Can you block file types???

Can you block certain file types from playing to force users to have a standardized file type to be uploaded to the server?  For example, if we decide we do not want .wav files played on the server, is there a configuration setting to block/stop a .wav from playing from the server?  I want to standardize the server and force end users to copy only certain file types into the vod folder.

FMS not responding (via HTTP/RTMP), but I can connect via FTP

For some strange reason, quite out of nowhere, I'm unable to connect to any streams (RTMP) on my install of FMS 3.5, nor can I even pull up the admin interface by typing in the IP of the server. It's been working fine for weeks, and worked up until sometime last night (as far as I can tell).Oddly enough, I can still FTP into the server, upload/download files, make changes, etc. I even checked the logs and (thankfully) it appears that our customers are still able to connect and stream the videos we have on our FMS.I thought maybe it was a weird setting in my local hosts file, but not only have I made no changes to that file in a long time but I see no entries in there that would affect this issue. I also tried to SSH into the server and send a "apachectl graceful" command to gracefully reboot the server, and it restarted but the issue remains - I can't connect to the FMS via HTTP or RTMP.Has anyone else had this issue before? Is there a reason why this might be happening? Any clues/hint

how to do Audio/Vedio streaming between web cams and back end servers?

I want to implement an internet chat  application, I mean, I want a front end, which connects a web cam (mic  and speaker). So, I can send videos and audios to a back end server (do  flash streaming? but I am not sure what good product out there I can  use), and also send both A/V to another computer on the internet. In  other words, need a front end that sends local a/v from webcam  (&mic) to backend and receives remote a/v from backend to webcam  (and speaker) + backend streaming server.Any suggestions of techniques to be used? What back end flash streaming  server should I sue? How to acquire A/V from web cam (& mic) and how  to send A/V to web cam (&speaker) to play?Thanks a lot!

Where are live streamed videos stored? That is to say, recorded.

Hi there, We are having a difficult time setting up FMS and getting it to work.The latest problem we are having is with live streaming.  I have created a live stream called "liveteststream".  I embed a player in a page to see the live stream.My question:  Where is the recorded video from the live stream located?  I expected to see some sort of files in /opt/adobe/fms/applications/live, but there is nothing.  Where it stored?  Do I have to do something special to record a live stream?Thanks

FMS and Dynamic Streaming

I grabbed the code snippet that FMS provides for Dynamic streaming video and If I leave my calling code on the FMS it works fine, but ...I moved my calling page to another server and I am getting "Connection Error.  Please press Play to try again".I instantiated the paths, but I am still getting the error.Can someone see what I am doing wrong when I instantiate my paths?Here is my dynamicStream2.smil code that is sitting in folder (Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot):<smil>    <head>        <meta base="rtmp://MyFMServer/vod/" />    </head>    <body> <switch>      <video src="mp4:sample1_1500kbps.f4v" system-bitrate="1500000"/>        <video src="mp4:sample1_1000kbps.f4v" system-bitrate="1000000"/>   <video src="mp4:sample1_700kbps.f4v" system-bitrate="700000"/>   <video src="m

Problem synchronizing RSOs in Whiteboard Application

Hi,I have prepared a CUSTOM WHITEBOARD. This whiteboard is shared by two clients. They BOTH can draw on the board using TOOLS in the WHITEBOARD PANEL SET of the application. When someone DRAWS I do following actions:1: Capture the WHITEBOARD FULL AREA/CANVAS using jpgEncoder().2: Then I send this BYTEARRAY to the FMS server as Remote Shared Object.3: The client then draws that RSO onto the WHITEBOARD.Pretty simple though.BUT, I am having synchronization ISSUES. The issues are as follows:Issue 1: Image updates with no synchronization and seems to be zig-zag/random  when they both draw at a normal speed.Can anybody tell me WHAT thing I MAYBE missing.Thanks

FMS on Cloud Hosting?

Hello.  Forgive me this has been asked already.  I have already purchased FMS Streaming Server 3 and run it off of a dedicated server.  However, I would like to switch my hosting to cloud hosting (possibly rackspace cloud).  I have a couple of questions...1) Will FMS 3 and/or 3.5 run off of a cloud "virtual" dedicated machine?2) If so, how can I transfer my license to make this work?3) If cloud hosting crashes, for example, and they rebuild the cloud with a new IP, will FMS not work?  How does the license recognize which machine it is on?Thanks for the help!Matt-

Configuring FMS on IIS, separate IP addresses

Hi Everyone,I'm trying to figure out how to configure FMS to use a separate IP address from what's being binded to the IIS site.  My server currently has two IP addresses in the NIC settings.  In IIS i have a website binded to just one of the ip addresses.  In FMS (3.5.3) i've configured the Adaptor.xml file to use the other IP address that isn't binded to the IIS website. When i start FMS it appears to use both the IP addresses and the IIS website can't start due to FMS taking the the IP addresses and port 80.  Anyhow below is a snapshot of my adaptor.xml. Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.- <HostPortList>- - - <!-- For example, "12

Stopping a Stream

When broadcasting a stream, is it possible to be able to just cut it completely via a part of a video switcher? I have developed a working switcher, but I have not passed into a working theory of how I could be able to disconnect/reconnect a particular feed.

Set up FMS on my site. (rtmp://...)

Hi,I tried some applications like vod and live with localhost.Now I'm trying to use some applications on my site. It's the first thing you need to do, but apparently it's so basic that I can't find information about it.Can someone explain me how to change the "localhost" to a webserver? In other words, how do I set up an application like vod on my site?Thomas__

Subdirectories for F4V files

For the vod application folder, we want to stream FLV and F4V files.  This works OK when all the files are in that directory.  But I have content that could embed an F4V file with the same name that reference two different videos with the same name.Content A - Intro.F4VContent B - Intro.F4VThese F4V files I create a subdirectory under the vod and then that path is referenced in the content.For F4V files, the files will not stream.  Is there any way around this?  I know naming the files uniquely is a possibility but my application doesn't maintain the content file names, so we would have to kludge in an additionally lookup and update the content files (SWFs) themselves.  They are all in this relative folder tree, so for local playing on a PC it works fine.  (PC doesn't stream)I know I can add streaming folders, but I don't want to go through each folder, otherwise the wrong file might be played.Any suggestions from the experts?Thanks,Jon

Butwhat is the meaning of 10 users limitation of FMS?If I open a live webcam, Does it says max 10 users can be watch it? Is that right?Do we have to buy product for that kind of web application?

Streaming Multiple Bitrates - Only one stream working.

Just like the title says I am using Flash Media Live Encoder and I have three streams.  The encoder is sending the streams just fine but I am not sure how to deliver it to the client.  The only one that shows up is "livestream1".  "Livestream2" and "Livestream3" won't even come up.  I'm not sure what I need to post for someone to help me with this but whatever you need I can get it.  Thanks..

Egde/Origin in Vhost.xml

I was reading a post from November 2009 about configuring the Edge/Origin Vhost.xml file. The sample configuration from that post reccommended this config to the user who was asking:<VirtualHost>      <Proxy>         <Mode>remote</Mode>         <Anonymous>true</Anonymous>         <CacheDir enabled="true" useAppName="true"></CacheDir>         <LocalAddress>10.11.100.100</LocalAddress>         <RouteTable protocol="">             <RouteEntry>*:1935*;10.11.191.19:1935</RouteEntry>            <RouteEntry>*:80;10.11.191.19:80</RouteEntry>         </RouteTable> &n

Server side Stream.play() and origin edge set up

I'm stuck trying to get a Stream.play() call on a recorded video file (.flv) to translate from origin to edge servers.  Don't even know if it's possible.If I call Stream.play() on a server, and connect a viewer directly to  that server, the viewer sees the stream play.  If I call Stream.play()  on an origin server and connect a viewer to edge servers the stream does not play.Is it possible to configure in any way that the play() call would propagate to edge servers?According to FMS 3.5 docs on the Stream class, the following is the case:"When you call Stream.play()on the server, the server becomes the publisher."See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7e42.html#WSF74EED77-5C4C-423d-B879-7C02DF8FEC5FIf that server becomes a publisher and lets say it was an origin server on a CDN, shouldn't the other machines in the configuration receive the published stream?Somehow when you publish a live stream to an origin se

Multipoint Publishing with FME and 2 FMS servers

Hello, I am trying to setup Multipoint Publishing using FME and a couple of FMS servers. Can you take a look at the below code and let me know if I should be doing something different. - FME streams to FMS 1 (on SERVER_1) - FMS1 publishes to FMS2 (on SERVER_2) using the below actionscript in main.asc file on FMS1 I have put the code under FCPublish because the comments in main.asc state that FME calls FCPublish when it publishes a new stream. Client.prototype.FCPublish = function( streamname ) { if ( true) // do some validation here { this.call("onFCPublish", null, {code:"NetStream.Publish.Start", description:streamname}); nc = new NetConnection(); nc.connect("rtmp://SERVER_2/test_HighBW/"); ns = new NetStream(nc); ns.publish(streamname); } else { this.call("onFCPublish", null, {code:"NetStream.Publish.BadName", description:streamname}); } } Thanks in advance, Sai

Protecting Live Stream Encoding URL

We set up a Flash Media Server and we are trying to figure out how to protect our live encoding url. Seems like anyone with a Flash Media Encoder and who knew the location of our server could publish a live stream. Can we password protect this in any way?

Webcam frame rate, netStream frame rate, flv framerate

I'm recording Webcam to FMS 3.5 but when I play the recorded video from FMS it's choppy. I have set the camera.fps to 30 but when I trace out the currentFPS for camera it's variable and usually falls between 20 and 30. However when I play the recorded video, netStream's currentFPS returns a lower value, something closer to 10. So my question is, 1) why currentFPS of netStream is not the same as Camera's? 2) What's the actual frame rate of the recorded video (not the netStream, but FLV's)?I've setup a test page which shows currentFPS of camera during recording as well as netStream's currentFPS during playing of recorded video from FMS:http://www.saeidmohadjer.com/clients/mm/startersite/sample_webcam.php

FMS design issue

Hi all,I'm a FMS beginner and i have a bit of a design issue.On the one hand, I have a remote site with 2 serveillance cameras that stream MPEG4 using a video server with static IP.On the second hand i have a FMS in the headquarters that should publish the streams live to multiple Flex clients. (Note that the FMS is remote and there for i cannot use the Camera object) How should i begin?Should i write a server side application that grabs the MPEG4 stream which sits in the headquarters and using the Live Encoder publishes the streams as flv file to the FMS (if so, how does the FMS intracts with such application such as java or .net application in the meaning of streaming)?Are there any other way that you may think about.I'll be very thankfull for your help.  Thanks in advance.
