Dear All,Pls kindly help me with the following question.I have, say, like 2 video files, each one hour long and are played in loop so thatat 0:00am, video 1 is played,at 1:00am, video 2 is played,at 2:00am, video 1 is played again....When a user visits my site at, like, 0:30am, he should be able to see 30mins timeline of video 1.When a user visits my site at, like, 1:40am, he should be able to see 40mins timeline of video 2.So, to the user, it seems to be a live broadcast, but indeed it's not.Can FMS do that? which version/class do i need? Many thanks!

We can't login to the Admin Console. After we enter credentials and click login.Error message comes up."A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"if we say no, it comes back. If we say yes it aborts script but we never login to admin console.FMS is running fine, it just seems to be the flash movie that can't open. We have set it up to allow each website we are running to have its own application. since we have 1500+ applications running, we think this might be the issue. Can someone let us know if there is a application limit per server running FMS and/or should we take the 1500 websites and have them all share the same application?

Hello,Is there some kind of developer license available that will let me run a Flash Media Server on localhost?We have a licensed copy running on our production server, but I do not want our developers messing around in a live environment.If there is no dev license available, I would greatly appreciate some input on best practices for developing/testing an application that plugs into a Flash Media Server.Thanks for your time!

Can any body suggest us whether two server Red 5 and FMS run on the sme server? If it is?Currently we have two server FMS and Red 5 but not able to record through FMS.

HiHow can we get the browser name and version through which the current streaming is takes place?Please help us.Thanks

I am seeing extremly high CPU usage issues with the FMS 4 server.  It seems to be a problem with the FMS Edge process?  If you start and stop the service, the processor goes back to normal operations.Looking in the Windows Event logs I am seeing these errors: Bad network data; terminating connection : bad chunk version 104 on input stream 00000000077A2E80 Also: Bad network data; terminating connection : (Adaptor: _defaultRoot_, VHost: Unknown, IP: , App: , Protocol: tunnel) : h o s t = % 2 2 % 2 0 % 2 D F O O B A R % 7 C e c h o % 2 0 % 2 2 % 2 0 S h a r e n a m e % 2 2 % 0 A e c h o % 0 A e c h o % 2 0 % 2 2 % 2 0 % 2 0 S o m e S h a r e % 2 0 % 2 0 D i s k % 2 0 % 2 2 % 6 0 i d % 6 0 % 2 0 % 2 3 % 2 2 Can someone shed some light on what might be causing these issues?Running on a virtual server/ Win2k8R2Thanks, Tandrist

Hi Guys...I understand fom the Server Side ActionScript API that the 'application.onConnect' method's parameter settings include a client obect and some optional parameters. It seems to me that for the optional parameters, it has to be a string value. If I were to make a call from from my .as file as follows:nc.connect(rtmpNow,"anchor");and the application.onConnect method is as follows in the .as file:application.onConnect = function(client,nameNow){ client.name=nameNow; //Followed by other lines of code........}the above works fine as in I can do a trace to print the value of nameNow. However If I had send it a string variable (initialized), instead of a string value itself, than all I would get is a null in the trace. The API however dosen't seem to explicitly mention that the optional parameters must be string. I hope someone can advise me if it is at all possible to send as arugment to applicaton.onConnect, non string values,variables. Thanks.(PS:- The server side action script AP

The player that ships with FMS4 seems to be the only player that works for IP Multicast in FMS4.Does anyone know where it's source code lives? I've tried RealEyes and StrobeMedia sample players but those are not working on a MacThe multicastplayer.html lives here:<fms installed directory>\\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\tools\multicast\multicastplayerThis plays on mac and pc fine.thanks

Hello,    I'm trying to debbug my code on Client side (Action Script 3) that works with Flash Media Server 4 on localhost. Everything seems fine up to that point.    However, when I'm trying to test my player with other remote streaming servers, I notice bugs because of lower bandwith transmission between the server and the player.    Is there a simple way to simulate lower bandwith with FMS4 on localhost (by config, application.xml, programmation...) ?ThanksSeb Ethier

I found the article titled 'Capturing live video' quite useful. This article is linked off the FMS start web page - the one that opens immediately after installing.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e-7ff0.html#ach-setscrThe tutorial is better than most that I've found because it has a simple, working example. I was able to enter the code into a frame script in Flash CS5 and I used my own FMS address to connect both to a localhost and a remote server. The sad part was that I found that I got the video and audio to round trip to and from the FMS when compiled (ctrl+enter) in the Flash CS5 program but when I try to publish this to a web page, I get audio but I can't get any video to display - neither eachoing straight from the camera or subscribing from the FMS. I've tried accessing the web page from my local file system and from a webserver. In both cases, I get audio (great news) but not video (bad news). I'm wondering why this mi

Good DayI have a production FMS at www.mydomain.com  at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\conf\_defaultRoot_\_defaultVHost_Also, i created vhost at devfms.mydomain.com at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\conf\_defaultRoot_\devfms.mydomain.comI can connect to the dev vhost from admin panel and i can see all the applications and can start new instances of thembut when i'm try to conncet from flashapplication, it connects to the  _defaultVHost_ instead of devfms.mydomain.comi can see at the access.00.log that it's tryinf to access the  _defaultVHost_FMS 4.0 64 bit on Windows Server 2003Thank You.

so I'm using fiddler to monitor network traffic and I don't see any requests to port 80 while playing back FMS streams. And the same happens even when I block port 1935 inbound. So my question is this, does flash require port 1935 be open on the client machine's firewall inbound. Or can it playback and see live video with DVR functionality simply using outbound requests? If yes, then this is great news because it appears that windows 7 default firewall settings are to allow outbound requests on 1935.But if not is there some tool I can use like fiddler to detect exactly what requests are being sent from the flash player and to which port.

I installed FMS 4 on my notebook and I was able to access the consolewithout trouble. I used localhost for the server address. When I installed it on a remote server (Windows 2008), I can't get in. I tried the same thing. I opened it from the file system (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Flash%20Media%20Server%204/webroot/fms_adminConsole.htm) and I tried localhost but it didn't work. I've tried other valueshttp://localhost:1111/http://localhost:1950/http://ipaddress:1111/http://ipaddress:1950/One problem could be that I installed Apache but there is already a IIS server using the port 80. When I look in the service panel, FMSApache says it is starting but not started.

I have installed FMS 4 on a remote host - Windows 2008. When I install it, I would prefer to install the Apache server and so I did. When I open the initial web page (file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Flash%20Media%20Server%204/webroot/index.html), the flash content loads and the panel says it is streaming from rtmp. Seems good. But when I try to conect to this from another Flash Media Live encoder, rtmp://ip address/live, where ip address is the address of my host, it won't connect (Failur to connect to pimary server).When I try to connect to my server with a browser - http://ip address, it loads a web page but clearly it is loading from from IIS.  So port 80 is being used by IIS even though I chose to install Apache. Web servers aren't a strong suit but I've found Apache usually fairly easy.Now, I had installed FMS on my notebook and I found I could connect without trouble to rtmp://localhost/live with Flash Media Live Encoder. I figured by installing it on the remote host and th

I've worked with XML in AS2, was bad, but i did not complain, in AS3 was perfect, but in server-side FMS is COMPLETLY HORRIBLE i just can't work with it, I'm feeling sick, realy, I feel something in the pit of my stomach, this is not ment to be used. for the first time I can only work with this if someone helps me in a forum:I have a XML like this:<root>     <rooms>          <room>               <name>hello</name>               <id>123</id>          </room>          <room>               <name>normal_room</name>        &nbsp

How can i re-stream one rtmp from server1 to 5 or more FMS servers, and make sure they are always connected if they lose connection for some reason it should keep trying to connect back.Please note i'm not a coder. I need simple example of how i can do this without hiring someone to do so.I couldn't find straight forward documentation on this.Please help.

Hi All,I am encoding a stream from a STB, through canopus -> mac mini setup, and streaming it to FMS.During the playback of the stream, stream stucks a lot. While from the overview , it looks like time stamp issue.The player i am using to play is rtmpdumpRTMPDump says , it is getting , null audio packet, wrong time stamps etc. Because of that stream stucks a lot.Do i need to change any encoder (FMLE) settings?Current settings are,Video - H264 Main Profile @ 2.1 @ 220 kbps, 24 fps.Audio - AAC @ 64 kbps.Also i am getting  "System Time" every 2 seconds (why is this?).Any settings on the FMS need to done?Please share your thought.Thanks.

HiI am working on streaming TV channels on LAN. I found the following use case for Flash Media serverSatellite  ---> DVB-S(catching the sattelite signals) --->  video capture card (convert signal in raw format) ---> FMLE (Encode signals) ---> FMSa) My first question is that whether I can give MPEG-2 TS stream directly to FMS.b) Secondly, what's the difference in use case when I use Wowza server. Can we give Wowza the MPEG-2TS stream directly.Which one is better option for carrying out the task.Any help will be highly appreciated.Regards

Hi,I just installed tow Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 4's and I want to receive Microsoft Media Service stream in my first server and forward or stream it to server 2.So server 1 will receive MMS stream then broadcast it to server 2 over WAN and it will act as stream server over LAN also.Is it applicable or not, if yes could you please provide me with good manual because it's difficult to configure it with web based console.BR

We purchased FMIS and we are encoding large 15+ hour MP4 recordings using flash media encoder. When opening these large files for playback, which have not been opened recently  the player displays the loading indicator for up to 4 minutes! Once it has apparently been cached on the server it opens immediately from any browser even after clearing local browser cache. So a few questions for the experts1. Why is it taking so long to load the file. Is it because the MP4 metadata is in the wrong format and the file is so huge? I read somewhere that Media Encoder records with incorrect MP4 metadata is that still the case?2. Once its cached on the server, exactly how much of it is cached. Some of these files are larger than 500mb.3. What fms settings do you suggest I change. FMIS is running on windows server R2 64 bit, but FMIS itself is 32 bit. We have not upgraded to the 64 bit version. We have 8GB of ram. Is it OK to set FMS cache to 3GB. And would that only have enough room for 3-4 la

hello,i do noticed that any user who have the ip adress of my FMS can do connect and stream to the server although there is no user for him and the server listens to the stream already and it appears in the active streamshow can i prevent that and only allow autherized users by my to connect to FMS and prevent all other from using it ?

Hey everybody,Let me describe what I am trying to do:There are some recorded flv files. The guy in the video is showing numbers with his hands. (1.flv, 2.flv, 3.flv etc) And there are live idle videos. In these idle videos the guy doesnt do anything.I need to be able to click 1 as the operator and viewers should see the guy make "1" in the video. Actually I have accomplished so far. It works. I do this:If the operator selects a video it adds the video to playlist:   stream.play(filename, -2, -1, false);Also have this event handler to play a random idle video when there are no more action videos lined up:function onStreamStatus(obj) {    if (obj.code != "NetStream.Play.Stop") return;    switch (obj.code) {        case "NetStream.Play.Stop":            playRandomIdleVideo(this.name);            break;&nbsp
