Media Server (read-only)

Hi to all, We have recently created a CHAT application (AS3 + FMS3.5). It's a LIVE Video/Audio/Chat application. We would appreciate some help on a bug that we don't seem able to identify. A lot of our members experience huge latency in message delivery. Seems like the Audio and Video take priority over messages. For exemple, we see a member publishing audio and video (ex: 2-3 frame per sec) and when he broadcast a simple message of few words, the latency sometimes goes to the roof (10 000 to 30 000 ms). We have been looking on the client application side but we think it might be coming from the server. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Sanjay

I have successfully set up a media server and used media encoder to stream my desktop to the server. Then I used Flash CS5 to create a actionscript, adding the source url and published the swf, skin and html files. This swf/html can work locally with skin without problem.Then I uploaded these 3 files to my apache server. After that I try embedding the streaming video into a forum post. I used the forum's BBcode [flash] to insert the swf file with full path into the post.Though the video can be played, but there is no skin.The forum also supports html code. What codes to I need to embed the video with functional skin?Best regards,

For some reason connecting to Flash Media Server 3.5 takes around 40 seconds. The server is running on Windows Server 2008 (64-bit edition) on a virtual server located in a reliable hosting center and I'm connecting to it over the internet. The server is using built-in Windows Firewall with all the inbound TCP ports required by Flash Media Server opened (80, 1935 and 1111). If I disable the server's firewall the connection time drops to 20 seconds, but it's still pretty damn long time just for establishing connection. We probably have some company firewall at this end (the client side), but other streaming media services works just fine over this connection.Any suggestions? I was under the impression that the connection should be practically instant (practically meaning that the user shouldn't have to wait for it).

I'm going to broadcast a esports tournamet on our website. And I want to add my partner's logo onto the corner of the streaming video. How can I achieve this?Also, how can I make the streaming flash player display an offline image when the streaming is offline?

Does anyone know if support for live http streaming to iphones, ipads etc. is going to be available in the near future with Adobe FMS? We have a need to deliver to these devices and I guess Wowza is one option to do it but since we are already paying for a streaming software with Adobe FMS it would be nice if we could use the same to deliver live streams and such to all mobile devices. Is there any way to do it currently without using another streaming software in addition to FMS? Thanks.

I used the default installation of the Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 with Apache.Using Internet Explorer on the installed server, I can access the web server, using localhost, IP address and the domain name.I am unable to access the Apache web server from Internet Explorer from computers other than the installed server.  As a simple test, I can not browse to the index.html file in the root of the Apache web server.Have a missed updating a configuration file on the Apache web server?Any help is apprecaited. ..

We just recently purchased a second copy of Media Server, and will be getting the 4.0 version.  We are not yet readu to deploy 4.0 in production, where we are using 3.5.  Can I use the 4.0 code to install a 3.5 version until we upgrade all to 4.0?_mike

Greetings.I just set up a new copy of the official Adobe Amazon Machine Image for FMS4.  It works great.  One show stopper: it seems to require a license key in fms.ini, just like any other FMS4 install.  The master log file has "invalid license key" in it. We tried giving it the "Activation key" -- no dice.  There's a license directory in /opt/adobe/fms with 3 .bin files.  We tried entering the path to that directory for the license key, but no dice.  The docs don't say anything about it.So far today, I've spent over 3 hours being transferred around Adobe and listening to elevator music.  I still don't have an answer, and no one has stepped up to the plate and offered to get back to me.  At the moment, our testing process is on hold.  Would someone at Adobe please answer how we activate this product?  Barring that, could you please provide an Adobe support contact that has at least heard of the Amazon AMI product? Thanks,Paul

- Is there a benefit to hosting FLV files on a Flash Media Server when they are under 2-3 minutes?I've been working on a couple different video projects as of late... some are simple web player with 30 second ads and others are working with longer videos like 2-3 minutes. I currently have an FLV hosting provider running Flash Media Server but with videos so small don't they download for the user as progressive anyway and there is no real benefit whether I am using my FLV host or my traditional web host?Also in a related, yet unrelated question... I also use a separate video hosting company to handle my mobile videos mainly because I am a bit naive on how that works as well. I had a project with straight links to play video on mobile phones (with three different version served up based on OS). But it seems like most of those were progressive downloads as well.So what gives?

Hi, I have setup Edge-Origin and its working fine(3 edges and 1 Origin).I wanted to test how much load the edges/origin can handle. Are there anysuch tools for that ?The applications are Whiteboard and AV Live Chat.I am using FMIS 4.0ThanksKarthik.

Hello,I try to start a FLV (created with soundbooth cs5) at a certain point of time using ns.play('video', 33000) or even just ns.seek(33000);The FLV is about 9 hours long.How do I make this work ? And why is it not working?

Hello all,I own FMIS 3.5. I had it installed on a VPS earlier this year and it worked fine. I later uninstalled it and moved to a NEW VPS with the same hosting comoany (Lunar Pages). Again, it worked fine.NOW...They are telling me that because FMIS is listening on port 80 (when I installed FMIS, I left the port settings as recommended, 1935,80 and 1111 for the admin) that it is shutting down Apache. For what it's worth, I did not install Apache when I installed FMIs on my NEW VPS because I figured I didn't need it as I was installing to a server.The conflicting application is fmsedge which is running on port 80. Can ANYONE recommend an alternate port for fmsedge?I am completely at a standstill with this, all my sites are down. The host tells me that Apache needs to run on port 80.I am developing several websites that will use FMIS for RTMP streaming.The worst part is that this worked before and suddenly is causing a problemPLEASE help if you can. I am stuck.Thank you in advance for you

Does anyone know when FMS 4 will be supported on Red Hat 6? Looks like it is currently supported on Red Hat 5.2Thanks

Hi All,I've some queries regarding FMS1. Can we completely remove latency issue when we use FMS or we can't remove the latency even 1 or 2 sec while using FMS. If the answer is yes the what is the alternative? 2. Is Peer-to-Peer possible with FMS?Thanks,Sanjay

Hi!Server conf:2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           L5410  @ 2.33GHz16Gb RAM2 Gbit ethernet channelOS - Linux CentOS 5.5 x86_64FMS4 InteractiveLive stream parameters:320х240 qua_=87 bw_=200000 kf_=5 fps_=18So, after approximately 600 connections to one stream video becomes choppy (periodically freeze, slow motions). CPU-usage at this time is 100-120% (maximum is 800%, 100% per each core), network usage is 500 Mbit/sec.But second live stream(with few connections) at this server looks fine simultaneously with 600 connections at first stream.Experiments with recommendation in "Configuring performance features" documentation chapter(enabling/disabling  aggregate messages and configure the size of stream chunks) do not help.Please, help me to find bottleneck!Thanks for answers.Apologisw my english.

I have a question regarding which version of Flash Media Server will best serve the project I am currently working on and whether the approach I have in mind is possible with FMS.The project envolves Flash Media Server syncing a dynamic background across multiple Flash Players running on separate computers on the same local network. One approach is to have FMS handle the variables and calculation on its side and communicate this to the other Flash Players (this I understand can be done with the Streaming Server).The second approach is to have FMS execute ActionScript on its own side to create the dynamic background and then serve this out as a video stream to the other computers. (With this approach FMS can completely takeover the processing required to generate the background content and the other computers only need to play it back as video. Is this type of approach possible with FMS and, if yes, with which version.If I am unclear about any part of my question, please feel free to as
