Media Server (read-only)

Hello, I'm FMS beginner (server side newbie in general)... I installed FMS 3.5 (Development) on my computer which is inside of local network. Now I try to connect to rtmp service from another machine in same network using my computer's IP as I used to while connecting to my apache, but it is worthless. Everything works fine on my computer... Any help appreciated...

Dear allI looking for a hosting of FMS for a video conferencing application. Each flex application will be able to connect a camera and microphone and broadcast it to Flash Media Interactive Server. Listner will play the published live stream.First I thougt I will be able to do so over Amazon Web Services Content Delivery Network Cloud Front, but it looks that this is for playing stored files only. May you please give me some names of hosting providers that have presence in US, Europe and if possible other places?Thanks for your help,Regards,Marc

Hi,I'm trying out FMS on Windows Vista.  I've got it successfully installed.  I am trying to get the simple HelloWorld application to work (described at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e-7ffd.html).However, I'm getting the error:Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Connect.Failed at HelloWorld/connectHandler()I believe the code is crashing at:nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/HelloWorld");Is that the wrong URL?  Do I have to enable anything in IIS? To eliminate the possibility of coding error, I've cut and pasted the code directly from files from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\documentation\samples\HelloWorld.The "HelloWorld" application shows in the "Applications" tab of the Admin console. What else could I be missing?

I have an application that uses FMS 3.5 to stream live audio between 2 computers.  Currently, the delay between when the person speaks and the time the other person hears it is about 2 - 3 seconds.  This makes it difficult to have a conversation because one person regularly steps on the other.I am using a NetStream object that connects to the fms server.  I then attach audio.  What configurations can be set so that the least amount of delay is experienced between the two computers?  Can fms ever relay audio as quick as something like  Google Talk?

Hi,I have a problem with server side caching on FMS (3.5.3).I've taken the live main.asc and modified it in order to record streams on the server with timestamp names.as follows:/* * application.onAppStart:*                         is called when application load. It contains Live (out of the box) * application specific initializations. */ load("AkamaiFCSPublish.asc");application.onAppStart = function(){     ...     trace("...loading completed.");     application.streams = new Object();     }.../** FCPublish :* FME calls FCPublish with the name of the stream whenever a new stream * is published. This notification can be used by server-side action script* to maintain list of all streams or also to force FME to stop publishing.* To stop publishing, call "onFCPublish"

FMS can record computer sounds, I use flash to do a piano, it can play sound, I want record the sounds, FMS can record it?

Hi, I have a Flash Media Streaming Server and I want to use SWFVerification. But I have a questions...1. We use for example rtmp://domain/live/recordings, I need to edit Application.xml in the folder "application/live"?2. I can to use URL Absolut in Application.xml?<SWFVerification enabled="true">        <SWFFolder>http://www.domain.com/folderA/folderClients/</SWFFolder>        <MinGoodVersion></MinGoodVersion>        <UserAgentExceptions>            <Exception to="" from=""/>        </UserAgentExceptions>        <Cache>            <TTL></TTL>            <UpdateInterval></Update

the chat client application is created using adobe AIR, the application should be able to do communication sims like Google Talk and AIM does. If it is impossible is there any other solution to do that?Best RegardsKin

I will begin this message by saying: I am new to FMS3.5 and web dev in general.I am having an issue that I cannot solve. I inherited a php application that serves as a streaming video playlist management tool. The original application ran on a box with both apache and FMS2.0. The app writes vars to an XML document from a web form and then uses those vars as flashvars in a get method to create sharable URLs for clients.I have moved the application over to the web directory on Apache within a new installation of  FMS3.5 on a new server. The application works in most instances. However, I have found that when the character count in a URL with the get method exceeds 1029 characters, I get this message:The connection was resetThe connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.The same links work fine on FMS2.0 and the original Apache install.Any ideas?Dickie CoxCNM Multimedia Specialist

This is probably a real newbie question but how do you get stats out of the media server? is it only available through the log files? any ideas?Many thanks in advance

How would I go about integrating FMS 3.5 with IIS so that IIS would serve the same purpose that Apache would if I had chosen to install it upon installation of FMS 3.5?More specifically, what purpose does the Apache install that you're prompted to install along with FMS 3.5 serve? If I don't install Apache along with FMS am I losing some sort of functionality that I should implement in IIS instead?Thanks

I've got Flash Media Server 3.5 up and running on a development server and now want to start customizing the install.The first thing I want to do is to move the applications folder to a remote server/NAS. This is a failsafe so that if for some reason the Flash Media Server goes kaput all the flv files aren't wiped as well.Can I configure Flash Media Server so that the applications folder points to a remote network drive (via UNC paths) without causing any permissions problems? How do I do this?Thanks

I have flash media streaming server installed onto my server and wondered whether i actually need a sound card on my server to enable audio to be streamed. I was told i did not??? so how would audio be streamed if no sound card/???

Hi,Stupid question, I am sure.    But anyway, I have my shiny new FMS 3.5 server.   There is the multi-rate example which provides a "Cut and Paste"  object tag to embed the video....   e.g.<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='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true&videoWidth=0&videoHeight=0&dsControl=manual&dsSensitivity=100&serverURL=dynamicStream.smil&DS_Status=true&streamType=vod&autoStart=true'/><embed src='swfs/videoP

Hi,I'm looking to duplicate the video-embedding technique shown on revision5.com, whereby they show the flash video to all platforms where flash is available, and only show the HTML5 player on mobile devices. (specifically, iphone / ipad)Is there a browser-sniffing framework, or some other method available to accomplish this?Thanks,Glen

I need to improve the uptime of a 24/7 live audio stream. Periodically, the connection between FMLE and FMS (3.0.1) is broken and FMLE cannot reconnect. FMLE shows NetStream.Publish.BadName error. How do I prevent this error and get FMLE to automatically reconnect every time? What other measures can be taken to improve the uptime of a live audio stream publishing from FMLE 3.1 (Windows) to FMS 3.0.1? Also, are there any improvements in FMS 3.5 that will help with uptime?Message was edited by: brian.holderchow

hi .. I am automating FMS installation on linux(CentOS).. Can someone advice if I can install FMS in a non-interactive way. Generally, the terms/conditions accpting, keys, admin user,pass users we pass these values interactively, where the scripts stop and wait for user input .. Is there any way to do Install FMS non interactively. ThanksKarthik.

I have supplied several progressive download flash videos to our web site programmer. Our web site is in PHP. All videos play well except for one thing: I would like them to start automatically. How do you change that? One the server, he added the Clear_Skin.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and flvProgress.swf files. Are those the ones that control the autoplay action?Thanks

Hi,I'm building a video conferencing applicaition for a portal. But now when considering which version of flash media server to buy, I run into some problem. So can anyone helps me about comparing this two versions: Flash Media Streaming Server and Flash Media Interactive server, like if I use Flash Media Streaming Server, some function like NetStream.pause() may not work or something like that? I'm not sure if this is a foolish question but please let me know.And if you know adobe technical support team's email please give me. I really need it.Thanks.

HiI just installed Flash Media Server 3.5 and was trying to verify my installation.When I try to 'Verify progressive download over HTTP' as given in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_InstallingFMS/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed5bf7c0-7ffc.html#WSe62f2d05c0a6af0a1afef98e11c79043cd5-7ffe   i am able to  'View a sample video' on start screen but when i try 'View your own video' i get this message on the player "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again."Please suggest whats wrong. Thanks

I'm trying to determine an initial value for NetStream.bufferTime based on the client's calculated bandwidth and the video's bitrate.As far as I can tell you can't do this, because you must have an initial buffer set BEFORE you call NetStream.play() (or use the default 2 seconds) and FMS does not call NetStream.onMetaData, where one would normally find the videodatarate, until after NetStream.play() is called.Even if you modify NetStream.bufferTime during the onMetaData call back it doesn't effect when the video starts playing or when the NetStatus event registers "NetStatus.Buffer.Full".Therefore my question is:How do I find the Video Data Rate BEFORE I call NetStream.play?-Or-How do how do I reset the initial bufferTime before acctual play back begins and the NetStatus event fires with "NetStatus.Buffer.Full"

I'm utilizing the developer edition of FMS and am trying to republish a stream that is being broadcast with Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) unfortunately, I am unable to get any audio or video to display in the client application. The client app can get the stream from the published to app (e.g. CamChat) but not from the republished stream. Following is the output of the trace statements from the SSAS as well as the source for main.asc:Error output: (to FMS Admin Console)Rebroadcast is starting...NetConnection> code: NetConnection.Connect.SuccessStream> code: NetStream.Publish.StartStream> details: Stream> details: livestreamStream> code: NetStream.Play.ResetStream> code: NetStream.Play.StreamNotFoundStream> details: livestreamStream> code: NetStream.Play.StopStream> details: livestreammain.asc:var localStream = "rtmp://localhost/CamChat";application.onAppStart = function(){     application.allowDebug = true;     trace(
