Media Server (read-only)

I use Ubuntu server 10.4 64bit and have Flash streaming server 3.5.5 working fine.  For security reason I also installed Authentication Addin on FMS and was able to add user using command /opt/adobe/fms/conf/users add -u FlashSAC  -p pass.  I verified and the user FlashSAC was added to the User.dat located opt/adobe/fms/conf.  However when I used Live Encoder 3.1 to send a live stream to FMS, it worked without prompting for username and password at all. I tested Authentication Addin with Flash streaming server 3.5.5 on Windows XP and it prompted for username and password.  I need the Addin to work with Ubuntu. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,I installed FMS about a year ago, and realized that it broadcasts videos in "real time", just the point where the video is, without a "progressive display and download".Maybe there is a mode in FMS that makes it work in "progressive display and download" way in HTTTP connections, just like youtube or any other tube, so, it will be downloading the rest of a video, while playing its previous part. If there is such a mode please let me know how to switch to it.Thank you.

Hi i m new for FMS I just wanna make a connection, I put swf file in FMS folder and here my codepackage{  import flash.net.NetConnection;  import flash.display.Sprite;  import flash.text.TextField;  import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;  public class main extends Sprite  {        private var nc:NetConnection;        private var rtmpNow:String;        private var msg:String;        private var connectText:TextField;        function main ()        {            nc=new NetConnection();            nc.addEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);             rtmpNow="rtmp://216.

Hi For a number of reasons (which I wont bore you with) we may have  to interface our FMS servers over an NFS mesh to share disks. For example we have 6 core sites around the world and we want all core sites to see each others primary content store. Whilst we sort out the commercials for Aspera or similar to handle file replication properly, I had the idea to use <streams> to remotely mount each others disks (The disk systems here present themselves as NAS via NFS)So before you say No, don't do it im not sure I have a lot of choice at present.Its a large global core/edge deployment and the edges are implicitly configured to their origin.The QUESTION is, If i DID want to do it how many <streams> can I define before the server ignores them?ThanksAH

Hi all,I have developed a flash player swf which uses FMS as streaming server.The swf is loaded in a web page, it has the VideoPlayer component with the source set to the FMS:"rtmp://---URL---/vod/MP4:/VideoFolder/master_video"It works perfectly when the folder VideoFolder is not restricted. I have then many folders (a digital library with restrictions) with different permission set, using ActiveDirectory: basically, when the web page is loaded, and the flash player try to access to some images inside the folder, the login/password is prompted automatically by the browser, and the user has to insert login and password for his domain.If I don't use the streaming server, but normal progressive download, setting video.source = "VideoFolder/master_video.mp4" it works perfectly, it asks me login and password and then the video is played.Now, is there a way to use the streaming server with this authentication system?The best would be that the flash player prompt username and password, and th

I followed the tutorial at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/amazonec2/WS6fc2df2b6d2ce24359910e2812c396a83eb-7ff8.html#WS6fc2df2b6d2ce24359910e2812c396a83eb-7ff6 (that hugely long URL points to "Adobe Flash Media Server 4.0 * Tutorials: on-demand and live streaming"), especially the section titled Live streaming with DVR. Basically I've done the following:                             Started an AWS instance with the FMS AMI and attached an elastic IPDownloaded the dvrcast_origin application and copied it to /mnt/applicationsEdited my /etc/hosts to point "fms1" to the AWS instance IP addressConfigured FMLE to stream to rtmp://fms1/dvrcast_origin with a stream name of dan, checked the DVR Auto Record checkbox, and started a stream runningGone to http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/# and configured a basic player, and verified that I can

Hello all, For a client, I am working on a project where a live RTMP stream is published to an Adobe FMS 3.5.6 server from a java application, using Red5 0.9.1 RTMPClient code.This works fine, until the timestamp becomes higher than 0xFFFFFF after 4.6 hours, and the RTMP extended timestamp field starts being used. I have already found: when the extended timestamp was written after the header, the last 4 bytes of the data were being cut off. I have fixed this locally, and now the data being sent seems to me to be conformant to the spec. However, FMS still throws an error message in the core log and then kills the connection from the Red5 client. Here is the error message:This is the error message:2011-06-03     14:28:02     13060     (e)2611029     Bad network data; terminating connection : chunkstream error:message length 11893407 is longerthan max rtmp packet length   &nb

Hi, I am trying to set up DVR streaming using FLME. I'm following this tutorial:http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12398/enabling-dvr-streamingI'm up to Step 2,I put in the following information into the FLME:FMS URL: rtmp://222.222.222.222/dvrcast_originStream: mp4:sample.f4vThen click 'Connect' , but I get an error "Failure to connect to primary server. Please verify that your server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry". My server is a 32-bit windows 2007 VPS , with FMS running.I don't know if I set up the DVR Cast application correct. All I did was copy the dvrcast_origin into the installationdirectory/applications, then I started a new instance of dvrcast_origin with _definst_...Also, I am running the trial version of FMS, and DVR needs FMIS. Is there a way I can just run FMIS?Please

I’ve installed this application in my server: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/rtmfp_cirrus_app.htmlbut changing the reg.cgi file for this other version made in php: http://active6.com/actionscript/the-adobe-stratus-beta-sample-app-and-phpmysqlAll works properly when I use a connection to the stratus server in this way: [Bindable] private var connectUrl:String = "rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net"; But my intention is to do it without the Stratus server. Then I’ve installed a FMS4 in my own server and I’ve changed the connectUrl string for this other one:rtmfp://mydomainname/VideoPhoneLabs/_definst_I’ve opened completely all the UDP and TCP ports in the router and in the server too, and deactivate the firewall and the result is that when I call the application from any computer in the LAN, all works perfectly, but when I do it from any other client from outside the local network through the internet, the connection is impossible.Should I configure any parameters in the FMS4?Where

Hello everybody, for accounting I need some infomation on the FMS access log data. We need to bill our clients for Player traffic. In order to do that, is it a valid procedure to 1) extract all lines with an x-category of "stream" and an x-event of "stop" and 2) pick out the value of the sc-stream-bytes field to get the traffic for a single stream hit, taking into account all pause and seek operations? The documentation says: "To calculate the bandwidth usage per stream, subtract the 'sc-stream-bytes' in the 'play' event by the 'sc-stream-bytes' in the 'stop' event. It might get a little difficult to find the corresponding "stream/play" entry for a "stream/stop" event, especially if the entries are contained in different log files. Anyway, in all my testing I always got an "sc-stream-bytes" value of 0 for "stream/play" events. Under which circumstances can the value of this field be greater than 0? Any help on this topic is appreciated. Thanks Stefan

Hello?I'm using the DVR service, problems arise.Identify the cause and which is something to do with the file size is recorded in dvrRecorded on the day that the file size is approximately 20GB, and are deleted once a daydvr files recorded in a larger size is a problem do you have symptoms?1,000 people by the client is connected to the origin server fmscore.exe process cpu usage is increasing, and should live.Please answer.Note FMS 4.02 is being used in the dvrcast 1.2.114.

          I have used the Dvrcast application with FLVPlayback 2.5.0.26 for playing the dvr video. I have successfully achieved the dvr functionality with that application but i don’t know how to update the seekbar max time (ex: while I play the video it the video length say for example 3min after i play the video it is keep on increasing the length since its dvr publishing will continue in other hand). It shows the max time of video when I enter to play the video not the current length of the video. I need the help to achieve this function. Thanks in Advance

Hello, I have a live streaming application running on FMS4. The application  was working fine on FMS 3.5 we upgraded to FMS 4 and have some issues.  The problem is: - we use a Java web app for managing business logic which comunicates through AMF with the SSAS app on FMS 4. - the java app queries the Flash Administration Server for stream  stats. The Flash Admin returns in XML format data about the stream. One  node of the XML contains the publisher's id which looks something like  this: oAAFAAAA. Suppose I want to disconnect the client, so I send a message to the  SSAS application running on FMS telling it to disconnect the client with  id oAAFAAAA. This was working on 3.5. The problem is that it appears  that client.id on SSAS side from version 4 returns a number, for example  4702111234558869871. So I cannot disconnect them. How can I solve the  naming id of the clients? Thanks

Hi, i got a problem.I tried to use NetGroup, but it seems that the peers can't see each other when they connect to my FMS4. I can only get NetGroup.Connect.Success but no NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect.The same code can work fine if connecting to Cirrus, so maybe it's not about my firewall or NAT problems.I made two pages for testing. Each of them launchs two instances with same group name.Here is the one connecting to my FMS4:http://labs.medialand.com.tw/jason/fms/test_fms4.htmlAS code: http://labs.medialand.com.tw/jason/fms/fms4test.txtAnd this connecting to Cirrus:http://labs.medialand.com.tw/jason/fms/test_cirrus.htmlAS code: http://labs.medialand.com.tw/jason/fms/cirrustest.txtPlease really need help.Thanks!

Has anyone been able to get bandwidth detection to work using the flvplayback control (client side - using AS3)? I have successfully got it to work using the video component with bwcheck and bwdone but I need to figure out how to do this with the FLV playback control. I am using FMS 3 and do not want to use the native bandwidth detection that comes with FMS. I need to detect the clients bandwidth and set the buffer time and what bitrate of a video (high, medium, low) I provide to a user based on their bandwidth.In other words, is there an equivialant of bwcheck and bwdone that the flv playback can hook into to detect the client's bandwith?I appreciate your help in advance!Thank you,Brad

Hello... I've just joined today, and I had a question about RED5 & Adobe... Does anyone know if it is possible to broadcast multiple video  chats using Adobe flash player from "RED5 flash server"? Thanks, P.delafortune

The FMS_auth_addin_win_v3.msi insists to put the files into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\conf but the server is installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4. I nuked all the Abobe content in the 32 bit area, but it keeps re-installing it there.The server used to run 32-bit FMS 3.5, but since we upgraded, I can't get the authentication addin to work. Can I just copy the thing over?

I've been tasked with finding a bug that you may be able to help me with. We have a webcam/chat application that is having bad issues with the video display of a live stream. The application is a bit old (Flex 3.2 recompiled to FB 4.5) and uses FMS 4 which gets it`s encoded streams from FMLE 3.2. The problem is that when a stream is sent using H.264, the playback in Flash is quite bad. Visually, it basically looks like Flash does not always display the "in between keyframes information" properly. Big square pixels from the last keyframe appear instead.Have you ever seen this behaviour?Thanks!

Dear experts,I would like to try to create an Asp.Net C# application to record audio online using Adobe Flash Media Server. Could you please tell if it is doable, and suggest what I could start with? Thanks.

Hi!I am running into some problems.  With our new LMS on logging in, the systems creates a link to content with an on-demand virtual directory.Now with our old system this didnt happen and we could hardcode in fms.ini the guid's of the asset locations.Can you think of anyway for me to incorporate this on-demand guid created on login in the fms.ini so that I can get the files to play using this virtuil directory?

Hi,i own a site like ustream/justin where users can register and broadcast their channels using FMLE.Sometime i need to ban broadcasters after i recieves any complaint against any channel. I do them on website, there is no issue in that.But how to do that on server side at FMIS.I need to do it bcause the stream users are already watching the channel page before it got banned, they still can watch it till they do the refresh.So i need something that can stop the Live Stream of that particular channel on FMS server too.how can i supply stream names to main.asc that should be banned or not to allow publishing without restartting server each time.kindly suggest something in detail
