Media Server (read-only)

Hi Mates,I read that it is best to de-interlace video "at the hardware level" before sending it to FMLE 3.2 for encoding. I have looked and looked for a software or solution but can't find anything that I can work. Is it best to de-interlace before sending the video to FMLE? I am streaming live video that needs de-interlacing before sending to our site. I know there is a "de-interlace" option in FMLE 3.2 but read that it was better to de-interlace the signal before sending to FMLE.I found something called DScaler but don't know how to get the video from DScaler into FMLE 3.2.I would so appreciate your help,   CHunter  

I'm trying to limit a client's video playback to 10 seconds.  After that, the client should be disconnected.  I have to allow time for connection and buffering, so I can't just disconnect them after 10 seconds.  I was hoping to override the play command, so I can force the length parameter to 10, but I can't figure out how.  Is this possible?Thanks,Sean

Hello,I am trying to set up Adobe Media Server to stream to HTML5 pages too...It's working with Flash, with NetStream, but I need it with HTML5, to work in iPad/iPhone phones...I get AmazonCloud and ordered Adobe Media Server, and there I found location to f4m file...I replaced title with my stream name and I get output like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">      <id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/myCamera</id>      <streamType>live</streamType>      <duration>0</duration>      <bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../../streams/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/myCamera/myCamera.bootstrap" id="bootstrap2393">      </bootstrapInfo>      <media streamId="myCamera" url="../../../../streams/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/myCamera/myCam

I have Adobe Media Server 4, and I am using Flash  Professional CS5.5 to create streaming application. For testing I use default Adobe Page where you can insert streamer url  and Stream name to connect to streaming source, for overview. It's that page at start up, where you have two blocks of videos, left  one to broadcast and right one to see stream.Here is the AS3 code inside my application:var bandwidth:int = 0; var quality:int = 50;var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();camera.setQuality(bandwidth, quality);camera.setMode(430,320,15, true);var video:Video = new Video();video.attachCamera(camera);addChild(video);video.width = 430;video.height = 320;var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect("rtmp://***");nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent😞void{    if (event.info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")    {    label10.text = 'Con

Hi!We have our video source files on another server than the FMS installation. Can I get FMS connect to this server and play these files? How do I proceed to accomplish this?Thanks

Hello,I have just installed FMS. As fast as I see, there is a Vod application, sending stream from static files. We need to have FMS send a live stream, but from a ready made file.Is there an existing application doing this already? Or does this would require programming a new app on our end? Is what I'm trying to do even possible with FMS?Thank you,Cosmin

Hello,I have developed a video conferencing application based on Flash Media Interactive Server.We conducted the development via the development version of Flash Media Interactive Server, and now we want to put into production, and so we want to buy the license.We want to use the protocol RTMFP for better latency and network cost but the streams are still managed by the FMS server (no use of the peer to peer mode).Basically, we make the call to "NetConnection.connect (address, obj)" with "rtmfp://..." instead of "rtmp ://..."Then we publish the video stream via the method "NetStream.publish" andVideo.attachNetStreamThe server sends the status of "obj" to other clients with the "call () method."On the grid comparative products I can not see if we need the version "Interactive" version or "Enterprise" for these fonctionnalities.The application works very well with the developer version, so it's not possible to know if the interactive version is enough.Kind regards,Etienne Venot

How would I go about relaying/restreaming my stream on one FMS server to another?So I am streaming live content via Flash Media Enconder on Server 1, I want that to be relayed to Server 2, so I can embed the stream using Server 2 on my website.

I am trying to playback recorded  streams from a Flash Media Interactive Server using the VideoPlayer  component in Flex  4/Flash Builder 4.If the stream is located in the  <serverpath>/streams/vod/_definst_ directory then I can get to it  by setting the 'source' parameter of the VideoPlayer to  "<server>/vod/streamname" assuming streamname is an .flv file.  If  the stream is located in an application directory (e.g. 'app1') in the  _definst_ directory (i.e. <serverpath>/app1/streams/_definst_),  then I can successfully play it back by setting the 'source' parameter  to "<server>/app1/streamname".What I can't get to work is when I  have a stream recorded to an instance within an application directory.   So if the application is "app1' and the instance name is "inst1" it  would be literally located in <serverpath>/app1/streams/inst1  directory.  Setting the source parameter

Ok, this is weird.This works if both clients are "inside" the network (connect UDP and send/receive video).But, not if one is on the outside of the network (will connect, but no video)..I can connect 2 clients (1 inside our network) to another client (outside our network).Our systems admins told me that they opened up UDP for ports 1935 and also 19350-20350.Also changed the Adapter.xml and added the following (the 9's are for security reasons):<HostPort public="99.999.999.99:19350-20350">:19350-20350</HostPort>they exchange keys, I see both keys are passed to each other.netStream = new NetStream(netConnection,farid);but this doesn't work.  I can't connect to the  netstream of the farIDIs it something to do with one being on the outside?Any ideas?Greatly Appreciated!Andy G.Message was edited by: gstboces1

For our applications, end-users publish streams from a desktop flash player built into our web app.  The names for the streams they publish are given to the flash app by the web app and have various bits of information encoded into the stream name that our FMS server-side action script interprets.  For example:    * A globally unique identifier for the stream    * The identifier of the downstream server to which the FMS should reflect the stream    * etc.One of the things we'd like to do is add some authentication information to the stream name (for example, a timestamp for when the stream name becomes invalid and an md5 hash of the stream name and a server-side secret).  Ideally, I'd like to be able to then "authorize" these stream in the application onPublish() event handler and reject the publish if the stream name is determined to be invalid.  However, it seems like most of the authentication/authorization hooks are f

Hello,I have a quick question : How many servers can have the same license ? Is it limited to one server or it is possible to use it for more than one server ?I was planning on using the Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 version.Thanks for you answers.

I have installed FMS 4 and have set up a player (longtail) on my website and I am currently streaming videos for my school district using RTMP.Things are working OK, but I do have an issue I have been unable to resolve.  I want to allow the user to jump to certain segments of the long video using a hyperlink that specifies the timecode of the start point.  In the hyperlink, I pass a variable called 'VidStart' which is the timestamp in seconds.This system works flawlessly within my school district's firewall, but outside the firewall the video loads (slower than within the firewall), but the start point links do not work.  Instead of going to the specified timestamp, the video just always from the beggining.Does anyone know if this is a setting within the server or should I be looking at the firewall perhaps not letting me pass variable in the URL?http://www.lbschools.net/Main_Offices/Superintendent/Public_Information/Video/BOE/index.cfm?vid_ID=32&vidStart=1Suggestion
