Setting up VideoWhisper RTMP on Influxis

If you have a FMS account with Influxis, use these instructions for setting up a new application:

1. Create application from Tools > New App Builder or My Applications > Add New Application. Use any name i.e. “videowhisper” and save generated rtmp path.

2. From Tools > File Manager / File Admin edit videowhisper/main.asc file and make sure it has the contents of videowhisper/main.asc (open it with notepad or other text editor). If needed select all from text editor (CTRL+A), copy (CTRL+C), move to form, select all from there (CTRL+A), paste from clipboard (CTRL+V).
Get VideoWhisper FMIS rtmp side from Downloads : RTMP VideoWhisper Applications > FMIS .

3. From Account Settings > Domain Permissions, Set Referring Domain(s), Add New Domain – add your domain that hosts the flash (i.e. your-domain.com)

4. Reset the VHost for your Influxis account so it loads new applications or updates.
In your Influxis account go to My Applications > FCS Administration Console: Connect then go to Maintenance : Adaptor / VHost: Restart .

Playback RTMP with JW Player

You can publish a rtmp stream to a rtmp address and then playback with an external player like JWPlayer.
If you publish StreamName to rtmp address rtmp://your-rtmp-address-here then you will need to configure JW Player:
var flashvars = { file: StreamName.flv, streamer: rtmp://your-rtmp-address-here, autostart:”true”, type:”rtmp”}

 

Webcam video streams can be published from web with a video Live Streaming broadcasting script. With the VideoWhisper Live Streaming soulution, StreamName is channel name (in example Studio586). 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 server.

 

If you want to publish for other devices special encoders and codecs would be required. Using an external encoder you can encode with codecs and settings not available in browser flash player (due to flash limitations). Not all encoders and versions are compatible with all rtmp servers and versions. Some require special configuration and usage instructions.

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder can be used for Adobe Media Interactive server and is also reported to work with Wowza.

Wowza & Wirecast documentation and support is available for Wowza Media Server hosting.

 

Note that when publishing H.264, video player should be configured to play StreamName.mp4 instead of StreamName.flv .
