Can you please share Red5 server side java codes to record and playback video?

Your comment here: Hi ,man. Does your flash and sources in this page are open sources? Or they are copyright?

The red5-Server is running on my local machine (OS X.5) an some of the demo apps work well. but when i try to run your "Basic inline audio record/playback control" it doesn't work anymore. of course i changed the variables in the .js file and i chose rtmp://localhost/ as file location as well as some self created sub folders. but the recording just isn't being created. the server doesn't create the file. maybe there's something wrong with my folder permissions (already have had this issue with mampp). i'm very new to red5, so maybe it's just a stupid little thing i didn't think of. can you/anybody help?
tim


None of the demos are working for me... on a macbook, with the built in mic and cam. The red5 record can "hear" me but doesnt record anything. The video ones dont show any video.. Maybe it's just a temporary error!

Hello, could you tell me the interpret and title of MP3 streamed in FMS and RED5 examples. Many thanks in advance Best regards George

If the app directly saves a file on the server side, is there a way to intercept this request to save it in the cloud (eg. Amazon S3) ?

Response to Fabrice: the code and information that I have listed here is in the public domain. It's my small contribution to the developer community.
Webmaster


Hi Dennie, Nice work, nice guides, thanks! One question: is there any kind of licence on the work you have made available (e.g. GPL, MIT ot whatever on the audioControl component) ? Thanks, and best regards, Fabrice.
Fabrice


Reply to Amit: The Flash plugin must have permission to access the system microphone in order to create a recording. The permissions dialog requires the Flash movie to be at least 215x138. Any smaller, and the dialog will not display, and the FLV will not be created.

Hi! Nice working!! But in Audio recorder one issue is there. When I reduce the dimension in html, Means var so = new SWFObject("audioControl.swf", "audiocontrol", "200", "150", "9", "#FF6600"); Try this. . This dimension does not work .Flv file does not create. What should be the reason and what should be the solution?? Can you please tell me? I tried to solve but could not solve it. I am waiting for your reply.
Amit

Very good examples with simple explanations, thank you! Perhaps there is something I forgot to read but it took me a while to realise that you use the oflaDemo (with a new directory) on the server side if trying to get your code to work on our own servers. ie. rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo/video-recorder

Sorry, the Red5 server was down for a while. It's back up now.
Webmaster


Is your red5 server down? Recording doesn't seem to work from the examples...

Due to the architecture of FMS/Red5, no "save" function is necessary. See the FAQ below

Hello Dennie, We have downloaded your samples voice recording application. we are trying to connect to our server by giving both URL and Ip in the _root.myServer : "rtmp://nottinghill.llc.msu.edu/recordYourself/video"; but we are not able to connect to our remote server. So please kindly give us any suggestion to overcome this issue.Also want to know how to get the save video file at server. Thanks in Advance. Rabinarayan

Hi, I've been searching the web for days and finally found someone who has written clear instructions with excellent source files. Thank you so much, after hitting the submit button I will be hitting the Donate button! You've saved me several hours of work.

Response to mitesh: Actually, no "save" button is needed, because the act of recording with FMS/Red5 creates a file on the server. What you do need is a mechanism for tagging the files with a particular user. That is the responsibility of the "business logic," which runs on another process. See the "Student/Assignment Management Layer" examples to the left for more information.
Webmaster


Your comment here: hey nice codding. . . but one thing is that, , ,you need a save button. This is the logic most people will use. They record and listen… record again and listen until they decide that the recorded version is fine. After this they should be able to press a SAVE button which in the background will actually save the file on our system . . can you this king of FMS???? if you have any idea mail me on patelmitesh13@yahoo.com waiting for your reply .. I like your code I have tried this its nice...

Response to David: The red5 server is not running FMS. I created an application using the instructions linked to at the left-hand side of this page.
Webmaster


Hi, This is very helpful! I just got access to FMS 3. What did you have to do to your FMS directory rtmp://red5.llc.msu.edu/dsh (other than chmod) so that this works? Thanks again!
David Martin


Source code for video recorder and player has been posted. Files are in Flash 8 format (let me know if you need it in the format for earlier versions of Flash). Enjoy!
Webmaster


I'll put up the source for video recording soon. Check back next week.
Webmaster


do u have source code for video recording i m not able to do it

You aren't an idiot, csbryce. My server was down. Sorry!
Webmaster


I must be an idiot. I cannot get this to record anything.

Response to pedro: Right, thanks. Also, remember that if you're using Red5, the process is different. Use the information on the left under the link "Create an application in Red5"
Webmaster


I did not understand that? produce how? 1. As root, create a directory with this command: mkdir /opt/macromedia/fms/applications/foobar Thanks for the good work
pedro


Response to udo: the "dsh" application isn't really an application, it's a directory. If all you need is to be able to record and play back sound, then you need nothing on the server but a directory to hold the sound files. All of the work is done via the Flash app; there is no code on the server side. Cool, eh?
Webmaster


In the "audio record/playback" examples you use a rtmp://red5..../dhs link for recording audio. what is this 'dhs' application and can it be found somewhere on the net? thanks. p.s. very cool examples, thanks.
udo


Server problems. Everything should be fixed now. Sorry everyone! 12/5/2007
Webmaster


Red5, like Flash Media Server, only streams files (both up and down). The audio and video compression is handled by the Flash plugin.
Webmaster


Thanks for sharing all this information and code! :) Answering ken's question, here's a way to convert flv to mp3: http://www.nabble.com/FLV-to-mp3-convertion-t4756223.html Cheers!
Davide


Does Red5 handle the encoding of the upload video or do the video have to be encoded before it can be pushed in an Red5 application?
Neveo


Hi, thanks for the great code and tutorial. Can you tell me: how the heck can I convert my FLV audio files into MP3? I have a .SWF photo application that consumes MP3's via an XML file - but it doesn't know what to do with FLV files. Is there a way to convert these to MP3 or do I need to create a special player that will play FLV? Thanks very much
ken


I fixed some minor server problems. Everything should be working now. PLEASE let me know if something doesn't work. Comments on the site are ALWAYS welcome.

Looking great! Everything seems to work!

FAQ

How do I program a "save" button?

You do not need a save button when recording with FMS/Red5. Files are created by the server through the process of initiating recording.

In other words, if audio has been recorded, that means that there is a file on the server. No separate process of saving is necessary.

The Flash app sets the name of the file to save on the server. The real question should be "how do I tell the Flash app what name to give to the file?"
