Media Server (read-only)

Currently I have a music player that uses FMS on Windows 2003 Server/IIS 6 in a .Net app.I'm trying to move to Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7.  However, the player doesn't begin playing from my list when the asp.net page loads with the player.  However, if I run my code in debug mose in Visual Studio on the server, the player is functional. Which leads me to ask - can I use FMS in the fashion I want to?  If so, how can I set up my site?  I tried putting my app pool into classic mode, which didn't work. Please help!  Thank you in advanceTherese

The FMS server administration console shows me the internal IDs for the clients, along with their traffic statistics -- particularly the number of dropped packets. Every once in a while we see a lot of dropped packets to one viewer, or to a small group of viewers, while other viewers have zero packet loss and are able to watch the streams without any problem.How do I find out the IP address of a specific client?

How do I record a live stream in FMS3 and make the recorded streams available in the VOD folder?

The attached image shows 17 client connections.  Unfortunately there are not 17 clients connected to that app.  In fact, I add users to a userlist shared object in application.onConnect(), and that shared object only reports 6 connections.  That is the accurate number of connected users.Why the phantom connections?  Even if I unload and reload the app, the 17 client connections return. How can my userlist shared object and the client connection number be out of sync? This situation seems to be related in some way to an FMS memory problem that is cropping up all of a sudden.  When I have larger numbers of connected clients - say 300, the client connections reported in the FMS console are ten times that - like 3,000 or more.  Then the application is unloaded by FMS for being a memory hog. The app itself is simple.  It just stores each user in a user array and passes chat communication to and from these users.  The last time this main.asc code was c

does anyone know how to test how many users can use a fms application simulationsly?? Are there any automated tools?

I have the streaming server 3.5.3. The sample player page for the dynamic streaming is here: http://fms.acpe.org ....click on the dynamic sample. pause and wait a few minutes for disconnect from the server. When you hit play, it starts from that spot and also starts from the beginning in the background audio while showing the buffering orange circle the whole time.Is there an updated player? Is there a fix for this? My users are students watching long lectures, they pause all the time. when they come back, it is a mess.Thanx to whoever can help...:) - Marcus

1. In FMS core logs I see this error "Failed to open log file /opt/adobe/fms/logs/_defaultVHost_/TextChat/ICanFootball-1/PM/530662-621824/application.00.log errno=2". But I check and found the file exists. What can couse this error, do you have any idea?2. Is there a way to disable logging for an application?3. In edge logs, Sometimes I encounter the error "Exception while processing message : (Adaptor: _defaultRoot_, VHost: Unknown, App: , Type: 20, ID: 0, B". It seems it has no effect but still it is an error.I'll be very grateful for any idea, thank you.

Hi there. Please i have a small LAN of about 8 computers all of which are running windows 7. I have installed FMS and XAMPP webserver on one of the machines. I want to stream live from one PC to all the other PCs on the LAN. I have a webpage with jwplayer embedded in it on my XAMPP webserver that is able to see the live stream when i start it locally. I mean the live stream works fine on the machine with the servers on it. But when i want to view the live stream from another machine in the LAN by accessing the webpage that has the jwpalyer from another machine, The jwplayer returns "server not found:rtmp://192.168.10.1/live" error. I was thinking that maybe a firewall is blocking the 1935 port but i have turned off the firewall of every PC on the LAN. I have unistalled any antivirus program on all the PCs. But i still get the same error when i try to access the live stream from another PC on the LAN.When i run netstat -a -n|find ":1935" i get  192.168.10.2:49184   192.16

I am new to the Flash Media Server and have a question on its use of ports. Now if a server has IIS and FMS and one wished only to stream flash (VOD). Could I edit the fms.ini file and remove port 80 from adaptor.hostport?In my thinking I would stream over port 1935 and would lose the ability to progressive download over port 80. Now I do not ever want to use progressive downloading so no issue so far. In addition I can now run my IIS server on port 80 for my administartor console into FMS.  All my clients are internal and thus I do not need a stream on port 80.Is my thinking sound or am I misssing something?

The server is up and running, the VOD items work fine. The server recognizes the streaming application when I output to the server, but we cannot view the stream. ? This was working fine and all of a sudden, nothing. Any ideas?

Hi all!I have build a streaming video player bassed on the flash Video Object and netstream. The company that provides the streaming have now gone over to Dynamic Streaming and uses SMIL files. Usually this is not a problem if i had used a FLVPlayback component, But now that my player is a Video Object i just can't get it to work.I don't want to rebuild the entire player based on FLVPlayback component since the current play have many functions.Have anyone built a Dynamic player based on Video object? Anyone that can help me with this? Oh yeay. I use AS2  I know i'm going over to AS3 but this player in built in as2 Looking forward to see how this can be solved

I'm getting this error with one chat application. According tohttp://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flashmediaserver/3.0/docs/help.html?content=09_config_statuscodes_1.html..I should "Check the JavaScript runtime size for this application in the  configuration file". By default it was set to 1024.  Any attempt to increase it causes FMS not to start again. This problem just came out of the blue.  This same chat app has been in operation with no trouble for about 10 months.  I restart the server machine on which it resides before each new chat session.Any suggestions?

I am using flvplayer on multiple pages of my site. Now when i open any two pages  at a time and try to run the player, it does not work simultaneously. I mean  player only shows on one page and does not display on the other page. If i close  the other page then it gets displayed on the first page. Is there any means that  i could show the player on all my pages simultanously ?

I have Flash media server but cannot get it to run despite looking at your other posts. If i stream using FLE and this streams to flash media server the URL is rtmp://localhost/live/livestream. If i open up the flash media page with the 2 windows displayed the right window shows what is streamed to flash media server which is same as URL just mentioned. If i use the videoplayer in the rootinstall what URL should i plcae there to run HTTP. If i give you my IP address which the DNS server address is 192.168.1.254. so what link should i create for users to view stream as nothing seems to work. if i use http://192.168.1.254/live/livestream this does not seem to work on the videoplyer page. Am i doing something incorrect. Please advise what IP address i need to add in...etc.

Been having an issue lately with Flash Media Encoder immediately closing down after starting the program. It will display the window for a very brief moment and then close down. I have used the program many times with no issues but this recently started to happen. When it started closing directly after startup the first time, it allowed me to use it a few times afterwards. But recently its not working at all. Any ideas?

Hello All,I am a webmaster, reasonably skilled in PHP and MySQL, and I want to add streaming video to my website.I have seen many cheap, even free software packages that supposedly allow you to stream from a website, but it looks like progressive streaming and none of it look secure.Today, I found FMSS and it appears to be what I am looking for. Here's what I want to accomplish:My website will host proprietary videos that will only be available to subscribers.Subscribers will choose the videos they want to see and then I want them to be streamed from my server.This is simply for the user to view the videos, not for any sort of interaction.I may also want to be able to stream live from one webcam.Will FMSS do this for me? I want to make sure before I buy, and to be honest, I can not afford FMIS for quite a while yet.If my questions are not clear enough, please let me know so that I may elaborate.Thank you all in advance for your help and input!Sincerely,wordman
