Hi,

I’m also having some trouble. I managed to make an application for my Nokia E51, so I can view a live rtmp feed from a local TV channel.

The only problem is, it’s working reaaaal slow on my E51. In Device Central everything is fine. On my handheld the audio is ok, but video is in slowmotion.

Anyway I could tweak the NetStream to make it work ?
I tried modifying the flash quality, and even with Low, the same behaviour.

I got this problem in live streaming from my camera to the mobile phone. This is my setup:

1. FME 2.5
2. Flash Device central
3. Red5 server

Problem: I can broadcast the video from my local camera to the server and viewing the stream using the web is ok but if viewing the stream using the e71 device inside the flash device central the video is slow moving..sometimes freezes (displays “NetStream.Buffer.Empty” or “NetStream.Buffer.Full”). I’m afraid its the settings i used when publishing my live video. Below are the details i used.

VIDEO:
Size: 160×120
Bit rate: 650 Kbps
Fps: 15
AUDIO:
Format: NellyMoser (Mono)
Sample rate: 8000 Hz
Bit rate: 16 kbps

Any suggested and tested video and audio settings? Once i can figure out here I’ll just post back here also. Thanks for the share in advance.

Hi PTM, Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I am trying to write a live video app. My record code publishes the live camera video from AS. And my player code plays it from FMS3. But I found the video will show only the first Fram then freezes. I have look around some threads, this seems like a problem with FMS3 or FL3. Have you try this scenario yet? Or anybody has a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

Tonydep,

you can use your laptop as local server and connect that ip from flash lite 3.0 application.

Hi ptm,
I’m an italian student and I would ask you some help with your experiment. I can install flash media server on my laptop and use it as local server, or I need a web server that support flash media?
Thank a lot!

Eidur,

I dont have any special settings in encoder, just default settings in Flash Media Encoder 2.

hello ptm.

This is a great guide, I just tried it yesterday and works fine.
I was wondering what setting you use in encoder when streaming:bitrate,fsp mostly.

cos my video on my N95-8GB is playing like in slowmotion then skipping frames but plays fine on my pc and mac.

any tips ?
