Can Flash Media Encoder handle several video sources and live srteam them all at the same time?  We want to stream a few over the air broadcast sources using Flash Media Server v3.0.  Is it possible to install several TV tuner cards into a PC and have Media Encoder live steam each of them at the same time?  If not, can several copies of the software run on the same machine (each with it's own video source live streaming)?

    You can have multiple Flash Media Live Encoders opened and streaming different

    streams to the server. Make sure you select the right "Devices" from the drop down. ALso ensure that you dont overload your

    PC with multiple instances, because it depends on your system configuration.

    Hello....I have a criminology channel on justin.tv (justin.tv/channel30), i want to start a History and a sociology channel as well.....i have a crazy computer with 12 gigs of ram....In order to broadcast multiple streams (3) on a website like Justin.tv, how can one FME encode all 3 separately....If i wanted to broadcast 3 channels from the same computer, would i have to open up 3 separate FMEs, and have 3 different capture softwares, and also 3 different sound cards(each one assigned to each capture software) so each FME could detect a separate audio for each stream....Thanks
