hi - i've been using the F8 video encoder and F8 to create streaming flash video. i was recently asked by a colleague if we should buy into the flash media server. can someone tell me what the benefits of it are and what it will allow us to do that we're already doing with F8 streaming? thanks.

Can anyone help me? I have developed a web application, in which I have developed actionscript to record a voice message from Mic and flv is stored in Local Communication Server MX. Flv is stored but when I want it to play again. I can not. What would be the problem? I am using Flash 8, AS 2. Actionscritpt is: function doPlay () { if (Play_btn.getLabel() == "Play") { // Create input stream in_ns = new NetStream(_root.client_nc); //in_ns.play(numb); in_ns.play(randomtxt.text); in_ns.onStatus = function(info) { // Handle errors and stream stopping if ( info.level == "error" || info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop" ) { while (in_ns.bufferLength > 0 ) { Status_msg.text += "Waiting to clear buffer..." } Play_btn.setLabel("Play"); } } } else if (Play_btn.getLabel() == "Stop") { in_ns.onStatus = null; // Close the stream in_ns.close(); Play_btn.setLabel("Play"); } }

i keep reading that it is not secure to hard code the connection string to the server into my swf. so how can i get the string into my swf without anyone else being able to get it. where do i put it and how do i then get it into the swf at runtime? thanx.

Have read through these forums, several different websites but I am still having trouble with this. I have FMS 2 installed with an application named public with the _definst_ folder under that. I put a test.flv file that I compiled with Sorenson Squeeze in the directory. I made a simple flash swf with the following code in the first frame: nc = new NetConnection(); nc.connect("rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/public/test"); <-left out the IP address ns = new NetStream(nc); my_video.attachVideo(ns); ns.setBufferTime(0); ns.play(ns); Now when I go to the FMS server I see the client connected at 2 as I have 2 windows open. I see the heartbeat in the bandwidth window and in the server log it says Mon 12:48:30 PM: Connect : rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/public/test. So it looks like, to me that the client is connecting and the video is playing according to FMS but I am getting no video. So I am down to either something is wrong with the code or something is wrong with the flv when its compiled. I ha

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this, as numerous calls to Adobe have gone unanswered (no callbacks). I need to either find a product and/or solution that will enable me to convert various video formats (e.g., QuickTime, MPEG, Windows Media, etc.) to Flash automatically as opposed to doing it manually via the Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder or other manual process(es). A good example of the functionality I need is equivalent to how YouTube works: When you upload a video to YouTube, some background process/service runs that takes that video and converts it to Flash, and this is done automatically--without user/manual processing. I need to have a solution that does something like that. Any suggestions/help are/is greatly appreciated.

sometimes fms seems stop itself to respond to connect. from clientside I do a connect and the server doesn't respond to client. server side I see these processes: 4 S root 20552 1 0 85 0 - 16128 - Oct05 ? 00:02:11 ./fmsadmin -console -conf ./conf/Server.xml 4 S root 8410 1 0 85 0 - 9669 - Oct05 ? 00:00:11 ./fmsmaster -console 4 S root 8423 8410 0 85 0 - 24987 - Oct05 ? 00:00:12 /usr/local/fms/fmsedge -edgeports :1935 -coreports :19350 -conf /usr/local/fms/conf/Server.xml -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -name _defaultRoot__edge1 4 S liberotv 8426 8410 0 85 0 - 39002 schedu Oct05 ? 00:00:12 /usr/local/fms/fmscore -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -vhost _defaultVHost_ -app registry -inst -console -conf /usr/local/fms/conf/Server.xml -name _defaultRoot_:_defaultVHost_:registry: 4 S liberotv 17441 8410 0 82 0 - 36145 schedu 11:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/fms/fmscore -adaptor _defaultRoot_ -vhost _defaultVHost_ -app rec -inst _*_966772 -console -conf /usr/local/fms/conf/Server.xml -name _defaultRoot_:_defaultVHos

I'm having problems related to recording stream on server side. Using Stream.get("abc") to get the stream and Stream.record() to start recording and Stream.record(false) to stop recording on main.asc file. After the entire process I can see the .flv file in streams folder, but can't make it to Play that recorded .flv file. If I duplicate the same recorded .flv file on same folder, I can play the copied file. I can only play the recorded original .flv file only if I restart FCS. Somehow its problem related to releasing resources for the stream, Don't know what. Does anyone have clue of what's going on?

So we're trying to set up FMS on a Linux box, and this whole profile thing has been a huge pain. First, the documentation doesn't explain how to switch from 100 users/unlimited to 2500 users/25Mbps. After a week, we *finally* find the release notes page explaining about the profiles existing in the licenses/ dir. Except.... They don't exist! In short, the licenses/ directory where various profiles are supposed to be? Empty. No profiles. On the CD? Nothing. Documentation? Nothing Phone support from Adobe? Well... 20 hours later, nothing. What's going on here? How do I configure FMS on Linux to handle 2500 users when the profiles are nonexistant and noone at Adobe will help? HELP! We've got a major project that's effectively at a standstill, because we can't configure FMS as advertised, and noone can explain what's wrong!

hi all, but i'm having some problems understanding the location of some things in fcs i did a little test with a simpleConnect, and the connectionLight. all named, and the light associated in the simpleConnect properties and specified the rmtp protocol. my app name is is a.swf and is the rmtp protocol is 'rtmp://200.200.200.200/a' and there is a main.asc there. my doubts: - does the directory name created and specified in the rtmp need to be *exactly equal* the app given name? why ? - why do i need the main.asc file in the flashcomm <app name> directory, in my case 'a' directory ? the main.asc contents changes from app to app, is it normal? some i have just a " load( "components.asc" ); " and some i have the application.onConnect, and application.onConnectAccept.... how do i know what i need in there? i can see all the components '.asc' files in the flash comm scriptlib directory, and i suppose they are used JUST when compiling the movie, right? thank you.

I've got a .fla wich works perfectly however if i attempt to copy and paste the exact code and stage objects into a fresh .fla it doesn't work at all.....am i hallucinating or is this a known flash issue?I'm losing my mind ...i should have stuck to php but now i'm hooked on flash...well anyway hopefully somebody can clear this problem up for me.

Any ideas why I WOULD be able to remotely connect to and login to FMS2 using the Management Console but NOT be able to ping the server, restart the server or view any server stats? I always get "Failure attempting to ping Test Server" or "Error requesting stats from the server Test Server". I can also see the list of applications I registered in the Management Console but nothing happens when I try to start them. Server is on RH ES4 Management Console is opened from Windows. Pinging the FMS server manually from command promt works fine. Obviously client apps can't connect to the server apps either.

Hi I am currently running Flash Media Server 2 running on a Windows 2003 SE server. According to the admin console Manage Servers > License > Professional Edition Licenses window I am running with a license set for 100 concurrent users unlimited bandwidth. I need to know how to change this to 1000 concurrent users with 40Mbps cap! I have read various posts on this forum which suggest the below: Change the fms.ini files licensing line as below: SERVER.ACTIVE_PROFILE = 1000-40.pro (or 2500-25.pro or 150.pro) SERVER.LICENSEINFO = FMD200-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX BUT my fms.ini file does not have reference to these licensing lines in it! see below: ########################################################################### # fms.ini contains substitution variables for Flash Media Server # # configuration files. Lines beginning with '#' are considered comments. # # A substitution variable is in the form <name>=<value>. Everything up to # # the first '=' is considered the name

Are there any plans to properly port FMS for Linux? CentOS, which is RHEL 4 and is really widely used: 'root@server [/usr/src/FMS_2_0_2_r51_linux]# ./installFMS ERROR: Your distribution, unknown, is not supported by this Macromedia Flash Media Server installer. root@server [/usr/src/FMS_2_0_2_r51_linux]# ' quote: Supported OS Windows 2000 Server Windows 2003 Server – Standard Edition Linux Red Hat Enterprise Version 3.0 Linux Red Hat Enterprise Version 4.0 Should be both CentOS 3.x and 4.x compliant, no?

Hi, We are just starting out with FMS. Was looking at this article from adobe website http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html Followed all the way, I can see the thumbnails but when the thumbnail is clicked can't see the bigger movie. Why? All, I see is that progressbar shows as if it streaming but nothing happens. I guess it has to do something with paths but I am not sure what because I can see the thumbnails. FMS is installed on a Windows 2003 Server. Would appreciate if anyone could point out sites where there are any tutorials for novices or any examples. Thanks in advance. Apurva

We've just installed Flash Media Server, and we're trying to get a Flash 8 movie to get a stream of it. Server Configuration Standard default installation, nothing here has been changed apart from the location of the applications onto another physical disk. The Admin Console shows a version number of 2.0.3 r68. Test Application The following folder structure was created under the applications folder Test -> Streams -> _definst_ -> In the _definst_ folder we have placed 4 flv files: 2 files encoded with flash video encoder, 1x flv7 and 1 x flv8 2 files encoded with sorenson squeeze. Also tried creating an instance folder called 150k. After every change the server and/or application was restart/reloaded. We have added / updated / changed a file called main.asc that was placed at the same level as the streams folder. This file was taken from the Samples that comes as part of the Flash installation. Issues experienced 1. When trying to import a video using functiona
