Media Server (read-only)

Hi, all, I have the following problem: I want to know, in a server side script, what URL is requested by the client. I've read the documentation on the Client class for server-side actionscript, but the Client.uri property only returns rtmp://localhost/vod. I would need a property or a function that returns rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:myFile.mp4. In other words, I don't want to reveal the name of the file the client requests, I would like to call rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:34.mp4, or something like that. I would like then to write a server side script that takes the id (34 in this case), initiates a connection to http://localhost/getPath.php via a LoadVars object, thus obtaining the actual path of the movie. Then, the same server side script would somehow need to redirect the client to that path. Any ideas how that may be done? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I can reproduce a crash of the core when using File.list() (with or without a filter function, it does not matter) The problem appears after calling the function several times, not the first time. The directory I list just contains some .flv files. Calling list() in a loop makes the error appear earlier. ulimit -c unlimited does not help. (I was suspecting lack of file handles or alike) Has anybody else experienced a problem with File.list() ? Crashing it several times seems to point to JS_SetElement() in all core dumps I produced. OS: RHEL4 (32bit) or CentOS5 (64bit), it makes no difference.

Is there a way to convert pre-recorded Video/Audio (.avi, .mov, .wmv, .mp3 etc..) files to FLV? The video/audio files converted will be able to be streamed back from Flash Media Server. Does Flash Media Serve 3.0 / Flash Encoder 2.0 provides this feature?

Hi, I'm a newbie to FMS. I want to create a voice/video chat (currently working with AS2) and therefore need to install FMS. My provider doesn't have it installed on his machines and seems to have no intention of doing it either. My question is can it be installed on a home machine (kept running 24/7) and be used by people visiting the website voice/video chat I'm creating? If so, how do I go about doing it, with IP's and all? Thanks, Tatiana

Hello! For our universities broadcaststudio, we are planning to install a FMS system for HD/SD live input. Could you pls. give me some advice, if this system could work, before we are going to buy the components? Thanks in advance!! OS Windows Server 2008 Standard, QuadCore Intel about 2,33GHz, 2GB RAM Video CaptureCard Osprey 700HD FlashMedia Encoder 2.5 FlashMediaStreaming Server Is it possible to use the CaptureCard, Encoder 2.5 and FMS on one Computer? Thank you for your help!

We have an FMS 2 application that we are getting ready to port to FMS 3. It works on the development server, which I understand, is full featured like the Flash Interactive Media Server. Since our customers are primarily K-12/colleges, and our application only streams very low quality audio we would like to suggest that our customers purchase the cheaper FMS Streaming Server 3. The question: Is there a way to make our Flash Media Development Server act like Flash Media Streaming Server with out purchasing a license, in order to test application compatibility? We don't want to have to purchase the streaming server only to find out it won't work and then pay another $3,500 in order to upgrade to FMS Interactive, when we could just pay $2000 to upgrade our existing FMS 2 license to FMS Interactive.

Hi All! I will be happy if you can show or send me some extended information about FMS3 C++ plugin development. I spent a weeks in search of any documentation or information, which can help me more than " Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server Plug-in Developer Guide". It's guide don't include any example of communication between FMS script framework and fms plugin framework. Only description of 3 plugins without any information about "how plugin works". Thank you in advance!

Can someone please advise on how to create a timeout to a FMS Live stream when using the FLVPlayback component in Flash. The FLVPlayback connects to a FMS Live stream that takes a live feed from a webcam, in order to preserve clients bandwidth, what would be the best, most reliable way of creating a timeout and disconnecting the live stream after a set period of say 30 minutes to stop clients leaving the stream permanently connected - server side on FMS (how?) or in the .swf or using code in the web page containing the .swf object. Many thanks.

Hello, Over the last couple of weeks I have been developing a custom file plugin to enable FMS to work with our in-house, proprietary asynchronous file system. Every now and then, when playing multiple streams, I experience a complete playback halt, all streams stop playing, yet my plugin seems to still be running. How can I debug the server (using GDB doesn't seem to do the trick) or enable high verbosity levels, to try and determine who is at fault? Thanks, Gilad

Hi. I am .net developer. Currently I am developing a website similar yourtube. Each user can upload some media files (avi and other formats) to the server. On server side I must convert them to flv format in order FMS 3.0 can stream them. Question: Which .net component can I use to convert a video file to flv? I don't plan use of any free products for it. I need in a high quality and good support. Thanks.

my english is not good.sorry. i'm read the Server-Side ActionScript Language Reference for Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server to find out one Event to use in undermentioned Example Example The following server-side code sends a message to the client: application.broadcastMsg("testMessage", "Hello World"); The following client-side code catches the message and outputs "Hello World": nc = new NetConnection(); nc.testMessage = function(msg){ trace(msg); }; it is used good in as2 but in as3 i can't find a addEventListener to receive "testMessage" who can help me?

Here is a list of my processes after installing fms2. If you look you will see that fmscore is <defunct>. My question is, is this natural for the fms server? A process is considered <defunct> if it has no associated to the parent process that started it. Does this have something to do with the way fmscore receives requests from the edge server? 9988 0.0 0.0 ./fmsmaster -console 0 21 3908 S 00:00:14 0 10009 0.0 0.0 /opt/macromedia/fms/fmsedge -edgeports :1935 -coreports :19350 -conf /opt/macromedia/fms/conf/Server.xml -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -name _defaultRoot__edge1 0 23 4256 S 00:00:12 0 10017 0.0 0.0 [fmscore <defunct>] 0 24 0 Z 00:00:00 99 10139 0.0 0.0 ./fmsadmin -console -conf ./conf/Server.xml 0 24 5060 S 00:00:14 0 13686 0.0 0.0 [fmscore <defunct>] 0 24 0 Z 00:00:00 99 18291 0.0 0.1 /usr/sbin/httpd 0 21 8176 S 00:00:00 0 18295 0.0 0.1 /usr/sbin/httpd 0 23 10064 S 00:00:00 48 18296 0.0 0.1 /usr/sbin/httpd 0 24 9956 S 00:00:00 48 19947 0.4 0.1 /usr/

We have FMS3 and I needed to serve flv's from a different directory than the default vod directory. First I created a new application (new_app) and set the source directory to be the directory I need it to be, a directory called "bcflash" inside my website. When I put an flv file into the bcflash folder and attempt to play it with the vodtest.swf sample file, I get a connection error. If I copy the file to the main vod/media folder it plays fine. After I have played it from the vod/media folder, it plays fine from the bcflash folder. I thought maybe the source directory needed to be inside the new_app directory as with vod/media, so I changed the new_app source directory to be inside the new_app directory, which is under FMS3/applications. So now, when I put an flv file into the source directory it plays the first time. Great. But... I need to create subdirectories inside the new_app/media folder to organize the flv files. This SEEMS to work in the vod directory, but seems NOT to wor

hy I have been looking through the flash media server documentation and searching though the forums and i have gotten confused, my problem is that i want to build a multiplayer game similar to club penguin and habbo hotel however i have found different ways of creating the game, question is which one should i use for best in security, reducing lag, easy to modify and add new stuff, easy to create, etc. i have found two ways i could possilby do it Way 1 I make seperate swf such as inventory, player, weapons, etc and import then use the loadmovie function to bring it all together into 1 fla Way 2 I make everthing on one fla such as inventory, player, etc however i think this way will be hard for me to update and add new stuff such as armour, etc if there is any other way or the ways i suggested to created the multiplayer game which has high security, reduces lag, and i can easily add stuff such as armour, plz enlighten me with your knowledge thank you in advance

Now that AS3.0 client side script is more strongly typed, it appears you cannot dynamically add a callback function as in the following example. I've tried using a Responder in the client code and it didn't work. The code compiled and ren but the callback wasn't invoked. // Sever side... var myShared = SharedObject.get("foo", true); myShared.send("doSomething", "this is a test"); // Client side connection = new NetConnection(); connection.connect("rtmp://www.macromedia.com/someApp"); var x = SharedObject.getRemote("foo", connection.uri, true); x.connect(connection); x.doSomething = function(str) { // Process the str object. };

Dear all, I have a problem with a SharedObject remote and flash media server (I'm using Flex). I have to store a custom class in a sharedObject, so I implemented the IExternalizable class in my custom object then I stored it on a ByteArray object. I stored this ByteArray on a remote Shared Object, but when I try to retrieve this data, I receive the error of type coercion failed. Does anybody how I can solve this problem?

Hi, I am newbie for flash,I have installed FMS 3 on RHEL 4.Everything went well still now.but when i open localhost in my browser to check the sample flv and mp4 files in FMS3 my browser says its loading.....and it remains dumb.Has anyone tried how to resolve this..i tried disabling firewall and adding ports 1935 and 1111 as trusted services and unable to see the playback.... Then i copied the vod directory(having vodtest.html,swf and .js file to apache directory(/var/www/SER_TEST/)..and after this if i open the vodtest.html on another system in the same network then after pressing "GO" in vodtest.html it says "ConnectionError",suppose if the other system(i tried on WIN XP) has Flash Media Server 3 installed on it..it plays without any problem...i am unable to debug why this dependency is occuring..am i missing something..?????

Hi, I'm hoping that someone is able to do this. I'm looking for a live video player, doesn't have to be fancy I just need a a few simple functions. I don't know anything about Action Script or Flash; this is why I am looking for someone to create one for me. Please contact me at amacherandy@yahoo.com. Thanks, Andy

Hi there. I have FMS 3 installed and have successfully managed to stream from a client to the server and using the sample code I can watch my stream and it all looks good. However I have very little knowledge of flash and now I'm stuck. I would like to be able to stream my live feed within a .flv file. Please could someone give me a hand on playing the live feed within my flash movie. It just needs to be as simple as watching the feed. no controls etc etc. Almost as if its a web cam. Thanks in advance Tom

Hello, I'm new here.. I want to buy Flash Media Interactive Server but need some advise. I want to offer Live streaming Pay Per View broadcasts. Can anyone recommend a good Script that will integrate with Flash Media Server? Or.. can you at least point me in the right direction to find a good script that can accomplish this? I have searched the internet high and low and I can't find much out there. I want a script I can buy.. I dont want to sign up with some service that makes me pay to use any type of pay per view services. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
