Need start player every cut on stream

[Vico]

Hi super Max!, I´m feeding my WCS servers with a Rtsp live video, every time the rtsp feed have a cut(o micro-cut) the user needs to push the play button again.

There is a way to force the player to autostart when the rtsp starts again? it´s too crazy?

A way to always autoplay?

Thanks in advance men!!,
Vico

Good day.
Please try to restore stream playback automatically by tweakling player code as described here.

 

[Vico]

Wow!, super thanks.
Max, this is the player.js? where it is?
Thanks men
Vico

 

[Max]

this is the player.js? where it is?

Yes. This code can be applied to player.js

 

[Vico]

Yes. This code can be applied to player.js

Excuse me again men!, where to find player.js?

 

[Max]

This is our demo player.html

Player

This is demo player.js

https://demo.flashphoner.com/client2/examples/demo/streaming/player/player.js

If you have a project you have own player.js or similar file on your web server where player is deployed.

I´m just using the embed from a WCS instance.
So I´d paste the code on the:
/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer-5.2.944-XXXX/client2/examples/demo/streaming/embed_player/player.js

But now I can´t play a thing, It´s like allways thinking... .-)

Please provide the player.js code which you've modified using this form, we will check

 

[Vico]

Can you see something?

I send the one from this folder...

We prepared player.js file for Embed Player with playback restart. Restart parameters are configured with the following variables in the script:

var restartTimeout = 3000; //ms
var restartMaxTimes = 100; //will try to restart playback for 5 minutes

So by default it will try to play a stream againg every 3 seconds during 5 minutes. That should be enough, but you can increase if needed.
Unpack zip file attached and replace the file /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer-5.2.944-XXXX/client2/examples/demo/streaming/embed_player/player.js with the script

Wow Max!, this looks like a dream to me, not kidding, this will save me
But I can´t make this work, try in different servers and allways get a thinking circle but no work

You are using too old WebSDK build, so our example did not work.
We've updated WebSDK on your server to latest build 2.0.189, and Embed Player example now works:

Booooooooommmmm!!!, amazing Max. woks like a charm.
How to propely update my other servers to the 2.0.189?
Thaks for this men,
Vico

How to propely update my other servers to the 2.0.189?

1. Download WebSDK build

wget https://flashphoner.com/downloads/builds/flashphoner_client/wcs_api-2.0/flashphoner-api-2.0.189-cc8e7265a3adb7a55546a48ee0fc31df6fff2f6d.tar.gz

2. Unpack the archive

tar -xzf flashphoner-api-2.0.189-cc8e7265a3adb7a55546a48ee0fc31df6fff2f6d.tar.gz

3. Backup old WebSDK

cd /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer
sudo mkdir -p client2.backup
sudo cp -r client2/* client2.backup
sudo rm -rf client2/*

4. Go to the archive folder unpacked and copy it over the old WebSDK

cd ~
cd @flashphoner/websdk-2.0.189
sudo cp -r * /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2
cd ~
sudo cp -r client.version /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2

5. Copy modified player.js to the Embed Player example folder

sudo cp player.js /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/client2/examples/demo/streaming/embed_player

6. Optionally, restart WCS to display a new version in dashboard

sudo systemctl restart webcallserver

You rule men!!

Good day.
We tried to check the stream rtsp://**.***.**.***:***/75502645 that you've provided in latest report sent from this topic. Unfortunately this is unavailable with message Failed to connect to rtsp stream. So please clarify the time interval when the stream is available, or make it available 24/7 if possible.
