Media Server (read-only)

We installed FMS on a new server - a cloud environment - and set the fms.ini for the correct dedicated IP but we're unable to see the start screen or access any videos. Any idea if there's somewhere else where the IP would need to be added to point to the wwwroot directory? The admin can connect(or it didn't state it couldn't) so that's a little sign - just need to get it running.

Hi there,I'd made a default instalation of an FMS v3.0 (the only one that I have an old license for it) and I'm having troubles to get RTMPe working. The symptoms:- I have NO problem with RTMP, it work's perfect.- If I setup a videoplayer and try to play a rtmpe stream, it works if the swf runs on the standalone player or on the Flash IDE (I see the video!), BUT if the videoplayer is loaded inside a browser (remote or local html), it doesn't play.- The event fired then is "NetConnection.Connect.Failed"- SWFVerification is disabled, as it's a default installation- The default port (1935) is openeed, I'm able to telnet it, and it's used by rtmp- When I try to reach the rtmpe stream, I can't see this attempt in the logs- The "crypt-libs" are found:        libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb7f30000)        libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb7f2a000)        libplds4.so =&gt

Hello,Im new to FMS and other Flash technology and I am trying to see whether FMS meets our requirements at my workplace. The following are questions I have had trouble finding answers to on the web, I would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable on the subject could help me find answers to the following:-Is it possible to interface adobe Flash media server or adobe Flash with a analog signal capture card or other digital video capture cards?-Given an ideal environment on a 10gig network it be possible for a client to receive video with a latency under 200m/s?-Does FMS allow developer to create custom interface controls to manipulated video playback? Same for creating a recording feature on the server side for live video?Thank you for the help.

Hi all,        I have made a sample application for publishing video through FMS using as3.     In that I had used the same code as given in the sample provided by the adobe,     m_nc = new NetConnection("rtmpt://localhost:1935/Test");     private function onNetStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void  {     switch (event.info.code)    {    case "NetConnection.Connect.Success" :     m_ns = new NetStream(m_nc);          m_nsPlayer = new NetStream(m_nc);     m_nc.call("checkBandwidth", null);       var camName:String = setCamera();      if(camName == "null")      {         trace("Sorry! No Camera found");         break;&n

Is it possible with the Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 to only allow a specific IP range to the archived video stored on the server.However allow the live feed full access to the server, so bascially in the end have the archived video locked down to a specific allowed IP range and the live feed available to the public?What would the Interactive server have as far as advantages to the Flash Media Streaming Server in this regards?thanks

Hi Guys,I am facing a strange issue with a pair of FMIS servers set up with Multipoint Publishing.Configuration is as follows:Encoder >>>> FMIS1 >>>> FMIS2When freshly started, I am able to view live streams from both servers, however, periodically, FMIS2 unpublishes the streams as seen in the log below.When this happens lives streams are accessible from FMIS1 but not FMIS2. In order to resume live streams on FMIS2, FMIS1 must be restarted.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Logs:2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 NGA_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 FTV_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 BBCWN_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 CTI_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 CNN_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 NGA_2 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 BBCWN_2 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14:31:00 9244 (s)2641173 NGC_1 is unpublishing -2010-09-01 14

we need to know if it is possible to perform sort of an RTMP tunneling or proxyingwhere the client connects to an FMS server requesting a certain VODitem?instead of an FMS server accessing its file system to find the file,we would like this server to make another RTMP call to aremote server which will retrieve the requested mediafile and deliver to the requesting server, which in turnwill stream it to the flash client connected to it.an alternative approach:we've tried using RTMP dump for php to access theremote server and we managed to establish client connectivity,but it seems very limited (for example no seeking / communicationwith the RTMP provider) and doesn't look the very stable.any ideas how to accomplish it?ps. the reason for the issue emerging is having access to third party RTMP providersvia advertising agencies, which strictly do not allow any changesto their FMS configurations/security - so we have to be creativehow to extract their content and provide it to our own custom

Hi,I have a Flex / FMS application for live streaming. Is there a way to consume those live streams on an iPad. I basicaly want to create a iPad version of my Flex application.Any ideas?

Build video player flash 10 and connect normally and attach stream via ActionScript 3. Video plays normally but the stream ends 3 seconds before the known end of the video. If the flv is loaded locally it runs to completion. The player only looses the last 3 seconds when streamed from our fms 3.5. This did not happen till we upgraded from 3.0 to 3.5 No errors are reported and all indications are that the video ended normally,however we see the metadata length coincides with our know information on length, and the video stream terminates without error 3 seconds before it is supposed to. This happens on all videos.

Hi,I'm creating a Flex application that enables users to communicate in a kind of video chat room. I only allow to live streams at any given moment.I'm using FMS to record the videos in FLVs.What I need to do is post process those videos and create a single video with all that happened in the video room. That means that I need to combine 2 videos, reduce the size of one of them so it appears over the other one. In other words one video will use the whole space an the other will appear at the upper left corner (over the other video,).I need a server side solution for this. I created another post here and someone suggest a screen capture solution. That would work perfectly, but since this appliction will be used for several people and any time, I want the process to be automaticaly not manual.So, I'm thinking I can do it with FFMPEG, but I need a way to identify in which order I need to compose the videos. Something like adding a time stamp to each FLV in FMS (when they are recorded). Ho

Hi,I'm using the following code to record a live stream (server side code):application.onPublish = function (p_c, p_stream){ trace("onPublish stream: "+p_stream.name); p_stream.record();};I have two questions:1) can I change the name of the FLV I am recording at the serve side? For example, if the stream is Stream_A, and I want to create a StreamFile.Flv.2) How can I add a timestamp to the metadata of the video when the onPublish function is called? I need to do it at the server side of my application.Thanks

I am trying to configure and learn as much as I can about FMS 3.5 and Flash Video. Anyone now of documentation or a book? thanks.

Hello all-Here is a tricky one that has me stumped (I'm no expert so this shouldn't be surprising!)I have a dynamic variable that gets picked up depending upon which computer is being used and then I turn that variable into a Flashvar to pass into my swf to start loading the video. (Think of this as a different type of username that gets picked up without the client even knowing.)I have a link that gets clicked and brings you to the swf in a lightbox-like window which loads just fine but only when I define the variable in the querystring such as video.swf?num=1. Is there such a way to pass this flashvar without having to define it since it gets defined dynamically and is always different? Note: I don't have access to fancy scripting language as our server is quite old... I know I know

HiI'm a newbie on Flash and streaming and need some help to my problems.I'm trying to create a Html page which can stream the videos that I've placed in the "application\<MyFolder>\streaming\_definst_"  folder.The thing is that it will only work when the html file is placed under the FMS webroot folder - why is that.I didn't install the apache server when I installed the FMS 3.5 because It was already installed on my system (same server).What am I missing??? Do I have to make some special configuration to the Apache server or FMS server to be able to place the Html elsewhere??A copy of the html is placed beneath.<body><object width='640' height='377' id='videoPlayer' name='videoPlayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/videoPlayer.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='tr

Hello,I am fairly new to FMS and really am trying to learn about it. My question is simple I hope;I would like a message to pop up to a client when they connect that the max users has been reached. I have it set for 5 users and so I would like when the 6th user tries to connect to watch the video, a little box will pop up and say "Sorry, Max users has been reached. Please try again in a few minutes."I was able to develop something and get it output through trace commands by following a tutorial I saw online, but I could never get any sort of message box I built to pop up.Please help anyone??

Hello All,I was browsing this forum and came across a thread about adding chat to FMS where a forum member posted this link:https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/components.htmlI am considering purchasing FMSS (can't afford FMIS) and read the text in that link and saw a chat component listed.Will this work with FMSS 3.5? This would be perfect for what I'm doing.Thanks in advance!Sincerely,wordman

Hi,I am using remote Win Server 2003 R2 via rdesktop.  As an "administrator", I installed FMS 3.5 - Developer version using default options.  Media Server starts, runs, and appears to work.  Admin Server is not running.  When I attempt to start it (from Win admin services tools),  I get error 1067 (Error registering class: name mismatch (%1$S, %2$S)).  Everything done remotely as an administrator.  Any ideas what is causing this problem?Thanks,Petr

We have a FMS 3.5.3 running on a production server, a 2x quad-core Xeon E5345 CPU based hardware with Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit OS.The FMS service streams live streams to hundreds of simultaneous Adobe Flash Player 10 clients through RTMP at port 1935.Occasionally, usually with a higher number of simultaneous clients connected (around 1, one can see a rising number of clients of the loaded (single) application (never diminishing) through the Administration Console. It appears that the clients "linger" - i.e. the number only counts up, never down, from then on.As if this was not sign of problems enough in itself, the bandwidth graph drops to near zero - i.e. it appears that streaming stops working too. Restarting application helps. The logs do not show anything UNTIL AFTER application is attempted unloaded via console. There are messages of various importance in the event log, among these the weird warning "Asynchronous I/O operation failed (Failed to attach to completion port: The

Hello,Our company is developing the product that includes rtmp restreaming/transcoding server.Our goal is to restream rtmp stream taken from external rtmp server(probably FMS), transcoding it in real-time.By transcoding I mean changing the stream resolution, quality and bitrate.Does FMS privide such a functionality? Which version of server we have to use? Does we have to use additional software suchas Flash Media Encoder or probably Rhozet products?Our platform is RHEL 5.5.Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance,Alexander Ivanenko.
