Adobe FMS 4.5 only showing 1 active connection

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?

This seems like a pretty big reason to not choose AWS to stream in the future; there really is no ability to view statistics?

I suppose I can get # of viewers estimated by the number of people viewing the page, but certainly no numbers on amount of time watching stream or anything like that.


Hey John,

This has nothing to do with AWS. It is because you are streaming through Http and the stateless nature of the protocol. If you so choose to stream the same content via RTMP, you can very well view all your subcribers through the Admin console.

Thanks!

Hi John,

The one connection that you see is your publisher sending RTMP data to your FMS server. That stream gets recorded and the content is served by Apache and FMS has no role in that.

So you will not be able to see your subscriber count in the FMS Admin console.

Thanks!

    Thanks for your answer Shiven. If I cannot see the amount of viewers in the FMS Admin console, where can I see my statistics such as number of viewers?

    Hey John,

    I am afraid  but FMS will not be able to provide you any such statistics. You will have to include some type of monitoring at Apache's end and even then you will just get an idea based on the no. of fragments being served by Apache.

    Thanks!
