Media Server (read-only)

I have set up an Amazon AMI FMS instance which is working fine - but is behaving like a development edition.When launching instances of my app from the Administration Console, I can only launch 5 or 6. After this, I see the instance name in the list, but in LiveLog there are no trace statements, and no log file is produced for that instance. It looks to me very much like I just ran out of NetConnections, as each instance needs to create proxy NetConnections to another app on the same server.I ported this app straight from one of my own (Win98) FMS3.0 installations. I'm running the Administration Console remotely from the Win server.I'm pretty used to the conf structure and files, and have checked several times. Maybe there's a new setting in 4.0, or maybe I'm just missing a license key...

Hello everyone,I'm new with Flash Media Server and I was wondering if someone of you guys know where I can fine a very good tutorial to study hard in order to learn how to play with FMS. I'm quite good in actionscript 3 but I miss the server side coding, and some basic theory.Please, someone may suggest me some tutorials? Thanks guys! Alberto

Not talking video here.  Talking interactive apps, like chat.  Ours crashes at about 500 connected users.  When I report this I'm told "make sure you're not creating too many objects serverside" or "increase the JSRuntimeSize setting in your application.xml file to the max". Have now done both of those things but still get this out of memory error.  Let's say I optomized my app and got 100% more connection capacity.  That would be 1,000 connected users - still nowhere near enough.Are my dreams of 6,000 or 10,000 connected users enjoying all of the fruits of the FMS interactivity pipe dreams?  Is it not meant for sessions of that size?  Where does one find documentation or advice or application assistance on this issue?How do large social media applications connect so many people concurrently.Thoughts appreciated.Thanks

Hi, I found this example of a lobby in my flash media server book. But there's a little issue...          var nc:NetConnection;          var rtmpNow:String;          var userName:String;          var users_so:SharedObject;          var connectName:DataProvider;          nc=new NetConnection();          rtmpNow="rtmp://localhost/userlist/roomlist";          nc.addEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);          button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK,addName);          connectName=new DataProvider();    &nbs

Hi guys, I have a total newbie question. I am trying to create a flash player to stream an on online Internet radio station using FMS. I chose FMS after being told that I need RTMP server to extract the metadata. Our radio audio is being encoded using a DJ interface called SAM Broadcaster. But for some reason, it does not have an option to send over the stream directly to a Flash Media Server. Only options are either IceCAST or ShoutCAST. Which leads me to my question. How should i setup the stream? Should it be Stream encoder>> IceCAST/SHOUTCast Server>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client. Or should I setup Stream Encoder>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client? Shouldn't Flash Media Server be an alternative to IceCast or Shoutcast?  If that is the case, how do I send over the stream from SAM Broadcaster directly to Flash Media Server without restreaming through another streaming server? Anyone with SAM Broadcaster experience?Thanks in advance

Hi,Anybody Know how can i get the Adobe RTMP SDK or any other SDK which implement the RTMP protocol.i try to contact adobe at FMSOEMinquiries@adobe.com  (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2994545) but it looks invalid email address ..I will really appreciate if someone can help me.Regards,Ali

Hi, when someone connects to my stream, in the applications tab under LIVE LOG, i have : Accepted Connection from : IPHERE Then i get Sending error message: Method not found (getStreamLength). It does not effect the user, but i would like to know what i need to do to fix that. Thanks!

HiI need Sample Flash phone souce code .thanks

I'm wondering if anybody knows of a guide or a step by step process for configuring a VBrick HS.264 encoder to send video to my FMS for live broadcast.  I'm experiencing issues configuring the Transmitters on the VBrick admin panel and unsure how to have FMS recognize the video stream to publish it. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Has anybody used a VBrick encoder with FMS?Thank you,Gregory Wilson

Hello friendsWe developed one video chat application in which one user can chat communicate with anohter user. Latency is coming on one side in peer to peer connection. Can anyone suggest Is this problem related to configuration settings?Please help us.

I am an absolute FMS newbie.  One of our departments at work just bought a pair of AXIS 216 cameras that they want to put up on their website.  I've quickly determined that their default software which streams MPEG-4 has problems.  It won't display in anything less than IE-8 and it's not always a given that will work.  I have two machines at home with IE-8 and the XP one can't view the stream but the Windows 7 one does.I've done a bit of research and haven't found any instructions out there.  People talk about using the AXIS capture driver and I found the manual here:http://www.axis.com/techsup/software/capture_driver/files/capture_driver_um.pdfIs it possible to install this and stream a signal though FMS?  Would we be happy with the results?  Would we lose audio and the ability to control the camera remotely?Appreciate any and all help.Rick Mason

hello,Is it possible to keep loaded stream before close connection? so that server can save bandwidth when user playback without reload stream.thanks for any suggestion.

Using FMS 4 Enterprise I successfully streamed a .f4v file. Then I re-encoded the file and now the file just buffers endlessly without ever playing. I even returned to the original version of the file that had previously streamed successfully and it will only buffer endlessly as well. What are the conditions that lead to this symptom (endless buffering)? What do I need to do to rectify the situation?

Trying to figure out how garbage collection works on FMIS 3.5 so I have used simplest server side script that looks like this:application.onConnect = function(client){  application.acceptConnection(client);  }application.onDisconnect = function(client){  client = null;}Using test flash client I connected and disconnected 5000 clients, during that time FMSCore.exe went from 15MB to 24MB and after it never goes down, even when I force GC from admin console. Got any idea?

I need a way to set the permissions (ex 0777) for the recorded streams without calling any additionals scripts.Is this possible?

Hi,I'm testing live dynamic streaming with FMLE & FMS 4 & FLVPlayback 2.5 in Flex, and it works, BUT very slow. The connection time and the live delay is too high (30-60 seconds). The bufferTime 3 seconds.This is normally or not?On the FMLE the bitrates 50,300,500 Kbps. My net upload speed 2 MBit and the PC is Core I7 (4core, 8Thread) 1,6, 4GB RAM with WINDOWS 7 64Bit.The FMS 4.0 works on a Blade with 4core, 8GB RAM.Thank's!

Hi,We have an application that is using FMS to  share slides (swf,jpg, etc) with another client. We added a video as an option. We would like to verify as often as possible the bandwidth quality between communications in order to suggest the user to close video if we notice bandwidth is not optimal.We've been experimenting doing a bandwidth detection every 60 seconds, but I am wondering if there are specific guidelines to do this for live video, like how many times one should verify bandwidth? Is it ok to take one reading or should we take a few readings and then average out?Taking into consideration that every time we test bandwidth fms seems to flood the connection to figure out the bandwidth, I was wondering if anyone has some insight into this.Kind regards.+LA

I've successfully set up a media server and a live broadcast today. I embedded the swf file into my website and my friends are able to see my broadcast.But my broadcast is only 10M. And the streaming bit rate is 1700. So once the audience is bigger than 6, the broadcast starts to slow down. I've seen on the website that peer-based networking technology can significantly reduce the bandwidth for a single stream, so that the audience can be expanded.Is there any tutorial describing how to implement this?BTW, is there any free VOD/LIVE template available on the net? I would like to encorporate a vod system on my website.

I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.Help?I have it clicked on my built in iSight.Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!
