Media Server (read-only)

we are hopping to develop a text chat by flash sites. can you help us

Hi Folks,I was trying out this sample code from the e-book: 'Learning Flash Media Server 3'. I think I have followed everything, from code to setup, for what was mentioned for this code, yet it's not working. Instead of seeing a 'Text Area', 'Input Text' and a 'Button' I am seeing a blank swf and there are no complier errors or anything. I am not sure what is wrong, I hope someone can advise. I am using FMS 3.5 and the following are the code and instructions for the sample code:Follow these steps to create the application:1. Open a new Flash file (ActionScript 3.0) and save it as TextSO.fla.2. Open the Library panel (press Ctrl+L (Windows) or Command+L (Mac OS)) anddrag a TextArea, InputText, and Button component into the Library. Save the fileagain.3. Open a new ActionScript file and save it as TextSO.as.4. Enter the script in Example 4-3 and resave the file.package{      import fl.controls.TextArea;      import fl.controls.Button;&nbs

Hi All,I am using FMS3 and Flash CS3 (actionscript2) in a Flash based whiteboard application. Multiple users can join this whiteboard. I want to save chat text and drawing in same sequence as live time. I am using persistant remote shared object to save these data. But when i try to replay these data  its not showing in same squence as live .  I am generating unique slot for chat and drawing but still same error occuring . Does some one  help me to sort out this problem ?thanks,With RegardsGanesh

Hi all,I want to limit server recorded netstream length to 10 secs at client side using as3. How can I do that?Thanks in advance-s

I thought by what I have initially read that this was possible, but I am not sure.What we would like to do is create an archive (f4v or mp4) on the FMS 4 server any live stream that is pushed from our endpoints.  Primarily as a backup and if necessary - an editable file within CS4 or CS5.We are at a University and capture lecture powerpoints natively and sometimes need to edit the files.  flv is not enough and we would like to take afvantage of mp4 and the FMS server while we use it for overflow as a recorder.Can anyone clarify if this can be done?Thanks-Brian

I have a website that has a lot of videos.  So, I wanted to use Flash Media Server to stream my videos.  I was wondering if it is more efficient to get another computer and dedicate it for Flash Media Server.  Or is it more efficient to put my website and Flash Media Server on the same computer?

I have a FMS set up and when I do a normal video stream I use an address like rtmp://111.111.111.111/vod/videoSo I want to make it so that I can stream from sub folders in the VOD file likertmp://111.111.111.111/vod/myvideo/videoThis doesnt seem to work.  So what do I need to do so I can make it work? Surely there is a way to do this.  Thanks.

hey i have FMS Installed And after its installed i also Install The Addon Auth to make a username and password so no one else can just start a Stream but after i install it and restart the server it wont work any help the fms does work but the addon doesn't.

Hi,We have been using flash media server with great success. We were wondering if the is any software package which works with the server to provide text chat amongst the user. I would think that there is someone who already built the software for a price.

Hi,We're on the way to buy a 1 CPU license for FMES4  and I'm looking if anyone can provide real world benchmarks. We will use a Intel X5680 CPU with dual Port 10Ge NIC and we're wondering how much concurrent p2p RTMFP Session the server will be able to handle.If a p2p RTMFP Session can not be created we want fallback to another server instance with the cheaper FMIS4 on it, is this the right way to handle this?Thanks,yoo007

Morning, Night to All,I'm getting above error when testing FMS 4 RTMFP simple example taken from here:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetGroup.htmlMy setup is all on local net:my windows laptop hosting FMS4 and simple compiled application from above url via tomcatI'm opening rtmfp session form windows laptop just finemy other linux laptop gets NetConnection.Connect.Failed, when trying to make RTMFP connection to FMSI verified UDP traffic is working in bith directions via nc -u -l -p so UDP is not an issue here.Then what? Where to dig now?Thanks, good day/night to all.

Default install of Flash Media Server 3.5.2 r654 on Windows 2003 Server Sp2. 16 GB of RAM.Just testing with the out of box Flash application, and simple 'hello world' rtmp streaming video app, we see several times a day at seemingly random intervals FMSEdge.exe will jump to 100% and peg the CPU and stay there. Until it is killed, the Flash applications are unresponsive until it is killed.As one would expect, this is a showstopper for any serious use -- has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions for troubleshooting? Keep in mind this is an OOB install.There was a previous thread mentioning a similar issue (ie FMSEdge pegs cpu) coinciding with the virus scan, however no one responded to solve that issue.Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Software: FMS 3.5 interactive licenseOS: Fedora Core 4CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405  @ 2.00GHzRAM: 62GDISK: 8 2T drives with software raid 10APP: Standard VOD appFMS Connections: Max 5.10k   Avg 2.01kBandwidth Out: Max 248M    Avg 85MCPU 100% all the time. Server becomes unresponsive. I have 4 other servers with the same specs with less connections and have the same result. What can I do to bring the load of the server down?? With performance like this I will need 10 servers to serve such a small amount of traffic. I also have 2 servers running Debian 5.0.5 with twice the cpu as the one listed above and it didnt help very much at all.

Hi,I have a server side script, what contains the Client.getStreamLength() function, but since I have to upgrade that from 3.0 to 3.5 the function not works. How get I the stream name from the Client object in FMS 3.5? NetConnection.call not works, because I use FLVPlayback on the client side, and I don't manipulate the Connection's data (I don't send the stream name from client to server)Thank's!

FLVPlayback custom paramsCan anyone please help me with this problem?How do I pass custom parameters to FMS using a FLVPlayback just likeI can with NetConnection.onConnect()?e.g. Normally I pass custom params to FMS like this:netConnection.connect("rtmp://mydomain.com...", param1, param2, ... .etc);How do I pass param1... etc. to FMS if I'm using an FLVPlayback component?Thank you!

Some background:I have a bunch of *.flv media being hosted on Server A (which does not have Adobe Flash Media Server installed).I have another server, Server B, that does have Adobe Flash Media Server installed.I set up a network share on Server B that can access the media files on Server A.  I realize this setup is a bit convoluted, but my company wants to separate the storage from the streaming.What I want to do is use VOD on Server B to stream the files located on Server A.  My take on it is that I will create a *.swf file within Adobe Flash Professional that uses the FLV Playback component.  The source for the media will be something of the form rtmp://<Server A address>/Folder/File.flv. My issue is this: Which files must I change so that streaming will work? I've read a bit and discovered the "Flash Media Server 3.5/conf/fms.ini" file's VOD_DIR variable needs to be changed (and follow a UNC path to the media folder on Server A).  There's also the Applicat

Hi,I already own a video chat website that uses strictly Stratus (RTMFP), as you may already know, the connections between the peers are not always stable, as in people don't always connect to each others.From my past programmer's opinion, it was because of Stratus, he is sure his coding is good.With the release of FMS 4, which includes RTMFP, my plan is to modify my website so it works with FMS 4 Enterprise Edition, which I will be purchasing.I want to combine both RTMP and RTMFP in the connections between the peers.There are also a lot of improvements to come for my website, which is all about Flex/FMS/php/MySQL.If you want to be the first to take part in a project that's going to be very big because of :1. The opportunities that FMS 4 offers us;2. The motivation I have, and that you should have!3. The resources I have to keep growing effectively.So, if you are competent with this type of programming project, please reply and contact meThanks,Dany

Dear allI work with live streaming for a few weeks, using flash.media.Camera and flash.net.NetStream class. I have not found any place where the codec is specified, that is used to encode the live stream.Anyone knows which codec is used and if there is a possiblitiy to use H264 codec for live streaming? I found that live streaming with h.264 codec seems to be possible with the flashmedia encoder (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/). Is this possible with flash player alone?Thanks for your help,Marc

hi !I would like to RePublish Live Stream to a CDN (Level3).this CDN must use FCpublish on Client Side (like FME).my Publisher send stream on FMS3.5 (Server1) and this stream must go to Serveur2 (CDN) with FCPulish.On my local serveur1, i add some code to do that but whitout succes...i can RePublish when i simulate the second Server(2) on my LocalHost BUT withOut the FCPublish Method..(i use the sample from Adobe Flash Media Server "Publishing server 2 server")How can i change this sample to use the FCPublish method to republish the stream to Server2 ?with my tests, i think that my problem is how to receive the "onFCPublish = netstream.publish.start" from the server2 to my server1please, do you have a great and simple sample (like this before) to reStream by FCPublish Method ? thank'sI know how to make it in AS3 on my Flex Client Application but not in the Action Script on the main.ascThank's a lot !!

I see that the new Flash Media Servers were released.  Looking over the information on the product pages, Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is the only available product that supports RTMFP connections?We currently have Flash Media Server 3.5 and our product utilizes RTMP connections, but I've been working with your Stratus Server and RTMFP and have found that the new protocol better fits our needs.  However, the price for Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is beyond our budget.  Is there any possibility that RTMFP support are/will be available in the lower levels of Flash Media Server?  If not, is there any idea on the time frame for the end of Stratus?  Thank you.

We have been having a strange problem with the Flash Media Server 4 (development edition) that I would be very gratefull if anyone could shed any light on.Situation: We set up a dev FMS so that we could test content for clients before pushing it onto a CDN and for evaluating various hardware encoders that claim to support flash..  Everything appears to be working perfectly after the install; all the samples played back perfectly over the localhost.   Furthermore I was able to add  my own items into the VoD folder and view them flawlessly, again on FMS localhost.However when I tried to view them over the network things became more interesting.  When viewed over the network the RTMP seems to 'stall'.  This happens after a varying amount of time from 1 second to 20 seconds into the FLV/F4V file.  HTTP transfer of VoD files seems to be much better buit still seems to 'stall' quite often.  If we bypass the network and connect a client to the Flash Med

Hello All,I am brand new to this and need a very basic push in the right direction.I have FMS 3.5 installed on my server and I am ready to begin testing with it.My website has a page with descriptions of videos and links to those videos.When a link is selected, I want a new page to open and the video to play in the FMS player.I have absolutely no idea how to go about this. I need some meaty information here. I read tom Green's tutorials, and although I found that they were informative, they are also quite general.I have Flash Professional CS4 and I just need to know what the heck to do next.Any and all help will be supremely appreciated.Sincerely,wordman

Hello All,I had FMS 3.5 developer package installed on my server installed about a month ago. I used to be able to go to the /webroot/ page to see the sample RTMP video play and it worked great. Today, I go to view that page and find that it no longer plays. I get "Connection Error. Please preee Play to try again."Pressing the play button does nothing, so I click the RTMP thumbnail and it reloads ony to give me that same error again.I can click the HTTP thumbnail and see the video play just fine. But, I want RTMP and after over an hour on the phone with my managed hosting tech, we can't find anything wrong.Here's the thing: I haven't done anything, I have not changed anything, I have not manipulated the server software whatsoever. It just stopped working and gives me "Connection Error."I checked that port 1935 was open, and it is.UPDATED:When I click on the RTMP thumbnail, after the 'Connection Error' message comes up in the player, the following things happen in my server's error log:
