thanks,
MartinI experiment for a live stream.
yes if i could play hls over http flash would be great.Thank you
Hello Pavlos,
f4m is not a HTML5 video format.
We are checking if we can add support for HLS in Flash. It would be a fair amount of work, but we will keep you posted. Perhaps there is an easier option.
Thanks,
MartinI run in the following error :
I’ve created these settings: [fvplayer controlbar = "show" live = "true" src='http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live/livestream' src1='http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live/livestream/playlist.m3u8' rtmp="rtmp://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live" rtmp_path="livestream" ]
These settings are fine when i use it on IOS systems (ipad & iphone). If i click play on flash players (firefox, chrome) i receive the message “flash: video file not found” and can’t view my video.
If i change the order of src -> src1 -> rtmp TO src -> rtmp -> src1 in wp post settings the live video is showing fine on flash player (firefox, chrome) but is not showing in IOS (ipad, iphone) with message “html5: video file not found”.
Please can you help me ?
Hello Pavlos,
let’s have a look:
1) src=’http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live/livestream’ – are you sure this one works? It looks just like your RTMP stream. You can’t post your RTMP URL as HTTP.
2) src1=’http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live/livestream/playlist.m3u8′ – this looks like a proper HLS stream
3) rtmp=”rtmp://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live” rtmp_path=”livestream” – this looks like a proper RTMP stream info
Solution – you to only enter the HLS path as src (first video source) and then the RTMP details.
The problem is that users without Flash who are not Safari or iDevices can’t play HLS and neither they can play RTMP. So I guess that’s why you tried to enter the RTMP via HTTP as some alternative distribution on HTTP would be required for these users.
Thanks,
MartinYes this setting is worked.
src=’http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live/livestream/playlist.m3u8′
rtmp=”rtmp://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:1935/live” rtmp_path=”livestream”Thank you for your help.
Got this error when testing cdn sun. I don’t know what it is. I can’t read part of it because the text is white.

the f4m manifests are not currently supported, but I see it would be a useful feature as they can contain information about quality versions of the same video. It would make entering multiple qualities much simpler.
However your f4m contains only one file, so it’s a bit pointless. Can you get a f4m file with different video qualities in it?
Thanks,
MartinHello,
I need to show the live stream, I am using FV WP Flowplayer plug-in with the following entry, but it is showing error:
[fvplayer controlbar = "show" live = "true" src='http://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live/dwd1.stream/manifest.f4m' ]I have the following information from the client:
rtsp://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live/dwd1.stream
http://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live/dwd1.stream/manifest.f4mCould you please help to show the live video from any of the above url from your WP plug-in.
Many Thanks.
Hello Amit,
are your f4m files containing multiple quality streams? We could add a support for this, but would like to see some nice f4m stream for testing before we decide to implement this.
Thanks,
MartinHi Martin,
Many thanks for the reply. Not sure for multiple quality stream but I have the following output for the url “http://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live/dwd1.stream/manifest.f4m”:
<manifest><id>dwd2.stream</id><width>640</width><height>400</height><mimeType>video/mp4</mimeType><streamType>live</streamType><deliveryType>streaming</deliveryType><media width=”640″ height=”400″ bitrate=”177″ url=”media_b181821_w1359884998.abst/”><metadata>AgAKb25N…</metadata></media><bootstrapInfo profile=”named” url=”playlist_b181821_w1359884998.abst”/></manifest>Could you please guide me where to go now ?
Thanks.Hello Amit,
it should be possible to just copy the file path. So in your above case, assuming it’s an RTMP stream (you haven’t posted the full metadata, we can’t check it without that), following should work:
[fvplayer rtmp="http://xxx.xxx.com:1935/live" rtmp_path="media_b181821_w1359884998.abst"]
Also, the bitrate is just 177, so it must be a very low quality stream.
Thanks,
MartinPLEASE ANY ONE CAN HELP WITH THIS…..
Hello sethy,
your link doesn’t open anymore. We plan to add support for MPEG-DASH, perhaps you can use that format as well.
Thanks,
