jwplayer can read only flv files? - flv

I have a doubt jwplayer can read only flv files or it can read every files

With over one million active users,
the JW Playerâ„¢ is the Internet's most
popular and flexible open source media
player. It can support playback of any
format the Adobe Flash Player can
handle (FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG
and GIF).

EDIT
If you need to deal with any other formats, you can run the conversions server side using ffmpeg

Video Karaoke Development on iPhone

I have a karaoke app that takes mp3+g files and mixes in the mic (using audio units)... and is able to record the final results to a raw pcm file.
I have potential clients asking me if I can do the same with a karaoke video file. So, can I...
1) playback a video and mix in the microphone audio?
2) take #1 and record it to a video file?
3) possibly even take the video camera and microphone inputs, and video audio... and save this to a file?
Thinking about this can I... take an mp3, camera and microphone inputs and mix all of these to a video file?
Thanks for any feedback!

Yes, all of these are possible. With the CD+G format, you will be a lot better off converting those to h.264 on the desktop and then loading them as movies with an AAC audio track. Attempting to write a CD+G parser for iOS would be a nightmare since so many CD+G files are badly broken. Also, CD+G files are shocking large, much larger than the MP3 files because CD+G is dumb uncompressed video from the 80's. It is a silly format.

Software to stream mp3 files playlist in mp3 format

I need a software to stream mp3 files and give me API or something that I can use it to show which track is now being played. Actually I have create an Online Radio with offline file source and showing playlist in frontend or player.

IceCast + ezStream did the job.

Can we stream only flash videos throught RTMP?

I am planning to use Red5 streaming server. The documentation says it uses only RTMP - I am confused if I can stream media in formats other than flash.
Is it possible to stream MP4 / RM / AVI files through RTMP - or rather Red5 ?
Thanks !
Please take a look at the red5 google site, from there you can learn, that Red5
is able to stream not only over RTMP
but also RTMPT, RTMPS, and RTMPE
protocols, and
can stream not only FLV but also F4V,
MP4, 3GP, MP3, F4A, M4A and AAC media
formats.
For RM and AVI you must use a converter to create the appropriate streamable formats. The best way in my opinion to do so is using ffmpeg.
If you need to convert media on the fly, you can use ffmpeg from your java classes. It's easy and offers a large list of parameters 'guaranteeing' that you'll get what you need.

Open Source program for converting wave files for RTMP streaming

Can anyone suggest any open source linux program for converting .wav files to flash format for RTMP streaming? Does RTMP support any format other than flash?
Flash Media Server supports three audio formats for streaming: Nellymoser, MP3, and ACC. You also can play MP3 files directly from the Flash Player view HTTP download, you don't really need to use RTMP (which is more advantageous for video due to higher bitrate).
Here's a good article on streaming audio with FMS:

For conversion, you can use ffmpeg.

You can stream via the CRTMP server to flash clients. VLC can play RTMP streams.

http live streaming for mp3 files

I need help in converting mp3 files to Apples Http Live Streaming protocol files. I am working on a music application and wants to use Live streaming in this app.
I got this link http://www.ioncannon.net/programming/452/iphone-http-streaming-with-ffmpeg-and-an-open-source-segmenter/ from google but it contains how to live stream video files.
Can anybody help me with mp3 files.
Thanks
With ffmpeg you're also able to convert mp3-files only (no video).
Just use:
ffmpeg -i yourmp3.mp3 ...your arguments... output.mp3
To add to Tim's answer, HLS supports mp3 codec. So if your audio is already in mp3, all you would need is the segmenter
