Hi.I'm developing an auth module for FMS and wondering if there's a way to pass a custom reason string to client in case the specific event (e.g. E_PLAY) is not authorized. Tried passing a message to addDisconnectAction(), but it seems to take no effect, client still gettingEvent:Connection.Rejected, info: NetConnection.Connect.Closed = undefined status = undefinedThanks in advance.

Hello,For a few months, I have been working on an e-learning project (a videochat/videoconference application).  My application has been developed with Flex 3 and AS3 and I have been using Influxis FMS services. My Flash Version is 10..0.32.18.You can see an example at this URL: (select Admin or User)http://escale.net/demoThe only problem that I have to solve is with the audio (not video). Sometimes my connection comes choppy and after few seconds the latency will grow over 4 o 5 sec on the client side only and never at the same time on the network. The only way I found to reduce this delay is to close connection on client side and reopen it. Of course this is not an elegant thing to do 😉 Do you have an idea ?My network is located in Canada and Influxis is located in Texas.  Do you think this is the problem ?Thank you very much for your help.Regards.Bernard Huot

Hello!Is there any way to connect Java servlet to FMS?I would like to send comand from servlet via HTTP to FMS?(Something like communication to Flash media server using administration API)The best way for me would be connecting (writing) to SharedObjects, but I would be happy with any connection at all.(I read some about ColdFusion, but there would be too much modification on my servlet.)There must be some simple way, but I just can't figure it out. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you.Dejan

Please tell me the max. no. of connections (streams) provided  licence version of Flash media server.

Why can't (or better yet) you kill client stream from server side - I seen some code that FME may call on server sidelike  s= stream.get(streamOBJ.name);s.play(false);delete s; application.gc(); // over kill but still did not workI was thinking this would work by it didn't -What am I missing?Thanks

Hi,     I'm trying for making out application for vod.     I want to know how a user can make his file readable by the AMS for vod when file is at different PC and AMS( includes swf and HTMl files) is at different PC.

I am having problems recording audio in FIMS 3.5. About 20% of the videos recorded appear to fast forward part way through the video. I understand this occurs when there is lag between the audio and video that is sent from the client to the FIMS server. I have tried setting the parameters in the <RecBuffer> section of the Server.xml file to sufficiently high values to offset the lag but the problem is still occurring. Are there any other areas I should be looking at to solve this issue?

Hi there, Does anyone knows if it's possible to write some bytes received from an AIR or Flex client in a server side file using the File class ? I have been trying for hours without any result.My goal is to store on the server side a swf file sended by a client in a ByateArray.Here is the code I have ended with, assuming that myfile.swf alreadey exists on the server prior to the code execution, and is at the right place, and that pBytes is a ByteArray received from the client which contains a swf file :function writeFile( pBytes ){     var myFile = new File( "myFile.swf" );     if( myFile.open( "binary", "write" ) )     {            for( var i = 0; i < pBytes.length; i++ )            {                 myFile.writeByte(  pBytes );&

We have several small websites, some with limited php and some with small mysql databases and we are planning on running Flash Media Server as well all on one RedHat server.I have installed the FMS and apache as per default installation and all is working ok I see the sample videos and have added some of my own videos.

Need some help, I'm looking for the very least expensive host or CDN to host and stream from (live & on-demand) using FMIS 3.5 and related flash servers. Can anyone provide the cheapest place to host and CDN from? I willl consider both Adobe or Wowza.. but ideally want Adobe.Also, many cheaper hosts or CDNs use Wowza, i'm wondering if you have any major pros vs cons type comments about going with Wowza?Thanks in Advance!

Flash Live Media Encoder claims that it can encode video from a firewire connection.  Does it also encode audio from the same firewire connection?  I've been told that past versions encoded video only.  Can someone clarify this for me?  Thx.

Is it possible to use the FMS2 plugin for eclipse I found on the internet with version 3.5 of FMS?Or will it give to many errors, because coding has changed?

Like the title says: How to communicate between different apps on 1 server?I'm new to FMS and I'm trying to build a program on which I need to have communication between 2 or more apps on the same server.How to do that?

Hi,I've installed Red5 Streaming Server at the moment on a site that streams large high quality flv files.Were having issues with the streaming quality in certain cases. The video becomes jumpy and stop/starts.Other video sites are running without issue. Were looking into the benifits of FMS over Red5 and if it will improve things.The site is tourtripper.com. The server is a dedcicated server with Rackspace. We are also looking into moving to a cloud setup to see if this will help improve things. We would like to test FMS but there doesnt seem to be any trial option?Any help would be greatly appreciated.TksALan

Many of the cheaper hosts or CDNs use Wowza, i'm wondering if there are any major pros vs cons anyone can list related to using Wowza or FMIS?I would ideally like to go with a FMIS solution but as i said the cheapest hosting options seem to be based on Wowza.. wondering if there is anyone out there with some good advice on this topic.Thanks in advance

How do I change the port from 80 to 1935? I am using server 2008.

Hi,I'm trying to setup multiple VHosts on one physical server and have followed the documentation here http://livedocs.adobe.com/fms/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000205.html.I now have 3 folders server1.mydomain.com, server2.mydomain.com and server3.mydomain.com in addition to _defaultVHost_. All have their own seperate application folders and I can only see the applications assigned to each one available under the applications tab as it should be.The problem is when I log in to the administration console for one of these domains and navigate to manage servers e.g.for server1.mydomain.com it shows 4 vHosts listed under it (server1.mydomain.com, server2.mydomain.com and server3.mydomain.com and _defaultVHost_) as though it has logged into the root server.  Is there a way of making sure it logs only into one vHost and can only manage that vhost (eg. restart that vHost and none of the others)?Cheers

I have multiple questions, but I feel I would make more sense to explain my intentions.I have a video player with a playlist written with AS3, along with an .XML settings file to edit the playlist.  I can successfully play rtmp:/ streams from my FMS server on the video player.Though, I would like to use dynamic streaming using the dynamicStream.smil file with my existing video player/playlist.  Is this a proper approach for what I am trying to achieve?Lastly, I have been unsuccessful taking the snippet code from the FMS, Dynamic Streaming sample page, and using it within an HTML document.  I assumed all I would need to change were the paths to where the rtmp:// video file, .smil, and the video player files were located on the FMS.  Any ideas?Any help will be greatly appreciated.Using: Linux, FMS 3.5, CS4
