RTMP file src HELP @_@!!

[rliriano]

How can I play a audio file from a rtmp source like so: rtmp://cp26114.edgefcs.net/ondemand/folder/folder/folder/folder/folder/folder/filename.flv

Do I need to add anything to the JplayerRtmp.as?

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

This is my code now:

         (function($){
            $(document).ready(function(){

                new jPlayerPlaylist({
                   jPlayer: ".jp-player",
                   cssSelectorAncestor: ".jp-container"
                   }, [{
                                  title:"Song Title",
                          rtmpa:"rtmp://cp26115.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mpub/mps/catalog_95/000/000/044/asset_118/Beneath_Dead_Leaves.flv",
},], {
                   swfPath: "/js/Jplayer.swf",
                   solution: "html, flash",
                   preload: "auto",
                   supplied: "rtmpa",
                           wmode: "transparent",
                   volume: 0.9,
                   smoothPlayBar: true,
                   keyEnabled: true,
                   verticalVolume: false,cssSelector: {
                       gui: ".jp-gui",
                       play: ".jp-play",
                       pause: ".jp-pause",
                       seekBar: ".jp-seek-bar",
                       volumeBar: ".jp-volume-bar",
                       volumeBarValue: ".jp-volume-bar-value",
                       currentTime: ".jp-current-time",
                       duration: ".jp-duration",
                       gui: ".jp-gui",
                       noSolution: ".jp-no-solution"
                    },
                    errorAlerts: true,
                    warningAlerts: true
                });

            });
         })(jQuery)                 

There isn't any errors on the page but the player wont play the track.

Support requests are usually handled on the jPlayer Google Group A link to your project also helps us review and look for problems.

In general, your code looks ok... I have not tried using class selectors with the playlist object, but that should not matter.

Have you been able to get the single player working with your rtmp url?

[rliriano]

Yes Ive used the single player and it still doesn't play

[rliriano]

and this is my player build:

<div class="jp-player"></div>
<div class="jp-container">
    <div class="jp-gui">
        <div class="jp-volume-bar">
            <div class="jp-volume-bar-value"></div>
        </div>
        <ul class="jp-controls">
            <li><a href="" class="jp-previous">A</a></li>
            <li><a href="" class="jp-play">C</a></li>
            <li><a href="" class="jp-pause">c</a></li>
            <li><a href="" class="jp-next">B</a></li>
        </ul>
        <div class="jp-progress">
            <div class="jp-seek-bar">
                <div class="jp-play-bar"></div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="jp-time">
            <div class="jp-current-time">00:00</div>
            <div class="jp-duration">00:00</div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="jp-playlist">
        <ul></ul>
    </div>
   <div class="jp-no-solution">
         <span>Update Required</span> To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your <a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/" target="_blank">Flash plugin</a>.
   </div>
</div>

Oh... Does your RTMP / FLV stream have metadata in it? jPlayer Known Issues: Flash and m4a/m4v/flv Metadata

I made a mock up using your URL on my system and replicated your problem... I see the Flash try and play it and the timeupdate events being generated, but it never plays.

[happyworm]

Another clue is that the duration does not update, which is a sign that the metadata is not being found... But the loadedmetadata event occurring contradicts that.

[rliriano]

How can I add the event to see the metadata to my code?

[happyworm]

One way would be to add the jPlayer inspector and then it does stuff like that for you. That was what I used...

Otherwise, the usual way from the documentation.

$('#my-jplayer-id').on($.jPlayer.event.loadedmetadata, function(event) {
   console.log('Boom! The event goodies are: %o', event.jPlayer);
});

[rliriano]

Ive tried everything but I still cant get that file to play :(

[happyworm]

Maybe @rmhall knows the reason why.

If it is actually a file, then try playing it as an flv/fla format in jPlayer. As in , not through the RTMP server, but directly to the file.

[rmhall]

Hi - I tested the RTMP stream URL in question on Akamai with their tester here: http://support.akamai.com/flash/index.html?autostart=true&url=rtmp%3A//cp26115.edgefcs.net/ondemand/mpub/mps/catalog_95/000/000/044/asset_118/Beneath_Dead_Leaves.flv and it does stream fine. I'll take a look and see what might be the issue with jPlayer, I have a feeling its just the formatting of the RTMP url - will update this again when I have had a chance to confirm that.

[rliriano]

Awesome thanks @rmhall & @happyworm

[rmhall]

Ok so its not the formatting of the URL - there is metadata in the FLV, but the duration is coming back as 0, even though the metadata indicates it is 187.554 seconds in length. I'll have to dig a little deeper into this later after work - could be because of the differences in the metadata format for .flv's versus .mp3 and mp4, etc.

In the meantime, I would try replacing that file, and or re-encoding the meta-data in it. Also, unless you actually have video in the file, I'd suggest replacing this with an .mp3, or .mp4 audio only file.

[happyworm]

Thanks @rmhall

Have you had any success after re-encoding the files @rliriano ?

[rliriano]

@happyworm I need them to be .flv format, I have tried several tracks but with no luck

[happyworm]

Did we get any resolution to this?

The problem appeared to be related to the duration metadata, but we were not sure why the FLV duration was being read in as zero.

[rliriano]

Still no solution to this at all :/

[rliriano]

Hey did you guys even find anything on this? @happyworm @rmhall

[spiralvisum]

Hi.

I am using Nginx to rtmp stream .mp4 audio files. I would much rather use jplayer, but am having to use jwplayer because of an issue I can't quite figure out.

Here is what my URL looks like rtmp://IP:PORT/myapp/mp4:/content_id/001.mp4?pass=encryptedhash

I can get it to work in Akamai's tester, but jplayer doesn't seem to like it. I don't see where my server is receiving the request. Do you know of anything I could try or a place to look for errors or issues?

I posted to the Jplayer Google Group and Mark directed me here.
