Video Chat Scripts

VideoWhisper.com upgraded the Live Streaming application bringing several improvements and optimizations requested by users.

Some of the improvements:

• advanced webcam settings (change realtime resolution, framerate, audio rate)
• fullscreen button for video watching interface
• fullscreen on click for embedded plain video stream interface
• generate updated jpg snapshots for each live stream
• timers (displayed on each interface depending on settings) can be used to control access, integrate in pay per view systems
• multiple new options and parameters passed from script side

Also some RTMP application improvements should be mentioned like external player support and live video archiving as FLV for the Red5 application.

Upgrades are available for download on VideoWhisper.com and do not involve any costs for free or paid licenses.

First edition available with the upgrade is the PHP edition. The rest should follow shortly.

With the latest VideoWhisper rtmp applications versions, webmasters can enable external player support (both for FMIS and Red5).  This can be enabled from  RTMP Application Settings.

You need to have allowPlayers=true for FMIS or acceptPlayers=true for Red5 . These settings are turned on by default.

This will allow playing a stream published by a VideoWhisper flash application like Live Streaming with an external player like JW Player.

Demo:

Publish a stream from Live Streaming Demo (i.e. Studio1) and then view it on JW Player. Update channel name in link if you’re using a different one.

Here is the code to embed JW Player:

<?
include(“settings.php”);
$stream=$_GET['n'];
?>
<object id=”player” classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ name=”player” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”player.swf” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<p><a href=”http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer”>Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
</object>
</object>

Also this code could be used for playing a Studio1 stream broadcaster with VideoWhisper Live Streaming. Make sure you have swobject.js and player-viral.swf in that folder.

<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>

<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>

<script type='text/javascript'>
  var so = new SWFObject('player-viral.swf','mpl','320','320','9');
  so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
  so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
  so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
  so.addVariable('file','Studio1.flv');
  so.addVariable('volume','5');
  so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://your-rtmp-server/videowhisper');
  so.addVariable('autostart','true');
  so.addVariable('quality','false');
  so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

The VideoWhisper Live Streaming software can now be easily used to add video broadcasting to WordPress sites and live video streams on blog pages.

To test a live demo of software on WordPress, just register a free account on this site and use the widget link from the right menu to start broadcasting.

If the user is not logged into WordPress a warning message is shown and the visitor can click that to get back to the main WordPress website for registration/login. We also included a plugin that provides a linking widget. You can use that or directly add a link to “http://www.your-site.com/videowhisper_streaming/” .

The widget also displays online broadcasters and their show names.

The watch screen logs in wordpress logged in users by adding a @ at end of username (so broadcaster can see & test his own video as a different user). Blog visitors will be able to participate in chat by providing a temporary username right in the chat application.

A free version of this component can be downloaded for free from the WordPress Live Streaming Software page.
