Question

FMS and Encoder on different servers

Hi,

We've setup FMS on one server and our cameras and Flash Media Encoder on another. Can I assume this is doable? Can we do this? Do I have to configure FMS to allow a connection from our other server?

Under the FMS URL field in FME we've put: rtmp://ourip:port/live, but it says it can't connect?

Am I doing something very stupid here? I'm assuming that FMS needs to certify a connection from out other server..

Sorry.. dumb I know, but am kind of new to this.

Thanks,

Graham

    Not sure if this was resolved but.......

    Go into the applications folder and you should have two folders in there called live and vod.

    Live can be used for live streams and vod (Video on Demand) can be use to pull pre recorded movies.

    Go into the live folder and create another folder with a name that is relevent ie test.

    This folder will store temporarily the streaming video. Even when you are streaming live, and you open the folder, it will still be empty.

    InFlash media encoder that is on the machine with the camera you should put into the FMS URL:

    rtmp://ipaddressofcomputer/live/test

    in the Stream name bos, put in anything you want as long as it is different to another stream from another compueter going intothe same folder, without the .flv tag...ie: video

    If you have no admin access issues to the FMS machine, pressing connect should work and disconnect should be named on the button.

    On the root directory of FMS open up: fms_adminConsole.htm

    You should see in the applications section a stream running, saying it is connected via Netstream.

    hi,
    though i myself never tried FME but I have gone through its doc.
    one is able to set FMS on one machine and cameras on other.
    FMS url you are trying is correct way of doing.

    you can do some debug like
    1. try to connect to FMS by some swf file to any application on it.
    see whether you are able to do that or not.
    2. sometimes problems comes because of firewall. you can check for the port on which FMS is listening.

    about certifying by FMS for live, one has to do all the certification in the application.
