Streaming 3

[1948Pal]

Does anyone have any ideas about my problem? I sure could use some help.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure all the installation steps went without errors? Can you manually confirm all the code was inserted where it should?

Hello,
i got a little request for this superb mod.

I own and run a helix server (professional streaming server from real) and i thought to use the rtsp protocoll to stream the files but i can't because this mod is adding http:// to any link. Is it possible (for me) to disable that?

Backround informations:
streaming mod version 4.2 and smf 1.0.5 (couldn't get other configurations to work).

"Streaming from a Helix Server is the best choice because it is designed specifically to stream media; it can adapt to congestion on the Internet and gives the best user experience."
With rtsp the server detects the users connection speed and provides the best quality for the user. Also you can stream any media type that is made for streaming (mp3, rm, wmv, quicktime, ...)

As you can see to disable (maybe as option in the admin panel) the http adding would be a step towards a more professional streaming solution.

Thank you very much!

Wow, good stuff. I'll definitely look into it. Can you give me a link to a media file that uses rtsp so I can test it with the code?
Thanks

You need to test it from 4PM to 8PM (GMT+1, middle europe) because i'm testing the helix server at my home as first and that's the times i'm online.


*edit*
At the weekends i'm alot longer online, maybe you want to test it than. The helix server is running whenever my computer starts.

OK. Sorry for the slight delay. This was easier than I thought it would be. A new update to support RTSP is on SMF MOD site in the form of a small package.
Let me know if that works.

i have to say this MOD really KICKS!

[mrandall131]

Just installed 4.2.1a and so far, there is no errors!!  Awsome, hope it stays that way.  BTW, this mod is awsome!   Do I / should I still install the update patch?

[Chan Kong-sang]

Thank you for the update. But! I need an update for 4.2 and smf 1.0.5. That's what i'm running. I couldn't get other configurations to work... If i try to install anything above 4.2 it says:
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

For your efforts: Thank you, again.

*edit*
Ok, i've installed smf 1.1 RC1. Now i tried to install streamer 4.2 (not compatible), 4.2.1, 4.2.1a and on the last i get:
   Execute Modification     stream-4.2.1a.mod     Modification parse error
Like said i only can get smf 1.0.5 and streamer 4.2 to work.

I still request an rtsp update for 4.2.

[Bigguy]

Do you have faster parse code installed I had to uninstall that mod for this one to work.

Just installed it, works great, but I have a question.

If I play video, everything is ok. Of I play audio, even I reduced the height of player to a small number, when the audio begins to play, the black screen for video always come out, look ugly.

Is there a way to show only the control area of the player when playing audio? Really don't like that black block.

Thanks.

mrandall131, if you installed 4.2.1a, then thre is no need for the 421a update, however if you want the ability to rtsp in real player then you should download the rtsp_update, otherwise no need for updating.

Chan Kong-sang, sorry about that. A new update for version 4.2 for SMF 1.0.5 is now available on the SMF mod site. Try that.

mengrong, although this mode plays audio, its primary function is for video. I am aware of this and sorry for that.
This perhaps will be for a future update.

Thanks lot for the reply.

THis streaming should be very basic, common and also popular mod. It is available form the beginning for phpbb, vb.....

WHy for SMF looks like this mod come so late and unmatured? Looks like people ever waited it for long time? (BTW, I am a newbie for SMF, just transferred from VBulletin to SMF, due to SMF's simpleness )

I'd have to agree.  Very cool!     Installed it on my test smf 1.0.5 forum.

[RoarinRow]

Has anyone re-installed faster parse code after this streaming mod?  Any negative impact or workaround?

[RoarinRow]

Last question, has anyone noticed any overall forum slowness when users are watching a video or playing audio?

I found the answer in the earlier pages.  It will slow things down if the file is on your server.  If the link is on another server, then no.

are you working on a version compatible with 1.1 rc 2?
