hi,I am using Flash media server 3.5.0 in Red hat 5.4. The server seems to running ok but after running for 5,6 days I can't connect to the server. The edge.00.log says2010-02-05 12:32:01 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:32:01 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:37:30 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:37:30 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:37:30 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:41:25 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:41:25 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failed -2010-02-05 12:41:25 3630 (e)2661034 Connect failed ( , 8134 ) : Connect failedAnd i need to restart fms to solve this problem,Is there any particular log file to refer to other than edge.00.log?

Hello Everyone! I followed Tom Green's example on using the FLVPlayback 2.5 components with the DynamicStreamItem class (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_dynstream_fms.html) and I get these errors: ·         1119: Access of possibly undefined property uri through a reference with static type DynamicStreamItem.·         1120: Access of undefined property myVideo BUT, if I remove the DynamicStreamItem.as and DynamicStream.as files from the same folder that my FLA files live it works like a champ.  My next thought was maybe there's another DynamicStreamItem.as and DynamicStream.as somewhere on my PC, because it's pulling in the code from somewhere, right?  I did a search and saw that it also lives in the new FLVPlayback 2.5 component folder, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\Common\Configuration\Component Source\ActionScript 3.0\FLVPlayback\fl\video.  So I also

Hi,I'm running Flash Media Streaming Server on Windows Server 2008 and I need some kind of monitoring solution to ensure the quality of service. I tried searching for some options, but didn't find anything relevant, so I thought I'd ask here. So what are my options to make sure that Flash Media Server is up and running and to get alerts when something is wrong?

Hello everyone,I have successfully installed Flash Media Server and when I was running the sample page(.html), it was working just fine.. I have developed website for video streaming using php language. When i upload the php files into the server, it looks like the server cant read the files, instead of .html files. I have installed PHP5 on that server but the problem was just the same. Besides, I also have seen the FMS is already installed with Apache 2.2. Anyone knows how to solve this? I have struggling for many days..

Dear Adobe Flah Media Server users. We have implement a DVR solution, but a problem remain how can I split DVR f4v file without loss clients from broadcast?It's possible to split file if reach a limit such as 40Gb and create a new file without cuts in broadcast?Best Regards,Sérgio Henrique

I installed FMS 3.5.1 dev version. To add protection on the video content, I followed the topic at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405456.html to set SWFVerification and DisallowedProtocols. SWFVerification works while DisallowedProtocols doesn't work totally. I set <DisallowedProtocols>rtmp, rtmps</DisallowedProtocols> in both fms/_defaultRoot_/_defaultVHost_/Application.xml and fms/applications/vod/Application.xml. All the sampel video can play as usual. I called Adobe tech support number. No one answer my call after long waiting.Can someone help me here? Is there additional setting I have to make? Is DisallowedProtocols only working at commercial version?Thanks,ZhaoBTW, the linux FMS 3.5.1 has the same issue.

Recording an f4v file to FMS3.5, capturing video from a local camera through the Flash Player i'm getting poor quality and small video size - using:cam.setMode(320, 240, 10);cam.setQuality(0,99);Doesn't seem to have any affect on the recorded video, is this due to the cameras native resolution?

Good day.Is it possible to protect the broadcasted content from unauthorized copying users. In the demo version of FMS 3.5 for interactive broadcasting stream audio and video can be copiedby means of such programs as Comtasia. This may not like the content holders. Perhaps there are some instruments of protection.Thank you. Sorry if the subject has already been discussed.

I,am using FMS 3.5 to stream video over internet.This video will be a part of a website www.mywebsite.com . I have the webserver in my company. This webserver has the local LAN IP : 192.168.10.19 which is binded with a public internet ip 212.77.xx.xx .This website is hosted using IIS 6.0 on OS windows 2003 server with SP2I created a swf name sample.swf from sample.flv file and gave it the rtmp address as follows:rtmp://192.168.10.19/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv   (where _StreamingVideo_  is the instance on the server, and 192.168.10.19 is the LAN IP of server) ,and it worked fine and every one within the local company network could see the streaming video. Now i tried to replace this local address with the public address and the address became as follows:rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flvAfter giving this public IP in the rtmp address i,am getting a message "Failed to load Flv from the address rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv" and a

need some help in recording the H.264 video using Flash media server 3.5, does anyone have working experience (or) any idea about H.264 video  recording with the Flash player. I am trying to publish the stream using  the ‘netstream.publish(“mp4:streamname.mp4”);’,  but the video codec id of this recorded video is coming as H.263, hence I tried to record the video  in H.264 format.I am using logitech webcam for capturing the video.Do i need to install anyother codec plugin for h.264 support? Can you please provide help regarding  the above issue?Thanks in advance,Lavanya.

Our company has a Flex application (3.0.2) that is having a problem with audio dropping out in Windows 7.  The problem appears worse with a wireless connection, but it can’t be consistently reproduced there, either.  The only thing known for sure is that the problem has not been seen on any other version of Windows.The application thinks the audio is playing, because it is calling the appropriate event listeners triggered when the audio completes and when any audio cue points are hit.  The majority of our audio is streaming via Flash Media Server (3,0,2,201), but the problem was also seen using embedded sound effects.  In one instance, several clicks of a button triggered an error saying the sound effect could not be loaded, and then about a minute later, all the sound effects played at once and the user could then continue with the application.The problem has been repeated in IE 8, Firefox 3 and Chrome.

FMS Question about streaming from a mounted folder which has sub-folders:I have an FMS running with the following configuration:1. App named video ( duplicated as per instructions here: http://bit.ly/bgGRUI)2. VirtualDirectory set as follows<VirtualDirectory>    <Streams>/;C:\media</Streams></VirtualDirectory3. The folder media has the following structuremedia\movie\genre\1media\tv\genre\2media\web\genre\3example: c:\media\movie\genre\1\sample.flvwhere the path is known to the client, and I just wanted to map the root folder.( this is not yet on the network, just testing locally)4. Here is how I plan to stream the video from the FlVPlayer on the client side.rtmp://localhost/<appname>/<instancename>/<file-path>/fileexamplertmp://localhost/video/mystream/movie/genre/1/sample.flvnote that the suggestion for using instance name for mapped folders came from fmsguru here ()When I try to the play the video, this is what I see:1.

Hi .. I am having a multi user application running in FMS.

How would I do for  others?Any help (on sofware load balancer, configuring fms) will highly be appreciated.Thanks,Karthik.

I am in the market for a good (pro)camcorder to stream live university seminars. Currently I use a Canon Optura Xi with firewire output and use the miniDV tape for backup in case something interfers with the live stream. I want to get away from miniDV tape and find a video camera with SD/flash card recording. My dilemma, most new camcorders do not have firewire output for live recording. We do our live stream through the Adobe Media Encoder. Any suggestions for video camera/ camcorder options for under $4000.?

Is it possible using command line, or a php file to get the duration of an flv file using the flash media server.I used the flvcheck file to fix the meta data, and was using the duration operator but it didn't come up with anything.I am guessing the duration operator just shows if there is errors with this?I hope someone can help me out.Thanks

I am not sure if this post should be here...each time I test my client app, the camera settings (h & w) are different.  Any idea why?  It's a Creative Ultra Webcam.  Ultimately I will be using a Canon XL2 but using the webby for testing.I close the test, and restart it, then the settings are good.

We just found out someone is bouncing a pirated feed off our FMIS 3.5.2 server.So... after months of not having to look at this thing (and not remembering crap about parts of the setup), I'm trying to discover a few things.First is, how do we tell FMIS which vhost allows live encoding?   Second, as I look at the logs and logger.xml, I'm trying to tell how to force it to show the ip's of inbound/outbound traffic.  Think I'm doing the right things to the file, but the log for the application/entry point the pirate is using doesn't show what I believe I configured to be the fields that should show up in the log.   Finally, trying to figure out how to force authentication of media encoders talking to the server.I'm scanning the online help docs, etc. trying to remember all this stuff.... but if anyone can say "look at this page in the pdf, and this page in the online" to affect what I need to do to lock this up quick, the help would be much appreciated.

hi all,i have got this strange problem here.I have built a chat system using FMS.in an environment where my users are using laptops with headsets, they are able to communicate with one another smoothly. no feedback, no echo, no hearing of own voice occur.however, in an environment where my users use IBM cp20 to communicate, they do hear themselves a few seconds after they speak. the thin clients are fixed with sound card and audio drivers are installed properly. we had tested it out with other commercial chat program (msn) but there is no problem with it. users do not hear themselves in the commercial chat program.we had also tried to check the echo suppress in the flash chat program (right click->properties in the flash chat) but it doesnt help the situation much.does anyone out there encounter this problem as well?

ANyone know if it is actually possible to record to the adobe DVRCast application through a browser based flash player and not FMLE?

I am going to buy the flash server in a few months, but I would like to see if any out there has there website set up for this and also doing multiple streaming with it. Does anyone know of any demo sites outt here that show this?
