Hi guys,i got the followin problem: i got 2 instances of fms running, one on a local windows machine and one on a suse server.If i take the main.asc of samples/applications/live and copy it to the folder /applications/live2/ on my local windows machine, restart my fms and log into the fmsAdminConsole i can easily load a new instance of this live2 application. Now i copy the same main.asc file to my suse server and make a new dir /applications/live2/ and copy it there. If i now connect with the fmsAdminConsole to the suse and try to load a new instance of live2 on this machine, it starts loading, but instead of telling me that there are 0 clients connected, it just crashes (unloads the application and sometimes the fms crashes totally).But if i load the "usual" live or vod service it works perfectly.How is that possible?Thanks in advance.

I don't seem to be able to record audio with my microphone to flash media server. Every time I try a 1kb flv file is made, but it is empty when I try to play it back, and basically doesn't work. I didn't install apache server when I installed media server because I already have it installed. Could this make a difference? My code is below. Any ideas?package {    import flash.display.MovieClip;    import flash.net.NetConnection;    import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;    import flash.events.MouseEvent;    import flash.net.*;    import flash.media.Microphone;    import flash.system.*;        public class HelloServer extends MovieClip {                    private var nc:NetConnection;      var myNS:NetStream;      var mi

Help!I have been trying to get some help on this question for a while now..... I have opened 4 support tickets with adobe and the response I get back from them is that they don't support FMS? I can't understand not supporting a product that you sell........My question:Does anyone have an example or can tell me how to access a MYSQL (Question and answer) database using FMS to display text in a dynamic text field?      Any help greatly appreciated!Larry

I'm trying to develop an audio chat room so I downloaded the FMS2 Sample Applications from Adobe - there doesn't seem to be anything more recent that is useful as a tutorial. Anyway, I've got a chat room up and running which is very close to what I want.The problem I am having is that if I connect using Internet Explorer (8.0 on my PC), when I close the tab or even that instance of the browser, the sound continues to feed through to the browser, I've got to close all instances of the browser to kill the sound. I've tried it in Firefox and Safari, they both close the sound stream as soon as the tab/window closes so it's apparently a problem related to IE..Any suggestions on how I can cure this.My sample room can be accessed at http://www.roomtopray.net/joinroom.htm - as you can probably guess from the name, it's a room for religious groups - and I've left a music stream running permanently from one logged in user so you can see the problem.

We have a Flex 3 application which successfully plays back a live rtmp stream via NetConnection and NetStream.However when recording (publishing), it saves to the FMS server.Is there a configuration that will force streams to be recorded locally?

I can no more start or stop FMS3 server, it says : Waiting for another script to finish... According to the start script, i check /home/fms/tmp/script.lck and i have this file as empty, what should i do then ? Do you all have this file ? /home/fms/tmp/script.lck ? Jerome

How can I do to encoder a video using FMS3?Have you a walkthrough?Sorry, but I'm a beginner and I don't understand how work FMS3 to encoding a video.Thankserlucas

Hi:I need to protect my FMS, so that only me (my Username, or IP if its not possible) can start a live stream.I have been reading the pdf on plugin for developers, and i read that the authorization plugin can do this, but it is C++ and i dont know nothing about that, i can understand a little bit, but i do not know how to make the dll i want. Is there another way to do this, my idea is that the server requests a user and password when i want to stream.Thanks

wondering if anyone knows off hand ..in a edge - origin setup .. should the origin show the contections from the edge on it??so when someone contect to edge that shows up on origin ???

The MaxConnections tag in FMS 3.5 vhost.xml is not being honored. FMS is reading the vhosts and creating them, but not honoring MaxConnections. An unlimited number of connections are available to all vhosts. I have tried setting MaxConnections to 0 and connections can still be created. e.g.<MaxConnections>0</MaxConnections>This problem did not exist with FMS 3.0. Can someone confirm this bug for me? I'm running FMS 3.5.1 on CentOS.

Hello everyone, I'm an extreme newbie, and I finally have my videos looping, but I want them to stop looping and cut to a live stream whenever we go live with our broadcast. Can someone go into detail as to the code I need to switch from the looping videos to the live stream? I'm pretty sure it's done with onPublish, but again, I'm a newbie so I need all the help I can get. Here is my main.asc. Thanks in advance! application.onAppStart = function(){ this.clientStream = Stream.get("clientPlayStream"); this.clientStream.play("myfile", 0, -1); application.onStatus = function(info){ if(info.code=="NetStream.Play.Stop") { //do some code in here to restart the stream this.clientStream.play("myfile", 0, -1); } } }

While streaming a live worship service in Flash format, I'll need to archive only the sermon in Flash.  I do not want to handle this in post/editing.  What will I need to make this happen?

There are no apparant problems so far just need an expert opnion.....a side note is I've also noticed an error in the error logs that says its detected a backwards time stamp when recodring... .....whats that all about?....the applicaiton seems fine............using FMS 3.0

We'll be streaming a live basketball event next month and we always get asked about showing the game clock with the video.We have two cameras one can capture the game and the other capture the game clock. Is there a way to overlay the game clock videoon top of the game video?Has anyone done any similar sporting events that can offer any suggestions and/or best practices?This will be our first live Flash Streaming event, we've used Windows Media in the past and just switched to Flash Interactive Media Server 3.5Thanks,Dave

We have been using Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server (version 3.0) since about August 2008, and after some initial firewall related problems got it to work quite well, although not very many viewers yet. In January 2009 we upgraded to version 3.5 as it includes a custom-built version of the Apache webserver, something we found required as some of our clients are behind such heavy firewalls that no streaming at all can be obtained, only progressive downloads. We yet haven't had time to update our own Flash playing software to utilize this feature but will soon. In case it matters, our server is a Dell PE2950 w/ dual 2.33 GHz Quad-Core Xeon E5410, 4 GB RAM and CentOS 5.X (kernel 2.6.18). Anyway, since the upgrade in January we've encountered (approximately) weekly stops in production. Often it happened during a weekend when nobody was in the office to check functionality. First time I thought it was a temporary failure so I just restarted the FMS server process. Second time I got curi

Please forgive me if this question has been asked. I have looked everywhere and I'm just not finding the answer.I'm running the Interactive Flash server 3 and I'm wondering is there a way to give people a user & password to limit who can live stream into the server.I can do this with the Real server and Windows media fairly easily but having problems figuring out how to on the flash server.Currently if you have the Servers IP and the flash encoder you can stream with no Username or password required. I would like to restrict this.Thank you,

Can you add files to a stream on the server so that a client of the stream just sees a continuos stream fo data?

I'm running FMIS and I'm getting a connection error in my video player while connected to a wireless network.Works like a charm when I have a hardwire connection.Is it just because I'm on a terribly slow network? are there some firewall settings on the network that need to be opened for rtmp streaming?Help

I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. To complete the process of streaming video, it appears that I need to obtain a "flash media server URL address" which is called "RTMP" on the encoder page. Where can I find this? Is this something that can be downloaded, or do I have to purchase this from a partner like Level 3 communications, AT&T, etc.? Any information on this would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,Soon we will get a FMS license to run some web games on our websites. The FMS server will be on a dedicated server. We need to have 2 machines like that. the second is a rescue server which will be used in case of trouble with the first one. Here is my question: Can we use one seruial number for these two machines, knowing that only one of those will run (master server OR rescue server)Thanks for your reply JM

dear ALLi am porting customer's FMS 2 to our brand news FMS 3.5 some flash games where user can record some streams.It's all about recording webcam stream.I am having big trouble with deploying applications, that do not load or if load, get write access denied.Unfortunately, all  looks working on  Development server, calling for a licence problem.So what do I actually have with 1089 eur ? a Streaming server that does not even save a webcam?- is it a problem in the way applications have been written?- can' t we use in some way standard signed live application , with some workarounds?any suggestion?best regardsEnrico Neri

Is it possible?I have an external encoder that encodes to MPEG-4/H.264 over RTMP/TCP-IP/HTTP and so on.  It allows client connection through its internal wb server but I want to use it to point to or through the Flash Media Server.  Is this possible?When people make there own flv player are they still using encoding software?by the way this is live streaming.

hi!I have a problem. I want to set up a live streaming experience, where streams will be switched live by a server side application written in .NET. The flash clients will have no control over what stream they want to watch.the setup is such: video streams from two cameras are encoded in Live Encoder. FMS should stream only a single stream to the clients and which stream should be shown should be chosen by a .NET applicationHow do I go about accomplishing such a task? As I understand the FMS uses RTMP to communicate with clients. Are there any other ways to contact the FMS and tell it to switch between two streams, i.e. an XMLSocket connection? This would be perfect since it would integrate with the .NET server perfectly. I do not like the prospect of using RTMP to contact the FMS and tell it to switch between streams. Is it even possible, or can the stream switching be performed only per client?

I am looking to broadcast live video and need a camera that is better than a simple webcam. It looks like they used to make video cameras that would register as webcams, but stopped making them.If you wanted to broadcast an event live, what would be a good camera to use?
