Media Server (read-only)

Hi all, We have a 6 server load balanced streaming cluster, with one origin, one failover origin and 4 edge playout servers (for live streaming). We have recently noticed that the stream from origin to edge is sent once for each request, instead of once per stream. This is because we are adding a unique parameter on each stream, for statistic use. We do believe that this started when upgrading to version 3.5. The parameter was used before the upgrade, but the old version didn't handle it in the same way.Any ideas on how to get around this issue? Regards,

I was wondering if any one could clarify something with IP multicast. From what I understand to get IP multicast to work the server needs to publish to the router box. So how can this be achieved if the FMS server is not in the same network as the router box? Would it require a second FMS server to be placed in the same network as the router box that connects to the main FMS server? I would highly appreciate any help.

Hi,       I was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications.Can someone please provide any material / pointer about setting up Multiple Origin clustering. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'.     I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. Can someone what does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins?   What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do ?   In the attached Origin Only Architecture,  what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do ?   I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also?   Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV ? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools

My webserver is running, and I want to use rtmpt(80 port) to player a video. So I did as same as:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS02f7d8d4857b167770a4686812a808b6918-8000.htmlIf you want Flash Media Server and your web server to share a port, set up Flash Media Server as the proxy, put your web server on an unused port, and change the  fms.ini HTTPPROXY_HOST setting to point to that port. httpd.confListen *:8080

LoadVars in flash media server 4 gives me HttpStatus 0. The same call in flash media server 3.5.1 works. Not sure what has changed in FSM 4 javascript engine related to encoding.SessionID=9f2bc0eb%2d7d5d%2d42cf%2d9425%2db8211ee2b57e&filename=testfile%2eflv&contenttype=video%2fx%2dflv Any pointers would be helpful.

Hey guys,I am recording a video and while recording I issue some NetStream.send("doSomething", params) commands from client side. When I am playing back this video I receive the doSomething events on client side. No problems so far.Question is:  Can I receive those events on server side? I want to handle those events on server side. Not client side.Any ideas?

Hi, everyone! I have a problem when I call a client side mothed from server side. Below is the code. When the swf is connected to FMS(the connection is successful) I use this application.user_so.send("enterContestGroup"); to call the client side mothed. You can see that in the client side I have defined the "enterContestGroup" mothed. However the fact is it doesn't call that mothed. Can anybody tell me what the error is?Thank you for any help!This is the server  side code:application.onAppStart = function(){    application.user_so = SharedObject.get("user_so", false);    application.nextId = 0;}application.onConnect = function(newClient){    application.acceptConnection(newClient);    application.user_so.send("enterContestGroup");}This is the client side code:var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();var url:String = "rtmp://localhost:1935/testapp";var user_so:SharedObject = new SharedObject();nc.connect(url);nc.onStatus

Hi All,Thanks for beautiful answers and comments from you whenever I got stuck.This time I have a question about reconnection handling in poor network bandwidth situation.According to FMS 3.5 documents, I can reconnect the stream by making new NetConnection, attach and play2() using FMS 3.5/ FP 10.1.What about NetStream.publish? I tried to ns.attach and then ns.publish() , but FMS disconnects the new nc somehow.Do I have to close the stream and make again for republishing?Please give me any advices.Thanks!

I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server.The problem i have now is, i can't able to connect to Flash Media Server. The FMS url is as default: rtmp://localhost/live.Do i have to purchase a FMS url? How do i make sure that my FMS is running/ activated?Your information would help me a lot. Thank you!

I am developing an application and my requirement is make a conference through a meetingID and  this meetingID  will come from .NET end. this is working fine with FMS 3.5.3 " rtmp " and now I am coverting this application into FMS4 " rtmfp ".I don't have any idea about FMS4, so please will  more benificial for me.Thankssushil

When I record a live stream at FMS, one in which I've injected  metadata in my main.asc file, the archived file plays back fine.  The  metadata plays back too.  I'm able to retreive it just fine - if I  encode VP6. If I encode h.264 the file plays back but  the metadata does not.  The fact that the archived file is created and  plays back tells me things are wired correctly.  The only thing I  changed is the format.According to FMS docs (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35)..."The recording format is determined by the filename you pass to the Stream.get()method."So my record code looks like the following:application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {     trace("onPublish");     s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");     if(s){       

Our FMS 3.5 is holding on the NetConnections for months at a time.  There are times where we will have over 1,000 connections and only 100 active.  Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,Trying to use Flash Media Streaming Server for a long week on a Windows Server 2003, I am now totally desperate !All is actually OK with the installation of FMS.I learned how to put a video to make a vod, how to create an instance, but the major problem is that I can't read my VOD on my website :sVideos are runing on windows server, I take the embed code (above the player), i put it on my web site (which is not on the same server but another one), but the video refuse to play on it.I am doubting about a lots of point, for example, do I have to let the server in LocalHost or put the windows server IP adress ?I am actually runing a Windows Media Service on this server, and all is working great on port 8080.I really don't know what to do to let us enjoy FMS.If someone can help me, It will be very nice.... !

HelloWe are using Flash media server 3.5 with Windows. We have deconnection problems with visitors using Microsoft Internet  Explorer (to be fully confirmed but we are nearly 100% sure) and in chat  rooms; there they wait for their turn to speak to an online consultant,  sometimes this waiting list can be 10 to 15 strong. Normally, when a client is automatically disconnected from a session,  whatever the reason it is the ‘onDisconnect’ which is called up. Sometimes and with MS Internet Explorer this is not the case : the  visitor or user is not anymore present in the chat room, he has quit or  he got his interview with the consultant but ‘onDisconnect’ is not  launched. This causes unexpected problems like one or several people in the  waiting list being kicked out of the ‘room all of a sudden without  explanation for the user.Normally our consultants are on the air for one hour; after this time  frame another consultant comes into the

Pretty much like:rtp://myserver.com/path/to/streamSo that one day it can be played directly by html5's video tag:<video src="rtp://myserver.com/path/to/stream">    Your browser does not support the VIDEO tag and/or RTP streams.</video>Does FMS support this kind of url?

Anyone, where is the source code for the multicastplayer sample that is located in<installed directory>\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\tools\multicast\multicastplayer directory? The StrobeMediaPlayer does not use the same html code and does not playback a rtmfp multicast stream.This is the code used in the multicast sample player to pass the manifest.f4m file into the player to playback a Multicast Stream which is not used in the StrobeMedia player sample.var flashvars = {};            <!-- Add manifest file location e.g. flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m"; -->            flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m";            <!-- Enable debugging -->            <!-- flashvars.debug = "true"; -->          &

How to apply this kind of logic inside FMS?

I just tried to call from a Flash Client to a phone using a SIP account. It worked well!"FMG enables two way audio calls between Flash clients and PSTN/Mobile  phones. All you needs is a SIP account with a SIP service provider or on  an in-premise SIP capable PBX."Does that mean that there is also a possibility to call a Flash client from a phone (for example by calling the number of a SIP account from a PSTN phone)?

Hi,I'm now using the LCCS account in my application to create p2p audio/video connections and screen sharing. Audio/video streaming is working well. However screen sharing uses RTMP protocol which means that all the data goes through the server. Due to network speed (and big distance from user1 -> LCCS server -> user2) screen sharing isn't very enjoyable and efficient because of delays. Now I wonder how to implement my own Flash Server, that users can authenticate to, publish p2p streams, and share their screens via my private server. I Assume that I need Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise (Am I wrong? Maybe some lower version applies), but what next. I completely don't know how to bite it. How to implement connecting/authenticating/routing/making connections to my own server?Best RegardsPeter.

Hi,I am stuck on one random issue that I really need your help.I got a bunch of live stream from FMLE, say: "FMLE_channel1", "FMLE_channel2", "FMLE_channel3". And then on the server side, I created several corresponding republished stream called "channel1", "channel2", "channel3".On periodical basis, we call Stream.get("channel1").play("FMLE_channel1", -1, 10, true) every 10 seconds. Similar things were done on the second channel & third channel.Soon after the above Stream.get("channel1").play() call, I should get the following events in sequence:info :NetStream.Unpublish.Successinfo :NetStream.Publish.Startinfo :NetStream.Play.Resetinfo :NetStream.Play.StartIn the above case all are happy. Clients can view channel1, channel2, channel3 well.But then after a while, one of the three channels, in most case it would be channel1, will not be viewable. With the server trace info, I found that after the Stream.get("channel1").play() call, only the following two events exists:info :NetStre

I have Flash Media Server installed on Windows Server 2007.I configured the Flash Media Server service to Automatic (Delayed Start), using a network logon instead of the local system account.  In case you are curious, I use the network logon for the service because  I need Flash Media Server to be able to access media stored on a  network share.My problem is that, despite the Automatic start, the service does not seem to start automatically. Also, if I log out of that network account, the service seems to stop.Any insights as to what I can do to make sure that Flash Media Server will always start, as well as keep it running even if no accounts are logged in?

I've run into one roadblock after another with Cirrus (Stratus) - basically, even the Adobe Videophone example refuses to work in the 'real world' where there's a mix of NAT and firewall configurations outside the developer's control. (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1064983#1064983 and thread at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/736422?tstart=0)My question is whether Flash Media Server 4 has the same sort of issues? We don't want to pay up to install and run our own FMS only to discover that we won't be able to provide a P2P service to our end users because they're scattered around the Internet with a mix of mobile devices and computers lying behind NAT and firewall devices that we can't predict.
