Good day,

I have the flash media development server 4, and I've installed the dvrcast 1.2, I copied the folders dvrcast_edge and dvrcast_origin to the root installation/applications and I started to encode with the Live Flash encoder with DVR option enabled, but folder that it would have to create call stream does not exist in dvrcast_origin,  my problem is very similar to this post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/786658?tstart=0 I did the same tests that, but I also probe the DVRControlSync.swf and has not been able to create this folder, please need help.

thanks.

    Correct answer Nikhil_Kalyan

    The FMS is under Centos5.5, in a virtual machine proxmox.

    first the owner was the "nobody" user, now the owner is the root user

    how i can give write permissions to the fms?


    I am not sure what's stopping the recording from happening here.

    There is also a similar recording problem that's being discussed on another thread and i provided a sample application "myapp" zipped. Can you take that and see if you can have some help to have the recording going ? You may as well go through the last few replies in that post.

    Once the recording starts for you, we should then look for the DVR issue. Let us know your findings.

    Thank you !

    Additional information, I tried with several names in the fmle as livestream, mp4: livestream.f4v, raw: livestream and I've also tested with the same names in the DVRControlSync.swf, the other utilities on the server if works.

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying out DVR and FMS.

    My best guess here for not being able to see DVR working is the mismatch in the stream names. Few quick checkpoints to see if everything is working as expected :

    1. Make sure the recording are actually happening on the server. Go to the dvrcast_origin application and see under streams\_definst_ folder if you have three streams with the name(s) you provided in FMLE. Make sure the recordings are actually happening.

    2. DVRController swf is not required as long as you are using FMLE with the DVR Auto Record check box selected.

    3. Take the dvr sample player and make sure you are providing the same stream names everywhere (FMLE and playback). Use mp4:livestream%i.f4v while publishing (which gives recordings with the name livestream1.f4v , livestream2.f4v etc) and playback with the name mp4:livestream1.f4v etc.

    Let us know your findings.

    Thank you !

    The problem is that, the folder streams/_definst_ don't exist, in the FMLE I Have fms

    url: rtmp://my.ip.of.fms/dvrcast_origin

    stream: mp4:sample.f4v

    and dvr record is enabled

    in the log of FMLE

    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Primary - Stream[mp4:sample.f4v] Status: Success
    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Primary - Stream[mp4:sample.f4v] Status: NetStream.Publish.Start
    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Requested DVR command is successfully issued to Primary FMS server for stream mp4:sample.f4v
    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Primary - Network Command: onFCPublish
    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Session Started
    Mon Apr 25 2011 08:52:03 : Video Encoding Started

    but in the rootinstallation/applications/dvrcast_origin is

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  286 Nov 11 20:13 Application.xml
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 11 20:13 scripts

    livestream work but the recording don't work.
