Problem1 The ***.stream file is not being created in the folder> C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveeventBUTI can see the F4F, F4X, control, meta, and bootstrap files being created in the folder> C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestreamAny ideas on what may be causing this and how to resolve it?Problem2Sometimes if I send multiple bitrates like livestream1, liverstream2, livestream3 I'll only see the livestream3 stream files created in the folder C:\FMSHOME\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream3. No livestream1 or livestream2 stream folder/files are created. And again the .stream file is not being created.Help!!!Dave

Each time the server gets rebooted we receive an invalid license key warning in the event viewer application log.Will this cause the server to stop working? Our license key is valid. The C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\licenses folder shows the files- sif35.bin,sif40.bin,sif45.bin and sif.bin. Thanks,Dave

I developed a prototype application using LCCS - Now I want to create the final app - One of the requirements is to record video-chats on the server - For that reason I am thinking of purchasing FMS 4.5 and host a local server here in Australia (FOR LATENCY obviously)Reason for hosting myself:1) Latency - I live in Australia - a local server makes sense2) Recording etc.. of video-chat - a capability only available on your own FMS-server and NOT LCCSBUT - I am going through the documnetation and it seems the whiteboard components, chatroom <rtc:SimpleChat , creating rooms "on the fly" - are all part of LCCS and not FMSDoes this mean I have to develop those functionalities on my own FMS server myself - according:LCCS vs Red 5 vs FMS 4 ENTERPRISEhttp://forums.adobe.com/thread/741180LCCS is an "application" built on top of FMS and a set of well defined collaboration APIsThis means FMS does not come with the pre-built LCCS capabilities - you can only get it if hosted through Adobe LCCS

So I have a LAMP stack on a virtual server and would like to install FMS without using the apache that comes with FMS - I would rather just keep on using the currently installed LAMP-stack - is there a tutorial or documentation on how to accomplish this???thx

Hello, I'm trying to use Flash Media Server (on Amazon) to read in a video feed from a user's webcam, process it via my own executable, and return processed data (not video) to the user.For simplicity, let's say my executable finds the darkest pixel in the image and returns its coordinates, and I want the client to draw a cross at this location.The client-side is working fine. It can send the video stream, and receive vertex data to draw. The server is half-working. It can accept connections, and send fake vertex data to the client. However I can't find any way to access the webcam stream.Ideally, I would pass each frame from the stream into my executable for processing, with no saving to disk (or perhaps minimal saving to disk as a cache for P-frames). I've got the impression that this is impossible though, so another acceptable solution is to save the stream (live) to disk, and read it (live) from my executable.I'm a bit stuck with both approaches, so any pointers would be greatly ap

I am using these settings for media server but there's too much noise when a mic is attached to stream. Code is as following, can you suggest changes to remove the noise for more crystal clear voice?public function initMicrophone():void{    mic = getMicrophone();    if (mic == null)    {        trace("No available microphone");    }    else    {        mic.setLoopBack(false);        mic.setSilenceLevel(10, 20000);        mic.gain = 60;        mic.addEventListener(ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, micActivityHandler);        mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, micStatusHandler);        mic.codec = SoundCodec.PCMU;    //mic.codec = "Speex"; &nb

Hi,I am developing video conference application in flash with FMS4.5 and integrating StageVideo API for rendering video on hardware and it's working very nice but, I am not able to capture picture from StageVideo so If anybody have any idea/suggestions about capture picture from StageVideo then your suggestion will help more.ThanksRam

Hello,A few days back I came to know about dynamic streaming feature of FMS.I read this linkhttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1.htmlI read all information from above and related all posts.Now my question/problem is,Can we use DynamicStream to access and handle live stream user's web camera instead of normal NetStream?Our application is like video conferencing.In our application user's stream is not being stored on server. It is just being published as live.Now when I publish user's webcam stream as "record" (in ns.publish("stream_name","record"))I am able to get the stream.But when I publish the stream as "live" (in ns.publish("stream_name","live"))the stream is not being retrieved. Even sometimes I get an exception in "DynamicStream.as" provided by Adobe.So any suggestions or hints are appriciable.Thanks.

hello, everyone here. i've started a project to switch different live&recorded ADs .f4v streams.  i use the Stream Class as a hub to switch different live and record streams and finally to produce a merged stream.  everything is OK when i freely switch recorded videos, and the client side can view the merged video. however, when i switch from the playing recorded ad stream to live stream and vice versa, the produced merged stream viewed at the client side is freezed at the switching point, and after several mininutes the merged stream return to normal state and the viewers can view the switched new stream. then what is the matter? thank you for your reply. my partial asc file is as follows:var stream = Stream.get("mp4:mergedvid.f4v");application.onAppStart = function(){      trace("the app is start...");           if(stream)      {        

I'm trying to stream a HDS live multi-bit stream, it seems to push to the FMS but my player doesn't display the stream.Are these settings and files correct? The documenation is confusing on what and which files need to be edited and/or created.Encoder settings:      Bit Rate: 150,500,700     FMS URL: rtmp://myserver/livepkgr     Stream: liveevent%i?adbe-live-event?liveeventFMS 4.5I see the following directories being created when I start encoding and each directory has a single file with a .stream extension in them. Are these correct?C:\FMS-HOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent1C:\FMS-HOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent2C:\FMS-HOME\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent3In my WEBROOT I created a manifest file called liveevent.f4m<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">     <baseURL>http://myserver/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/</baseURL>

We purchased Flash Media Streaming Server Interactive edition in order to have the security featuers of not allowing unauthorized connections streaming live content to the server.Is there a document with procedures that details how to make this happen, the allowedHTMLdomains.txt does not work when you place in IP ranges that you do not want connecting.I need some help just to figure out a way to keep someoen from connecting to the server and not streaming live content.Has anyone configured this in Linux because the documentation is mainly for Windows.Any help/advice would be great since this seems to be a common problem for anyone who runs Linux.

I read in the documentation that Apache should use port 80 and remove the proxy port of 8134 for http live/dynamic streaming to work correctly.In the fms.ini file should I change the adapter.xml parameters to the following? So FMS listens on port 1935 and Apache listens on port 80?# IP address and port(s) Flash Media Server should listen on# For example:#    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80## ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935# IP (address and) port that Flash Media Server should proxy# unknown HTTP requests to. Leave empty to disable proxying.# With no address, specifies a localhost port.# For example:#    HTTPPROXY.HOST = webfarm.example.com:80##HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8134HTTPPROXY.HOST =Thanks,Dave

In core.00.log I am seeing:Local Interface : 10.114.10.94 will be used for dest ip : 223.12.223.112How can I force it to use my other network interface (the public facing one)?Thank you!Sincerely,Greg Pulier

Hi, I am developing a video system using the  peer-assisted networking of FMS.but when I have published video successed, I can't receive the video at some endpoint.Here is the log that can receive the video,NetStream.MulticastStream.Reset=================NetStream.Play.Start=================NetStream.Play.Reset=================NetStream.Connect.Success=================NetGroup.MulticastStream.PublishNotify=================NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect=================Connected - Stratus ID: =================NetConnection.Connect.Success=================and follow is the log that can't receive the video,=================NetStream.Play.Start=================NetStream.Play.Reset=================NetStream.Connect.Success=================NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect================NetGroup.Connect.Success=================NetConnection.Connect.Successthe diffent is that i can see is that the [NetStream.MulticastStream.Reset and NetGroup.MulticastStream.PublishNotify] events.Any suggestions?

Hi, i just wanted to say that there is a security lack with the HTML Protection.If you have a domain e.g. yourdomain.com, and you protect your rtmp streams with html protection, you can steal streams like this if you know the swf path:yourdomain.com/player.swf?file=FILENAME.flv&streamer=rtmp://SERVERIP:1935/liveThen you can steal easily streams.A solution is to not allow all subdomains automatically when you enter a domain in the allowedHTML~.txt file. Then you could create a subdomain for the player, e.g. player.yourdomain.com and then locate the swf file there. Then just allow www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com and the streams are secure. Hope you will fix this problem.

A little confused getting started with the FMS Interactive 4.5In the documentation it says to turn off proxying to apache on port 8134 and use port 80 in order for http dynamic and http live streaming to work properly.Since I changed Apache conf to use port 80 I assume my video root will be under webroot/vod, webroot/dvrcast_origin, etc, right?I don't see the dvrcast_origin or livepkgr folders under the webroot though. Do I just need to copy them under webroot for it work properly?Dave
