Media Server (read-only)

hi, I developped a video chat application, but I have a big problem, I can't find the setttings for have a least latency as possible, either the video quality is bad or the latency is up than 5 secondes...What should i do?Globals.vars.camW=640;Globals.vars.camH=480;Globals.vars.camFPS=10;cam.setMode(Globals.vars.camW, Globals.vars.camH, Globals.vars.camFPS);cam.setKeyFrameInterval(48);cam.setQuality(getQuality(),0);private function getQuality(e:*= null):Number        {            var value:Number;            if (Globals.vars.appel.appelant == Globals.vars.myUser.Id)            {                //on regle la qualité sur la band passante obtenue dans les tests à laquelle on retire la bande passante utilisé par l'audio

Hi All,While live/recording will the stream closed in fms when I refresh the browser??Thanks in advance.

Hello all,I understand with FMIS that we place our media files inside the _definst_ folder which is located in another folder (for example, one called 'streams') which is located in the applicaitons folder (Path: .../applications/streams/_definst_ )Do I understand correctly that _definst_ can be named with any name as opposed to _definst_?And if this is true, then all I have to do to ensure the video is located is to specify the actual name of the folder (for example: .../applications/streams/motorcycles )?UPDATED:I think I was reading things wrong. In going through Tom Green's tutorial I think I gained more understanding. Please let me know if this is more correct.The _definst_ folder would be located in this path: .../applications/streams/motorcycles/_definst_the thought being that the streams folder contains any number of other folders, /motorcycles, /boats, /cars, whatever, and in each of those folders goes a _definst_ folder into which the appropriate media is placed?I am learning

Hi,I will be migrating hosting companies soon and I'm looking at using a VPS (virtual private server) along with Flash Media Server.  My site has loads of videos on it which currently stream pretty slowly.  If I do use Flash Media Server will there be an increase in streaming speed of the videos? Each video is from 10 - 35 minutes i FLV and F4V format.  Is this what Flash Media Server is mainly used for?Thanks in advance,Ben.

When I am directed to update my Flash Player to: Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing. The site takes me to what says: Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (2.70 MB) . I  have downloaded it at least 20 different times from your site: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. It is downloading Flash Player 9.0 every time.I have concluded that the Newest Flash Player is directing to the old player, possibly 9.0, either way, I still can't view the correct ones.There are many sites that need the new Flash Player. I have contacted you via e-mail and online chat. No one has resolved this issue.With such a big site... I can't believe that this is still happening. Please fix this problem ASAP. There are a lot of people who count on you to help them and aren't getting it.Thank You,Delores Batydmbaty1@hotmail.com

I have setup a FMS (Windows 2008) in my classroom and would like to transfer files via DW to it from home. I'm currently using VPN, but it's too slow and DW freezes often while trying to upload files. My IT guy says he can open port 22 for me once I get the FTP service operating. Is it already installed? I'm using Apache for my web files. Do I need to download FTP software?-Dale

Good morning!I am completely new to Flash server.We seek to create a remote learning environment (distance learning) with complete interactivity.  In particular, a talk can be delivered simultaneouslty to 20 students.  The students can each see all the other students plus the speaker (as in a boarder of faces around the edge of the screen).  Each is free to converse with the class and teacher (unless capability is turned off by teacher).Based upon what I have read Flash Interactive server will perform in a one-to-many mode.  Now, how about the many-to-many as described above?  What sort of requirements would be need to be met both at the server and on the individual laptops/desktops/netbooks?Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,I use FMS 3.5 and i have same problem.....the delay of live video from the studio to clients is big, 10 seconds if i restart the server. After one day of staying on, the delay reaches 1 minute or 2.The FMS is connected to 1 Gibabyte internet fiber, and the stream is VP6, 500kbps video and 128kbps audio, 720x576 resolution. Server Quad 3.0Ghz, 4 Gb Ram.Please help me to minimize the delay. What i must write in application.xml from live folder?????? Is there a command.I don't want to make buffer, i want the clients to receive live stream, if the stream is buffering i want to play it jumping that sequence, to maintain the live aspect,not to delay it if the clients doesn't have a good internet conection.Let's suppose i have 1 FMS, 1 Media Encoder, and 2 computers with flash player on the same Switch ( Local area Network). I've made some tests and the delay i get is minimum 5 seconds.   How can i reduce it????    Ping value to server is 1ms!Please help me!Thank's

Okay, I'm totally new and in the absolute dark here.  I have installed FMS on a server in the TV station in which I work.  I am trying to figure out how to stream video from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder on an outside computer, back into the FMS at our station.  I have no idea what the FMS URL is that I need to plug in to the Flash Media Live Encoder in order to reach the FMS back at our station. Do I need to have something housed on an ftp site?  We have a website and I can put whatever I need to there if that is indeed what I need to do.  Not sure what the heck I'm doing here, but I'd LOVE to figure it out.  I know it's not a lot to go on, buty any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hi everyone,I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well butthe duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.So if you scroll above 11:30, it justs hangs around I tried to convert the video to flv (H.264 codec) using super@ converter which I normally use,It converts but some frames are currupted. I don't know how to fix this problem, totally stuck. I used to have Adobe Flash Media Converter 3.5,which was a great converter, but not anymore ....Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone,What would be some top reasons an FLV will not stream with Flash Media Streaming Serve 3.5?I ran the FLVcheck.exe on the FLV and it passed; however, the FLV will not stream. If I could just get some good reasons that would cause an FLV from streaming I think that will give me a good starting point for troubleshooting.Some background: 1. The FLV was created from numerous .AVIs captured with OnLocation CS4 AVI Type 2 (All Frames.2. I placed these AVIs into a Premier Pro CS5 DV - NTSC Standard 48kHz Sequence.3. I exported the Sequence out to an FLV using the preset FLV - Web - 320x240, 4x3, Project Framerate, 500kbps.4. The FLV itself passed the FLVcheck tool. It's 53:19:02 and plays perfectly in the Adobe Media Player.5. When I try to import the FLV into Flash using the standard FLVPlayback component with the following address structure "rtmpe://192.168.1.1/my_FMS_app_Name/FLV_Name" Flash CS5 does not recognize the FLV, BUT other FLVs are recognized.   &nbsp

Hi!I have a case where I'm displaying 3 videos simultaneously using FMIS 3.5. When one is selected it will play the other two will switch and show a videoloop.What is the proper way to accomlishing this. I actually have 6 videos (3 loops and 3 videos). Do I need a netconnection/netstream/video object for all of them or can they share something. What is the best practice?Thanks for any insights.G

Currently, We are engaging in realtime streaming service with FMS4. However, Comparing with the unreal streaming server, FMS4’s delaying time is bit longer according to the testing results.So, Could you please provide me any setting methods or relevant manual for configuration to minimize the delaying time? Thanks for your support.best regards,

Hi Everyone.As we know the default format for video is H.264 and for audio it's AAC. We want to change the format. Please tell us ow can we change the format of the FLV file at the time of creation?

Hi there. I installed FMS into a linux server with its own flash media encoder authentication add-in. I restarted the fms service. The fms is working fine, i can stream and also visualize the stream on a client. When I connect to fms with fme i'm not asked for username and password. How do I set up users in fms so that the access to it should be restricted? Thanks for your help. Best regards.

Hello!I have two questions about FMS4 behaviour.1.trace() output is limited to 4K symbols. How to output long, very long DEBUG strings?I understand, this limitation is for admin console, but what about log files?All solutions are not so convient like old trace from FMS3:break long strings into chunks(output order is unpredictable), make my own log file etc2. What is the best practice to pass parameters from client into access plugin?In FMS3 I just assign parameters for NetConnection uri parameter: nc.connect("rtmp://ip/vod?coreID=2");Then just extracted them from "s-uri" property during CONNECT event. It was easy Now in FMS4 it is not worked smoothly: I can still get parameters, but FMS started many instancesof application appending parameters to default instance name: e.g. _defInst_coreID=2 and so on.Well, I can assign url parameters in client to the stream name: mp4:videofile.f4v?coreID=2, but howto grab them in the access plugin?Thanks in advance!

Hi,I have FMS 3.5 (Streaming Server) installed, and I am trying to have it render media from locations other than default.Here is my setup.FMS Install Root : E:\FMSMedia Directory (All Media - Live/Streaming/Progressive) : E:\Content\FMSDNS: www.xyz.comAll settings are default but here is how my edited file looks like "E:\FMS\applications\vod\Application.xml'******************************************        <VirtualDirectory>      <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.   -->            <!-- <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> -->            <!-- <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> -->                <Streams>/;E:\Content\FMS\applications\v

Hi,I develop my own file plugin to stream proprietary video file format with FMS 3.5.But, the plug-in is called throuh RTPM protocol and not with HTTP (It is redirect to Apache).I would like to know if it specific to FMS 3.5 and so, now with FMS 4 it is possible to use read access of the file plug-in before HTTP dynamic streaming ?Or maybe did not find the good configuration of the FMS 3.5 to allow plug-in with HTTP video streaming.  Thank you.Nicolas.

I am looking for an automated/command line means of generating .swf files for the media files I have in my application. At any given time there could be hundreds of videos in the directory and the application lets users upload media to the server. I know how to create .fla, .as files etc for one file using CS3, but I am hope there is an easier way to generate these swf files. I am looking at Flex SDK (specifically mxmlc) to write a cron job, but I wanted to see if people use other methods. Thanks in advance

Quoted from here:Sets the camera capture mode to the native mode that best meets the  specified requirements. If the camera does not have a native mode that  matches all the parameters you pass, Flash Player selects a capture mode  that most closely synthesizes the requested  mode. This manipulation may involve cropping the image and dropping  frames.Does it mean that the frames captured is not necessarily the same as required by setMode(width:int, height:int, fps:Number, favorArea:Boolean = true) ? The actual frame captured may be either wider/narrower,higher/lower in size and have higher/lower frequency than required ,is this true?

Hi,I'm using FMS 4.0 64 bitThe way I create new VHost on default adapter:1. Create new directory named for example foo.host.com and copy Application.xml and Vhost.xml from _defaultVHost_ dir.2. Execute startVHost command through http admin interface or Restart Vhost in admin console.New Vhost still does not work untill I Restart the Server (which is not acceptable).I had no problems with startVHost or restartVHost on new vhosts on FMS 2 - I did not have to restart the whole server to make new vhost work.Any help ?thanks
