Install ffmpeg mplayer flvtool2 yamdi x264 theora mp3lame vorbis ogg faac

2 years ago
by admin in ,

This is a tutorial to enable video sharing support on Centos servers.

This should install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2, yamdi, x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid, mediainfo, mp4box, neroaacenc . These tools will enable on your server:

  • video and audio conversion
  • thumbnail generation
  • FLV meta injection (flvtool2, yamdi)
  • extra codecs (x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid)

This is functional and we update it each time we configure a new server.
Installation is done using the “root” account.

 

Attention: If you copy and paste commands below, make sure “-” are not converted to “.”.  If these get converted, edit “.” back to “-”. Some options use 2 * “-”.

Some prerequisites:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf libtool yasm git subversion
yum install zlib-devel libmad-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel lame-devel faac-devel a52dec-devel xvidcore-devel freetype-devel
yum install libogg zlib-devel libtool

rpm -ivh  http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm

yum install yasm
yum install libogg libogg-devel libvorbis libvorbis-devel

The quick way to setup ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

or if you have 64bit server

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder ffmpeg-libpostproc

Edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file and add the following lines:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib

GIT
(required to get X264)

yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel

Live Streaming v2 by VideoWhisper

2 years ago
by admin in , ,

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

Live Broadcast

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.

Use JW Player to play VideoWhisper application streams

2 years ago
by admin in , ,

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.

Important: As latest VideoWhisper solutions also support P2P streaming, these need to be configured with alwaysRTMP=1 parameter in their _login.php or equivalent script so streams are always published to RTMP. Because of this, demo above is disabled (to prevent heavy rtmp usage on public install), but you can use sample code in your own installs.

 

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

Interesting Plugins:

  • Adtonomy Text Ads Plugin lets you run your own text ads within the JW FLV Player
  • Google Analytics plugin for the JW Player is designed to help you understand how well your video content is performing online
  • LongTail’s AdSolution allows you to run pre-roll, overlay mid-roll, and post-roll advertisements in your media player
  • LongTail Video’s Adtonomy Plugin lets you run your own FLV advertisements within the JW FLV Player
  • Viral, a video distribution plugin, supports three main functions: embed, link, and recommendations
  • The D-Related plugin allows you to load in list of the related clips in XML format
