Media Server (read-only)

Right now I do not have “server”. Example: I do not have anything like windows sever 2000, 2003 etc. but I have and running IIS server on the same Windows XP Pro. On this very same machine I installed FMS server with the Apache that came with the FMS. I have read and followed the instructions time and time again in deferent ways to deploy my video on the server but no idea I used is working so my clients could view my videos. Looking forward to have site like “hulu” / "You Tube". Pleaseif you was successful streaming videos, I need step by step information from anyone whom was able to streaming videos to the public on the internet with Flash / Apache / IIS Server running on Windows XP Pro. jos.

Hello, we're running FMS 3.0 on Redhat Enterprise 4.0. Recently we've encountered an issue with remote users (not on our local network) contantly having a video buffer (this will occur every 3 seconds or so, making the video unwatchable).  Our internet connection is 1GB up and 1GB down and we come no where near maxing this out at any time.  These same videos play on campus without issue.  If it helps we're using JW FLV player.  I'm streaming this using the default vod application that ships with the FMS 3.0 (<FMS_ROOT>/applications/vod), and have made no modifications to the fms server as shipped (all default settings are in place).  We've not had any issue with videos taken via a Flipcam and converted to FLV and upoaded into vod and streamed, but videos taken with better equipment and uploaded into vod experience this....  Here's the specs on one of these videos:File Size: 42.4 MBImage Size: 720 x 480Pixel Depth: 32Frame Rate: 29.97  &nbsp

Hello,I am wondering if it is possible to add/inject a cue point to an FLV server-side that has been recorded/published from a users webcam using FMS3.5.Thank you

Hi all,I wish to insert captions into a live flash video stream.I found an example here : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/metadata_video_streaming_print.htmlbut this example uses a Flash client app wich can invoke something likevideo_nc.call("sendDataEvent",null,inputfield_txt.text);How can do this without any Flash client/environment ? (I of course still use an FMS 3.5)I would like to use a python (or php...whatever) piece of code to extract caption from VBI in the incoming video stream and insert it in the flash stream.Any help / experience appreciated.RegardsMichel

Hey everyone, thanks in advance for any help on this. We've recently installed fmss 3, and working with our first site with major streaming needs. I've decided to use jwplayer (longtailvideo.com) to playback content from the fmss, but am having playback issues with IE8. I'm using swfobject to embed, and here's the code:     <script type="text/javascript">     var so = new SWFObject('jwplayer.swf','mpl','600','366','9.0.0', 'expressInstall.swf');     so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');     so.addParam("bgcolor","#000000");     so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');     so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");     so.addVariable('file','video.f4v');     so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://ourdomain.com/application/');     so.addVariable('image','image.jpg');&n

Hi. Does Flash Media Interactive Server support streaming of content NFS-mounted (network file system) rather than local to the server? Thanks.

Like on wowza, is there any way to relay a stream from one FMS server to another FMS server ?

I wrote my first FMS app today, and I copied it into the directory i made for it under 'applications' and it worked fine. So i started to modify it and build it up into what i need it to be, but it doesn't seem like any of my changes are being reflected. I checked the main.asc file and it is the updated version... However when I connect via netconnection it seems like the server is caching the old application. What do I do?

Hi, we are using flash interactive server 3.5 and have just noticed that when flash player upgrades to 10r32 the streaming fails? Is this a known issue and does anyone know if it is specifically a rtmp prob? Any help would be appreciated.Kindest Regards Daran

Hello,Our scenario is that we have an Adobe ColdFusion8 server running a portal application which will serve up SWF content from a FMS3 installation. We need to protect the SWF content from being a) downloaded to a users local machine and b) being accessed without being logged into the portal application.Please correct me here if I am wrong - it looks like the combination of RTMPE + SWF Verification are the minimum necessary, but I am confused as to these other practices and which ones to use (or can be used on FMS and not FMIS):1) Refererr and pageURL check validationOR2) IP Address validationOR3) White list domainsAny suggestions on the best method to accomplish this using RTMPE + SWF Verification + (1, 2, or 3)?Thank you,Steve

Hi, I'm new on FMS, but I've managed to create a web page with an embeded player that shows a live stream that I capture with a webcam and FMS.What I need is to be able to pause the live stream from the web page player and to play it again from the point I've paused it. I thought to stream a live video and save it to a file on the server as well, but I don't know how to tell the player to start from the end of the file rather than the begining of it.The client should connect to the page and see the live stream, but he can pause it and continue watching it later from that point, but if a different client conects, he should see the live stream.....i don't know if i've explained myself well. Please let me know.Thanks

We are running a reasonably high volume live video application on FMS 3.0.2. Every once in a while, a core will completely crash (and restart). Just prior to the crash we get a lot(25-40 times) of the following error in the core log: 2009-03-10 10:24:50 8580 (e)2581279 Assert failed in .\js\jsXML.cpp line 2525 -   2009-03-10 10:24:50 8580 (e)2581279 Assert failed in .\js\jsXML.cpp line 2525 - Hard to debug assertions in the cpp code. Please if Adobe can contact me here or at drguile@inoveo.com We own 3 licenses of FMS3 Thanks for your time

We're planning on purchasing FMS but weren't sure if it's worth purchasing the Interactive Edition. Is the Interactive Edition more for data-driven Flex apps? We saw the comparison chart here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/compare/ but we're still puzzled as to the advantage of the Interactive Edition. Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering what the best way would be to add a delay of about 120s. This is for a videogame shout casting company and in order to prevent cheating we need to make sure that the stream is at least delayed 120s. I need any/all ideas on how to do this. Thank you for your help.-John
