I love the FLV player and wanted to inquire about a new project to have an embedded flash player that can record from a users webcam and microphone. I think it would be very popular for personal websites and commercial websites alike.

This would be embedded just like the FLV player but it would allow the user to hit a record button, review their recording, and hit save to submit it to the webmaster. It could be used for webmasters to allow their visitors to leave video and/or audio messages for any reason: feedback, guestbook, etc. There are a few products out there but none that are open source and none that are free for non commercial use. Especially because FLV player is able to achieve playback of files without a flash video server, I think there would be a high demand for it written by Jeroen. I personally would donate $100 towards its development.

Examples are

Wintechmedia's Flash AV Recorder - expensive ($200)
http://www.wintechmedia.com/mproducts.htm

Userpane's Webcam recorder - looks good but the actually swf and media are on the userpane site
http://www.userplane.com/apps/videoRecorder.cfm

chuPPo - hosted with a high monthly fee starting at $50/mo

I will take a look at this. I have already implemented the capturing of microphone and webcam in the 4.0 player, only thing to do would be the sending of the data to a server. Will keep you updated!

Apr. 29, 2008Josh Fraser

I'd love to see this as well. I've spent all morning searching for something like that on Google.

Any update on whether or not you plan on doing it?

May. 09, 2008Robert Boyer

I also want to place a small flv player with live webcam embeded on my website, so that when I see real time visitors to my site, I can be seen live and answer their questions with live video and audio that they enter through a live chat form.

Hai

What is this ?
All the people making this king of simple application I have done all this very latter it is a kind of fun to make all such things.

ok..

All the best

May. 14, 2008andersen

@A deveploer - that is sharing code and helping each other - you are very welcome to pitch in too...

May. 16, 2008JeroenW

I have implemented the recording of audio/video to the server to. It'll work in the 4.0 player out-of -the-box with a Wowza server. Haven't tested with other servers yet...

May. 29, 2008Chris

Hi Jeroen,
can you add a feature to record a file without a streaming server?
No live streaming,simply a video clip from webcam.

May. 31, 2008mike

+1 vote for this feature...and willing to pay for it

Jeroen,

If you can capture video and audio from a device using flash on the client side and then capture as a filestream on the server, that is all we need. using .net is a good way to accomplish this with the ajax implementations, or other filestreaming classes in .net.

please let us know of your advances in this arena !!

Jun. 16, 2008JeroenW

I don't think this is possible, since the video ecording capabilities are not exposed in actionscript, but are rather built into the RTMP API. So one does need an RTMP server to be able to send video.

There are several open-source RTMP servers / libraries out there though. Please take a look at the third-party-app threads.

Note that the sending of videodata to RTMP does already work in the 4.0 player.

Jul. 16, 2008wtip.net

I would also like to be able to record live webcam streams from the client and store the recording on the server in a format that can be streamed back to a different client at a latter time. I gather this can be done with the 4.0 player. Could I get some pointers as to what would be required? Streaming server, red5 or wowza, RTMP, code examples?
William

I can not wait to test this out thanks Jeroen

Aug. 15, 2008JeroenW

Recording with Wowza does work, as Charlie Good from Wowza tested. Please take a look at the forums at www.wowzamedia.com; Charlie said he'd paste an howto there.

Aug. 27, 2008greenEggs

Hi JeroenW,

Do you have any examples or tutorials on how to use your player to record to RTMP?

Thanks!

Aug. 28, 2008Lipton

Cannot find Charlie's post, where is it? Thanks!

Sep. 02, 2008IceKold

I really wish fools wouldn't flood websites with the same line... how god damn stupid and pointless.

Firstly, why don't you just google simple terms like "opensource flv server" or "opensource flv streaming"... do some work yourself you ignorant fools.

The author of the original post: good question and genuine request.

Response: Take a look at the Java based Red5 http://osflash.org/red5

It is an opensource Flash streaming server (based on Apache, Tomcat and JRE libraries) that allows someone to stream both live AND pre-recorded Flash FLVs via a web browser or mobile device.

Sep. 02, 2008Craig Whitmore

looking at the source it does seem possible to record TO a rtmp server with jw player.. so I tried setting it up..

http://www.bcast.co.nz/TEST/CAM/

with config of http://www.bcast.co.nz/TEST/CAM/cam.xml

but it doesn't seem to do anything. (not even connect to the red5 server)

Any ideas?

Sep. 10, 2008Lipton

I guess most of us can set up the red5 server right, but just don't know how to set the jw player to send content to it.
Just one example would be fine. Thanks!


And to Wrongno: go to hell.

Sep. 11, 2008JeroenW

Hmm, I also cannot find anything @ Wowza.

There's three flashvars you need to set though:

1. streamer > the rtmp://yourserver/yourapplication address
2. file > the ID of the stream you want to record/publish
3. type > "camera"

If you insert 'type=camera' in the setup wizard, you already see the webcam being accessed wehn starting playback:

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?page=wizard

Additionally, you can also use the testpage to test your file/streamer variables too. The testpage shows a log with, amongst other events, responses from the rtmp server:

Sep. 29, 2008Francois

I am successfully using the player to record my webcam session to a Wowza media server. Unfortunately the playback of the resulting file doesn't work with jwplayer. All I get when try to play the resulting file is sound but not video. When playing back the same file on flowplayer it plays just fine. Any ideas?

- Thanks,
Francois

ben, that article seem to be about streaming video out, not recording

Oct. 09, 2008peter

I got something working with client-side capturing a webcam stream in mp4, then uploading this to an ordinary linux server (not red5/wowza/flash media center, just plain old red hat). For capturing I used the demo version of the java video applet on http://vimas.com/video.php. These files can then be played with Jeroen's player (or Flowplayer).

Oct. 10, 2008Jim

I've been using this feature and love it.

However, is there any way to change the bitrate that is sent to the RTMP server? So instead of full whack video/audio, have more control over it, just as if you were using Flash Media Encoder?

Thanks

Oct. 12, 2008perweb

Hello,

At present I broadcast live from a videocam and a TV Tuner using a ShoutCast server and the NSVtools that captures the filming and has only 6 seconds delay in brodcasting. But there is problem, NSVtools is too old (2003) since his author was hired by AOL and then quit out of the job.

NSVtools is too old for Windows Vista and sometimes is not stable with Windows XP

http://forums.winamp.com/

Please check:

SHOUTcast TV / Nullsoft Video (topics)

So the great solution is red5

I installed red5 in my Linux dedicated server and you can play the videos to see how they work:

http://www.perweb.tv

The question is:

Could JeroenW develop a capture sound and video Tool in order to live broadcst thru the Internet like:

1. NSVtools for ShoutCast server
2. Flash Media Encoder

I wait the valuable coments of the members of this forum.

Regards from Peru

Oct. 17, 2008JeroenW

@perweb: this is indeed possible through the player at present already Use the 'type=camera' flashvar to publish content to Red5.

@Jim: that's a good suggstion. I'lll check it out. Note that right now you can set 'quality' to 'false', which'll set the dimanesions & framerate a little lower. The image quality is completely left to flash still though:

if(quality == true) {
camera.setMode(480,360,25);
} else {
camera.setMode(240,180,12);
}

Oct. 22, 2008Chris

Before I start searching through AS tutorials & documentation, is it possible to set the audio bitrate using the player's AS file?

I have been experimenting with Flash Media Encoder & have found these settings perfect for me:
Video:
640x480
50Kbps

Audio:
22050 Hz
80kbps

It's excellent that we can already change the video size.
So the question is really.. Can i search > integrate the rest without much change to the existing AS?

Oct. 22, 2008jimb

I second Jim's request for insight into how we may adjust audio & video bit rates.

Regards - Jimb

Oct. 25, 2008Jim

Thanks Jeroen! I'd appreciate it, quite selfish of course but it would be really useful for me.

Oct. 26, 2008Jimb

@Jim

I have it interacting with Wowza quite well but the video seems to pixilate rather badly if the person being videoed makes much movement on camera. Are you having that experience?

Regards - Jimb

Oct. 28, 2008abso

Hi,
I'm trying to record a live webcam using JWplayer. I can see the webcam image on screen but I can't get it to be recorded... I'm using Red5. here are my settings :

<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("player.swf","player","470","250","9");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
s1.addParam("wmode","opaque");
s1.addParam("flashvars","file=text.flv&type=camera&tracecall=printTrace&streamer=rtmp://xxxx");
s1.write("preview");
</script>

Anybody got any idea of what might be wrong ?
cheers

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

I've spent a bit more time tinkering with the cameraModel.as file in an effort to get what I felt was minimally acceptable video that did not cause the player to buffer frequently during playback but would like to see how it works for others. My testing can only give me a limited sample to evaluate. If any here have the time and inclination and would like to create a Test video for my review I'd appreciate the help. Below is a link to the test page I built to test recording to my wowza server. When you finish recording, click the Link Button to play back your test video. If you'd like to have a go at helping me determine if it's working well enough to be acceptable.

http://mymail.playourvideo.net/testr.htm?id=Test

Regards - Jimb

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

I still struggling with frequent buffering. I took a look at the videorecording example FLA that ships with Wowza's Server and note they've got this defined in their FLA // set the buffer time to 20 seconds to buffer 20 seconds of video
// data for better performance and higher quality video
nsPublish.setBufferTime(20); Has anyone figured out where to accomplish something similar in the JW 4.2 player? I'm just wondering if it has a seperate Publish buffer at all. If not, perhaps it's worth consideration. It would useful for those of us on an rtmp server.

Regards - Jimb

Oct. 30, 2008Jim

@Jimb - I have noticed this too but I know literally nothing about Actionscript. I tried looking at the JWP source to see if there were settings that could be tinkered with but couldn't find anything in the single .as file that comes in the download. If there is scripting in the FLA somewhere, I'm out of luck.

Also, using something like a 20 second buffer wouldn't be of use to me as I need it for a near real-time application, much like justin.tv, where those broadcasting need to interact with others broadcasting or using chat, 20 second delays all round would prevent that.

There doesn't seem to be a decent commercial solution for this type of thing? It all seems custom made.

How are you using the cameraModel file with your swf player? As it wasn't in the source download I didn't know it existed. How is that used? Sorry, Flash is really not my thing!

Oct. 30, 2008Ste

im so confused about this...

could someone please explain with clear examples what i need to do to allow users to record a video which will save as a .flv file on the server... im using IIS 5.1, (not the best i know) but it does the trick for me seeing tho i use .asp

thanks

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

Here's a short video I recorded on my wowza rtmp server after my last efforts to get the issue of frequent buffering cleaned up.

http://mymail.playourvideo.net/testp.htm?id=Test10-30-2008at17-30.flv

If any of you take the time to watch it could you take a minute just to let me know if you see the spinner appearing briefly or not. I'm obviously past the limits of my skills but still trying.

Regards - Jim

Oct. 30, 2008kLink

I'm seeing double spinnie thingies — but maybe that's just my eyeballs!   

Seriously though, once the initial buffering was done, I never saw the buffering icon again and the video quality looks damn good! Quite some accomplishment!

Are you going to make the compiled player available?

Oct. 30, 2008Jim

Hey Jim,

Video looks great I think, no spinner for me other than the initial buffering, worked great. What sort of filesize did that end up as?

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

@kLink

Absolutely, for you and anyone else that may be interested for that matter. Just click the message me link on the test page and send me an email address. That way you won't need to post it here and incur a new round of spam

Please keep in mind that you'll need to define your own rtmp streamer as I'll take mine out of the action script before I recompile it for you.

@Jim

The file size is 3023Kb for 1 minute 56 seconds so it should only need about 181kbps of your upload speed as I understand it.

Regards - Jimb

Oct. 30, 2008kLink

"Please keep in mind that you'll need to define your own rtmp streamer as I'll take mine out of the action script before I recompile it for you."Can we just enter the streamer as a normal flashvar or does it have to be compiled in?

I played your video again and I saw an average download rate of 375kbps for the entire 1:56 video.

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

Yup the version I sent requires you enter the streamer as usual. For my own use here I fill in most of the flashvars in keeping with the standards I always use. That way not so much has to go into the html code to define a player. I know I'm kinda lazy about some things.

Jim

Oct. 30, 2008kLink

Thanks a bunch, can't wait to try it.

Oct. 30, 2008Jimb

You're more than welcome. If there are any hiccups it will be in the rtmpModel.as That might happen if Wowza and Red5 have any different protocol requirements. If it fails, just grab your log file and tell me what the errors are and I'll revise the rtmpModel to get it going quickly.

- paste the code below in a html page and open it with a browser
- push play
- record you message
- push stop
- go to wowza [install dir]/content and you can see the recorded stream


<div id="jwf_player">You need Flash player 9+ and JavaScript enabled to view this video.</div>

Nov. 06, 2008VLC

I am able to capture audio and video in VLC... It states that I can stream the video and audio in RTP, RTMP and HTTP...

I have done this between 2 machines running VLC...

Can I pick up the stream using the JEROEN MEDIA PLAYER?

To be clear, I have a home computer running VLC in Vista.

I also have an Apache/PHP/MySQL/Linux server at a remote location. I want to run your Media Player at the remote server, and feed it the stream from my local machine. I can stream in H.264 in VLC, and other formats...

Please let me know how to do this...

Thanks for your great player.

Nov. 06, 2008andersen

@VLC - if both machines have a http:// address - it ought to be possible (havent actually tried/seen VLC stream to JW though)

but the general rule is that both machines must be "online" with http:// addresses or both machines have to be local machines - these are flash security restrictions made to prevent outsiders from accessing your local filesystem, and presumably can not be circumvented....

Nov. 06, 2008VLC

So, if this is possible, could someone give a little instruction on this:

VLC on local machine

Web Site on a server which is on the internet

Want to stream to server and have JW Player display the live stream...

Please help... Or Jeroen, please detail for us. This is obviously something everyone wants to do. VLC is the easiest way to shoot a stream from your camcorder to the web...

Nov. 06, 2008Jim

@VLC I don't think that's possible, you'll need something on the server to send the stream out to people. You can either have people connect directly to your computer, if it has a public IP and your connection can handle the demand. Otherwise you'll need something like FMS to be the middleman, you send your stream to FMS and it sends it out to the people. You can use something like Red5 or Wowza instead of FMS, or a CDN service.

Don't think there is a way around this.

Nov. 07, 2008VLC

Isn't there a way to have the jeroen player installed on the web to capture the RTSP stream coming from my home computer via VLC?

Nov. 07, 2008andersen

@VLC - is your home computer accessible from the web as a regular http:// webserver with an IP address ?
can you post a link here to a page or file on you home machine ? have you tried access you home machine from the web ?

Nov. 07, 2008kLink

 
@VLC,

Flash doesn't understand RTSP.

Jim is correct in that you would have to send the stream from VLC to a server that is capable of handling the video serving of multiple streams (mostly a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet).

Nov. 07, 2008VLC

Hey Andersen,

Here's a link to my home machine... http://70.148.161.47/

I know how to connect to the internet...

Question still stands...

I think it is possible for the JW Player to tap into the VLC stream at my home server... VLC can put out an http stream too!

Nov. 07, 2008Jim

@VLC It should be possible for JW Player to tap into the VLC stream, if a) You have a publicly accessible IP for that computer b) The port is opened up on your firewall / modem / router. However this isn't of any use unless you only have one person watching or you happen to have an amazing internet connection. Otherwise you'll need to use a server out on the internet. Usually you would use Red5, FMS etc, JWPlayer cannot take the place of these.

I guess you could install VLC on your server on the internet and have it stream from any device or file connected to it but that's probably not a good idea and not what it's designed for.

Nov. 15, 2008Erik van Rijn

Mmm.,

It's working with HaxeVideo also, only if you don't have an cam, the player.swf does nothing.

Any solutions for that ?

Nov. 18, 2008JeroenW

I'll make sure an error is shown in the display. Something like "you don't have a webcam attached, so you cannot send video"

Hi. I recently signed up to facebook and noticed that they had a feature that let you record a video and put it on your page. I'm guessing that is similar to what you're doing here.

Will it work on my webpage? It is hosted on a remote server running linux (owned by a company - Pickaweb). I have cpanel and all that jazz but i'm not sure if i'd be able to install wowza. I know a thing or two about making websites but i'm not a pro or anything. Any help would be great.

</script>

any help would be great.

Dec. 21, 2008andersen

@Ste - there are a couple of possible reasons for your problem...

the code you have posted is swfobject v.2.1 code
but you dont show if the page contain a line loading the swfobject.js

also fullscreen is a flash parameter and not a flashvar

the safest is to host the swfobject.js and the player.swf along with the page on your own server...

swfobject v.2.1 examples - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Javascript-API-Examples

for swfobject v.1.5 please see the - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard

Dec. 30, 2008Ste

@Andersen

thanks for the reply, i have added the swfobject.swf and moved the player to my own server, now i have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var params = {allowScriptAccess: "always", flashvars: "fullscreen=true&bufferlength=2&streamer=rtmp://localhost/videorecording/alfa&file=test00.flv&type=camera"};
var atts = { id: "myjwfplayer"};
swfobject.embedSWF("Player.swf", "jwf_player", "425", "344", "8", null, null, params, atts);
</script>

but i still get the same blank page.

Dec. 30, 2008andersen

have you downloaded the swfobject v.2.1 from - http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
and placed on your server, along with the .html file as indicated by the line:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

have you downloaded a player from - http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/

have you tried the player demo in the readme.html from the downloaded (and unpacked) .zip file ?
(please note the swfobject.js from the download is still a v.1.5 - Dec. 30, 2008)

and have you renamed it from "player.swf" to "Player.swf" as indicated by the line:
swfobject.embedSWF("Player.swf","jwf_player", ...

do you have a placeholding div somewhere in the page by the ID of "jwf_player" as indicated by the line:
swfobject.embedSWF("Player.swf","jwf_player", ...

that is a line like this: <div id="jwf_player"></div>

if you make the above line like this:
<div id="jwf_player">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Get flash</a>
</div>

then a link to adobe will show if your flash browserplugin version is lower than the number used in this line:
swfobject.embedSWF("Player.swf", "jwf_player", "425", "344", "8", null, null, params, atts);

you should write "10" rather than "8" to make sure the flash browser plugin is up to date, safe and able to play most new video formats...

adobe flash versiontest - http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
adobe flash deinstall - http://kb.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
adobe flash install - http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

note that IE and the other browsers does not use the same - so check in each - and also note that sometimes a deinstall is needed before the update will function properly...

and finally please compare your code with the examples on - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Javascript-API-Examples
there are several small differences -
when in doubt it is always good to start out with known working code...

I'm interested in being able to have users be able to upload their webcam recordings (just like on youtube) to my site which will be using a youtube-like script (hwdvideoshare for Joomla)

Can it be done?

hi guys,
i am working with red5 now.. and i want to broadcast video and audio from my webcam to the red5 server..Here is my player code..I can successfully get the a steam from red5.. i just want to broadcast via Jw-Player.

<script>
var s2 = new SWFObject('viral/player-viral.swf', 'ply', '320', '320', '9.0.124', '#000000');
s2.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
s2.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
s2.addParam('wmode', 'opaque');
s2.addVariable('id', 'ply2');
s2.addVariable('file', 'b.flv');
s2.addVariable('streamer', 'rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo');
s2.addVariable('type', 'camera');
s2.addVariable('bufferlength','2');
s2.write('Player2');

</script>

is there something i did wrong ?
Thank you.
'll wait your comments

The JW FLV Player only supports type=camera up to the v4.5.207 release.

If you need that release, you can get it here:

    http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/log/trunk/as3/player.swf?rev=261

In your player code, the flashvar id must match the id that you are using in the new SWFObject() method:
<script>
var s2 = new SWFObject('viral/player-viral.swf', 'ply', '320', '320', '9.0.124', '#000000');
s2.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
s2.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
s2.addVariable('id', 'ply');
s2.addVariable('file', 'livestream');
s2.addVariable('streamer', 'rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo');
s2.addVariable('type', 'camera');
s2.write('Player2');
</script>

The stream name shouldn't have an extension. No bufferlength is needed. wmode=opaque isn't needed.

@lost
var s2 = new SWFObject('viral/player.swf', 'ply2', '320', '320', '9.0.124', '#000000');
s2.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');
s2.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');
s2.addVariable('id', 'ply2');
s2.addVariable('file','livestream');
s2.addVariable('streamer', 'rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo');
s2.addVariable('type', 'camera');
s2.write('Player2');

now this is my code.. i still cant broadcast via my webcam..It says "No suitable model found for playback of this file"
waiting your response

BTW : i downloaded the lastest revision of the player.261 like you said

You need to get release v4.5.207 or lower.

type=camera is NOT supported in later releases.

Aug. 24, 2009Eren Yagdiran

ok there are some misunderstandings
thank you..

@lost

i installed that version as it supposed to be..

now , the problem is audio.. i can't hear what i'm saying while broadcasting.. U know this bug?

Thank you

Hi

It is easy to get the type=camera to work in later versions of JWPlayer.

Let me know if you need to make it work again.

BTW. They might have removed that ability to hide the fact that RTMP Buffering does not work

I am battling the problem and trying to fix the problem that videos recorded with the type=Camera will not play back properly because the RTMP streaming has major bugs.

I will keep you posted.

Quite the contrary, I have no problem using FME3, the Red5 Demo Publisher, or the JW FLV Player camera (v4.5.207) as a publisher to Red5 v0.7and JW FLV Player v4.6.299 as a client. If you leave the bufferlength alone, the player figures out its own bufferlength.

Have you ever watched the metadata output by the player when it is receiving a livestream?

Me thinks not!

Also, It seems that Video chat will work ok with live streaming but not as the Camera Model exists today in JWPlayer.

If you would like the patch to allow live streaming without recording, which causes major latency problems, so you can create a live video chat with JWPlayer. Let me know.

This patch will also solve the problem of trying to play a live stream and having it stop at some arbitrary time length.

hey guys listen up , i tried to imply all version of jw player as a broadcaster , camera i mean..and i got nothing.. so i decide to learn up a quick-trick about as3..and it took 6 lines of code to send the video and audio on flash

Eren,

Can you share with us what you did to get the audio working? Thank you.

@Eren - Can you let us know what lines you changed? I am trying to get this working and am running into the same problem. Thanks.
