Can we use flow player with Wowza developer edition?
Yes you can use any player with any edition of Wowza.

Have you tested with SimpleVideoStreaming player?

See this post for Flowplayer
For SimpleVideoStreaming or LiveVideoStreaming AS3 versions, it is the .fla file in client folder. For the Flex version of each, it is the Player.as file. In any of those, look for nc.connection.

The current un-patched version of Wowza works with FLV files and Flowplayer.
Flowplayer is a Flash app that uses NetConnection and NetStream objects to connect and stream FLV and other Flash compatible media. It has a lot of plugins and a complicated HTML/javascript container, and a lot of ways it might not work.
To test FLV other compatible media with a more basic Flash app, always use the example players that ship with Wowza.

How does your flowplayer code look like ? What plugins ? What codecs are used in flv files ?
Actually, youâre not using commercial version (flowplayer logo in the background).
I can send a sample file being played if needed?
Yep. Iâll try it on my FP/WMS combo âŚ
Rapidshare, Dropbox, etc âŚ
Actually, it works here using WMS 2.0.0.16 and FP 3.2.1 âŚ

Nothing wrong with this file. I can even use slowmotion plugin.
Iâm also using securestreaming plugin with my own token but I donât think this is relative to your issue âŚ
Iâm having an interesting issue with Wowza and Flowplayer.
We use the latest and greatest commercial flowplayer (3.2.0) and have been using Wowza to deliver news flvs on our website for a while now.
We recently upgraded from Wowza 1.7.2 to 2.0.0. When we did this our flv files (as played by flowplayer) broke. While all h264 encoded mp4 continued playing fine.
The URL for the streams are here
http://mywestnet.com.au/freezone/video/
and you can see whatâs happening. When you select a video flowplayer opens and starts to play as expected but you get audio and no video. However if you try to âseekâ to a point in the video the video starts playing at the beginning as normal. If we move the files back to a 1.7.2 wowza server they work fine. This only effects flv encoded content files. mp4 is fine.
Any suggestions?
Yeap⌠The videos work fine in simplevideostreaming player using both versions of flowplayer.
They work fine with flowplayer using Wowza 1.7.2 as well. the only thing thatâs changed is the Wowza version to 2.
Flowplayer code looks like this
function playBobTvc(bobclipUrl) {
$f(âbobFlowPlayerâ, â/flash/flowplayer.commercial-3.1.1.swfâ, {
key: ââ,
debug: true,
clip: {
url: âtest/9msn/292818â,
provider: ârtmpâ
},
plugins: {
controls: {
autoHide: âalwaysâ,
hideDelay: 2000,
width: â98%â,
bottom: 5,
left: â50%â,
borderRadius: 15
},
rtmp: {
url: â/flash/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swfâ,
netConnectionUrl: ârtmp://fms.iinet.net.au/freezone/mp4â
}
}
});
}
Video codec is : VP6F
Audio is : mp3 44khz 16 bit
I know weâre not using the commercial version at the moment. (an oversite on behalf of the web guys) we have a lisc for the commercial version which we use on our other website. They are deploying the commercial version on this site in the next couple of days.
I doubt itâs the flowplayer that is the issue tho as it worked (and still works fine) with the same videos served by 1.7.2.
I can send a sample file being played if needed?
Yep. Iâll try it on my FP/WMS combo âŚ
Cool, where/how should I send the file?
Rapidshare, Dropbox, etc âŚ
You can find one of the files in question here :
Let me know if you have any luck.
Any update on this? Iâm holding off a rollback to 1.7.2 but I might have to if there isnât an obvious solutionâŚ
Actually, it works here using WMS 2.0.0.16 and FP 3.2.1 âŚ
Ok⌠weâre still running base 2.0.0 Iâll try applying patch 16 and see if that clears things up.
Thanks.
Just in case anyone else has this problem. Patching with the latest Patch 16 resolved the issue.
Looks like something weird in the base install of Wowza2 (.deb file) prevents it from working well with FLV and flowplayer.
Something to note.
I want to use configure user based authentication (for live application) when any client access video from my server. So I used âModuleOnConnectAuthenticateâ module from the module collection package. And now I need to edit the value for âNetConnection.connectâ in flash application code. I am using flow player. In Which file this value can be setâŚ?
2)If I am using default player given in the âexamplesâ directory, which file shall I edit.?
