FMS 3.5 edge

Hi all,

I'm testing FMS as an edge server and was able to successfuly set it up, however there is a problem.

I've setup 10 test streams and I'm publishing them to origin server with FMLE - this works just fine.

I've setup FMS edge server and repeating also works fine, but the thing is FMS edge pulls streams from origin server even if no user asked for a stream thus spending my internet bandwidth all the time.

Expected behaviour is to FMS edge wait for a stream to be called (user starts playing desired stream) and then FMS edge pulls that particular stream from origin server.

Am I missing something in configuration files or behavour I'm expiriencing is expected?

Any tip would be hihgly appreciated.

Thx

Zema

    The behaviour you see does not seem to be expected - edge server would pull stream from origin only when requested from client.

    How did you set up edge server - i mean what configuration changes have you made?

    Hi and thx for reply.

    I've modified Adaptor.xml line <HostPort name="edge1" ctl_channel="localhost:19350">10.0.1.212:1935}</HostPort>

    and Vhost.xml lines

    <Proxy>

    <Mode>remote</Mode>

    <Anonymous>true</Anonymous> (I need this as I can't change stream url, it has to remain as it is origin server - maybe wrong?)

    <CacheDir enabled="false" useAppName="true">

    <RouteTable protocol="rtmp">

    <RouteEntry>*:1935;80.93.240.136:1935</RouteEntry>

    rest remains intact.

    Cheers...

    I think adaptor.xml configuration can be ruled out as its not to do with edge configuration.

    So looking at your vhost.xml it looks pretty fine to me.

    Now lets come back to the issue, can you let me know how are you concluding that edge is pulling data from Origin on its own.

    If its possible can you restart you both origin and edge and try simple scenario of playing 10 seconds of any VOD file which is say 100 secs long. See if there is any transfer of data from origin to edge after client has played 10 seconds.
