Hi,

I just installed tow Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 4's and I want to receive Microsoft Media Service stream in my first server and forward or stream it to server 2.

So server 1 will receive MMS stream then broadcast it to server 2 over WAN and it will act as stream server over LAN also.

Is it applicable or not, if yes could you please provide me with good manual because it's difficult to configure it with web based console.

    As far as I know, there is no way you can convert a mms stream (supported by Windows Media Server) to rtmp stream (supported by Flash Media Server).

    Thanks zarihs for your replay.

    Could you please confirm it or I should wait for Adobe staff to confirm it.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Joorey,

    FMS does not support the ingest of Microsoft (mms/rtsp) based streams.  Unless you have a specific need to deliver to a Windows Media/Silverlight audience also, I would suggest you consider encoding into a Flash (rtmp) delivery format natively at the source.  Converting a Microsoft based stream would require codec conversions to one of the Flash supported codecs (video: h.264/vp6/h.263, audio: aac/mp3/speex/nellymoser) and doing this on the fly would be expensive CPU computation and certainly not without loss during the conversion.  Encoding natively at the source and publishing directly to a Flash Media Server would ensure that you don't incur quality loss and reduces the MS to Flash overhead.

    Cheers,
