Media Server (read-only)

Here is the documentation for the new HTTP Streaming Failover feature in FMS 4.5.2http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS418c3323187a5d5740d39080135d5593e08-8000.html

I have a live stream running 24/7 via ALME to FMS 4.5 that works perfectly and shows in real-time when viewing on a PC or an Android phone (via RTMP).  But when I view it on an iPad (via HTTP Live Streaming)  all I get is a small chuck (a few seconds) of a video that would have been from many hours before (i.e viewed the stream at 10pm and all I saw was a few-second clip of daylight).I am on a tight deadline to complete this project and am totally baffled with what I am seeing. Any ideas from anyone?

I am running a live stream using Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5, running on a Amazon Web Services EC2 server. I know that there are at least 5 active connections, but when I log into the FMS server admin console, it only tells me that there is one.What options do I have configured wrong?

Hi,from what I gather, when using PHDS, the per-content encryption key is built from the common-key and the content ID (which in PHDS seems to be the filename). When fetching the file manifest (<file>.f4m), a new license is returned every time.When fetching the actual file segments (<file>SegX-FragY), no "session" information or similar is sent. However, the resulting file is never the same between downloads.However, even if the files differ between fetches, it seems that if I cache the segments, serving the same identical segmentes to different users, the different license have no problem decrypting them.Is this something which I can depend on? I.e, I let the manifest requests through every time, so each client gets a their own license. As long as the common-key remains the same, is it safe to cache the segment files, thus allowing us to use regular HTTP caches in front of the FMIS server in order to scale better?The diffs in the segment files, how is this explained? Is th

Hi,I'm playing around with FMIS 4.5 and HDS/PHDS. My question is, how do I perform stream authentication on HDS?For RTMP(E) streams I can have an authentication module, but from my experiments (I cannot find any reliable docs on this), neither the auth module or the file module is used for HDS streams. I guess the apache jithttp module doesn't interact at all with the FMIS modules?Have I missed something, or do I have to use apache access control/write an apache module for this?If so, can I leave FMS (edge/core etc) out all together for streaming HDS content (ie send traffic straight to the apache listen port. It seems to work.)?Thank youJohan

hello, i have studied fms for several months. i use the code as follows:application.onAppStart=function(){     trace("中文");}the live long in fms administration console shows the result : "undefined".what should i do to solve the problem?

Hi,Can FMG make TCP-based SIP calls or only UDP-based SIP calls?Thank you!Sincerely,Greg P.

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WSd391de4d9c7bd6093a7e2f8312a374a1bde-8000.html

Hi,In the documentation of flash media server, in Client class, the parameter "methodName" in "call" function says"MethodNameA string indicating a remote method. The string uses the form "[objectPath/]method". For example, the string "someObj/doSomething" tells the client to invoke the NetConnection.someObj.doSomething() method on the client or remote server. The string "doAction" calls the doAction() method on the client or remote server."As i understand i can add different objects to Netconnection in flex and call the methods of those objects from fms.I tried this way, but it didnt workIn flex code, something like this:var someObject:SomeClass = new SomeClass();netConnection.client = someObject;class SomeClass{     public var otherObject1:OtherClass1 = new OtherClass1();     public var otherObject2:OtherClass2 = new OtherClass2();}class OtherClass1{     public function doSomething()     {  &nbsp

As title.Thanks.

Is there any reason to go larger than a "Large" EC2 FMS instance for live streaming HDS and HLS streams via Cloudfront?  Is it correct that the 100 connection limit for the large instance refers to a different P2P protocol?  It is my understanding that when distributing through Cloudfront the EC2 server should not see  very much traffic (just streaming the fragments out to the CDN edge locations).Last but not least, is there any sort of reserve instance pricing option for the FMS server?  I understand the flexibility of being able to turn it off and on as needed, but for my particular client we would prefer to just have it on all the time for them, even though it will rarely be used.  In this use case, the high hourly price and no option to save $ with reserved pricing is a bummer.  Thank you for your help.Best Regards,-Mike

Hi all!It's not clear for me, please help.Is it true that all connections will be handled by FMS (like picture in FMG description)? Or there is only connection initiations and subsequent data go through FMG directly?And in all cases what UDP ports (I prefer UDP for lower latency) I have to open between flash player and FMS/FMGThanks in advance!

when is the fix coming for firefox browser... this is unacceptable

I'm not a technical guy and to be honest I'm struggling with some of the terminology on the pricing - can anyone help?  (Shiven, thanks for your recent help on the FMS licence costing).  Basically our service allows users to record video content live to a server and also to watch recorded content form the server.  We currently have a handful of users and the video at this stage is very small files (i.e. no more than 20MB per upload/download).  As you can tell, we're at the early days of start up and are trying to figure out the cost of switching to AWS now and how costs would scale as we develop.  I wouldn't hold you to a price but would you be able to give me a rough estimate of what I should expect to pay per month based on say 100 people using the site across a month?Thanks for any help you can provide!Elvin

If I were to go for one of these options would I still need to pay for a $995 FMS licence - or would I really only pay $5 per month to rent a licence?http://www.adobe.com/products/amazon-web-services/pricing-intl.htmlI'm trying to work out the real bottom line monthly costs for a video streaming service so any help gratefully received.Thanks very much.

As title.Or it only work with 'Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server' and 'Adobe Flash Media Development Server'?Thanks.

Hi!What strategy does the jithttp_module have when it reads a video file for just in time packaging? Does it read the entire file or just what it needs to build its first segment or fragment? Can I configure this strategy?best regardsJohan Acevedo

hi there,i'm using FMS4.5.1 x64 on redhat5.7 x64, and came into an issue, that large files on storage lead to storage breakdown often, screenshot is as below while in fact my local disk is only 50GB.and i found info in core.00.log as follows:2012-04-20 03:38:04 22547 (i)2581173 Negative offset detected (/opt/adobe/fms/applications/liveTest/streams/q0zMo5g/live) : offset=-50737413865234838271152080496235697469251866003895300492626033341588472832617430289030432003888521549819875333480469218646631466415167074600292986508583637554467342750840968219341220349698553654436233621498185621106397118566076069671837669369081112556714644563405586620533964800.000000any idea on what dose that mean and what should i try to delete the offset so that my storage can work fine again?Many thanks.

Hello All,I'm new to FMS, and I'm working through tutorials and examples for the 4.5 version.In trying to follow the directions to set up PHDS, this page says to set the PHDSOutputProtection value in httpd.conf to Required. However, the FMSHttpd service won't start unless I have the PHDSOutputProtection line commented out. Checking the Event Viewer, I see this error: Event Type:ErrorEvent Source:Apache ServiceEvent Category:NoneEvent ID:3299The Apache service named  reported the following error:>>> Invalid command 'PHDSOutputProtection', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration .I assume with PHDSOutputProtection commented out that it is defaulting to None. How can I set this value and get around this error? Thanks!

At the moment it isn't possible to publish audio and webcam with flash player and subscribe to this stream with an iphone due to the lack of support for the aac codec of flash player.Now I was wondering if it is possible to publish audio and webcam to a stream and subscribe with and iphone to this stream and remove the audio, so that if people subscribe with a flash player to the stream they can use the audio!Is something like that possible? So people on an iphone don't have audio and people on a flash player client do have audio? I want to make a webcam platform available on an iphone. At the moment it is only flash player on a pc to flash player on a pc.The publishing part is on a pc with flash player.

I'll do my best to explain what I'm attempting to accomplish.  I have live streams being pre-encoded / segmented in HLS format (.ts and .m3u8) and I need to publish these "live" to an AWS instance running FMS.   Everything I've came across so far works using the flash media live encoder which I'm pretty certain I can completely bypass as I already have the streams being encoded and segmented.  Basically I'm looking for a programmatic way to publish these straigh to my AWS instance "live". Thanks!

hi there,i'm using FMS4.5 to live rtmp, clients invokes FMS Server after connecting to it,myNc.call("getInfo",new Responder(onCallInfoResult,onCallInfoFail));and it works ok, even core.00.log is clean with errors.but as i use it as origin server , core.00.log logged 4 errors each time when clients access it through FVSS edge server (FMS3.5) from my CDN provider :2012-04-20 00:50:43 16374 (e)2581279 Assert failed in tincan/server/TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70 -2012-04-20 00:50:43 16374 (e)2581279 Assert failed in tincan/server/TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70 -2012-04-20 00:50:43 16374 (e)2581279 Assert failed in tincan/server/TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70 -2012-04-20 00:50:43 16374 (e)2581279 Assert failed in tincan/server/TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70 -what's worse, the server even gets overload and shuts down when access reaches a large amount of about 2000+ & 20+/s.  2012-04-20 00:50:26 14052 (w)2581171 System memory load (92) is high. -wondering if there's a solution for this situation?
