Does anyone know how to embed cue points into a live stream?  I have been searching around and trying to figure out how to make it work properly.  I have played around with stream.send functions and onmetadata.  It works just fine for pre-recorded files with embedded cue points.  But I am having problems getting it working with a live dvr stream.  It also seems if you modify the metadata keyframe using the stream.send("@setDataFrame"... while you are appending to a file, that the metadata change is only in memory, it does not get flushed to the file.  If you stop and restart the stream and start appending the new metadata is not retained.I am using the dvrcast application to serve and record the streams.  The stream is recorded over a period of time, but recording is started and stopped.  So the file is actually appended to instead of just over writing.  So the problem lies in the metadata, if you actually want to know the exact time somethi

HI All,Is there a way to create videos in a playlist that i can limit the views to 10 videos per user?

So after working for weeks on Flash Media Server on Amazon EC2, I have learned that the version on Amazon is not version 4.5 of Flash Media Server.  The Adobe Flash Media Server website leads you to think it's version 4.5, but in fact it's the old version 4.0.  This means no streaming to ios and various other missing features.Does anyone know when Amazon EC2 will update to Flash Media Server 4.5?  It's only been like 2 months now....

I have Flash Media Interactive Server 3.0.2.Which version can I upgrade without buying a new license?3.0.7, 3.5.7, 4.0.3, 4.5Where it's documented?

Hi All.We are facing some perfomance issues in several FMS4 running on AMD Opteron. This servers uses a lot more CPU than the ones that we own that run on a similar Intel Xeon with the same load.Does FMS run better on Intel Xeon? Is there any studies about it?Regards

Hi,Does anyone from Adobe know when a point release of FMS 4.5 will hit the Adobe labs? Or even be released.Strange question I know Thanks.

I am trying to record a video chat being done through FMS.  I have made my program start recording only when the second stream publishes.  Then, I stop recording when either streams stops publishing.  In my last test I recorded a 45 minute chat.  The resulting flv files show that there are 13 seconds difference between them.  The video gets more out of sync as it goes along.  My first guess is that it is something to do with dropped frames.  That's just a novice guess.  Is there any way to force FMS to fill in dropped frames or does anyone have any other ideas as to what my problem may be?  I'm posting my code for starting and stopping recording:application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){  application.streams.push(myStream); if (application.streams.length == 2) {  bRecordingStarted = "false";  for (i = 0; i < application.streams.length; i++)  {   fo=new File("/streams/WVisit_" + this.MyVisitManager.

Hi,I installed FMS a root user. It works good. but, i have two qustions after installation.1. why did i install fms as a root(admnistrator) rights ?2. Is this possible that i install fms as a general rights ? if do, how do i ?please let me know about this question.thanks,

Is it possible with server-side scripting for FMS to call an external program once a stream has been unpublished? Any links would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,I hope someone can help me to solve my problem although this isn't the Amazon EC2 forum I managed to run the FMS on an EC2 instance and I am able to use admin console. So I think I can say, that the server is running. Now I want to connect to the multicast application, which is delivered with the FMS as an example, via RTMFP. I can't get it to work... With an FMS 4.5 development server I didn't experience such problems. It seems to be a problem with the AWS. It might be, that I missed something to configure. But what? Does anyone have experiences with FMS and AWS?

I have an application that streams live video between two stations to create a "conference".  I am working on recording these streams for later playback.  The two sides can connect at different times.  What I want to do is make it so that the recording only starts when both sides are connected and then it ends when either of them disconnect.  That way the videos at least start and stop at the same time.  I have been using the code below, but it's not working like I would expect.  This code is in the OnPublish event.  First I determine what the id of the other connecting stream is.  Then, I try to use that to start recording both streams at once.  My main problem so far is that I can't seem to retrieve the other stream.  The stream name that is being published matches iOtherStationNumber in the admin console, but the program never makes it into the " if (sOther)" part.  I always get the "sOther is nothing message".var sOther = Strea

I'd like to provide our clients with something that indicates that a VOD file isn't found when requested via RTMP.Using the Strobe player, the default behavior from FMS 4.5 is to throw up a continuous "Buffering" message when the file isn't found.When it's a live stream, we can control the return a response with FCSubscribe; so if it's not there, we can send back a response. HTTP (HDS/HLS) do return a file not found when requesting a missing file.I tried this from a stock version of FMS using the /vod directory and any time that I place in a vod rtmp location that doesn't exist I get a buffering message.I know that I could add a timeout to the client side - but I'm trying to stick to stock OSMF and make it work from the server side with multiple players.Is there server side actionscript /or c++ plugin that I can add that will check the presence of the file and return a "not found" when the play is requested? How/where would I exactly add that? Seems realitively simple, but not seeing a

This topic has come up a lot and I've ready through many of them, but none of them seem to have my exact issue.  I recently setup Flash Media Server on Amazon EC2 and things are going well so far; however the admin console wont login.  I've set the username, password, and port in the config file and opened that port, among others, in the security group.  I've then restarted both FMS and admin server multiple times.When I try to login I get no errors.  Nothing happens at all.  When I open FireBug and/or Fiddler2 to watch the communication, I'm not seeing a single thing happen.  Clicking "Login" submits no requests at all.  Do I just not understand how FMS works?  I would assume some sort of request would need to be made.Eric

Hello, folks.I am looking for guy familiar with FMS 4.5 to help me install, adjust and optimize it. I have few problems with DVR customization. Ready to pay $$$.Fell free to ping me via mail: zloba00 [alfadog] gmail.comOr replay here.

I had instulled DFMS 4.5 on computer with Windows 7, created a RootInstall/applications/livestreams folder on the server, published a live stream using Flash Media Live Encoder ore client-side script to the  rtmp://localhost/livestreams with Stream name "localnews". In the server-side allready exist main.asc file in RootInstall/documentation/samples/livestreams folder, where allready was defined an application.onPublish() event handler. I started LiveStreams.swf, clicked the start button, opened Flash media Administration console, had seen the livestreams _definst_ (cliens=1) and created "anotherinstance" of the livestreams application (appeared clients=0). I clicked start and stop buttons in application "livestreams" (I tested it using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 in debuggin mode), saw my face in the screen, but server did not republish stream to another application instance on the my local server.What I do wrong?

Hey,Im using FMS 4.5 on Windows, with Apache installed. I am using Apache on port 80.When trying to do HTTP Dynamic Streaming, I can request a manifest successfully with http://www.example.net/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m however I cannot playback the video using OSMF, I see in the packet trace the request for the first fragment and in the Apache error_log [Fri Oct 28 13:49:31 2011] [error] mod_f4fhttp [500]: Coretech error 1026 when processing /hds-live/streams/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/livestream/livestreamSeg78-Frag7761. I cannot see any error codes documented anywhere for the f4fhttp module.Any ideas what this error means ? Does it point towards my incoming RTMP stream ? or my Apache setup ? or what. Adobe could do with documenting the potential error codes for these apache modules![EDIT]In addition I have this in more core.00.log, which looks suspicious !2011-10-2814:05:593464(e)2611178Error from libf4f.dll: Could not parse afra index.-[/EDIT]RegardsMal

Can I use different versions of  FMS (3.0 3.5 4.0 to 4.5) to muti-point publishing? Use existing old ones for most streams, and use 4.5 for iOS apps.The answer is Im guessing probably yes, as I was able to multi-point publish to different big company's new FMS (4?) from one of our FMS 3.0 machine. But just to make sure before I make investment?Also Air 3 sdk based iOS app now can connect to FMS 4.5 and play h264 live video stream on ios devices over the appstore approved http-live-streaming protocol right? Just to be clear 🙂

Hello!I've worked with FMIS a good bit relaying streams to various CDNs. The guy working before me always created a new Application for every stream. This was due to each stream needing its own configuration. This was also before MBR streams were popular or even around. It wasn't till i started to implement HDS that i see you could just share the same application for many streams. I don't have any resources at work that can give me any insight on the correct usuage of FMS Applications other than what the other guy left behind. My question is when do you use different instances of an application, or can you just keep using "_definst_"? Scenerio example:Sports Event with 3 camera angles all using 4 bitrates each. do i just use the default instance for the whole event like so:rtmp://server/livepkgr/bitrate_1?adbe-live-event=camera1rtmp://server/livepkgr/bitrate_2?adbe-live-event=camera1rtmp://server/livepkgr/bitrate_3?adbe-live-event=camera1rtmp://server/livepkgr/bitrate_4?adbe-live-event

I have a problem I forgot or made a complicated password for my FMS 4.5 installation and now I can't get into the admin console. In previous versions of FMS I WOULD go into fms.ini and retrive it .....has the plain text password been removed in fms.ini for FMS 4.5? If so how do I retrieve the admin password without reinstalling? You can PM me the answer if you don't want it public then again you might not even want me to know Is reinstalling the only option?

HI,I have recently downloaded FMS to check the feasibility of replacing the current RTMP server used. For this purpose I require to encode a stream from capture card using ffmpeg, - which can and is done - to be streamed through FMS. We are running our solution on CentOS hence live encoder cannot be used. Would anyone be able to provide information on whether this could be done and how?Thanks in advance
