Media Server (read-only)

Hi Everyone,I am new to FMS and thought that this would be the best place to start with some questions I have.1.How do I connect to the Admin Console through a static ip remotely as I will not have access to the machine locally?2.I want to stream live audio and do audio on demand, how do I do this?3.How to I embed a music player in a webpage that can stream live audio or the audio on demand?Thanks in advanceRocky

Does Flash Media Server work with the encoding software, Wirecast?Do any of you have experience integrating the two? Good or bad ?I'm currently using Red5, which doesn't work with Wirecast, but I'd like to be able to use Wirecast.Any advice would be appreciated!Best wishes.

I have a stream playing on FMS. How can I make a snapshot of this video stream to be used as a thumbnail?

I currently have two connections with two separate streams.  They both hit the same fms 3.5 server. One connection transfers live audio and video.  The other one is used for remote objects.Sometimes when viewing the audio and video stream with a slower internet connection, the stream for the shared objects disconnects.  I think it is a bandwidth issue.Is there any way to set the priority of the streams?  I think this should allow me to set a higher priority for the shared object connection so it won't disconnect.

Hi,There is no maintainAspectRation property for video object.Then how to improve the quality of video when even we resize the video dynamically.It has to maintain good quality.How to achieve this.ThanksSrinivas

Hi, we're having many problems with our clients being unable to connect to our FMS. When they try to connect, nothing happens for around 90 seconds, then the connection finally succeeds (except most users have given up before that 90 seconds is up!). I've looked at the FMS access log as a user is trying to connect, and nothing appears until that ~90 seconds is over, then the user activity appears in the logs. It seems to be specific to clients with Flash Player 10.1, connecting to our FMS (3.0).- Using Player 9, they can connect fine.- Using Player 10.1 with FMS 2.0 is fine too.- Using Player 10.1 and FMS 3.0 = problem.FYI, we're setting up a RTMPT connection directly to port 80 (i.e. not trying RTMP or any other port and then 'falling back'). Does 10.1 work with later versions of the FMS? If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it. We can't ask all our clients to roll back to 10.0 or earlier, and as it stands anyone who has upgraded cannot use our system. Many thanks!Mike.

I'm using FMLE 3.1 to stream live video encoded with H.264 format with   FMS 3 and Flash player 10 + AS 3 to connect to the stream. When  I connect to the stream, just the audio is played. I'm able  even to  get the metadata information about the video, but I just receive  the  audio. I already tried some stuff like 1. "Flash  10 won't play live stream H.264 after iTunes install"  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/505620.  I tested it in a complete  different environment than mine, but the  same result. 2. I've tried some format to play method,  but this is just to play  files ns.play("mp4:saple.f4v"); ns.play("mp4:sample");  3. Also read "How do you watch and record a live h.264" http://www.flashcomguru.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4649 , but I  don't get even to play the stream at first place. This  is the code I'm using  import flash.media.Video; var  video:Video = new Video(720,

Hello We are using FMS 2.0.5 for our application since from last two year. Problem :-  Sometimes(With in a week or after 10 core disconnected from the edge ) our FMS are not able to accept  connection even at that time we can't enter into the admin(Management) Console. Some time after restart  our FMS accept connection and we can enter into the admin console. In the starting it takes less time to accept connection now as the times goes on time to accept connection is increasing. Suppose in December if it's takes 10 minutes to accept connection now it's taking 5 to 6 hours. We have looked in the log files but we are not getting any error. We are getting core is no longer active and one error in admin panel related to "Assert failed "as shown below. When we tried to check in services.msc  whether FMS services are working or not. We found FMS services works fine but we were not able to enter in the Management console. But after sometime we can say around after 5-6 h

Hi, although this is an ActionScript "issue" but I'm curious whether the framework's namespacing variable this.callPrefix is going to work in AS3 with FMS4?

How can i connect to my own server to watch my streaming video from another computer? pls. help me.

I just had the Adobe Flash Media Server Demo version installed on our server, not my localhost.I'm also using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder for the encoding.What I don't understand is what will the correct FMS URL be?I currently have Red5 installed and it's working just fine and I can understand what that URL is.... I'm just not sure what the URL would be for the FMS.I had the tech at the hosting company do the install----------- Install Action Summary -----------Installation directory = /opt/adobe/fmsFlash Media Server Port = 1935,80Flash Media Admin Server Port = 1111I have the IP address plus above, but that doesn't seem to work. What am I missing? This is a new install, do I need to set something in the admin panel?Help would be much appreciated.

I and several friends have been looking into the possibility of setting a content deliverynetwork, using our personal computers/internet connections.  The idea would be to have several people (probably 10 or so to start, and eventually gaining more) with at least 50/50 reliable internet lines good system specifications that are strategically placed around the world and set up as servers, and to have the stream (at about 1300 bitrate through FME, and probably dynamic) viewers feed off these servers.  As we expect there to be little profit in this endeavor we can't afford to either host or subscribe to a real CDN, and this is one of the potential solutions.  So, is such a plan viable?  If so, how many locations would we need, where would they have to be, and what are the pros/cons to doing this?

when i use the connect pro, in the classroom I can't make my web camera running. I alredy install FMS and opened port 1935. what can I do else?

I don't think there is much to add to the subject. It is a bug, anyhow.Let's say I am playing content from publisher A which is displayed in a video. I then close the stream, and issue a play call for content B on this same stream object. If publisher B is slow enough (no new data arrives for a short while), I manage to catch a glimpse of OLD UNRELATED content from publisher A! Why is this, and is there anything I can do about it?By the way Video.clear is broken in Flash Player 10, and that's public knowledge. However, I am not sure the clear method alleviates the problem. Even if you clear the video, the stale data appears afterwards anyway.

Hello All,              I'm new to Flash Media Server 3.5 . I have some question about FMS 3.5Can we control FMS server using AS3 API?In FMS 3.5 can we dynamically change the bit rate while live recording is going on?Does AS3 API provide any API to start or stop the FMS server using AS3 API or any third party API for like .net framework.Thanks.Ajitpals

Hi, all!Tell  me, is there a possibility of authentication FMLE users to the server on  the FMSS?Or such a possibility exists only in the  FMIS?Actually,  somebody had to deal with this problem? Decide  whether it?

how would i openPort 1935 on my server as i think this is why my streaming in flash media server does not work

How can I tell after issuing a NetStream::play call when there is any video arrived which I can render (Video::attachNetStream)? I can see that most of that stuff is asynchronous and highly dependent on a number of variables like FMS latency, client latency and bandwidth, server load, weather etc. I however need a reliable dependent way of figuring when there is any picture to show. I administrate our service and need to monitor content people are publishing, for that I need to browse a hundre or so streams as fast as possible. What I do is I have a number of "player" streams that play a stream name (I use Administration API to get an array of these) , wait until there is picture, show it in a video object, disconnect video from stream, create new video object, play another stream, wait until picture, show it, and so on.I found out that I can achieve a way to check whether video has arrived by NetStream::info.videoBufferByteLength, alternatively perhaps 'videoByteCount'. I cannot creat

Hi,      I'm trying to publish video streaming over internet. I want to use the h264 codec in FMS for that. Is there any in built property or setting to use h264 or have to use library for that. And also want to know among VP6, sorenson and 264 which is better to use.Thanx in advanceNitesh

Hi, I have to a problem using the Flash Media Interactive Server Feature Explorer. I want use the sample: RecordStream. I can see the instance "RecordStream" in console FMS 3.5. and show me the video in app AIR, but does not save the .FLV in my server.any ideas?

Hi,I've got a FMS server running that is hosting a simple video conferencing application. The problem I'm seeing is that when two computers are sitting next to one another, the audio delay between streams is minimal, perhaps 1s. When computers are farther apart, the audio lag gets much worse, often with a 5s delay. I don't see any actionscript parameters that I can modify that may help get this under control. Are there things I can do on the actionscript side (either on the client or server) that could help improve this situation? How likely is this simply a server problem?Thanks.

I'm making DVR application and I'd like to use h-264 codec, but got following problem. While f4v file is recording, client application (for example Adobe DVR Sample Application player) cannot seek inside the video. It starts playing sought part of the video and stops in few seconds. When recording process finishes the seek works correctly in the recorded  file. The process described above works fine when I use vp6 codec.im using FMLE 3.1 and FMIS 3.5.3

I'm thinking of spending a large amount of money on a school which teaches web development with flash being at the core of the courses ......I'm trying to wheigh how long flash will be mainstream because HTML5 is set to take over delivery of video.......should I be concearned with html5 ? Should i take the courses with flash or should I look elsewhere for web devlopment colleges?

Hi,I'm looking for some advice on the best way to set up my application. I currently have a working app but the work flow doesn't feel right at all. Here are the basic steps involved:Sign in (connection made to FMS using username+unique id)Publish webcam stream to FMSPreview own streamView gallery of other users recorded streamsThe problem I'm having is once a user is connected, they are unable to view other users recorded streams in the gallery. The way I got around this was to copy the finished stream to a different folder 'library' and then when entering the gallery sign-out then back in using 'library' as the instance name. This doesn't feel right and I'm sure there must be a better way to structure this process.The app uses most of the code that was in the livestreams demo. Connection uri:rmtp://locahost/livestreams/username_uniqueIdFolder structure:published tolivestreams / streams / username_uniqueId / video.flvwhich get copied to for viewinglivestreams / streams / library / use
