Media Server (read-only)

Hi,The server on which FMS was running crashed due to a power failure. FMS is set to start, and it restarted with the server.Unfortunately it restarted with no applications loaded, including the application, which we need to run continuously.Is there some way to ensure that the server always starts with a particular application loaded? The only way I could find to load it was through the systems console.Thanks in advance,Chris

Hi guys I am a newbie to FMS, got excited about it when I heard that Amazon cloud services are now including FMS for a marginal increase in cost.So all I am looking to do is:1) Record off a web cam and store the video using FMS2) Play the video stream using FMS.If someone could point the way to some sample code, then I will be off an running.Thanks a bunch.

Hi,I would like to check if there is a way to configure Flash Media Server(FMS4) to support media content suffixes used to stream MP3 content, e.g MP3 suffix in uppercase and not just the defualt mp3(lowercase).Thanks.

Hello, I have a problem which is driving me crazy.I simply can not login to the admin server.I'm connecting to the flash admin-frontend which is hosted on the same server which the FMS is running on. The FMS version is 3.0.1 and it's running on RHEL5.I've set the user and password in conf/fms.ini. I have checked that I have permission to connect in conf/Users.xml. Everything seems like it should work, but it just won't let me in and when looking in the logs (logs/admin.00.log) I just get a lot of lines saying "Failed login attempt from..."Apart from this the server works. We are still using it for streaming and we have been able to login to the admin interface before, but it was a long time ago and now it just won't work anymore.Any ideas?

Hi,I have a video chat program in Flash, and the video/audio works well but with some guy, the audio is crap for him. I can hear him well, but when I talk, he hears very weird sounds, and this sound echos, even if I use headphones. The echo isn't really the problem here, but what he hears. It's some kind of "TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-TAK-" sound...Any ideas?Thanks

rtmp connect takes a token. My connect looks like below.connect(server,"123456789");Using fmscheck I am not able to pass token in the query string so that in my connect I can access the token.How would I use fmscheck to pass a token so that my connect so that onConnect will have a token.application.onConnect = function(new_client,token) //  token -> 123456789{}Thanks

application.onPublish = function (client, p_stream){     var myInfo = SharedObject.get(p_stream.name);      myInfo.setProperty("live", true);}I set the sharedobject using code above,now I can publish video,but so is not set(from admin console, "shared object" tab).What can be possible reason for this?

I have installed the Authentication Add-In on a FMS 3.5.5 Development version, running Windows 2008 Server.  I can easily get to the users.exe command prompt and add users with no problem.  BUT, when I open the Flash Media Live Encoder and go to enter a username/password when connecting to the server, I keep getting "User Not Found".  I've went back several times using users.exe and tested for my user credentials and it always states that the user is there.  Can some please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

I have installed Adobe Flash Media Server in Ubuntu.When I run the commandsudo ./fmsmgr server startit says that Server: start command:Server service start not found. ExitingWhen I start adminserver in the same way,the message displayed is :Starting Adobe Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)In the messages, the following is displayed :Server starting...Listener started ( FCSAdminIpcProtocol ) : localhost:11110/v4Listener started ( FCSAdminAdaptor ) : 1111/v4Server started (./conf/Server.xml).Let me know if I am facing any issue because of the OS not being supported.

It's OK on develop machine,but when put on product machine,it's extremely slow...The real time publishing often turns out a static image hanging there...Anyone here has met such issue?

Hello,I got serious issue while using adobe flash media server (I have media server streaming license). It doesn't allow flash clients to make stream's screenshot (with BitmapData.draw) because this is restricted from server side by default. I found that this trouble can be resolved my updating main.asc file but it seems like replacing main.far with mine main.asc causing error. Could you please help me with resolving this issue because it's extremely important  to allow this screens making for user.I used CentOS 5.3 and FMS 4.0.1 r2009 (instaled in /opt/adobe/fms include Apache 2.2). All video is stored in a directory  /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media and I put the main.asc file in the directory /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/ from the directory  /opt/adobe/fms/samples/applications/vod.

I am trying to setup a bandwidth testing app using the native bandwidth detection in Flash Media Interactive Server 3. I have a cable connection which consistently shows around 4500-4800 mbps (5 mbps rated) on Speakeasy.net's speed test. The FMIS bandwidth detection shows anywhere from 500 kbps - 2100 kbps. I bumped the test time up to 15 seconds (from the default 2 seconds), hoping to get more accurate results, but it still way off. Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?

Though I'm sure somebody's asked the question, I did a bunch of searches on this and couldn't find anything definitive.What's the latest on the issue? Is the livepkgr app useful for this?

Hello, I'm looking for solution to inconsistent problem that happen when I'm streaming in live :a. FMLE is disconnect for couple seconds (10 -30), stop encoding and then renew the connection and the encodingb. In the same time, I can see users (streams) are disconnecting/ disappear from the console.As said it can happen once in a session, but this disconnect most of the users and they have to refresh their browserto get the live session again.Currently I'm using FMSS 3.5.4 r210, Linux redhat 5.2,  6 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 16GB.I found a post named "FMS disconnect from FME" (Jun 7, 2010 3:36 PM by BJWP Ltd)but it's not clear to me if it's a known problem and how it can be solved.Thanks,Alon

I have a problem with our FMSI3.5. A few times now we have experienced problems with the administration console/fms webserver. They become unavailable. When someone tries to connect to the administration console or tries to download a file from the FMS webroot the connection fails (times out). Streaming still works when that happens.A FMS restart fixes the problem. Logs say something but can't really see what is wrong.admin.01.log:#Date: 2011-03-24#Fields: date  time    x-pid  x-status        x-ctx  x-comment2011-03-24      05:30:44        25127  (i)2581173      Host: nic-flv01 IPv4: 127.0.1.1 -2011-03-24      05:30:44        25127  (i)2571011      Server starting...      -2011-03-24      05:30:4

Hi GuysWe are new to FMS and have just deployed a FMS 3.5 for a live streaming project.  but I seem to be getting a bit of an issue where the FMLE seems to disconnect and reconect to the FMS several times.  but some times the FMLE seems not to be able to reconect back to the FMS.  I read somewhere that this bug have been fixed with the FMS version 3.5.3 updater.  also I can see the client still connected afoter they drop connection on the admin consoleI dont mind setting up the updater but just want to be sure this would fix the problem as I have live web TV on the FMS.  Also is there a way to update without loosing all the config?Please any help would do guys.FMS running on Windows 2008 server R2,  4mb,  Dual Zeon CPUThanks in AdvanceJim

Hello!Where can I find a list of all the variables used in workflow context condition?Is it possible to carry out string operations on variables? For example if a destNum looks like a 1, the call is briged to profile sipgateway1 with real_phone_number 2 -> sipgateway2 etc

Though I've so far had good luck testing FMS with EC2, cloudfront has been awful.Whether I get an actual connection to a stream is hit or miss. Sometimes it connects. Sometimes it connects with no audio. Sometimes is says it's connected, but then shows me the play button (not playing). Delay is anywhere from 10 - 60 secs.Here are a couple of URLs for example:rtmp://s2yt54mt79nx0r.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp4:seaside3.f4vrtmp://s2yt54mt79nx0r.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp4:seaside2.f4vWondering if I shouldn't buy my own license for VOD, and use EC2 just for live events.

This has been a puzzle for a  number of days now and I have tried virtually all of the suggestions on these forums with respect to Security Sandbox violation Error #2123 (checkPolicyFile; sampleVideoAccess)The problem is not that I want to take an image of anything at all it is that I am exiting a view in Flash Builder 4 mobile application after disconnecting from the incoming stream but I get this errorIt looks like the slideview transition is taking a bitmap image of the "View" before leaving for an alternative "View". I use localSecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: app:/epand1.swf cannot access rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net/{====my developer API code====).

In my server side script for FMS app,there is such code:var lv = new LoadVars();var params = new LoadVars();...lv.send("http://mysite.com/registerVideo.php", params, "POST");The expected behavior is that the request will be as if sent directly from the browser,thus SESSION information is not lost ,which is the exact behavior for my computer.But it's not the case for my boss --- session information is lost for him.Why the server side behavior of LoadVars() not consistent?What do I need to do to make sure session information is not lost @ server side ?
