Streaming Video

[octane6228]

Wondering what the best way to stream video from a web site into AMS is?

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

There are two decent options:

1) Use the Web Object in AMS 5 Pro and point it at the stream.

OR

2) Use the free Media Player Plugin that will support most streaming video formats.

There are ups and downs to both of these options.

Stream Problem

Hi Adam....I pointed the video object at the website and the video plays fine. Here's the problem. As soon as I Jump to another page within AMS and then come back to the page with the video object I get the following error?

Video Object: http://www.website.com/video/video.wmv

Unable to display object: File can not be located

----------------------------------------------------
My code for loading the video object is Page Show and its below.....

connected = HTTP.TestConnection("http://www.website.com", 20, 80, nil, nil);
if connected then
Dialog.TimedMessage("Please Wait...", "Loading Video...", 3000, MB_ICONINFORMATION);
Video.SetEnabled("Video1", true);
Video.Load("Video1","http://www.website.com/video/video.wmv", true, false);
else
result = Dialog.Message("Internet Error", "Website.com is unreachable. Please check your connection and retry.", MB_RETRYCANCEL);
if result == 4 then
Page.Jump("Menu3");

end
end

------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm absolutely stumped on why it doesn't re-establish the connection to the video file on the web site....

Your help is desperatley needed!!!

Thanks

Try this in the On Close of Page1:

Video.Load("Video1", "", false, false) (Note:  Change Video1 to the name of your object!)

Try placing this into a text file:

<ASX VERSION="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF HREF="http://www.yoursite.com/your.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>

Now change the .txt extension to .wvx make sure it points to your .wmv works great for a video I made.

Streams pritty good. BTW your server needs to be setup to do some basic streaming.
