Media Server (read-only)

I am new to Media Serverand I am sure I am doing something wrong that is really simple.  I am running Media Server 3.5.2.  The server is still non production.  I copy video files to webroot/vod/video.flv.  From the client workstation I attempt to access http://myserver/vod/video.flv and get nothing.  It was my understanding video's copied here could be viewed as such.  What am I missing?  Any help would be much appreciated.

I have an fms app which won't disconnect people in IE unless they close the browser completely. Simply going to another url in the browser leaves their name in the peoplelist. I've tried everything here without success. Even IE 8 shows same problem on Vista. IE on XP works fine as well as some versions of IE on Vista.Firefox, opera, chrome all work fine everytime.The problem, it seems, is IE won't "leave" pages until it's closed no matter what.Any ideas on this one?

Hi everyone. I have a rather strange problem I need some help with.I can get my livestream working with the livetest application included in my FMS v3.0 application folder.When I try to connect to the livestream using any other flashplayer with the right settings, it simply wont work.I am currently using FLME 3 and FMS 3. Both are run on the same machine, hence connecting to "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream" as per default.The stream works flawlessly with the livetest swf, even tried with an external connection outside my LAN.Using Windows 7.I tried creating a new flashplayer in Flash CS4 and got the following error message when starting the .swf-file:SecurityError: Error #2028: The SWF-file Untitled-1.swf in the local filesysten cannot access the internet-URL rtmp://localhost/live/livestream.    at flash.net::NetConnection/connect()    at fl.video::NCManager/http://www.adobe.com/2007/flash/flvplayback/internal::nextConnect()    at fl.video

Hi,I am using a Sony HVR-A1 as a Webcam as we need good quality video streaming for live video feeds.It does work well.the only query I have is that the only choice offered on the FPS section is 29 frames per second.I would like to be able to reduce that as it is too much for streaming.Is their something I can do?Cheers

I have an FMIS 3.5 app where I am attempting to publish multiple streams to an edge server.  I have found that if I loop through my list of streams and attempt to publish to the edge server (i.e. as fast as possible), the publishing will fail.  They succeed if I have some delay between the publish calls.  Is this expected?

Hello everyone,I have a player set up to stream live tv channels. It works fine except when paused for more than 10 secs or so, it continues to stream but very jumpy, as if we press on advance/rewind button.If you have any idea or have encountered the same problem, please share.Your input is very appreciated.Regards,Niusaul

I have been beating my head against this problem for a while now and can't seem to find anyone else having the same issue.When using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 to dynamically stream live video, the subscribing to it is "jumpy", for lack of a better term. I have no issues with swapping between bitrate streams on pre-recorded video, but when I use live feeds one of the streams seems corrupted. I've tried various bitrate settings and different people experience the video differently, but about half the time, one of the streams is all tiling and stuttering.Example: If publishing 3 streams (200kb/s, 600kb/s, and 1200kb/s) and the bandwidth drops, causing a downshift from 1200 to 600, after the transition the 600 is in this weird stuttering 1 second loop and persists to do this until the dynamic stream requests a switch to one of the other streams.I've tried reinstalling FMIS, FMLE and no matter what I do, there seems to be a 50/50 chance that a viewer will experience this. What's so weird t

Hi everyone,I couldnt find an answer to my problem anywhere, i hope some of you can help me out.I am trying to play a previously recorded video, everything works fine except the resume() method (same with togglePause() - when it's used to resume the video - the pause works just fine)Here's a bit of my code:this.customClient = new Object();this.customClient.onMetaData = metaDataHandler;this.nsPlay = new NetStream(this.nc);this.nsPlay.bufferTime = 2;this.nsPlay.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onPlaybackStatus);this.nsPlay.client = this.customClient;this.videoRemote.attachNetStream(this.nsPlay);this.nsPlay.play(this.MOVIE_NAME, 0);/** play/pause button click handler **/private function onPlayPause(evt:MouseEvent):void{               this.nsPlay.togglePause();}Any help or tip would be greatly appreciated.

Created a SWF 65kb in CS3. It plays the SWF fine offline. followed the CS4 classroom in a book scenario & copied it to CS4 thinking it might fix any errors. The CS3 version would play on IE screen but not on my server (server supports flash). CS4 plays it on the screen but not on IE. The Scripts/install & object files were uploaded to my server.Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated!   

I'm trying to create an application where my client (swf client) calls the server (creates a connection). then I want the server to call a url to load some xml data. When that data gets loaded, I want a response to go back to my swf client. Some of what I'm doing works, but I've had trouble stringing it all together.1. new netConnection() -- all good2. (server) acceptConnection -- all good3. (server) client.xmlLoad -- all good4. swf client... waiting ... waiting...but no one calls. I set up a respondernc.call ("loadXML",responder,"somedata");and magically, the responder callback method fires. but seemingly on its own. My server side script is not making any returns. and it's not getting any data.can someone respond with some basics of how things should be set up? I'm not sure how to call the swf client from within the xml.onLoad() method, which is when I know for certain that my xml request has finished processing.

Hi all,      How to detect camera is in use or not ??  Adobe says, if Camera.getCamera(); returns null, it means camera not installed, or in use ,i use below, then when i start swf, first one is ok, but then i start new instance of app, it throws and error " .... flash 10 r2has stopped"how can i solve that problem...cam = Camera.getCamera();      if (!cam) {                myTextField.text = "No camera is installed.";                            } else {                myTextField.text = "Connecting";                connectCamera();          &nb

Currently we are running a FMS 3.5 server and to 99.9% of our clients they can see our streams with no issues.  This all started after we moved server from influxes to in house.  Everything was back to working ok but one client.  They must be behind a very secure network becasue they see the player we have but no video, only gray boxes.  My first guess is that they are blocking RTMP.  I tried to get into her machine via remote but it required domain authentication.  This was working with our old system but not the new one.  Nothing much has changed execpt hosting companies.  Normally we could use port 80 to stream out of but we currently have a different web server fordwaring traffic through 80 and our firewall will not route host headers.  What could be the best way to make this work?

I have installed a FMS to a CentOS server. I created an application here but I cannot connect to it raising a "Connection Error".I tried testing it by streaming some videos on the samples on vod. I used the "../samples/videoPlayer/videoplayer.htm" which is locally found on my computer that was included when I installed a FMS too on my local computer (Windows). When I try to load a video from my computer's FMS samples it usually works. I used the following Stream URL here: rtmp://[MY-IP]/vod/sample.flvBut when I try to load a sample vido from the server i still get "Connection Error". I used the following URLrtmp://[server-ip]/vod/media/mp4:sample.f4vThe file is located at /applications/vod/media/ which is as far as I know, the vod is the application's name and media is an instance name.Am i doing the right thing here? I want to know if the problem has something to do with the server. And also, is there a sample working Stream URL on the internet that I can use to test?TIA!

Hi,the people from my server installed fms 3.5, but the demo video with that train stops every other second. Should I adjust something in settings?   Thank you.

Hi,I'm recording a stream from a webcam as an f4v file using FMS 3.5.  The file is created in the live folder, and i can stream it back to the client no problem, however when I try to play the file in Adobe Media Player (or anything else) it won't play.  I've used the f4v post processor which claims to run successfully, but with no joy.  Any ideas?

What type of TCP Flags Flash Media Server need for: RTMP/T RTMPE/TESYN and ACK?Or do i need to set RST too?Best Regards,Sérgio Henrique

Hi,my fla video files are in the vod folder and to be shown through http they are streaming through the videoPlayer.swf file (that came with the server), right?If that's how it works, and this is the file that is the player that comes with fms, then there are a couple of things that are not that good: you can't click anywhere on the timeline, have to drag the moving timeline pointer, and the same about the volume.Where can I get another player(s) that will be more like the ones that the flash streaming sites use (youtube, google movies, etc.)Thank you.Anna

I was testing rtmpt today (unfortunately one of our clients' firewall is blocking rtmp even through port 80). Each video (or connection probably) taking an awfully lot of time to load up (15 sec). We are testing with FMS 3 and latest Flash client (9). Ours is an interactive video app. So this is not acceptable. Is this a standard behavior (I hope not 😞 ) ? Can we make rtmpt work as good as rtmp (of course, the network overhead is acceptable)? I am using rtmpt://server:80/app/stream as my url. One more thought comes to my mind. If it cant do rtmpt (some config mess up on my server), does it still fall over to rtmp. In that case too, there is some hope for me to fix something. How do I know if it fell over to rtmp? Any leads on this would be extremely helpful. Thanks Siva.

I want to record the my stream at media server with file name 1.flv, and after 30 min same stream saved in another file like 2.flv, same prcess atfetr each 30 min.How to do that

I need to move recorded media files at my fms account to some other ftp account. How can i achieve this through server side scripting.

I need to display large number of streams in one flash player. In order to minimize cpu load i want to display only intra frames in h264 video. I have tired receiveVideoFPS method of netstream with value 1 and 2 but it is not giving the correct result.In wowza server i tired recieveVideFPS with value -3 and it is giving the correct result as i want but after some time flash player crashes in all the browsers and in air too.

I ran into an interesting problem and I am unable to find an answer to this.Here is the issue.I encoded a file into .flv format. When I stream the file using RTMP protocol, it streams fine. However, if I change the name of the file ( I can explain why I need to do this, but assume that's part of what I need to do in our product) by appending a string, it fails to playback properly ( note:  I modify the playback URLto match the new filename).Example:rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv2 changes to makea) change the filename to sample_mystring.flv in the content folderb) playback rtmp://localhost/vod/sample_mystring.flvit does not playback the video.I am scratching my head, because this is not an expected failure. I am left to wonder if the video player ( in this case FLVPlayer) or the RTMP protocol is requiring the original filename in the stream for it to playback.I am not familiar with the protocol or its inner-workings, but I hope someone here has some experience or thoughts to help

How many number of CPU cores Flash Media Server 3.5 supports?

I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to copy a recorded live stream to a new drive on the server?  I can copy the file within the virtual app directory but not to another drive.The only solution i found was to edit the application.xml:<StreamManager>        <StorageDir>e:\Sync\</StorageDir>    </StreamManager>But unfortunately i need to rename the file once its recorded, and i'm having a hard time accessing that drive/directory where the file is located.Any help is greatly appreciated.thanks
