Are we supposed to just trust it works??http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/helpmechoose.htmllooks like 4.5 development server is vaporware so please remove ASAP!

HiI'm completely new to FMS but a seasoned Flex developer.  We're building a Flash Builder 4.5 application which will be deployed to iPads. The basic functional requirements are as follows:---1. Presenter in a room has a camera streaming video of themselves2. Participants in the same room have an iPad - there are 30 participants and the stream is sent to all 30 iPads simultaneously.3. There must be lowest delay possible with good quality video - we understand this can be achieved with RTMP and that VP6 has to be used (as there is no H.264 support at present in AIR on iOS)4. The presenter will trigger certain things from their iPad which will then display certain alerts, content on the partcipants iPad (from server connection the participant iPads are listening to) ---- Firstly, I'm interested to know your thoughts on this current spec.  This was put together from zero initial experience with FMS and having read a lot online and creating a proof-of-concept.  Secondly, wi

Hi There!I am streaming to live videos with audio to our webpage, each with it's own accompanying audio.   On my laptop, I could stream them without any trouble but it would overheat so I had two new computers built just for encoding.   Now, on the new computers, the 2 videos stream fine but only on audio file works at a time. The other just gets hung up on one note of sound and repeats very annoyingly over and over.Will you please help me if you know what could be causing my audio not to work on the second stream?   I am using a i7 Intel Processor and Gigabyte motherboard with Windows 7 Home Premium and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2.This is driving me nuts.   I don't understand why my laptop would do this just fine but a more powerful desktop would not!As an example, when I listen to the audio on the first stream, it plays perfectly.   When I turn that down and check the other sound stream it will play the first 1 second of sound over a

We have done several weeks of testing with WOWZAmedia server for a customer.  We went that directions because we could use ir do deliver live streams to IOS devices.  Now we can do the same thing with Flash media server 4.5 and have a couple questions.1) our data center only provides 100Mb connections.  With wowza were going to run it on 3 virtual servers with there own dedicated 100Mb connections in a origin/edge configuration.  How can this be addressed in FMS?2) Can we record the live streams for VOD playback with FMS or do we need another version? 3) If we can record, will the server append to the file if they loose connection and connect again in the middle of a live stream?4) Is there a trial version of FMS?

I see in the product comparison matrix that FMIS 4.5 allows for SIP ports, but I'm not finding any documentation for related configuration or API'sIs there any documentation available? Has Flash Media Gateway been rolled into FMIS? Can we handle inbound SIP calls with FMIS now?

Hi,We've set up a recording service that constantly populates an FMS application with new .mp4 files. How can we automate the creation of html files on the webserver to point to and stream these new videos? We use the webserver included in the FMS installation.Thanks

We've been streaming our campus radio station via FMS 3.5, and a WM server.Problem with both of these is we don't get a stream format that iTunes radio likes.  We got close with creating an mp3 stream out of the FME, but we can't get the quality up theAnyone got a how to for FMS on creating an iTunes radio compatible stream? 

I have a folder in my applications folder in FMS 4.0Is it possible to stream both Live and VOD from this sames folder.Thanks in advance for any help.

NetStream.play(streamName, -1);  This seems to be working wrong.  For example, if I have recorded an flv on server using FMS and FMLE with  only audio with name "myaudio" and then after if I try to play a live  stream using NetStream.play("myaudio", -1) then it plays the recorded  stream. I believe that documentation says that it should start a live  stream instead of playing recorded stream as the second argument is -1.  Is this a bug in NetStream.play method?

We have used JW Player (latest) and FMS 3.0x for years to deliver VOD of many flv files across our site.  We recently implemented FMS 4.5 and are stuck on one pretty big issue.  When using FMS 3.0x we could use flashvars streamer/file to point to our server and flv file respectively.  With FMS 4.5 the behavior changes.  FMS 4.5 will no longer allow paths in the file falshvar.  For example:This works in FMS 3.0streamer=rtmp://our_fms_server.domain.com/app_name&file=my/flash/file.flvOn FMS 4.5 this will result in a spinning wheel, but the flv never plays (FMS 4.5 admin console says it is playing).  However if I move the flv path info to the streamer flashvar it works, as shown below:streamer=rtmp://our_fms_server.domain.com/app_name/my/flash&file=file.flvI REALLY don't want to have to edit every page on our site that plays videos this way.  Does anyone know if a setting in FMS 4.5 changed from 3.0 that would cause this?  Any suggestions wou

Hello,I need some help. I would like to access to microphone bytearray in realtime to modify the sound to record.How can i do this?Thanks to lot to see me an exampleOeann

Hi,What would be the crucial things to optimize when you have hundreds of people connected to your application, with most of them being in a video conference with RTMFP direct_connections, and also some using RTMP connections?Our app seems to go down under heavy load. - RTMFP stops working (no one can connect to the service with RTMFP NetConnection) and RTMP NetStreams don't work either, however Text Chat works.Server we use have a connection limit of 500 connections, and 2.5mbps speed limit per connection (a video conference with 4 people uses less than that so it seems fine).Thanks

Good time 4all!  I've try to solve next task.There are 4 IP-cameras in my local network, for example 192.168.1.40-192.168.1.44. So, task is to make broadcast streaming video from all of this cameras and sound from couple of those. The main question is next: HOW_TO_DO_THIS? )))   How redirect streams from local IP-s to FMS in Amazon Web Service, for getting four unique URL-s for each camera?

Hey everyone,   I have installed the Flash Media Server v4.3 and Flash Media Live Encoder v3.2...    Question: How do I launch FMLE?   Thank you,

We have several systems, inside and outside (development, test and production), that we need to upgrade FMS on.    Over time, I have found the process utterly cumbersome, prone to errors and time consuming... and outright annoying therefore.   The permissions are never consistent, usually insecure (tmp and other directories world writable), and so on.I wonder if anyone here has come up with a nifty way to work around this.    For example, our setup is pretty uniform, so it's really unnecessary to do an interactive install all the time -- I could of course strip down the installFMS script, but I don't want to conflict with future changes.I've also thought about just breaking down and making an RPM for internal use (more work).Suggestions welcomed.

Hello All,As stated above, I wanted to know if I can take a video playlist, say with 4 clips, and have FMIS create a separate file out of the 4 individual clips. Specifically, a user selects 4 (or any number) of clips to create their playlist, then at the end, a 'full length' file is created. If this isn't clear, let me know and I'll try to elaborate.Many thanks in advance!Sincerely,wordman

OK... I have successfully installed FMS 3.5 on my Linux server. If I go to the sample video player and play rtmp:/vod/48, the video plays perfectly.  I did that by SSH the video to the actual FMS media folder in /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media. Now, I want the ability to FTP the videos to my client’s website (i.e. /home/user/public_html/videos) This is the part I am not sure on... - Where do I go and add that info so I can FTP the videos without SSH?- What do I actually type in? Thanks

I've modified the DynamicStream class to support a playlist.  Before this goes into a production environment, will there be any updated releases of these classes from Adobe that support a playlist?Stream switching is often delayed until the next clip starts playing, so I get a transition to the previous clip in the middle of the next clip.  Is that where "oldStreamName" comes in handy?  Will it prevent the transition if the clip we're transitioning from has changed since the SWITCH request was made?Also, the call to "setBandwidthLimit" was absolutely killing our streams. The buffer would quickly empty out as soon as the stream started playing again.I removed the "setBandwidthLimit" call, but now it takes forever to actually switch up from a low to a high quality stream.  Is there a way to achieve faster switching speeds without utilizing this bandwidth limit?(details:   VOD, not live streams.   Using an FMS server, serving a mix of H.264 [600 &am

I know NetStream can publish video from a camera, but is there anyway to generate video from the stage?If would be nice to record what is on the stage to the FMS for playback.Even combining the camera with elements on the stage.This would be even better once Stage3D is available to generate 3D generated videos.Is there anyway to overload Camera to insert any display object you wanted?Thanks.

Hi Adobe Community,I'm writing because I need some assistance with the HelloWorld example in the FMS 4 documentation.My setup is as follows all on a local network:Server---------Flash Media Server 4Apache 2.2 (used FMS installer to set this up)CentOS 5.3Firewall Disabled (for simplicity at the moment)Dev Machine--------Windows 7 Home PremiumFlash CS5I installed FMS 4 just fine. I can reach the Administrator console, view the index.html, play the videos etc.I created a folder called HelloWorld under the installpath/applications directory. I placed my HelloWorld.asc file as built and instructed by the documentation.On the developement machine I have my HelloWorld.fla + HelloWorld.as script in the same directory.I set the connection line HelloWorld.as to... :nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.1.4/HelloWorld");This way it would point out to the FMS server and I get the following from trace() after testing (aka building the swf):Connecting...Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code

I have vod files that need to be restricted to only the IP range of the ISP service. The live streaming can be available to all, how do I restrict vod access in the FMS Interactive Server, is it in the following?Virtual host on Interactive Sever:/opt/adobe/fms/conf/_defaultRoot_/vidserver.acme.com/Would I edit these files for that restriction, how do I put the IP range in format wise?/opt/adobe/fms/applications/vodallowedSWFdomains.txtallowedHTMLdomains.txtWould I add the IP range in this files for each virtual host, I have 3 of them?Any help advice would be great.All of the vod files are stored in:/opt/adobe/fms/webroot/vodI do not want to impact the ability to view live streams, it will need to remain open.

So I've built a player to play playlists and it uses my own DynamicStream class (not the abobe one). I've ran into an issue with playing the same video multiple times. In this app there will be many occassions when a video may be repeated in the playlist up to 3 times. Here's an example of the problem:Lets say I have 2 videos in a playlist and they are the exact same video. They both are the low birate version. The fist video dynamically swiches to different bitrates seamlesly as planned. If I fast forward the stream to the begining of the second video it starts playing and if my bandwith is ok it wants to switch to a better bitrate. It swiches but instead of being seemless it plays the second video from the begining again. So, I'm thinking this is where oldStreamName comes in. So I add the oldSteamName and make sure its correct, but the problem with that is if the same video is in playlist more than once then the transition never even happens.Any ideas or suggested work arounds?Thanks

I got everything else to work (inside pc connec to outside pc via rtmfp and our fmes server that is on the inside).But, I cannot connect an android device (outside our network) using rtmfp air app to a client on the inside of our network (using our fmes server).The droid device (outside) CAN connect to a pc that is on the outside with no problem, but not to a pc on the inside.any ideas?thank youAndy G.

Hi,I have FMS 4 and a videochat app (one-to-one), everything runs smoothly until about 750 users (it means about 1500 connections to fms), then I get a sudden drop in users connected to 300-400, no errors in the fms log and the cpu/memory usage is at about 25% just before this. I'm running Windows 2008 R2 Web (x64) and I've red somewhere that maybe this version of windows has some connection limit that could be the cause, but I've no idea of what could be happening.Should you require more info just ask.Hope you could help.Thanks
