Improved RTMP URL parsing

[sapientpants]

Hi John,

Thanks for all your work in putting mediaelement together, it's been a pleasure to work with.

One thing I do need though is to be able to parse RTMP URLs with mp4: as the separator between the streamer and the stream.

This pull request adds parsing of RTMP URLs with mp3:, mp4: and flv: separators and when none of these are present, it uses the previous behaviour.

Thanks again,

Marc

Sorry for all the white space changes, I had a hard time trying to get a clean diff of the actual changes. I notice that when I clone the repo I end up with mixed line endings - maybe you know more about git than I, but I couldn't come up with the proper config to allow me to commit without changing all the whitespace. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am testing these changes to verify support for mp3 and mp4 RTMP streaming using the fallback flash player. It looks like this does correct the issue where RTMP URLs were being parsed incorrectly when the source video is located in a subdir of the FMS application dir.

However, I am not able to get streaming of MP3 using RTMP to work in any case. Progressive download works fine with a tag like . . .

<audio id="player1" width="400" height="364" controls="controls" preload="none" src="http://pso71-ora2/video/28_Wheels_on_the_Bus.mp3" type="audio/mp3">

So this is progressive download from a IIS web server over port 80. I have an FMS application pointing to the same physical location on the server, yet the following audio tag fails to playback the mp3 . . .

<audio id="player1" width="400" height="364" controls="controls" preload="none" src="rtmp://pso71-ora2/video/_definst_/mp3:28_Wheels_on_the_Bus.mp3" type="audio/mp3">

In the case of the mediaelements flash player, the player loads and presents controls but pressing the play button results in nothing. The request never makes it to FMS.

I have a tried URLS both with and without the"mp3:" marker and neither seem to work. I also have a separate web application with a custom embedded flash player that can successfully playback the mp3 at the above URL so I am confident that FMS is can receive and respond to the RTMP request.

@Pansapien, you explicitly mention mp3 above. Does this mean you have been able to playback an mp3 stream over RTMP using your modified version of the media elements flash player? If so can you provide an example of the audio tag you are using? Anything special I need to as far as player options to get this to work?

Thanks, Chad.
