Media Server (read-only)

Hi,I'm looking for a solution where clients watch a live stream video and can record part of this stream while watching and save this recording to disk. I can think of several solutions but not sure if any of them is possible:- The selected part is recorded locally and saved through FileRefence.- The selected part is recorded with FMS though a second NetStream and saved with a unique ID. The user can retrieve the recorded video by download.- Start-time and end-time of the recording are send to the server where some script extracts the requested video from the live stream recording file and return it as a download.Would any of these solutions work and what would be the best approach?Thanks!

Hi!On page 16 of developer guide it is said that the structure of URL is followsprotocol:[//host][:port]/appname/[instanceName]But earlier on this page it was said that The NetConnection class connects a client to an application instance on the server.and an example was givenvar nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/HelloServer");where the connect directive does not contain instance name. So, how these relates? Does instance name is just omited in example meaning _definst_?Is it possible to writenc.connect("rtmp://localhost/HelloServer/room1");?Thanks.

Does is matter what HTTP server I use?In the process of upgrading from FMS 3.0 on Windows using IIS 5 to FMS 4.0. Will dynamic HTTP Streaming work from a Windows server?

I was looking at the pricings page when i noticed Europe is not listed. Is FMS on EC2 available in Europe at all?http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/amazonwebservices/And if not, which region would be best suited for NW europe? Is the connection good enough for bulk users?This is somewhat important since we focus on europe.Thanks,B.

Hi,I want to create internet radio station with aac to flash streaming.Question is: How I can delivery music aac stream to Flash Media Server?Now I have own software which produce AAC, WMA and MP3 streaming.It's possible to use my AAC stream as a FMS source?

I have recently purchase and insalled FMS4.  I have created several .FLV video files and (.MP4 h264 files for failback for those who would like to view the videos from iOS devices).  I have the .FLV files working great on the streaming player (Longtail) using RTMP.  My player allows for a failback to .MP4 version of the video for 'Progressive Download' and 'Download'.  I understand that HTML5 will not work with RTMP. Is there a way to house these .MP4 files on the FMS and serve them using HTTP from the FMS?  Is there an area within FMS that allows HTTP serving?I read something awhile back about setting up Apache Server HTTP to serve the videos.  Is this feasble or I'm I better off just putting the files on my web server and linking to them there?Can someone give me some advice on best practices when using failback for HTML5 videos in cases where flash in not available?Thanks

My CDN is running FMS, and my customers and I stream a lot of live traffic through it. We've got FMS configured to auto-archive our live streams, but that only works for stream using VP6 video. When I look at the archived files captured from H.264 streams I get audio but no video.Is it possible to get FMS to autoarchive H.264 streams? Or is this planned for a future release of FMS?

Hi,I have the setup the FMG and FMS as instructed in the setup guide. I have registered the FMG to a SIP PBX and i'm able to make calls via the flashphone.html page. But what I would like to know is, is it possible to register on the FMG using Fring for iPhone? I assume that in the conenction settings i would add the username and password from the sip.xml file and the ip address of the server running FMG. is this correct? i have tried using the default 777 account profile but this does not work. maybe i am missing something. any help would be appreciated.

Are the RTMFP connection limits for the FMS AMI hard limits?  What will happen when the limit is reached, will the server just refuse new rtmfp connections?

This is sort of a follow up to my previous post, asking about streaming through FMS to Apple and Android.Android and Blackberry devices require that the audio component of video streams be encoded using AAC. Right now I'm telling my customers to buy the MainConcept AAC plugin, or to buy VidBlaster or Wirecast. Can anyone from Adobe comment on when Adobe might release a version of FMLE that includes AAC?

I need to serve live video streams to Flash players, Apple devices, and Android and Blackberry handhelds. Right now I'm using FMS (actually, the CDN I stream through is running FMS), and configuring Wowza Media Server to suck the Flash stream from FMS and reprocess it for Apple, Android, and Blackberry. It works well, but it's kind oif a PITA having to have a separate server just to handle mobile devices.Is anyone aware of any plans to release a version of FMS that will stream directly to Apple and Android? I saw a video clip on Techtilt of an Adobe presentation at NAB where they were showing live streaming to iPad, but that clip didn't way anything about when we might actually see that version of FMS become available.

Hi,I am developing a flash media encoder. Encoder is sending 'publish' command in 'record' mode to FMS.  But FMS is not giving any response (I am catching responses in wireshark) but creating the related folders in its application directory. So, i assumed that FMS has received the publish command and reay to receive the data. Then i sent some 20 media messages each of soze 500 bytes.  FMS is sending 'onStatus' response for the publish after receiving the 8th media message and writing only contents of media messages from 9th to 20th.  Can any one explain the reason for this FMS's behaviour?

Hi allI am creating conference application in flash cs4.I need to record meeting like adobe connect.How they record meeting?Thanks and RegardsSelvan

Hi guys,I have a small issue here:We are currently deciding what to use: Wowza(not so much, since they are undergoing the lawsuit) or Adobe Flash Media Server. The problem is that I couldn't find any information on how to configure the loadbalancer using FMS. I tested with Wowza and they use built-in loadbalancer but not so for FMS.Forgot to mention that we need it mostly for live events using RTMP protocol.My current configuration has 1 origin server + 2 edge servers(trial developers edition). I can manage to play livestream from the edge--origin servers using egde url. How can I configure the edge server so that when I connect to the origin server it redirects me to the least loaded edge server?I tried to set up the connection limit for the origin server for 2 connections(one for the fmle, one for edge) and connect with 5-10 clients but my origin server didn't redirect the stream to the edge.Any help would be really appreciated since we need to make a decision by this weekend.Thanks.

Hi there,Does anybody knows if it it possible to stream only audio?I'd like to stream video+audio (different qualities : ~1000 kbps and ~400 kbps) and audio only for low-bandwidth (~128 kbps).Adobe Flash Media Encoder Live allows me to stream different qualities. And what about audio-only stream?And of course I don't want just to hide video on client-side.Thanks everyone.

Hi -I'm not necessarily a flash developer at all, but I've been tasked to investigate how to "modify/add/edit" Meta Data information for Live streams.I've read through some of the documentation, but I'm still unclear on where exactly in the overall process that these modifications would happen. For example, I'd like to add fields like "title", "description", etc... to the meta data of a live stream prior to sending it out.Can anyone provide some additional insight on how to achieve this? What is required to be able to modify the information? Where the modification would happen?I'd be happy to take the conversation to email if anyone has direct experience with this too.Thanks,Matt

I am running the amazon AMI ami-6a1deb03 that has fms version 4.0.1.8011However i need to cap the maximum number of connects to the server for a live event.It seems like the <MaxConnections> tag in Vhosts.xml is not enforced due to a bug in 4.0.1; but its known to work on 4.0.2 (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaserver/402/FMS_402_Release_Notes.pdf)Any idea if there's a new AMI available that has the newer release? If not, When will that be available? and can I upgrade the existing server to 4.0.2 ?

Hello everybody,I have a VOD application running fine on FMS 3.5.5 on Ubuntu. But in the past few days I noticed some problems. As per FMS Console it seems all streams are playing fine but when I try to "watch" something, the connection does not seem to complete.So I found the following:admin.00.log2011-06-11      21:19:01        32065   (e)2671287      Admin Command Timeout: (Command (getInstanceStats) timed out.

I tried to put a video on my site http://moviedirect.t15.org/ and it say "cannot connect..... blah"...... What should I do to make it work?

We had an issue today with a new installation of FMS4, where we have developers in the group "fms" which allows them to view logs.   It turns out, FMS is creating logs in mode 0666, but it's also applying those permissions to the *directory* which prevents our model from working.   I added the g+x flag to the directories and it worked.  From Server.xml:                <!-- This key controls who has read/write access to the shared object   -->                <!-- files and stream files in the server. The Mask is used by umask    -->                <!-- to set file creation mask.  By default, the mask is set to 017     -->         

Hello,I am trying to get the "bwcheck" application to work on FMS 4 on Amazon EC2, in order to detect my upload speed to the server and provide the best quality stream for my upload speed.The tutorial I follow is this:http://www.derekentringer.com/blog/flash-media-server-streaming-speed-testing-part-2-detect-upload-download-and-latency-speeds-and-port-connection/orhttp://web.archive.org/web/20080308081519/http://www.peldi.com/blog/archives/2004/01/automatically_c.htmlBoth are almost identical. However when I compile the .fla to .swf (having changed the URL for my server and application), and after I load the server-side code, I get the following error in my server-side log:Method not found (recData)I understand that apparently it is not finding the method, but I tried getting it off the function in the global scope, tried attaching it to the client, etc. but nothing worked. The original code of the server-side script is:for ( i = 0; i < 1000; i++ ) {      da

Hello All,I currently have a problem with captioning on a video file that I am streaming from Flash Media Server. For some reason, the first time the video is viewed, the captioning pauses right around 6 mins. I've verified this happens from multiple computers, from different physical locations and on different networks. The video continues to play, but the pause button on the playbar also looses functionality and the captioning does not progress.I've created a total of 11 videos all using the Flash CC plugin with a custom button for show/hide captions and minimal playbar which only includes the pause button and the mute button. This only happens in this one particular file, but they are all setup the same. From what I can tell, the xml is constructed correctly (TT XML generated by contractor). The code I've written works fine on all the other files. The only thing I can see that's different among the files is possibly the size of the movie I'm streaming. Its the longest. If the viewer

Hi all...Firstly excuse my complete incompent knowledge before hand, I am am pretty amazed I got as far as I did already Now the question...I have developed a videochat application in Actionscript 3, basically, a user registers can broadcast up to 3 various cams and site visitors can view and discuss.What is the procedure of developing the main.asc file for this script? What are the main points that I would have to include for it to function?Again, my apologies but I am still new born in the developing script world.Regards!!

Hi!How can I send some data to ALL peers via p2p-network?I tried using netgroup.post() but not all users recieved this messages.Then I tried to get peers to resend ( via post() ) all the data they have received - this works well, but produces large amounts of additional traffic for all peers (3х-5х and more)Is there a way guaranteed to deliver a message from the server to all peers? (not sending data from a server directly to each peer)Thanks!

I have another pressing question.  I am not a network guy, but I am responsible for getting the FMS going for my school district.  Currently I have the FMS4 working great and the videos are being streamed using RTMP to my Flash Player (LongTail).  This all works great from my computer at work from inside a Firewall.  When I try to access the videos from outside the Firewall, no dice...the player just hangs.  Is there a certain port that I need to open up to enable the videos to play outside a FIrewall?  I read somewhere that I should make sure RTMP port (1935) is opened.  Is there anything I can relay to my IS Network person that will help us see the video content from outside our firewall?Thanks in advance....
