Hi all,I have created a audio chat many to many chat using amazon hosting. The problem i am facing is that even with one to one audio chat, we are experincing a lag of like  2-3 seconds everytime a user speaks, which we believe is not good for audio chat. Can  anyone please guide us what should be done to optimize it.Any Help in this regard would be a great helpThanks in advanceRegardsSumeet Kumar

In my core.log file I'm receiving these error messages;Server detected a backward timestamp from 1973406 to 0 in file:C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\bbc1Server detected a backward timestamp from 1973406 to 0 in file:C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\bbc2Is this an issue caused by the encoder? I'm using a Viewcast Niagara to encode and not the FMLE. These are the only settings I have available. I'm using all default settings on the FMS 4.5 server.  . Thanks,Dave

Hello,We run about 20 FMS servers through Amazon AWS using the Adobe AMI: fms-4.0.1.8011-centos-5.5-ami-1 (ami-6a1deb03)On some of the servers we get fmscore segfaults, which kills the apps instances and make it impossible to launch new app instances. I am having a hard time finding out whether this could be due to errors in our code or if there is some kind of instability in the FMS. It does seems to happen only on the FMSs that are most heavily used.Below are extracts from various logs (message, core, master, edge). Can anyone see from those logs what might be wrong?Thanks in advance!var/log/messageJan  7 17:09:15 domU-12-31-39-18-08-75 Stream[30456]: Bad network data; terminating connection : chunkstream error:message bytes 128 are more than the specified message length 0Jan  7 17:09:15 domU-12-31-39-18-08-75 Adaptor[30456]: Bad network data; terminating connection : (Adaptor: _defaultRoot_, VHost: _defaultVHost_, IP: 70.252.9.75, App: V20111115/en_US_ComServ, Protocol: rt

Looking through our windows event viewer application logs, I've noticed alot of these warning listed. What would cause they messages to generated? Anything to be concerned about?It seems they're all created in between live event streams - after a live stream has stopped published and before the next live event stream begins, about a 20 minute break.Event Type:WarningEvent Source:FMS (Edge)Event Category:(264)Event ID:1213Date:12/31/2011Time:7:22:37 PMUser:N/AComputer:FMSDescription:Connection rejected by server.

Hi,I built a simple rtmfp app using flash builder (I tested using the cirrus dev key to make sure it connects) but I cant seem to use the rtmfp service on my fms development server. Ive modified the index.html (in the webroot dir on the fms computer) to provide a link to a folder containing the html file and the swf file generated from my flash builder project. When I type in "rtmfp://localhost/" on my app I receive a "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" or a "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected" (if i do it directly on the fms computer).Do I need to place my app in the "applications" directory to run properly?Ive checed the adaptor.xml file and everthing seems correct, I even added my public ip to the host port field, is there some confguration I missed?Im not sure what Im doing wrong, Ive double checked my router and the fms computer's firewall thorugh a port scan and found the ports to be allowing traffic through. Im racking my brain trying to figure this out and would really appreciate anyone

Hi,We've had a licensed FMS 3.5.1 running for a long while now (about 3-4 years). Everything was smooth, until a month ago when a new bug was introduced.The bug is a little bit vague, and I might now have tracked it correctly, so any advices are highly appreciated.System Specs:FMS 3.5.1Fedora 12http, mysql, php1 CPU core, 1 GB RAMThe bug: Suddenly when everything is working fine, all streams gets dropped off... no warnings... and sometimes, streams would start having huge latency, then they would drop off.Approaches used to solve this problem:1- I monitored the FMS Console, found that the CPU has high spikes (that reach over 75% for long periods)... so I thought its the CPU and I increased 1 CORE to my server... but the problem didn't go away.2- Using the top command on Fedora to monitor the CPU and/or RAM, I found that the RAM was almost full (and full in many other times), so I increased another 1GB RAM... but still same problem.. and the 2GB RAMs now get almost full in many times.3-

I did a live stream last week using 282,482,832,1500Kbps streams. What would cause the audio to get out of sync with the live video stream? I'm trying to determine if it was  bandwidth related, cpu/memory issue on the FMIS 4.5 server, or an issue with encoding PC exceeding it's limits?Thanks,Dave

We feature Flash videos on our intranet Home page at times and it seems that when the page loads the application logs a connection event as well as a play event to the access logs.  We are trying to get accurate MI for our customers and are having difficulty because of these extra entries.  Can someone please explain how and when the application logs and how we can determine an actual playing of the video vs the page loading with a video on it.   The connection event is no problem (I understand that the player contacts the video server to be sure it could access the video if needed), but I don't understand why the play event is showing up in the access logs and how to stop it.    The video isn't playing.   It is simply sitting on the page that loaded.I can be reached at rafinley@travelers.com.Thanks, Becky

With authentication plugin installed on FMS and FMLE registered to stream on maintenance restarts of the encoding computer - how and where do i save the username and password for the auithentication?(fmle needs to auto login after losing connection, after machine restart etc. - how do i automate its authentication?)

I'm running FMS 4.5 on a Linux system with 4GB of RAM. Whenever I do a live broadcast from the server, the audio does a very strange thing. It sounds, ever so slightly, like an old record player where someone is occasionally (4-5 times a minute) putting a small amount of pressure on the speed of the record player and altering the pitch of the music. All my buffer settings are the default settings. It happens whether I'm doing CD quality audio or dialup 11025 kbps audio. I'm using MP3 for an audio format.I'm not sure what to make of it. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? A setting somewhere perhaps?Thanks so much,EliYah

How can you display current # of viewers connected to a stream and total views similar to how ustream displays them?Is this done using server side actionscript? Are there any templates and/or examples or tutorials to use to get started? Thanks,Dave

I want to retrieve the list of live stream name. Can any one please give me any idea or any sample.Thanks,

I have installed and ran FMS Development Server 3.5 on my Fedora 15 x32 for a long while now. Everything works fine. However, recently I found out about the upgrades for the server. So I downloaded all of them (3.5.2 - 3.5.7)... the current version I have is 3.5.1... and it works fine. Installing any of the new upgrade versions on the server works fine... and when starting the server doesn't give any errors.In /var/logs/messages it says:Server starting...Server started (/opt/adobe/fms/conf/Server.xml).however, checking the binding of my IP address, it shows no bindings to ports 80 and 1935. The admin server works successfully because I can see binding to port 1111.Whenever I run my test application which I used to run successfully on FMS 3.5.1, I cannot get a connection.So I was wondering whats wrong... why it doesn't bind anymore? is there something wrong with my upgrade process?? I even tried uninstalling whatever I currenltly have and installing the new upgrade... same result.I need

Hi,I am trying to install FMS 4.5 on Fedora 15 x64 server.

When calling the getUsers( appInstance ) function, a list of IDs is returned. Shouldn't this ID match the ID that is attached to the client object when they connect to the appInstance??This is how it used to be in FMS 3.5... but now I am facing problems. When a client logs in to my application their client.id = 4702111234625978735, and when I use getUsers() function through another admin application that monitors the first one... I get oAAJAAAA in the list.I understand the issue now that I have the post by SE_0208 hereHowever, I have two questions:1- Is there a quik solution for this until the final fix is there?2- Is this issue resolved in FMS 4.5?Thanks
