"FC subscribe" support for Edgecast RTMP? #1846

Closed egasimus closed 9 years ago

egasimus commented 9 years ago

From JW Player support:

FC Subscribe When streaming RTMP live streams using the Akamai, Edgecast or Limelight CDN, players cannot simply connect to the live stream. Instead, they have to subscribe to it, by sending a so-called FC Subscribe call to the server. JW Player includes support for this, using the RTMP subscribe option: [...]

I currently find myself replacing a JWPlayer-based installation with Video.js. One of the requirements involves displaying a RTMP stream hosted at Edgecast. I am soon to try the suggested solution on StackOverflow:

I compiled video-js-swf manually and modified the RTMPVideoProvider implementation to call FCSubscribe during the NetStream initialization. _nc.call("FCSubscribe", null, _src.streamURL);

I wonder why an option for this isn't already implemented from VJS, though. Any thoughts?

Hi @egasimus, sorry for the delayed response. RTMP support in Video.js has been built entirely by community contributors over time. If there's a specific feature you're looking for we welcome any pull requests. Otherwise I couldn't really tell you why it hasn't been an issue before.

If you're still interested we should open an issue on the swf project. Closing this one for now.
