Media Server (read-only)

Hi,We have a dedicated server running our website. It is windows 2003 server r2 standard edition and has IIS running.I have installed FMS 3.5 on the server but could not connect to the server from internet.I was just trying to access sample.flv from vod/mediaI am using a flex application in client machine which plays the videos on the server through rtmpI used rtmp://server_ip/vod/sample.flv for the video player in flexalso tried with rtmp://server_ip:1935/vod/sample.flv, but got the "Connection Error"The sample.flv runs well in the server. Using the default settings of FMS o our intranet server, I could see the videos.Please suggest me if i am missing any settings.

Hi,my issue is that there is a long delay before we can see the begining of the video when we connect to the server from a long distance.when I connect from the same subnet, it's ok : less than 1 second.when I connect from a place near (2 km from here) the delay is 15 secondswhen people connect from places very far, it can be 2 mn or sometimes the video doesn't play at all.is there a parameter to change for that ?thanks for help.

Hi Everybody,I have a continuous video of a finish line of a race, let’s said a 1.5hrs video, also I have a device that provides me the exact time when the athlete crosses the finish line. I want to make a web page where the participants of the event are able to watch its own video (this is a segment of the whole video).I have been reading about Flash Media Interactive Server, Flash Media Streaming Server and Flash Media Encoding Server and do not have idea of which version will I need. Also I read about the NetStream.play() method, but I want to know how it will work. Suppose that I want to show a segment that begins 360 seconds from the beginning. And the clip should last 1 minute.Thanks in advance

Hello, I have a server in Israel with Flash Streaming server installed. If I'll buy another server and host it in the US, what do I need to do in order to broadcast from it also. 1. Do I have to broadcast twice from the source or can I broadcast to one server and it will pass the stream to the other? 2. Do I need to purchase another FMS license? Thanks.

I have server A, B and C.  Broadcaster connects to A and sends a live stream.  This is republished to B.  When I republish A to C, the stream to B stops but does not disconnect.  What do I need to do to use multipoint publishing to send the stream from A to B and C concurrently? 

Hi,I have a 2-way video conference running at 640*480, no problem using FCS 3.What I would like to do is have my camera sending out 640 * 480 to viewer but only show at 120 * 90 on the my own screen.Right now both in and out streams are displayed at the same size.// Camera settingcamera.setMode(640,480,15,true);// video settingnew Video(640,480);added to stage using addChild.All code is AS3.Can this be 120,90 in anyway or is there a wrapper i can put this into to resize it?(video width and height are read only.)Any help would be appreciated.Max.

HI, i ran the the tests at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16466 to figure out if i can connect to fms from my network. following are the results: MAC 9,0,115,0 RTMP DEFAULT TimeOut RTMP 80 Success RTMP 443 TimeOut RTMP 1935 Success HTTP Tunneling DEFAULT Success HTTP Tunneling 80 Success but what i would like to know is that: RTMP default fails, but rtmp 1935 succeeds, is n't rtmp 1935 the default? also, does the above tests actually send rtmp traffic before confirming that port 1935, or any other port is open for rtmp traffic or they just open a tcp connection and return? so a basic question is: how reliable are the above tests and if the tests use AS2 code or AS3 code running inside my browser? thanks, Sunil

Hi everyone, I want to know if there is a way to use two differents implementations of a File IO Plug-In. I am pretty sure that it is impossible to switch between two FileModule.dll, because they are loaded at server's start. But, is there a way to have two implementations of the IFmsFileAdaptor interface in the same dll, and to switch dynamically from one to the other ? Thanks for help !

Hi,Am looking at multi-bitrate feature of FMIS 3.5, but the current CDN that we are using is still on 3.0. Would multi-bitrate work if I had this configuration? FME (Onsite) -> FMIS (Onsite) -> FMS 3.0 (CDN) -> Flash 10 (Client).From my brief investigation, it seems that multi-bitrate requires direct communication between the client & FMIS 3.5, hence am I right in assuming that the above configuration would not work?Thanks and regards

Hello All:Unfortunately after working for weeks to configure the FMS so it works for our hosting clients, and verifying that it's working properly, after finally purchasing the license and entering it it promptly starts rejecting connections.We purchased a Streaming Server license vs. an Interactive Server license.We're not using any special functionality which I'm aware of which would make the downgrade from the "Development" server to the Streaming Server at all necessary. We're only serving up videos. Nothing fancy.To clarify: what DOES work is using the _defaultRoot_ / _defaultVhost_ / vod ... but none of the other vhosts I've defined work!Example output from fmscheck for a host using the _defaultVhost_ :#Version 1.0.0 r15  #2009-04-14 12:56:37 #Software: Adobe Flash Media Server Check 1.0.0 r15  #2009-04-14 #Fields: date    time        x-event             &n

Hello,I am curretnly attempting to use Flash Media Server, Flash Media Encoder, and Flash CS3 to make a custom swf for the web that viewers can watch the live feed from and have basic play/stop controls. I have followed the helpful information found here, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_live_fms3.html , and have a pretty good knowledge of CS2 so CS3 really isn't that big of an issue but I already have an error.Error: TypeError: Error #1006: addListener is not a function. at live_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()Code:stop();myVideo.isLive = true;function  playVid(e:MouseEvent):void {    myVideo.play();}function  stopVid(e:MouseEvent):void {    myVideo.stop();}function fullScreen(e:MouseEvent):void {    myVideo.enterFullScreenDisplayState();}playBtn.addListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVid);stopBtn.addListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopVid);fullscreenBtn.addListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fullScreen);I have a FLVPlayback

Trying to find out how many servers I would need to support live web streaming for 10,000 users. I am not seeing any numbers on concurrent users support per server, not sure how one buils a service without some of these stats.Thanks

I want to create Audio/video chat application. I have FMS 2.0.4 and XAMMP 1.6 installed on my computer locally. i use the following code to test a connection to the FMS: conn = new NetConnection(); conn.connect("rtmp:/localhost/my_app"); conn.onStatus = function(info) { trace ("Level: "+info.level+" Code: "+info.code); }; but it seems it cannot establish a connection to the FMS server and returned the following errors: Level: error Code: NetConnection.Connect.Rejected Level: status Code: NetConnection.Connect.Closed tried these other codes too on the connect function: conn.connect("rtmp://localhost/my_app"); conn.connect("rtmp://127.0.0.1/my_app"); conn.connect("rtmp:/127.0.0.1/my_app"); conn.connect("rtmp:/my_app"); but still no luck. What seems to be the problem in my configuration? By the way, I tried to disable the XAMMP but stll it cannot establish a connection? Tried to run it in macromedia flash 8 using alt+enter and through the webserver using the publish html

I am running centos 5.2 32bit and I installed FMS 3.0.2 (Tried FMS 3.0.4 also)FMS installed just fine with the -platformWarnOnly flag.My problem is it will not start at all, nothing starts. no logs in the /opt/adobe/fms either, I only get logs in /var/log/messages with the followingApr  8 17:14:48 vid Server[22463]: Process (22463) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.Apr  8 17:14:53 vid Server[22475]: Process (22475) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.Apr  8 17:21:15 vid Server[22733]: Process (22733) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.Apr  8 17:21:20 vid Server[22745]: Process (22745) : shared memory (__FCS__serverstats_) init failed.I also did a ldd on fmsmaster and symlinked "libasneu.so.1 => not found" to the real file, that did nothing.Here are some of the rpms that im pretty sure are needed.[root@vid fms]# rpm -qa | grep compatcompat-gcc-34-g77-3.4.6-4compat-libgcc-296-2.96-138compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26compat

Hello,   I wonder what is the license for videoPlayer.swf out of the box from FMS 3.5? Can I use this player freely on our production site?Thank you,

This one is a little odd. We are getting an echoing - but not from open mics / speakers. It's like the audio is being re-routed into other audio streams and we have no idea why. I'm working through the soundmax drivers now. I'm unable to get any consistent points to determine what is happening, but it is not speakers / open mics. Has anyone else had an echoing - more of a repeating - from microphones? TIA, I've found nothing from my web searches yet. -SR

I am expirmeting with setting up Flash Media Server 3.5.1 (Interactive) on Centos 5.2 (will be runing RHEL5.2 for production). I have several concerns about the security of how the server runs. First of all, in setting a user for the server to run, only the fmscore processes assume that uid, the rest remain as root. Second, the creation of a tmp directory to store pid/sockets/mutexs. This seems perfetly normal, except that the (i assume) fmsmaster process wants it to have 777 for permissions becuase the processes are running as differnet users?These two behaviors seem insecure. At this point in time, I would expect this type of situation not to exist - The communication channel can be secured all you want, but if the server is poorly setup, why bother. Ideally, I want to try to secure the FMS using SELinux, but would like to figure our these more mundane issues.Thanks,Dave

Coud we use the Flash Media Live Encoder as a Web Service installed on another Server (Preferebaly on the Flash Media Server Itself).

Hello Guys, I am playing a video through net stream and its working fine.

Hi All, I'm starting testing on a new video email app. If you have a few minutes to play with it, please let me know if you encounter any runtime exceptions or unexpected behavior. http://www.video-email.org rokrupchenko@yahoo.com

There seems to be almost a complete lack of playback control from FMS. Aside from Playing, and stopping an FLV from server side code, there is almost nothing else you can do. If you play an FLV on the server using Stream.play(), theres no way to pause the FLV??? If I was to stop the FLV, and replay it later to simulate a pause, it doesnt seem there is any way to find the current position in the file to resume from. Is there any way to achieve this on the server side?
