Description
The ablilty to insert a url from an adobe streaming server (rtmp://example.com/myvideo.flv) would be a very nice (and needed) feature for a pro video site.
#1
What video player supports rtmp?
#2
@Alex UA: Use the module flvmediaplayer (jw player), and your cool. Flowplayer also works.
#3
Flowplayer supports RTMP streaming. All we'd need to do is add the rtmp:// protocol to the compatible list of Custom URLs, and Flowplayer would be used to stream the RTMP video.
#4
wow, nice! let's do that, then :D anyone have an example url i can use to test? i can work on this later this week.
#5
@aaron : you can use 'rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest' as 'netConnectionUrl' and 'Extremists.flv' and 'mp4:Extremists.m4v' as filenames.
Don't forget to add rtmp plugin to flowplayer config. Do you think it could be a good idea to add a specific provider for RTMP streams ?
Thank you.

You can find an example of RTMP streaming through Flowplayer here:
http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/rtmp.html
I'm not entirely 100% sure, but I think the latest version of Flowplayer supports automatic initialization of the RTMP when it sees the rtmp:// protocal. So you might be able to just use:
<?php$output = theme('flowplayer', 'rtmp://cyzy7r959.rtmphost.com/flowplayer');
?>

Rob, I don't think it would work. As I said before, you need to set 'netConnectionUrl' to the streaming server application root. Then set 'url' parameter to desired filename to stream.
From your link :
netConnectionUrl : The RTMP URL used to connect to the server app. Required if not specified in the plugin.
url : The name of the stream. For h.264 encoded files, use following format: mp4:stream.mp4. For audio files use mp3:audio.mp3. NOTE: With Adobe's Flash Communication Server the stream name does not include the file extension, for example mp3:audio, or mystream.
Actually, I already tried sth like 'rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest/Extremists.flv' but it does not work with current modules.
I'd really like to have some kind of 'rtmp-flowplayer' provider ;)

Ah, that makes sense. So it might end up looking more like:
<?php$output = theme('flowplayer', array(
'clip' => array(
'provider' => 'rtmp',
),
'plugins' => array(
'rtmp' => array(
'netConnectionUrl' => 'rtmp://flowplayer.org:1935/fastplay',
),
),
));
?>
... In one of the 3.1.3 changelogs though, it read:
Not sure if that means it switches the URL to the netConnectionUrl or not. Worth a try :-) .
#9
It fails here. Don't know how to make this work. No idea about URL may look like in this case :(
#10
Check this out.....
<?php$output .= theme('flowplayer', array(
'clip' => array(
'provider' => 'rtmp',
'url' => 'Extremists',
),
'plugins' => array(
'rtmp' => array(
'url' => 'flowplayer.rtmp.swf',
'netConnectionUrl' => 'rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest',
),
),
));
?>
Not sure how this would translate from Embedded Media Field Custom URL though..... rtmp://video1.advid.tv/druptest/Extremists.flv?
#11
I think your code is right Rob. Also, URL schema 'rtmp://HOST/APPLICATION/' is always correct so your Custom URL could be easily interpreted by emfield.
Once again, another way to achieve this could be with a new provider. aaron ?

Hi I am trying to make flowplayer module to work with rtmp and I stepped into this thread.
I put the latest versions of flowplayer and rtmp plugin in the module folder and after trying various things I found out that:
the code
'rtmp' => array('url' => 'flowplayer.rtmp.swf'
)
does not work for me. It does not find the plugin.
Then I have tried to give the complete URL like:
'url' => 'http://mydomain/sites/all/modules/flowplayer/flowplayer/flowplayer.rtmp.swf'And still does not find the plugin.
Then I moved the plugin outside the modules directory and inside /sites/all/library/floplayer and gave the complete URL:
'url' => 'http://mydomain/sites/all/library/flowplayer/flowplayer.rtmp.swf'This way it works. I don't understand why it is not able to load the plugin if it is inside the module directory.
