Media Server (read-only)

HiI was using RTMP for server side live stream publish, and there is a disadcantage for RTMP, which based on TCP.The Sliding Window Algorithm in TCP will cause delays for real-time video/audio data transferring after playing for a while.So I am excited to see the RTMFP in latest FMS 4.0, which based on UDP.There are many introduce articles for RTMFP, none of which talks about the server-to-client publishing,I  am wondering if the RTMFP supports publishing live video to multi-clients from the FMS server.If it does, will the clients receive some of the audio/video packages from other clients to reduce the server bandwidth required?Than kyou

I've seen other threads on this and have yet to find a solution (that works for us at least). We are running FMS 3.0.4 and many of our viewers that are in government offices are unable to watch our videos. They see the player but no video stream. Some will see a video stream somewhere between 30 seconds and 2 minutes, but most just see nothing.Here's the kicker, we have a custom designed video player built using AS3 because of the format of our caption text XML files (not compatible with stock component) and extra features like passing variables via flashVars to it. This player works for most people but not all. If I use the stock video component, they can see the video.So, what is in the component that I'm missing? Is there some special code that needs to be added to a custom AS3 video player to get it to work with a proxy server like the component does?

Hi,We are running FMS 4.0 to stream on-demand MBR videos using the OSMF player. We have noticed that occasionally during playback the video freezes, while the audio skips back a few seconds and starts playing. Once the audio catches up, the video unfreezes and resumes normal playback.Any ideas on what might be causing this and how to debug?Thanks.

When i navigate to the html page from the webroot folder  i can view the video ect, when i click the interactive tab i can publish and view the videobut no matter what software or code i use to embed the video  it just wont play.i am right in thinking this is correctrtmp://109.10.xx.94./live/cameraFeed.flvIf i navigate to the live folder  i dont ever see the temp file, Not sure if i should. Many thanks in advance

I am seeing fms utility time during the playback. What could be casuing it to timeout. when size around 179KB it starts to throw this error. Don't know exact size when it throws.

I've seen some situations where my NetStatusEvent handler is not notified correctly, especially when user closes browser or navigates away from my app.Can I listen or otherwise detect NetStatusEvent on the server scripts?For instance, when I do this:_netGroup = new NetGroup(netConnection.getUnderlyingNetConnection(), groupSpec);is there any way for my server side scripts to know when NetStatusEvent NetGroup.Connect.Success is to be dispatched?Thanks in advance.

Hi!I have Flash Media Server 4.Video is and MP4 wrapped H264 at 2Mbps 720x576.Playing the video with VLC player or any other player the quality is fine and very good!Same file streamed from FMS4 (same on 3.5) with rtmp protocol has very poor quality compared to real file quality.Is there some low level configuration to do on Flash Server?Is the streaming server making some kind of transcoding before sending the stream?Or it can be Flash Player? Tried unchecking "hardware acceleration" but nothing changes.I am on a local gigabit network, so no network bottlenecks.Video seems very pixelated on the edges (not soft/antialiased).These are the file details:GeneralComplete name                    : C:\Users\camillo\Desktop\00026C39.mp4Format                           : MP

I can't be the first person with this issue.FMS and IIS are set up with separate IPs on the same server.  Both are configured for port 80 because others, including 1935, are often inaccessible from certain environments.Problem is, the server's behind a router.  Port 80 can only be forwarded to either the IP of FMS or that of IIS.Even if the two were on separate machines, I'd still have to deal with this.  What do I do?

using fms4 rtmp live stream, able to access the page from internal ip computers on home network, can notget through to server from outside world. i believe its something in the hub, ive forwarded the ports 1935,80,111but there is still something not letting it through. in the bottom of my browser i can see that it is trying to get to thecomputer with the server on its like the server isnt listening to outside request, has anyone had this problemand manadged to solve it?its only a basic wifi adsl router but so many things to change not sure what the client needs to get the stream.on theweb page i do get the strobeplayer through and controls but then cannot connect to network error

Good day!I can get which part of file in bytes is loaded using videoDisplay component for RTMP protocol for VOD, I can get the current playing position using videoDisplay.playheadTime. But I want to know how many seconds of video are already loaded (not the length of bufferTime, which remains constant). i used videoDisplay.bytesLoaded when using RTMP it returns nothing , if we uses HTTP it displays number of bytes loadedThe loaded size in bytes is not directly proportional to running time of the video, and while using rtmp im unable to get bytesLoaded too, how i can calculated the Video already loaded.Any help is really appriciated!

Hey,is there a way to define a client side playlist like this:ns.play(      "stream1",      0,      30              );ns.play(      "stream2",      10,    -1, false      );ns.play( "     stream3",      0,      -1, false      );ns.play(      "stream4",      30,    120, false    );but instead of a single videofiles for each playlistentry use dynamic streaming?I know how the DynamicStream class is working and how to set it up but i can't find any information if it is possible to combined those two techniques.Thanks for any suggestions.

I am preparing a multi user chat application using FMS and flash. In which the Users can able to chat with each other based on the selected chat room.For example, my chatroom will be created with below method.My chat application ‘main.asc’ was in FMS application folder  chat/To create a chat room, I will create the application instance by chat/chatroom. For now my chat application is working fine.Now I want to prepare a admin page, the admin can able to see all user chat history and he can also send message to all the chat users, irrespective of chat room. i think the admin should create common application instance.I am not sure how to done this. Any suggestion or guidelines please.

Both NetConnection object and NetStream object has a client property. Can I use the same client for both objects?

Hello, I'm trying to append a live stream to an existing file, but I cant figure out how to open the existing file and then append the live stream. This is server side as well.I know I need to open the existing file using stream = stream.get("file"). but I don't understand how to associate stream with the live stream coming in.PLEASE HELP~!!!

hello using old AS2 code on an fms project.it seems that both server-side NetStream object and client-side NetStream object do not have a totalTime property.my goal is to determine when the flv has completed playing ( has reached the end  visually );so I figured that comparing time to totalTime would work ... but there appears to not be a totalTime.any suggestions.thanks,Shannon

I apologize if this has been asked before.  First, I am a noob to FMS.  I have installed FMS on the server, using the defaults.  Except is Apache, as I already have IIS on my server.If I execute:http://www.mysite.com:1111/admin/ping?auser=admin&apswd=secretpasswordI receive "NetConnection.Call.Success", which is fine.1. Can I use IIS, as this is my webserver, and still run FMS?2. How and where do I place my files to stream?  Can I stream both swf and flv?3. What is the proper url to access swf/flv on FMS server?  Am I supposed to use rtmp?  If so, firefox says rtmp isn't associated with any program.4. Ports are open for 1111 and 1935.  How do I remotely access 1935 via http?Thank you and again apologize for these basic questions.  I've read the lit and still need guidance.

Hi,I found an interesting article:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/ora_learning_fms3.htmlI read the 2 .article, named: "Chapter 5: Two-way audio-video communications"http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashmediaserver/pdfs/ora_learning_fms3_ch05.pdfI have copied the server side code and the client side code out of the  e-book("A Better Two-Way Chat Application"). All the thing i changed in the codes are: -in server side  code: nothing -in client side code:           -original  line:       var rtmpNow:String="rtmp://192.168.0.11/deux";           -changed  line:     var  rtmpNow:String="rtmp://wl78lftffoo.rtmphost.com/kamerarandi";                        &n
