Media Server (read-only)

Hi,I am new to streaming. Please share your thoughts.I need to take the some stream which is coming from firewire on mac, and then transcode/encode it to perticular bitrates, then stream.I think from firewire to FMLE, its straight forward. How can i stream? How can i give my clients ( say from mobile, or from any player as a http url streaming) stream? Do i need to use Flash media server, if yes can anybody point out the steps to set-up the same.Thanks.

I have been testing a project with no license key(Dev) and last week I purchased a Flash Streaming license but I go into the fms.ini and insert the key and restart FMS but my streams no longer work and the only error I seem to be getting is:     Found Connection Penalty (RTMFP) on core launch, penalty active since time 1294334608.351221I remove the key and restart the service and everything works fine.I even tried reinstalling FMS and provide it the key when it asked in the installer but same issue. Is this error related to an issue with the licensing key? There is no error when I remove the key but can't get support through contacting Adobe by phone. I asked what is the proper way to install the key and they said they would open a ticket and contact me back but its been 2 days not including the weekend, I thought it would be a very simple question for the FMS dept that I was speaking with.The error only shows up once when the service starts.CentOS 5.5FMS 4.0Streami

Hi!I read this article that helped me understanding the basics of FMS communication.There's just one thing I still don't get about the sample app: As a client, you always have to check the checkboxes (send/receive Audio/Video) in order to define who is sending/receiving what kind of stream.How is it possible to manage the feeds from the FMS server?So the clients can't set the checkboxes, but the server determines who is sending and who is receiving?Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I am about to implement Video chat function in my Flash projet, I am using as2.0, and is it possible? I download the sample code from Adobe official website: (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html) I've already installed FMS3.0, but how to get the VideoConferencing sample working? Thanks a lot~~

Is two way video between FMG and SIP video phones possible? To be more specific, I want to transfer video from a flash videophone to a video enabled sip phone.

Can I send/publish MP4/H.264 video (live or record) to FMS from webcam? Another similar question; does Flash (10?) support H.264 encoder?Thanks!

I need some advice integrating our content management system with FMS. We are currently using Oracle's Universal Content Management 10g and FMS 3.5.I am able to get the test video to stream by creating a VOD streaming application in Flash (drag/drop FLVPlayback component and setting the content path to rtmp://serveraddress/vod/TestVideo). However, when I try to incorporate it into UCM the video doesn't load. I have tried checking the .swf skin, .swf video, AC_RunActiveContent .js file, and even the .html file (I have edited the .html file to reflect the new path for the uploaded .swf and .js files) and I still get nothing. I suspect that the .swf video file that creates the connection to the FMS server has something encoded into it that can't be called correctly once it's uploaded to UCM. If this was a traditional website where I could simply drag and drop the files generated by flash into the site's hierarchy, there would be no problem.Any suggestions or advice would be greatly apprec

HiWe have one video application in this application an user can record a video of 30 seconds. Timer is not getting fire after 30 seconds only on one computer on other computers it's getting called except that computer. Frankly speaking we don't know about the computer configuration on which timer is not fired after 30 seconds. Can any body suggest us what's the problem? Where we are lagging?We are considering this is due to older version of flash. Correct us if we are wrong. May be due to browser dont know what's the problem.Thanks in advance.

Aside from the API differences (including the QoS info you can get when using a NetGroup), what are the main differences between using a NetGoup and manually managing a group of peers using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS?  Are there performance differences?  Are there certain situations where I'd want to choose one method over the other?

when I try this :s = Stream.get("foo");s.play("myStream",-1,-1,false,remoteNetConnection);and stop and delete the streams.play(false);delete s;I get this errorSending error message: Response object not found (_error:0).is it a Scope issue ? if yes, I tried all without success.I use this in a compomentthanks

Hey,I have a big issue with FMS 3.0 and specially with netconnections. Sometimes, when one client closes its netconnection, all the other clients of the FMS are also disconnected automatically. I am trying to find an explanation but nothing... It seems to be a bug as, most of the time everything works very well, but sometimes (not often) this strange behaviour happens. I don't know what to do and it's really annoying as it affects the reliability of my application. Please, if you have any idea, enlighten me.Thanks,Ali

Hi All,I have setup, where FMLE encoding pusing a stream to FMS (lets call this fms1) sitting on some other machine. I am able to connect to fms1, and play the stream.Now is it possbile to deploy this setup?FMLE -> FMS 1 -> FMS2 (in India)                        -> FMS3 (in US)and the list grows on, i.e FMS1 will push to FMS2 which is in India, and clients from India will connect to FMS2, clients from US will connect to FMS3.How can i deploy this? Do i need some kind of server side scripting?Do i need to configure FMS1 to push to FMS2?Please share your thoughts.Thanks.

Hi,I am encoding some stream on FMLE, and sending to FMS on different machine.FMS is receiving the stream through " http://localhost" -> INTERACTIVE -> LIve stream play     Parameters are,  SERVER:rtmp://live,   STREAM: livestream.Now how do i take this out? How can i play this stream from outside network ? i.e if i want to play this stream on a external player like VLC Player using http instead of rtmp what are the modification to be done on FMS side?,or with mplayer, or with rtmpdump (this is free utility to play rtmp streams), what is the actual url to be constructed?I have triedhttp://192.168.1.12/live/livestreamrtmp://192.168.1.12/live/livestreamBoth didn't worked. Please reply.Thanks.

Hello,i'd like to record live to a server the audio produced by some kind of drum machine made in flash, is it possible with FMS to record audio which is NOT from a Microphone object but from flash' SoundMixer?

Can any body suggest us from where we can download all flash player 9,8,7,6,5,4?

Hello,I have a dynamic playlist that is populated by XML and I would like to have a "viewed" textfield next to each video showing how many times it has been clicked to play, exactly like YouTube's views.I'm not 100% certain how I want/should tackle this, but I was looking at the File object from FMS and somehow interacting with that or my web server runs ASP 3.5 and I was thinking a hit counter that way. Any tips, ideas, advice on how hard this will be to accomplish would be greatly appreciated!Thanks,Alex

hi all,i'm going to develop a remote desktop project like VNC or RDP. The desktop is captured and encoded as H.264.The code of flex client is very simple: < mx:VideoDisplay x="276" y="114" width="240" height="320" bufferTime="0" autoPlay="true" live="true" source="rtmp://.../livestream"/>But there seems to be above 10 frames buffering at the client side. That means the first I frame does not show until succedent P frames are received.i also test FME+FMS, the framerate was set as 1fps, the live stream also delayed several secondes.

Hey guys,     Got a really big problem here. I keep on getting "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" when I load a .asc file on my main.asc file, i use the method load() in my code. I really don't understand why this happens, but when i comment out the code that loads the asc file, I can successfully connect to fms. I can't figure out what's happening here. Btw, i'm using fms4 in windows 7 32bit.     Any reply is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!Randy

My FMS client is calling a function (simplified) which gets the offset time in milliseconds of an flv file.  According to the docs for creationTime, it should return a Date object containing the time the file was created.  I cannot access any properties of the date object in the server script.For exampleClient.prototype.listFiles = function( folderName ) {       var testFile = new File('/streams/folder/fileName.flv');     trace("creationTime: " + testFile.creationTime);     trace("milliseconds: " + testFile.creationTime.time);     return 'should be milliseconds offset';}prints (to the trace)creationTime: Sat Jan 01 2011 19:00:23 GMT-0300 (SA Eastern Standard Time)milliseconds: undefinedIt does not appear to be possible to access the properties of any Date object.  The following prints nothing:var currentTime = new Date();for (var prop in currentTime)     trace(prop);Am I m

HelloI have some experience with FMS and Red5 development for simple online video publishing application,I am not sure if FMS is viable for my new application, so I am asking here:)Here is the requreiment1.  I need record real-time video to disk file from a 8-way video-capture-card.(the card is supported by FMS)     The recording procedure starts just after the system startup without any manul operation by user.     In another words, I need the recording procedure start with the Windows     automatically withtout interaction2.  If the answer to my first question is YES, then:     If the FMS record videos from a 8-way video-capture-card, with 640pxX480px each way.     What is the minimal requirement on the hardware?     A machine with 2.0GHz CPU with 512MB, is it enough?3.  What is the best practice do you think to organization the 7x24 video record file

When I invoke myfile.list() where myfile is a directory, I get the following: File operation File.position failed. File is in closed state("thefile.flv"). I get the above error in the log output of fms for every file in the directory. I just want the filenames. Does anyone know what is happening here? All I want is a list of all the files in the directory, which I do get in the error output of the server logs. I'm using the developer edition fms 2. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,I notice that, when I pause the video, the event "NetStream.Buffer.Flush" is triggered. And according to the language reference: "Data has finished streaming, and the remaining buffer will be emptied.", I have to re-buffer it, right? However, also according to the reference, it shouldn't stop buffering:Starting with Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player no longer clears the buffer when NetStream.pause() is called. This behavior is called "smart pause". Before Flash Player 9.0.115.0, Flash Player waited for the buffer to fill up before resuming playback, which often caused a delay.I'm using Flash Professional to do the debugging, and the traced version number is: MAC 10,0,22,91, and the streaming server is FMS4.I've been in this bad problem for a long time, but after taking a searching, I didn't see any of the same problems is solved. It's greatly appreciated if you could give any help.Pine

I think this is an IP address issue again.  I'm able to successfully make an incoming call to the flash phone instance, but I cannot receive incoming audio, and after a few seconds the call is ended. I think i just need to figure out how to set the globalAddress for the default profile.Here is a dump of the log for the call:2010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIP 1584 Incoming call-leg 3072b28 was created2010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIP 1584 Received Call msg type : -12010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIPLEG 1584 [LEG ID:0] - **callLegStateChangedEvHandler** State=RVSIP_CALL_LEG_STATE_OFFERING Reason=RVSIP_CALL_LEG_REASON_REMOTE_INVITING Dir=RVSIP_CALL_LEG_DIRECTION_INCOMING2010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIP 1584 Trying to find matching sip profile in Sip Database2010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIP 1584 Trying to find matching sip profile through TO hdr for username : 10002010-12-10::16:56:11.679 DEBUG SIP 1584 Trying to find matching sip profile through FROM hdr for username : 310923856

Hi,During the passes the call does from the dialer to callee there are some routing and it seems that some of the dial numbers are lost.e.g if my number is (1)624-415-9302 and I dial 16244159302 I get as the dial number only 6244159302 without the leading 1.I'm trying to build a conference bridge with the code. But I don't want the user to dial the number then get the audio greeting and then enter the code.Instead I want the present the user a number that is already contains the number and the code - 1624415930212345 where the 12345 are part of the code and not the number.The problem is that the destination number I get in the code contains only part of the dialed number.Is there any way to get the original dialed number or is it lost in the call route?Thank in advance.Shlomo.

Hi,I am writing a game where positions of an object are being exchanged between the two flash clients through a java server. The secnario goes simply like this:PlayerA ---> Server : "Position X + Position Y+\n"Server ---> PlayerB: "Position X + Position Y+\n"and it works both ways of course.the problem here is that on my computer where i use "localhost" everything is fine and the data is exchanged seamlessly .. when I loaded the server on a remote host the message received strangely turns into something like "Position X + NaN" (i.e. the y position is wrongly parsed by the server), what is weird even more, is that sometimes, the message gets parsed correctly..the server is wrote in java and it is exactly the same source code that works on my machine that fails over the internetany help is highly appreciated,
