Question

Dynamic live streaming on AMS 5 on AWS buffering and skipping

I'm having a lot of trouble getting Adobe Media Server 5 on Amazon Web Services working with live dynamic streaming, I've done a of this on Flash Media Server 4.5 and am trying to duplicate what I have done there on AMS since I got an email that FMS 4.5 will be dropped soon.

I have tried replicating my own setup from FMS 4.5 and I have also tried using the base install and following Adobe's tutorial. I get the same results in both events.

First, the HLS streaming appears to work fine. I've watch it on several iOS devices with no problem.

I use StrobeMediaPlayback for HDS streaming and that's where there are problems. The streams usually play fine at first and even transition well, then after a few minutes I start getting a lot of buffering and then video skipping. The longer it goes on, the more it buffers and the larger chucks of video get skipped. Sometimes I also get and error that says "TypeError: Error #1009"

I am using FMLE and both it and the server are set to use absolute time.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Hi,

Welcome to Adobe forums.

May I know the FMS URL and the stream name you are using inside the FMLE and make sure you have full permissions on Adobe media server folder. And also check the streams folder inside the livepkgr folder and see if you are getting all the files created.

And would you mind if you can send me the logs folder at puyadav@adobe.com so that I can analyse this issue at my end.

Regards,

Puspendra
