Media Server (read-only)

Well i created an application called textchat and in its folder I copied the files from liveThese allowedHTMLdomains.txt*  allowedSWFdomains.txt*  main.asc  main.far*Then I tested ap with * in the two allowd files. It works fine.When I change the domain from * to mydomain  and restart then it blocks the application from workingon that domain and any other domain. Am I doing this wrong?I tried putting www.mydomain.com an mydomain.com and neither makes a difference.Basically I want to block all domains except the ones in the list. I don't understand why this isn't working.Any  help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Allow directive in Vhost.xml file and the one in Adapter.xml file? The PDF on FMS says about Allow in Vhost.xml:"This element is a comma-delimited list of domains that are allowed to connect to this virtual host. The default value isall. If the Allow element is left empty, the only connections allowed are those coming from the same domain."While it says the following about Adapter.xml:"A comma-delimited list of host names, domain names, and/or full or partial IP addresses from which clients canconnect to the server."I can't see any difference?I'd guess one specifies domains that hosted SWFs can connect to server from, while the other specifies client-side hosts which can connect to the server.. However it is not clear to me which is which.

Hi i have setup Flash media server and FMG on a local server. configured it as per quick start quide( default settings) . i am able to do sip calls from sample flash phone as well as call from flashphone to flashphone rtmp. Problem is the audio is terrible . When calling through flashphone i set both clients( all in local) to use speex. the audio quality is choppy and has lots of noise....am i missing somthing in the setup ?

I am using  Flash media server 3.5 to stream live video to a webpage with flex GUI embedded in it.For this I have used Adobe flash media server start screen .I could able to stream video correctly.I want to know how long it could be do like this.ie suppose I have to stream like this for 3 or 6 months .If so is there any possibility to crash flash media server software?

I need to stream video frames from a PC to an Internet Server and when a frame arrives at the Server I need to get the frame's content for further processing.Can this be done using Flash Media Server? If not,whom can I contact in the Adobe Company to discuss a customization of the Flash Media Server?

I have a scenario and I'm trying to determine which is the best protocol to use.We have a server running FMS 4.We want 1-50 'admin' client connections to the 'admin' application on the FMSWe want 50-10000 'user' client connections to the 'participant' application on the FMS.The interactions would be limited to 1 admin -> 1 user at a time, however each admin would want to be fully aware of each users current status within our application.Currently I am doing the following:In the admin fms application, on app start I create a proxy connection to the participant fms application which adds a connection callback of 'receiveClientMessage and listen to a SharedObject.When each admin connects to the admin app, I register a callback on the connection of 'sendClientMessage', and the flash client listens to the SharedObject reference that was created on appstart.When a user connects to the participant app on the fms, I add a user entry to the SharedObjectThe admin flash client is notified of t

HelloIn my application i have video player that uses VideoDisplay class of flex sdk 4.5. we implenent swf verifaction. i tried to play videos on  rtmpe several times , and it did'nt play , seemed like   my swf did'tn pass swf verification, during all day i tried to figure out what's wrong, then i tried to compile all flex sdk libraries ( framework_4.5.0.17689.swz, osmf_1.0.0.16316.swz and ex ) into my main file  , instead of  having them as rsl, finaly i succeeded to connect to rtmpe and to play the video. Could you help me please? what should i do? why does'nt it  pass swf vereficiation when the linkage  of flex sdk libraries is default(rsl- swz files). i can't merged them into code, it Weights to much ,800 kb.Thank you In advance !

HI All. I have a customer that is actually developing an streaming solution in RTMP. So far, while trying to stream H264 files to FMS, he has some issues.He defines those issues as:He uses two video streaming services from his encoder (the one he is developing), both using same source and same h264 encoder. One of the streams use flv muxer and one uses mp4 muxer (f4v). He has a component for the RTMP streaming (using librtmp) in order to streaming to the Flash Media Server. There is two main issues: 1. In case of using mp4 mux, we can not send to the FMS b-frames (removed by the encoder, using profile base), If we send b-frames the FMS disconnects the connection. 2. The FMS losses huge amount of memory while streaming back mp4's.Any idea of what kind of data or logs should I monitor? Can someone point me to any related spec in order to know what could go wrong here?Thanks,Chaim

Hi,I'm building a chat app and there are between 100 and 900 users inside. I'm checking if a user is connected to the FMS by pinging it and if the stats['ping_rtt'] is higher that 3 secs i disconnect the user. The problem is that some user are connected but have very high ping like 30 secs or even higher. Does anyone have an idea what can be the reason for the high ping?This is how i check if the user is alive/* * check if the user is alive */ Client.prototype.isAlive = function() {               if (this.ping()) {         var stats = this.getStats();         var timeout_value = 16 * 1000;  // ms.         if (stats)           {                        &nb

I am developing Video Chat over Ip (including audio and text too). But I am unable to get the proper startup material for my desktop application. Please Guide me for the same.

Hi there,  We tried and failed to upgrade FMS 3.5.1 to 3.5.5 on Centos, as per this description:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_InstallingFMS/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed5bf6c6-7ff2.html  Has anyone else done this, and  should it be as simple as that description? Immediately after  installation (prior to any config changes from the default) the logs  seemed to show that the edge process stopped, and there seemed to be  missing log files (edge.00.log for a start). Copying in config changes from the previous installation didn't get us anywhere, ultimately we reverted to the old version.  Any tips much appreciated,Toby

Hi,I know the standard live publishing flow for DVR is:Capture card (Raw video sample)>>>>>> FMLE >>>>>> FMSThe problem is, the capture card output the video sample as raw format, and the FMLE do the encoding job. It increases the load of the CPU.What I am thinking is:Some capture cards do not support DirectShow output filter but it provide a native interface to get the encoded H.264 from the card.The capture card can encode the video into H.264 by the clips on the card and there is no cost on CPUthen if I can publish the encoded H.264 from card to FMS in my program.  that will not increase the CPU load.Capture card (H.264) >>>>>> my App >>>>>>> FMSHow to send the H.264 frames to FMS?Open a video channel then send the H.264 frames one by one?And what client / library should I use?Adobe RTMP SDK, how much does the lisence cost? my project is just a tiny one and we can't pay much on it.Then the only choice is

Hi there,  We have FMS 3.5 running, mostly happily, on Centos. We've had a couple of recent problems, however, and are trying to locate the source. One thing we've noticed is that /var/log/messages periodically features a line containing:Duplicate license key : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxshowing our FMS license key. Does anyone know what's going on here, can we fix it?  Best wishes,Toby

Hi! I have a question regarding the FMS version 4 We are in Polish. Recently we purchased Adobe FMS 4.0 We installed the service on the Centos system. Everything works-we can send a live stream, users can receive. I have a request to all who are familiar with this issue. We would like to prepare for live transmissions of including users of the Internet connection. Order depending on your links, you have the appropriate bitrate. Can anyone help? I do not know too much Action Script-o So I would ask if a simple translation.

HiCan we use same license key for more than one FMS server? If we use one key for other server then what will be the effect on the FMS.Also one more think can we use one license key of one version to other version? For example can we use license key of FMS 3.0 for FMS 3.5.How to upgrade from FMS 2.0.5 to FMS 3.0 and may we know the cost of upgradation?Thanks

I Need to Broadcast 20,000 to 40,000 Live Streams.! (Bitrate : 128Kbps / Viewers Per Stream Apprx-10 Server : Adobe FMS Server Amazon EC2 Instance - Bandwidth Apprx 100mbps)My Question is1. How Many Concurrent connections Possible for one Adobe FMS Server? (Amazon EC2 Instance)2. is this possible to use RTMFP for this process? (20,000 Connections Via Amazon Adobe FMS Server EC2 Instance )3. if Possible Over RTMFP then How Many Developer Keys Need for this Operation. (or) Pricing Details for the Developer Key. (or) Any Separate Key Available For Amazon EC2 Instance?ThanksSarma

Hi there,  The line:Master process not found, or multiple masters  appears in /var/log/messages of a Centos server running FMS 3.5 right around the time Flash videos stop working on a site we built. Oddly, nothing appears in /opt/adobe/fms/logs/master.xx.log at the corresponding time*. Is there likely to be any more illuminating information somewhere on the server, to help us identify what caused Flash to stop working?!  Best wishes,Toby* Although the FMS logs feature this line a lot:Assert failed in /util/TCSysUtil.cpp line 683

Hopefully some kind soul will help with a quick start and save us some time digging it out on our own Subject: Using Flash Media Server and a single PC Server to do Live Streaming (not progressive download pre-recorded)...... as opposed to one of the CDN services...1 - Given an Intel i7 Quad Core PC with 12GB of ram... how many simultanious ~500kbs streams could one expect from the single PC?2 - How much PC horspower must you really have to stream to...25 simultanious viewers?100 simultanious viewers?1,000 simultanious viewers?5,000 ?3 - Does FMS install and run on a Windows 7 Pro machine or must you be running "server" software like IIS?4 - What is the cost of FMSs vs FMS?5 - If you are streaming your own content... not reselling streaming services... what does FMS cost?Thanks for any help!

Hi Does any body know how can we catch streaming from Shoutcast in Flash??? thanks

I want recieve infomation for recorded stream in FMS Server. so, i tried use Admin api(getRecordedStreams or getNetStreams). but, returned below code : NetConnection.Admin.CommandFailed .What is wrong?Below  my code :import flash.net.NetConnection;import flash.net.NetStream; import flash.events.*; var nc:NetConnection; var resp:Responder;function onCallSuccess(resObj):void {   for (var i in resObj) {      trace("NetStream Top Level data:"+i);      trace("NetStream Top Level value:"+resObj);     if (i.toString() == "data") {         for (var j in resObj) {           trace("NetStream Low Level Data:"+j);            trace("NetStream Low Level Value:"+resObj);         }     }  } } function script_ncStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {

Hi,Is there a way to protect the live-application that comes with Flash Media Server 3.5.3 (Streaming server). Atm. we're removing the live application when it's not needed, but this is not an option in the long run (considering the amount of people that will start using this live functionality, and that the users thinks live broadcasting is the greatest thing since sliced bread). How can I set the access to this application? The FMLE-plugin doesn't work on my platform (afaik), and it doesn't prevent people from connecting if they present themself as something other that FMLE. From what I've read, you guys at Adobe are working on this and have been for quite a while and I'd like to know if it's been implemented yet. If not, what are my options at the moment?I'm not too comfortable knowing that anyone who knows the name of the application can connect to it and start broadcasting.

Hi, What can be done in order to achieve high availability and fault tolerance in FMG architecture.What happen when FMG crash (I guess that the on line calls drop) what happen when the FMS crash?Can I do something to have a call online even if one of the servers (in a cluster) fails?We use phone lines in broadcast and we must be fault tolerance.Shlomo.

Since FMS has no options to stream to an ipad of iphone I tried to let FMS stream to a Wowza server by using NetConnection / NetStream classes. It seems to work (not getting any errors in the logs) but nothing happens when I try to read the stream from the Wowza server.I use the H264 and AAC codec in a F4V container.Here are is some code and logging info:Piece of our FMSI app code where I try to stream to Wowza:application.onPublish = function (p_c, p_stream) {         application.publishedStream = p_stream;         application.streamClient = p_c;         nc = new NetConnection();         nc.connect("rtmp://*server url*/*app name*/*app instance name*");         ns = new NetStream(nc);         ns.attach(p_stream);         ns.setBufferTime(3)

HelloI am making a general question since I am a developer and I have no advance experience  on video elaboration. I have to preparare a web application with the purpose to allow video files upload on our company server and then video elaboration by server, on user command. The purpose of the web application is to allow to the user to make some elaboration on video depending on user action launch from the web app:1. (server has to ) convert video in different format(mp4, flv...)2. extact keyframes from video and saves them in jpeg format3.possibility to extract audio from video4.automatic control of quality audio & video (black frames,silences detection)5. change scene detection and keyframe extraction.....This what's my bosses wanted from the web based application (with the server support obviously), and I understand only the first 3 points of this list, the rest for me was arabic....My question is: Which is the best and fastest server side application for this works, that ca

Hello,I have a script that runs fmscheck every 5 minutes against my FMS 3.5 for checking server status. In the past, some of the applications stopped working randomly and this scripts reboots server if it finds that application doesn't work.This has worked flawlessly for almost a year, but recently I started to get alerts showing that script is getting timeouts.This is the log when script timeouts. Timeout is always in the same point, not when publishing / unpublishing, but right after connection:#Version 1.0.0 r15#2011-02-04 17:56:01#Software: Adobe Flash Media Server Check 1.0.0 r15#2011-02-04#Fields: date    time        x-event                             x-sname2011-02-04     17:56:01     Connect          &
