I'm trying a small app which play a asx streaming file. My understanding was i should parse the asx and get the URL. But in my case, REFHREF in ASX points like this www.website.com:8084. Is this the server configuration need to be modified ? Totally new to this audio streaming protocols. Any suggestion would be much appreacited ...
My code streams audio fine when i test with a ww.website.com/file.MP3
the URL from refhref may most probably lead you to another asx file, which needs to be parsed again, i would advice recursively parsing till u reach a valid playable stream! Wp7 supports asx streams but it disallows(throws an exception for some tags check here )
so you will have to parse the asx yourself, extract the URL and process it further!
Good Luck! post your findings too!

AFAIK there are 2 video streaming plugins available for JMeter:
BlazeMeter - HLS Plugin and
UbikLoadPack Video Streaming plugin
UbikLoadPack as a prohibitive pricing tag and HLS Plugin doesn't test the format I need. Also I want a FOSS solution not a paid one.
Does anyone know of some other plugin or method I could test a webm video stream ?
Edit
#dmitri-t when I try to do this it just hangs. Here I found this script that shows how to test a video. But when I changed the parameters to my video and range to 0-100 it hanged.
Also the example is using HTTP and my video uses HTTPS.
Tried to include a timer. It hangs also.
Yet the video loads perfectly in Chrome with the same url I used in Jmeter.
I also tested the request with Postman. It ignores the range header. So what's probably happening in JMeter is that it's trying to load the whole continuous stream. How do I make it consider range header ?
I tested with Postman on an image in the same server to see if range header was being considered or if it was a server problem and range was respected correctly.
Content-Range header doesn't work also. Please check this related question I did relative to the range problem with streams: Request to a webm stream ignores range header
I don't think you need any form of plugin, you can simulate the browser playing the video using normal HTTP Request sampler sending simple HTTP GET request
Here is the evidence that "playing" an webm "stream" is nothing more than downloading it.
It would be a good idea to add Timers to simulate users watching the video till the end (or according to your test case)
I have one problem regarding MediaInfo.Builder of Google Cast. I used following code:
MediaInfo mediaInfo = new MediaInfo.Builder("http://shoutcast2.index.uz.zgora.pl:8000")
.setStreamType(MediaInfo.STREAM_TYPE_LIVE)
.setContentType("audio/mpeg")
.build();
But Cast player is not working at all. The reason is, that URL leads to SHOUTCAST. Apparently, the problem is in content type. Could somebody advise which contentType to use for shoutcast streams, or at least provide some workaround for this?
Thank you.
Instead of http://shoutcast2.index.uz.zgora.pl:8000/, use http://shoutcast2.index.uz.zgora.pl:8000/;. Note the semicolon on the end.
SHOUTcast servers are going to look for Mozilla in the User-Agent request header, as a way of detecting a browser vs. a media player. If the server thinks the client is a browser, it will send the admin page rather than the stream. By passing ; in the request URI, the SHOUTcast server will use the user agent string of MPEG OVERRIDE and will send the actual stream data.
You should also know that SHOUTcast isn't truly HTTP compatible. It's close enough that it will probably work, but may stop working in the future. Icecast is one of several better alternatives.
Brad's solution worked for me. Just added a slash and a semicolon after the port. I also changed the content type from audio/mpeg to audio/mp3. My working code looks like this.
MediaInfo mediaInfo = new MediaInfo.Builder("http://shoutcast2.index.uz.zgora.pl:8000/;")
.setStreamType(MediaInfo.STREAM_TYPE_LIVE)
.setContentType("audio/mp3")
.build();

I trying Allvideos Player component and many other player plugin without success...
Please someone can called any extension or plugin can play this type of files
thank you
If you are saying that you can't play the above streams using the HTML5 tag, then, yes, this is expected behaviour at this time.
To play HLS and DASH video streams on a web browser you typically would use a Javascript player like Dash.js, BitMovin, Shaka player etc.
You can see example players which will allow you test the streams here:

I am trying do play songs from soundcloud, which is working fine for one exception: when the response handler is called, the download of the file is allready complete. I'd like to start playing the file directly after the download started, but i have no clue how to access the data before the response handler gets called. Accessing the data ln the progress handler would be nice, but i need a hint on how to do it.
If you write your own download code using NSURLConnection and
initWithRequest:delegate:startImmediately:, the delegate methods (e.g.
connection:didReceiveData:) will be called as the data becomes available.
You risk running out of data if you try to play the sound as it is downloaded. You should probably implement a buffering system where you download enough extra data for several seconds of playback before you start playing. That way you can smooth over short "stutters" in the download.
I suggest you at least two options to perform what you want:
1. AVPlayer supports playing a file from http. If you download a static file - you can just ask a player to stream over http.
2. You can download a small chunks of file (5 MB at once, for example) and append them to the result file or write directly into memory buffer. You can download a file chunk of specified size by just adding a Content-Range header with an offset you need. (see RFC, 14.16 Content-Range for more specific info). This method requires server to support partial downloads, but in nowadays it is harder to find a sever that does not support this =) Alamofire easily allows you to do that.
I am trying to record an audio file from the microphone and uploading the same to a server using MultiPart data POST method. I would appreciate some help.
I am currently working on C# and making the code for Windows Phone 7.
Would deeply appreciate some help and if possible, some code reference as i am a newbie on the platform.
When recording from the Microphone, your data is raw PCM data. You will have to encode it manually, which may not be an easy task if you want to encode it into an MP3. You could upload the file (example in the link ba__friend` posted) as a WAV, or simply the raw data, and convert it to an MP3 on your server.
