Question

editing my application.xml file

The server hosting our FMS does not have space to adequately store the media files over time.  I have since connected a 500GB external drive to the server.  This drive is mapped as the Z drive.  I am not exactly sure how I need to edit my application.xml for all http requests to point to this external drive.  Below is a small sample of the file.  How would I correctly edit this file?  Would I just add a line that says <Streams>/;${Z:\VOD_DIR}</Streams> ???  Do I need to delete either of the below lines?

- <Application>
- <StreamManager>
- <VirtualDirectory>
<!-- 
 Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.  
-->
<Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory>
</StreamManager>

    Hi, Can you try one last thing please ?

    Follow the exact steps mentioned above, but one.

    Stop you FMS services -

    1. Type services.msc in run windows and stop FMS service  OR

    2. Through the command prompt goto the FMS Root Installation Directory and issue the command - net stop fms

    Now Start your FMS Services as follows -

    1. Open a command prompt and traverse on to your FMS Root Installation Directory.

    2. Issue the command - FMSMaster.exe -console

    Wait till you get Server Started message.

    This will run your FMS as a console application rather than a registered service.

    Now try to access and play any media file inside media folder of your MediaComputer.

    same kind of problem for me. It workd well for me if I run the FMS service in console mode.

    But after several hours, FMS server stoped automatically.

    error  is "failed to create process mutex ".

    what should I do next?

    <Streams>/;Z:\path\to\storeage\directory</Streams>


    For more info, see the docs on configuring content storage:

    It doesn't seem to work.  Does this only apply to rtmp:// ???  Because we are only using http:// to view our media.

    My current application.xml looks like the below.  I can still play all media located in the webroot\vod directory but not from the external drive.  Do I need to delete <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> and <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> ???  The Z drive is the external hard drive.  Did I add the entry correctly?

    <Streams>/;Z:\vod</Streams>
    <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
    <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>

    I never install apache with FMS, so I'm not 100% sure here... but I suspect you'd need to set up the virtual directories in httpd.conf to get it to work for http.

    Just curious.... if you're only doing progressive http download, why use FMS at all?
