Media Server (read-only)

Hi,So, after waiting for a while, we decided to upgrade our streamers to FMS 3.5.3 and set them up to proxy HTTP requests to a lighttpd server instead of the "built in" Apache. With the previous version 3.5 of FMS, we had problems of FMS hanging up after a while and stopping relaying requests, generally a few hours, even when it did not serve a lot of requests. With version 3.5.3, we had great hopes that this problem had disappeared as we had FMS running for more than a month on a test server. So we did the upgrade and we encounter another problem:After less that one day of activity, our servers crashed for an unknown reason, almost at the same time. Analysing the logs, I saw out of memory messages, but how could two linux servers stop working in the same 5 minutes interval. I supposed there was a power failure of some sort. And I kept analysing because the sysadmins in the server room swore that they saw out of memory kernel panic on the consoles. After a bit of investigation, I found

application.onPublish = function (p_c, p_stream){     trace("onPublish stream: "+p_stream.name);     p_stream.record();};Is the above script safe ?

Is it possible to constantly call the MetaData from an FLV on the FMS other than the onMetaData function which just reports the once - Say i want to constantly check if the MetaData has changed every 10 seconds...

Hi, I want to protect my live streams. I use allowhtmldomain.txt and  include my domain name there. after i did that people stream to my FMIS  using FME can not connect to my server. they are receiving error on FME  saying " I did research and found this code var VALID_REFERRER = "http://localhost/SimpleConnect.swf"; var VALID_PAGEURL = "http://localhost/SimpleConnect.html"; application.onConnect = function(pClient) { if (pClient.referrer == VALID_REFERRER && pClient.pageUrl ==  VALID_PAGEURL) { this.acceptConnection(pClient); } else { this.rejectConnection(pClient) } } } and put that on main.asc, and change URL to my file location. but i  still get same error. Is there is a way to allow only my website and disable all other  websites from leeching, while FME can stream to my FMIS without  problems.

Hi,I have a 10 second Intro video that I would like to play before each main video plays.The videos are streaming through FMS 3.5.At the moment I have to attach the intro to the start of the main videos and render out in Premiere Pro CS5Ideally I would like to set it up so that the intro starts for the 10 seconds and then auto switches to the manin video.To show an example of what I need to do here is a link to an Archery site ( I also do archery as a hobby and noticed this)http://europroarchery.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.cgi/003628.1.1497528102114867862If you click on any of the 8 parts for either day 1 or Day two, you will notice a couple  the 5 second intro screens and it then automatically goes back to 0 to start the main video.Can anyone please explain how to do this please?regards

Hi everyone, I've ran into a weird error and would love some help. currently, we're running FML 2  and I'm writing a very simple recording application that generates a random stream name and publishes a flv using the microphone on the user's computer. The error I'm running into is that the first time I press record (and run netstream.publish(fileName, "record")) it always fails.  if I stop recording, then rerecord it works fine. an example of the code I'm using:active_mic = Microphone.get();active_mic.setGain(90);   today = new Date();fileName = "test"+today.getTime().toString();client_nc = new NetConnection();client_nc.connect("pathToServer");function startRecording() {out_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);out_ns.onStatus = function(info) {trace("Level: " + info.level + "\n   Code: " +  info.code); }   out_ns.attachAudio(active_mic);out_ns.publish(fileName, "record");}function endRecording() {        out_ns.cl

question basically is that, on server side it needs to pull an RTMPE stream coming out of an origin server. tried a demo setup but could not get it working. is this feature supported in 3.5??any help appreciated.

I sucessfully upgraded from FMS to FMIS. In the Admin it shows that the license is now Flash Media Interactive Server r405 I believe.The live and vod services continue to work as expected.On a separate development server I have developed a number of applications that I want to move to the new production server. Nothing connects at all on the new server. In the Admin, all the applications show as being available.Is there something I need to do to make it work?I don't want to post details on line but willing to share if someone can help out?Boss really wants to make the $4000 upgrade work if you know what I mean...

HellowI have a running FMS server. It's everything ok.I can see my Stream movies (the example movies) using Sample FMS VideoPlayer.swf like this:serverURL=rtmp://127.0.0.1/vod/sample.flvserverURL=rtmp://127.0.0.1/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4vBut I can't stream Avi Files:serverURL=rtmp://127.0.0.1/vod/mp4:AviSample.aviI have tried every combination possible, but nothing (avi:AviSample.avi etc etc). The movie is in MPEG-4 Format, and XVID Codec.In the server i can see the application, so there is a connection with the server, but the status is idle. I can't found any example around, and neither how to stream an avi, mov or another extension. There are some threads (in this forum too)  but any of them got a clear answer.Thanks in advance

Hello,I'm working with dynamic streaming transitions and I would know how to stop a manual switch transition. Ocasionally I want to let the user change the quality of the streaming while another request its working. The actual result is that the requests succeded in cascade, and it would be nice to be able of stoping or canceling an actual change.Thanks and regards.Nacho G.

I know the stream can only be modified at publishing side by previous posts.I was thinking of using Server shared objects ,but it's not supported by lite.How can I do it now?

So far , I only found tutorials on control these attributes while publishing the stream,how can I adjust it while playing ?

I'm trying to figure out how to set metadatafor a streamvia server-side action script but can't find any reference how to do this, can anyone point me in the right direction?

HiI have some issues with the FMS installation. I need my old apache server keep running, because i have a cakePHP site and everything already running. The installation was OK, and i checked the libs (#./fmsmaster ~console), already installed the needed libraries (all of them), at least i couldnt found any missing library (#ldd fmsmaster -- #ldd fmsadmin -- #ldd fmscore).The user running FMS is root, the same Linux super user  (Configured in fms.ini).So, my server run, but nothing happen. I tried to connect the admin console and nothing again.When i start the server via console command, it says ipv6 was detected!, so i edited the adaptor (ipv6 to true) and RHEL config (/etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING_IPV6=yes).The Firewall is Off, anyway i configured those ports (1111,1935,443,80).I can't make the server connect, every port is closed all the time (checked with #nmap 127.0.0.1 -p80,443,111,1935). Every log (Admin00, master00, edge00) Says Failed to connect, and then abort the ser

Has anyone setup FMS to stream to a blackberry device?Thanks

I've searched quite a few threads:http://www.developsigner.com/blog/2009/05/28/multi-bitrate-live-streaming-with-fmle-adobe-flash-media-live-encoderhttp://forums.adobe.com/thread/27371dynamicStream.addStream("livestream1",200); dynamicStream.addStream("livestream2",400); dynamicStream.addStream("livestream2",600); vid.play2(dynamicStream); But all of them are talking about playing multiple bit rate live video,my question is how I can publish multiple bit rate live videos in the first place?

I've had some problems with FMS crashing when trying to execute or compile large regular expressions.  This is the most easily reproducible scenario:var patterns = [];for(var iter = 0; iter < Math.pow(2, 16); iter++){      patterns.push('a');}var filter = new RegExp('('+patterns.join('|')+')', 'i');2^16 dies, 2^16 - 1 works fine.  Understandable that it crashes with such a big RegExp, but the problem I have with FMS is that the error messages are useless when it crashes.  "Experienced 1 failure(s)!" is all I get.  So my question is; can we get better debug info when FMS crashes?Thanks,Sean

Hello,is there any example how to set up FMS so that it act like a radio station, and the connected users will hers all the same ?I have several DJ Mixes which should run cuntiniously and not on demand.How could I do that ?Marc
