Getting streaming to work properly in JWPlayer - streaming

I'm trying to implement streaming with JWPlayer using the following URL: rtmp://stream.technolutions.com/vod/mp4:0447d67935584a81986a0311443a7d9c.mp4.
I'm putting this RTMP URL in the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("modal-videoplayer-container-1").setup({
file: "rtmp://stream.technolutions.com/vod/mp4:0447d67935584a81986a0311443a7d9c.mp4",
image: "http://placehold.it/739x554/0000cc/&text=700x450",
width: 700,
height: 450
});
</script>
I understand there's a different between Application and Stream but testing this URL inside VLC as a remote video works just fine. Any ideas?

If you are having similar problems it is possible that your SWF file could be corrupted (due to being moved/copied in an automated workflow such as Grunt or Gulp). Some aspects of JWPlayer may work but when you use a feature that's solely flash based (such as JWPlayer streaming) it will just show a blank black box where you expect your video to play.
Try including JWPlayer's cloud-hosted JS file instead of hosting it yourself to see if it solves it. Special thanks to Ethan and Cooper at JWPlayer for helping me out with this.

Dynamically change overlay of HTTP stream

I need to http stream a source file (*.ts) with a logo or subtitle track, that can dynamically be changed (on server side) during run-time. The stream will be viewed on an iPad. A static logo is quite easy to implement with VLC, however not a dynamic one...
I found an old VLC wiki page were this is described for logo changing:
vlc -I rc --logo-file nonexistent_dummy.png --sout "#transcode{vcodec=...,vb=...,sfilter=logo}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{...}}"
# Once the program has started
add video.avi
# If using VLC 0.9.0 or newer (see NEWS for details about the new syntax):
#logo logo-file logo.png
It seems that the #logo command was removed in the more recent versions of RC Interface. Is it possible to change logo filter during run time by another Interface or the standard GUI?
Is there any other free or open source solutions to stream and change overlay during run-time?
Thank you.

Flowplayer Secure Streaming (via PHP): MP4 videos not Pseudo-Streaming (FLVs do)

I've ran into a problem with MP4 secure pseudo streaming.
First of all, a couple of FACTS for you to get the idea:
I'm using Flowplayer
I have mod_h264_streaming installed and working.
I have successfully added secure streaming plugin (PHP validation) and it's working with pseudo for FLV videos (thanks to mod_h264_streamin, of course).
I'm testing with an MP4 with the moov-atom at the beginning (and the video starts immediately. No pseudo, though).
Now... when flowplayer loads an MP4, the player makes a request like this:
http://mydomain.com/videos/fa3...[security_hash]...46/video.mp4?start=0
Note the ?start=0
When I seek to another part of the video (not yet loaded), the player makes this request:
http://mydomain.com/videos/fa3...[security_hash]...46/video.mp4?start=33.342
Note the ?start=33.342
This results in the video starting again from the beginning, which is the problem.
ADDITIONAL FACT: for MP4 files start is sent (to the PHP script) as the seconds of the timeline where you click on, and for FLVs start is sent as the seek position in Bytes and I think this difference is the main reason of the issue.
My question is:
How do I handle, in my PHP pseudo streaming script, MP4 videos streaming?
Auto-question: Should I use byte ranges headers?
I'm not posting code, as it's not a coding problem, but a conceptual one: let's focus on the idea by now.
Also, all files I'm testing with are well encoded and they are not the problem.
Thanks

How to upload an image with jquery in all browsers

I am currently creating a form that involves a file uploader. Currently
my form is fine just using multipart and post but later on in future iterations
it will be necessary for the form to be posted with ajax in order to edit the
image before submitting the form.
I have seen a lot of things about multiple files like jquery-file-upload and swf
and php with uploadify and a whole host of non IE 7+ solutions. However those are
not going to work for this specific project and I am really just looking for the bare
bones nothing fancy to have to deal with just sends the image data to an endpoint.
What is the best way to do this in a way that can support all browsers.
=====EDIT=====
I havent tested this completely yet but this solution seems good to me
https://github.com/francois2metz/html5-formdata
Fine Uploader is a library that provides the ability to support cross-browser uploading. Ajax/xhr post requests are used for all browsers that support the file api. Otherwise, a form-based upload method is used. No flash is used or needed. This is all transparent to the user. Check out fineuploader.com for more details.
You can't send file through AJAX request this is just impossible. If you use HTML5 File API that would work but as you stated in your question you need to support old browsers. So I think you either have to use flash (uploadify uses flash as well) or you don't have any other option.
You can have a look at this question/answer:

Cross-browser solution for displaying MJPEG stream

Is there a lightweight, free, and reliable way to display MJPEG in a cross-browser environment? I'm trying to display an MJPEG stream from an Axis 2120 IP camera on a site that I'm developing, and I've found that this is quite reliable in current versions of Firefox. However, after some testing I've found that IE, Opera and Chrome all have varying degrees of trouble doing this (no Mac access, so I'm not sure about Safari). Internet Explorer has no support for MJPEG and doesn't work at all. Opera takes literally 10-15 seconds to display anything after the initial GET was sent. Chrome works perfectly until the <div> that contains the <img> tag is hidden and then shown again.
For reference, I'm using an <img> tag to display the stream like so:
<img src="http://my.ip.addr/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi/?resolution=352x240" alt="real-time video feed" />
I've considered using a re-broadcasting server to collect the MJPEG stream and transcode it on-the-fly, but this solution seems too ugly. Are there any better suggestions out there?
I've just came out with a solution a couple of months ago. It's cross-platform, and doesn't need third-party plugins such as Flash or Java.
Basically, it's a node.js proxy which parses m-jpeg boundaries and delivers images in a defined interval.
Fork it at https://github.com/rodowi/Paparazzo.js
Here is a Java applet based solution that you can use for any browser (or just the ones that don't support MJPEG): http://www.charliemouse.com/code/cambozola/
As far as other bugs go with MJPEG, I have found that you should set the 'src' attribute of the 'img' tag to something besides the MJPEG before you try to remove 'img' tag. Example:
<img src="#" />
If you don't do that, Firefox will continue to download MJPEG stream even though it shouldn't.

can you write some code snippet on how to upload file to server...?
If you are using http to transfer files.Allseeing-i have a great api for this called ASIHTTPRequest, its feature rich, well documented, easy to use and it supports file transfer tracking.
They have code examples and a description on how to include it in your projects.
