Media Server (read-only)

Hi everybody,Please help me on a confusion, which is:1) I am calling the checkBandwidth() method of FMS for a client.2) It calls back the onBWDone method client side with four parameters, first parameter as bandwidth, second and third not used and fourth as latencyMy request is that the Bandwidth value recieved is what kind of bandwidth:Is it the total bandwidth available to the client and includes upBW as well as downBWoris it just the Down bandwidth available of the clientRegards,Sahil.

I am playing with the settings, but so far with all settings I am finding the audio and video going on of sync around the 3m30s range.  As time goes out the audio and the video sync gaps widens.  I am using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 and Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5 (Development).Server is installed on a VM with 8 GB of RAM and 4 cores.  It is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 on it, that also houses a wordpress website that draws off of IIS7, but the website is on port 8080, not 80.  The strem seems to work, but turning off the WWW service or not the results are the sameNot sure if it matters, but around the 14 minute mark the stream seems to lock up in buffering, and never unsticks.Suggestions?

I was tasked with updating the Adobe FMS Interactive Server 4_0_2 running on CentOS 5.8 64 -bit. What version will the new software key work with is it the Adobe Media Server 5 Professional?Will my key work from the Interactive Server 4_0_2 or will I need to purchase a new one?

Does the Flash Media Streaming Server need to know the client's IP address in a load-balanced environment?  We will be doing straight-forward hardware load balancing -- we are not architecting the cluster for communication between Flash Media Servers.We're trying to determine whether we need to configure the hardware load balancer to use SNAT to preserve the original client IP, which for us has ramifications about subnet choices for both the LB and server.Thanks!

Hello!I m working with a customer that uses FMS.Hardware Configuration:Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           L5420  @ 2.50GHz, 8 cores16 GB RamConnection: 10 Gbps - Fiber Network CardWe use this server as replication, and the problem is related to the performance.The FMS Admin Console, display Flash Server CPU Usage near to 100%, when reach 4000 connected users, using only 2 gbps of connection.On this way, the live streaming, start to frooze.I try to adjust using the tunning guide from FMS 4.5 manual but make no visible effect.I m wrong, or this server could handle much more users than 4.000?Where can I found a good tune guide for FMS?Your help is much appreciated!Thanks,Rafael

Hi thereAm having an issue with Http dynamic live streaming, whereby the stream will not snap to the live point, despite calling the stop() action on the PlayTrait of the MediaElement. Instead, upon resuming playback the stream restarts from the point in the stream at which it was stopped - effectively acting as a pause of the stream, and continues to play. After checking at runtime, the Media Element does not have the DVRTrait, so I am not sure how this DVR like functionality is actually occuring?I have checked the manifest file (see below, with baseURl removed) and the dvrInfo parameter is not present, as is suggested in the documentation http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Live_ DVR_Rolling_Window_for_HTTP_dynamic_streamsFrom the documentation, the 'snap to live' functionality is meant to be as default, however this does not seem to be the case. Are there any other parameters that need to be configured, either on the FMS side, or in the code for the OSMF

Hello all,I am new to video streaming. I have sound knowldge of PHP/Mysql but sadly I can't get my self up adn running with streaming. My questions are:1. What are the areas I should no to get started developing applications? It seems to confusing on where to start? 2. Media servers and server side scriptings are running in parllel how I can integrate them? For example if I am providing protected access to streams how I can communicate with Adobe Media Server? 3. Should I learn any specific language or standard to be able to work on on-demand and live streaming?Thank you

I wanted to confirm some steps in order to stream Live Audio from FMS to a mobile device using HTTP Streaming and HTML 5 audio/video tags.  I have a system setup like below:Lets say my application which recieves the live audio is called CLASSROOM.Lets say my application instance is called "TEST"So I have application code like:In "onAppStart()"this.broadcast_live_stream = Stream.get("f4f:livestream");this.broadcast_live_stream.liveEvent = "TEST";this.broadcast_live_stream.record("record");To play the incoming audio:application.broadcast_live_stream.play(streamName); // name of the stream sending audio to the serverThus, I have a folder:Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\CLASSROOM\streams\TEST\livestreamwhich contains a bootstrap, control, meta, f4f, and f4x files.Since I specified the Event name as "TEST", I also created the folder: Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\TESTWhich contains event.xml:<Event> <EventID>TEST</EventID> - <Re

We have a weird issue when we open some big videos on IOS.The video are longer but the IOS open it up to 1h:11m:52secOpening the video using http on reagular player everything works ok.Is there some default value to change in manifest or server to let the player open the file to a longer duration?regardsRos

Hi,I have testing jithttp module. The original length of this video is 1 hr 30 min, but when I tried to stream this video using jithttp module I was able to play only 10 min.I tried another video (Sintel) and it also played only 10 min.Can you please explain why jithttp module generates wrong manifest or what's the root cause of the problem?Does jithttp module has some limitations regarding length of the video?LoadModule jithttp_module modules/mod_jithttp.so<IfModule jithttp_module><Location /hds-vod>    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true    HttpStreamingContentPath "/file"    JitFmsDirPath ".."    HttpStreamingJITConfAllowed true    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks</Location></IfModule>Thank you

Hello,Is there an automated install function to AMS 5.0.1 installer?  I haven't found anything in the documentation, yet.Thank you,Eugene

I have an active AMS server that is receiving input from another computer running Flash Media Live Encoder. The AMS server then provides a feed using the livepkgr application for consumption through a JWPlayer on a ColdFusion page. Is it possible for ColdFusion Server to somehow hit the AMS server and find out if there is an active / published stream or not?Ideally, I'd like to build a page that automatically displays the JWPlayer when there is a livepkgr feed that is published / active and hide the JWPlayer when the AMS server is not serving any active streams. We are standardized on ColdFusion server so any direction or even CF code that will help me ping the AMS server for that info would be appreciated.Thanks!Rick

Everytime i try to get info from shared object server side i get a error(SERVER SIDE)this.usernamesSO = SharedObject.get("db",true);var m = this.usernamesSO.data.usernames   Server gives me this error36: TypeError: this.usernamesSO.data has no properties????

Hi!I am using JWPlayer with FMS 4.5 on Window Server 2003. I have used Apache as webserver.I have continuously received client reports, saying that when they are streaming video, occasionally the streaming fail and receive the following error message on the player:"Server not found: rtmpt://xxxx.xxxx.xxxx:80/vod"Our original design is to use rtmp with port 1935 for streaming only; at the same time since Apache is default bind to port 80, thus in the fms.ini, we have set the "ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT" to "1935" instead of the default setting "1935,80". However, the aforementioned problem occur occasionally. According to the client, restarting the streaming server firewall rule can temporarily fix the issue, but later the problem reappear and they are now seeking a permanent method to end this problem.Could anyone help me on it?Thanks so much!!!

Hi,I would like to stream a live for iPad for example. I suppose I need to do it with HLS.1 - how can I send the stream to the server ? Is it possible with Flash Media Encoder ?2 - How can I configure FMS for HLS ?My FMS is already configured to switch between RTSP and HTTP if client ports are not open for RTSP. Is it enough ?Thanks,Manuel

I'm running FMS 4.5 with the built in Apache server on a Windows 2003 server running SP2.  Our users are complaining that embedded videos in Chrome aren't displaying properly because the SWFs and some of the non video content are being delivered over http instead of https.  I'm having trouble finding any documentation on how to add an SSL cert to the Apache server and enabling it to serve content over 443.  I've requested my cert and am following my CA's docs on adding the cert to Apache, but I'm not seeing the VirtualDirectory referenced in the httpd.conf file.  I'm relatively new to Apache configuration, so please include as much detail as possible in your answer.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

as title...thanks so much

we are using FMS 4.03over a 2-4 day period or RAM usage goes from after reboot 15% to 90%the server has 32Gb of RAMwe have many people streaming from the serverhow can I reduce RAM usage without compromising stream qualityany suggestions?

After a live stream is over I've had requests to burn/copy the recorded stream to a DVD but the video is recorded into multiple .f4f segment files.How can I package all the sgemented stream files into a single file so it can be burned to DVD for playback?Thanks,Dave

What the purpose behind creating smaller individual segmented stream f4f files instead of just creating a single large f4f file?If I removed the SegmentDuration and DiskManagementDuration parameters from the event.xml file so I can create a single f4f file, would there be any issues with streaming or performance?  <Event>  <EventID>cfhs</EventID>  <Recording>        <SegmentDuration>400000</SegmentDuration>    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>  </Recording></Event>TO<Event>  <EventID>cfhs</EventID>  <Recording>          <FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>  </Recording></Event>

I am running the developer version Flash Media Server 5.0.1 (Windows) on a x64 Amazon Web Services small instance VM. The starter AMI for the server was one of the stock AMIs built by Amazon.I have a shiny new license for FMS Professional but not yet applied to FMS.I want to apply the license now and continue running as a small instance until I need more performance. Eventually I will want to gradually and periodically up-size it to increasingly larger AWS instances.Is this possible with the FMS license?Will I have any issues of invalidating the license because the underlying hardware configuration changes?What will I need to do to ensure that I can upsize the same server (not create a new one) without invalidating the FMS license?What other issues should I know about that I am too ignorant to ask?Thanks,Ken

Hi,I have downloaded AMS5 and installed as well, now I just want to know configuration setting of Protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming "PHDS" from "webroot/vod" location and also want to know stream level configuration.what is jit.conf file and how does it work.ThanksRam
