Media Server (read-only)

I thought that FMS3.1 supported f4v files but I cannot get mine to play.  It says it cannot find the stream specified but the file is right where all my other files are that do play fine (both flv and mp4 files).  Am I incorrect in thinking that FMS3.1 supports f4v files or do I have the wrong code?  Thank you.var vidfile = String(playerData.videoName);if (playerData.videoStreamType == "MP4")      vidfile = "mp4:" + vidfile + ".mp4";else if (playerData.videoStreamType == "F4V")      vidfile = "mp4:" + vidfile + ".f4v";ns.play(vidfile, 0, -1);

Hi, I have a HD Camera streaming a live feed through FME 2.5 to FMS 3.0 using the VP6 codec and it works fine. I have now been trying to get the same stream running via H.264 and althogh FME 2.5 connects to the FMS 3.0 server and the stream starts with FMS 3.0 reporting the stream no problem. The Client application crerated with Captivate 3 using Flash Player 9 for publishing no longer dispays the video. Switching back to VP6 works again. Any one have any idea what I should be doing? Cheers

Hello,I'm using FMS 3.5 to record streams to the server as flv files, and would like the ability to directly download those generated flv files. Assuming these files are sitting in my applications/recorder/streams/_definst_ directory, how can I open up this directory to allow direct download via a url? Something like http://<ip address>/applications/recorder/streams/myfile.flv. I'm guessing this is just something that I need to put into one of the configuration files, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this one out. Can anyone help me figure out how to open up my server so that this type of direct downloading is supported?Thanks.

I've spent the past 2 days scouring Google and dozens (easily over 100) websitestrying to find an answer to something that people do every day!I am absolutely shocked that this info is not available anywhere online.A simple FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlayback example....totaly not simple and not possible to find!!I try every possible combination:import fl.video.*;VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;myVideo.autoPlay = true;myVideo.isLive = true;myVideo.isLive = false;myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/videos/flvName.flv";myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/flvName.flv";myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/streams/videos/flvName.flv";myVideo.source = "rtmp://localhost/appName/flvName.flv";none is working!!i did not find any working simple solution for:FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and FLVPlaybackanywere on the webonly for:FMS3 and AS3 and RTMP and Video and NetStreamif someone could bring "salvation" to this required important issuei will be so t

Hi,I'm trying to use NetStreamPlayTransitions.SWITCH to create a multi angle view that switches between video streams. The issue I'm having is that NetStream.Play.TransitionComplete is called only after the buffer for the video before it is used up(this makes sense when using SWITCH to go between bandwidths but that's not what i'm using it for). Is there a way to force this switch before the buffer of the previous video is used up?I've looked into SWAP but I can't really find any documentation on it. What I ideally would have happen is the next video in the array is triggered, that video is buffered and when there is enough to play it the stream switches to that one. SWITCH works really nice because there is no jump in switching when it's played but I just don't want the buffer to play out before the switch.Is there a way of maybe clearing the buffer of the playing video before i call SWITCH so it transitions quickly?

I'm trying to get my video files to stream from my local version of flash media server to my instance of a flex application. I'm able to connect to the server and I'm receiving the NetConnection.Connect.Success code from the server. When I debug the application, I'm finding that I'm getting NetStatusEvent objects with the codes: NetStream.Play.Reset and NetStream.Play.Start. And the info object's details property is "sample.flv" which is the video file that I have sitting in my "FMSTesting" applicaiton folder. So my video is in my application folder at: "rtmp://localhost/FMSTesting/sample.flv", and my Flex application outputs to the webroot of the flash media server "http://localhost/FMSTesting/bin-debug/FMSTesting.html"So I'm not sure if my setup is wrong or not, but I think it's ok because I can connect to the server just fine. I just can't get my stream to play on the Video object. Here's my code, please help if you can. I also attached the code<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8

Hi thereI'm a newbie to Flash media server and I would like to explore its usage.Does any one have experience with Flash Media Server 3.5.3 running on Windows Server 2008 R2? I installed FMS on my Windows Server 2008 R2, but the admin console cannot start.By the way, I installed FMS on a Windows Server 2003 32-bit machine. And I'm able to use the admin console on Server 2003 to connect to the Server 2008 R2 installation.Also, I have a separate disk that is used to hold the media content to be streamed via FMS. How can I configure FMS to use that disk as root for media file instead of using "c:\program files (x86)\...\webroot\vod"Thanks very much in helping me to start the project.Best RegardsSteve Yau

Hi,Please does anyone know if it is possible to place or insert text on live video stream using the FMS?Whether with any solution or plugin.Please help if you got this working.I am a web radio broadcaster and would like to have information on the screen like the station's phone number instead of having to keep reading it out all the time.Thank you.

Is there a simple to understand (guide for dummies like me) that will give step by step instruction on how to stream live video using FME and FMS on the same computer? Thanks to anyone who can help by either pointing me in the right direction or explain.

Hello Everyone,I have been working on Flex for a long time now , i am working on some stuff which needs to play audio/video contents on video player.as a static files be it flv's or mp3's i could play them easily and so on the rtmp.but is there any way i could stream dynamic content (audio/video) which are not FLV's or which are not on rtmp.I guess the Flash Media Server does help changing such streams to convert it to play it in FLash PLayer.but my question is , is there any way we could play dynamic streams in Flash player without using Flash Media Server.I feel the answer for it is NO, but am just not sure so , I hope the experts here answer and make it sure for me.Thanks, and i appreciate any help.

Hi there all.I'm pretty new to FMS (how many times have you heard that?) and I've managed to get a local version up and running no problem.Now I've tried to get it to work on a public address and am having no luck.The site is http://fms.learninglounge.com which runs a simple xml playlist.  When you hit one of the icons the rtmp link is displayed.  I have tried many different links but I think it should be:src="rtmp://learninglounge.com:1935/vod/media/LearningLounge/videos/VSD/VSD01.flv" orsrc="rtmp://212.227.136.196:1935/vod/media/LearningLounge/videos/VSD/VSD01.flv"In the admin console, in server information I have name: learninglounge and server: learninglounge.comI also have LearningLounge folder structure in the FMS install directory.As I said if i runsrc="rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/media/LearningLounge/videos/VSD/VSD01.flv"  from the server it works fine.I have also made sure that port 1935 is open too.  Can anyone please help me?Regards,Rob Johnson

Hello Adobe Support,I've called in several times this morning into "1-800-833-6687", then navigated the phone system to "Other Adobe Products" and I keep getting hold music for 15+ minutes.  I eventually hang up at that point.  How can I get a hold of Support to open an incident for Flash Media Server?Thanks,-Costin

Hi All,We've upgraded our production servers to 3.5.3 on Windows 2008, and now I'm seeing a lot of "NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW" statuses in our client app's log.  The server is streaming a very low bandwidth live video/audio stream, and the client has more than plenty of bandwidth to play it.  The stream doesn't exhibit any audio drops or skipped frames, and there are no message drops on the server side.  We have had clients complaining of random disconnects.  Does anyone know why I might be getting this message?  If anyone from Adobe could help with this, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Thank you.Best,-Costin
