Question

FMS; multicast streaming from Digital Rapids

Has anyone had experience configuring multicast streaming from Digital Rapids encoders to an FMS 4.5 server? I can stream RTMP to the FMS server and access the video with an embedded Flash player easily enough, but I'm interested in setting up the FMS to allow clients to access a multicast stream. Most Adobe support documentation refers to Adobe Media Encoder Live for the multicast connection configs, not necessarily non-Adobe encoders, so I'm missing a step or two.

Thanks,

Hugh

    I dont think there is any depedency on encoder for multicast streaming. You basically use Multicast configurator as you would do while setting up Multicast streaming - this would basically give you stream name to be used by publisher and you use that streamname in your encoder settings while publishing to multicast app.

    The RTMP handshake between the DR encoder and the FMS is good, as well as the FMS multicast configuration as seen in the Administration Console. I see the RTMFP client listed in the Clients tab. However, I receive only "waiting for video" in the provided multicast player, on the FMS server, when I try to play the stream. I thought it may be a permissions issue, but I added the SWF file director to the trusted sites, as requested. Not sure where to go from here.

    Following is the link to setup multicast streaming:

    Instead of publishing from Flash Media Live Encoder, you can publish from DR Encoder by making an "rtmp" connection to the "multicast" app on the AMS server and then start publishing to that app from the encoder using the "Publish Stream Name" generated by Multicast Config Tool.
