Hi, Is it possible to control who can stream to my streaming server? I have 4 locations in Europe that have a pc with a Webcam and Flash Media Encoder Installed Each FME is profiled to stream to my FMS and I have a 4 Camera Console Built for Live Meeting Situations. It works fine. It seems though that the local "IT" guys have figured out the rtmp streaming path and I have seen on FMS on several occasions these guys having their own "Video Chats" just by changing the stream name. I want to stop this if possible. Any suggestions or ideas would be grateful.

Hello All,I am new to FMS and have been working on Flash Media Development Server.My Setup:I have a FMS and HTTP server on same machine  .

When Debugging, I found there's no SharedObject had been created  and there's no err and exception had been thrown.Please help me.Thanks

The auth_addin works as expected when using the Flash Media Live encoder requiring a username and password before publishing a stream.However, tools like Wirecast and even the sample broadcasting SWF that comes in the FMS Introduction page can publish a stream without providing any credentials! What is the solution to this?Thanks!

Hello,How can I detect in my Main.asc if the live stream is in the VP6 format or H.265 format?Thanks!

Is it possible to stream from a folder other than the root streams folder...I want to stream from......... streams/user1/test.flv

Hi all,  I'm following the excellent example code set forth in "Learning FMS3" from Chapter 5.  It works quite well, except for one thing: If I execute the script on a machine that has, say, a Logitech Zoom that has both a camera and a mic, it seems like it can either do one or the other, but not both.  E.g. if I set the mic to be something else in Windows Control Panel, the video is just fine, but no audio is broadcast.  However, if I set the mic to be the built-in Logitech Zoom's, the audio works but no picture is broadcast.  Is there any way around this?  I reckon it's because a device context or handle is given to the device for one purpose, and the next time it tries to use it for another function, it likely overtakes it for single usage.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to make an application that streams audio from an audio stream, but the NetStream seems to never connect. I don't have Flash Media Server. Could that be the reason?

I am trying to load test my 2 server load balanced FMS 2 environment which has been set up with the profile for 1000 connection 40MB. When I hit about 140 connections/server it fails with a "Bandwidth Penalty activated at time 1248945759.731000 with bandwidth 5945889 and limit 5000000" error logged in the event viewer immediately followed by many rejection errors: " immediately followed by many rejection errors: "Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ License.Limit.Exceeded ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_/DLvideo/_definst_) : Current server bandwidth usage exceeds license limit set. Rejecting connection."The load testing mechanism is a test harness that was created by a third party and seems to work well up until the above messages are logged. It basically is making 25 sustained streamed video connections per minute until it starts disgarding connections as noted above.The servers are not even breathing hard (RAM is less that 50% consumed and CPU Utilization is < 5%) 1GB NIC o

I was pretty confused while stetting up a FMS and reading the docs. Live Streaming is by default enabled for everyone without password.Then I discovered and installed the authentication module. But this does not work and is not well documented. Also the download page states that it will work with FMS but some lines below it is stated that: "the Flash Media Server Authentication Add-In is only available for the Flash Media Interactive Server and the Flash Media Developer Server. This Add-In does not work with the Flash Media Streaming Server." hmmm. Confusing.How can I prevent that everyone is using my server for live streaming?Kind regards,Tom

I am thinking about allowing DVR option to my live feed.The questions I have are as follows:Does each user connected have their own controls.In order for DVR to work, the feed has to start to store.Where does the stream store.If it is on the server, then does it start storing stream for each user connected, or can it be option to store on Clients device.Secondly, if it is stored on client is the content protected or scrambled so it is not re-distributed or copied.

Can someone help me understand the error "NetStream.Record.NoAccess" I am getting when I try to record a live stream? I have LIVE_DIR set in the fms.ini file like so:LIVE_DIR = /opt/adobe/fms/webroot/live_recordedThat folder contains no recordings, so the definition of the error from the documentation ..."NetStream.Record.NoAccess - The client tried to record a stream that is still playing, or the client tried to record (overwrite) a stream that already exists on the server with read-only status."... would seem to indicate that the stream is still playing. (Since I can't be trying to overwrite a file.) That's the part I don't get. Shouldn't the recording occur while the stream is still playing?Can anyone help me understand this error?Many thanks,Whit

Do FMS cores share the same FLV cache or does each core have it's own cache?

We have the Flash Media Server Interactive version. I do not see any upates for that version in the support area. Is the 3.5.2 binary the same and it will just use our Interactive license key. Looking for some direction here.

I just started using the FME and FMS.I captured a live feed and was able to send it to the FMS.With the FMS URL: rtmp://ip:1935/liveWhere ip is the IP Address of the serverStream: livestreamnow when i used the application sample providedI am able to see the live feed, GREAT.Now when use VLC or Quicktime (not from server, from my laptop) and enter the FMS Url (rtmp://ip:1935/live also tried rtmp://ip/application/live), it does not work.I am originally a windows media encoder and utilize windows media player, so it was very easy there.Can some one guide me on how to see this feed from outside server and on stand alone player...Thank you in advance to all for their help.

After 5-10 minutes of use my application disconnnects  all users....does anybody know some general causes of this or how do i fix it...........in the server logs i get code 600 normal disconnect.........I don't know how to go about addressing this in my code could somebody help me out please.

I want to record a stream which is published with Flash Live Encoder to FMS 3.5, but split the recording in files with predefined length. For example if a stream 'webcam' is published I want to record it in chunks of 10 minutes: 'webcam1.flv', 'webcam2.flv' ... From what I can tell there's no facility to work with timers. The only solution I could think of was using stream.record() with a time limit parameter but that seems like a hack because it triggers NetStream.Record.DiskQuotaExceeded on the stream when the recordin should stop and start recording another chunk. Has anyone done something similar?

All,I'm new to the streaming video world but I do have FMS 3.5 up and running and have encoded some wmv and mp4 videos to flv using adobe encoder CS4.  I followed the tutorials and have created the swf files in flash CS4 and the videos are streaming as expected.The primary issue I am having is the videos tend to be choppy at times.  They pause, run slowly, audio pops and just overall; glitchy.  Typically at the beginning but some times throughout.  The test files at the FMS admin page stream fine without issue from the same server.  We have tested the site/streams from multiple providers all at cable modem speed or above.We are running FMS 3.5 developer version and wish to purchase the full version but I really need to fix this issue to prove it's value.As a bit of background we are running/testing FMS 3.5 from a server with the following specs:Redhat EL 4.6-32 SuperMicro X7DBU Intel Xeon QuadCore DualProc Sata [2Proc] Intel Xeon-Harpertown 5420-Quadcore [2.5GH

Hello All,I am new to FMS and have been working on Flash Media Development Server.My Setup:I have a FMS and HTTP server on one machine A and all my swf's were kept there. I had one more machine B in a network, from which I was testing the swf's on Machine A.Everything was running fine, until suddenly I could not access the swfs from Machine B.Moreover, when i checked the Admin console in machine A, there was no client (referring Machine B) was connected to the FM Development Server.What could have happened sosuddenly. In the swf that i tried connecting from Machine B, I debugged and found out that the swf was not able to connect to the FMS. (NetConnection.Connect.Failure)Please help me.Thanks

I recently installed FMS 3.5 and loaded 3 of the same video w/ different bit rates into my vod folder.  What's the easiest way to set up a dynamic stream for these videos?

I bought FMS 3.5 Interactive Edition... Just to use it for live streaming and VOD.. But how do i use all the extra features?Thanks

I'm new to FMS and a bit confused on how I should set things up. Right now, I have a web server running IIS and a database server. I originally install FMS 3.5 on the web server and set the port 1935.  However, many of my users have that port blocked so that's not the best option. Should I install it on the database server so I can set the port to 80? Also, does FMS work as a standalone server?  For example could you have two servers - one with IIS and the other with FMS.  When someone goes to the IIS web page can it pull in videos from the FMS server?  I'm guessing it can but I haven't found any information about this so any help is greatly appreciated.
