 Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2007 6:41 pm Post subject: What am I missing? - Streaming over HTTP |
 |
|
My end goal is to setup a streaming media server to play videos over the web using HTTP. I followed all of the install instructions and created a HTML file to play the video. Web page here: http://pittspeed.com/media/streetheaters/test.html
I used the code from an example page to try to play the video. Here is what I am using.
| Code: | {
var o = document.getElementById(player);
o.EnableFlowControl(false, true);
o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");
InitPlayer(player);
o.Play();
window.status = "Connecting...";
} |
When I go to the site I am getting an error that the media can not be found. What am I doing wrong here? Everything was installed per instructions on Website. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks |

It says 404.
You didn't install UHttpProxy on your server computer.

I appreciate your quick response. Check out this screenshot:
It sure looks like I installed UHTTPPRoxy. Now if there is something i did not configure after it was installed then it was my error. |

How did you install UHttpProxy, using msi package or manually?
If manually, did you follow the instructions on our FAQ page?

i have the media server and live server configured to stream my webcam.
At the remote computer i tried to connecting using HTTP by calling the url.
http://<websitename>/webcam (the live broadcast alias is "webcam" in media server configuration tool)
but this is not working.
I am using IIS 5.0 on XP prof. The UHttpProxy is also installed. To check i have added a test.html page under the folder Uhttpproxy and I am able to access it on the remote computer. e.g. http://<websitename>/uhttpproxy/test.html
windows firewall is disabled as well.
so what am I missing?? can anyone help me???
thanks in advance |

Try changing this:
o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");
to this (if 'E-3.1' is a folder):
o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\E-3.1\AutoPalace.wmv");
or this if 'E-3.1' is NOT a folder but part of the Autopalace.wmv filename:
o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");
the only place there should be 2 slashes (ie. '\\') is directly after the media server name for the usefile command.
Let me know if this helps |

It works from my PC. Kelly looks hot! Ha. So what did you do to fix it?
And ADMIN. If I click on whitey's link, my Firefox resizes to the Umedia player size. Still with all the tabs at the top. And if I click on those tabs, the size of the Firefox window stays small. I have to resize it. Maybe this is what Adriana was talking about on a different post. That's very annoying.
When I embed the player in an html webpage I use TCP instead of HTTP and neither the Firefox, nor IE window change in size. What are they doing wrong? Or is this what using the HTTP protocol does to a Umedia webpage. Never used HTTP for broadcasts, so I'm not familiar. |

And I don't use IIS. Couldn't get the Channel Changer to work, so I had no need for it. I use Apache for web hosting with TCP Umedia code embedded in the pages. Plus when I activate IIS I get a lot of hacker attacks in my application event logs.
What would be the advantage of using HTTP over TCP, except corporate firewalls? Am I missing something? (don't remind me of how much I missed already). |
