Use JW Player to play VideoWhisper application streams

August 28th, 2009
Comments Off

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>

JW Player Demo
