Hello,I'm currently assisting with putting an AMS server responsible for live streaming to a pure IP multicast group from behind a DMZ. The DMZ is through a Juniper firewall that supports filtering IP Multicast.I'm assuming the following rule needs to exist:AMS Server publishing video to the IP Multicast Address and Port used by pure IP multicast.Do any other rules need to exist? For instance, inbound communication to the AMS server from the same IP Multicast Address and Port via other nodes that are part of that pure IP Multicast group?I've searched the forum and didn't see anything immediately obvious and the only Adobe doc that I found that mentioned anything to this regard stated "Within a firewall use IP Multicast" - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/devguide/WSa4cb07693d123884520b86f312a354ba36d-7ffe.2.3.html#WS0914fed73b20fbab5f67e9a31326e030390-8000.2.3I just need to figure out which holes to punch between the internal intranet network and the Adobe Media Server DMZ.

When AMS repeats connection and cutting of a connection and performs them, what is the cause by which AMS is downed?

Setup: AMS 5, AIR 3.9, Flex 4.6.0, Windows 7, Flash Builder 4.7Issue: Given a stream that consists only of data (i.e. NetStream.send() calls), attempting to play it back "instantly" (i.e. with the "reset" value of 2 or 3 which streams all messages at once) doesn't work. It will play back the stream data, but is by no means "all at once," taking many seconds and taking longer as the stream size grows. The messages seem to be sent in bursts with periods of slow arrival reminiscent of normal replay speed.Below is a simplified example that demonstrates this. When launched, it will send a message to the stream once a second for 30 seconds. Afterwards, buttons are activated that enable "instant" (i.e. reset of 3) replay of messages for the first 10/20/30 seconds of the stream. Watching the console output reveals that the replay is not "instant."I have tried various workarounds with no success, including calling Stream.send() from the server instead. Changing NetStream.bufferTime seems to hav

Hi,Is there possibility to include more than 1 "HttpStreamingContentPath" directive in the AMS configuration?Basically I have 5 folders, each has following tree structure:   - Storage1      - 12345          - 12345_1500kbps.mp4          - 12345_1000kbps.mp4So in each folder there are multiple folders, and within these folders are video files with different bitrates.What should I write in the AMS config files, so that when I use URL (http://server.com/hds-vod/12345_1500kbps.mp4), AMS will automatically give me appropriate file from the folder where it's located?

Hi,I am now using streaming with this setup, FMLE > WOWZA > EdgecastCDN > PLayer. To get more control I am planning to configure my own FMS in my network. In such case if I use it as FMLE > EdgacestCDN>myFMS>player ... is it  recommended setup ? or can anybody please suggest me more effective way by using my edgacestCDN and my FMS setup.thanks in advance,Regards,Nas

Hello everyone,Our company is running a complex multimedia streaming solution based on Adobe FMS 4.5 and FMS 5. We are powering web presence for more than 100 web sites in 50+ different languages, with millions of page views per day. We are experiencing problems with choppy playback of video.Our developers have been working on it for a long time, they experimented with server settings, our network, file system etc, but we have not been able to identify the problem. At this moment, we are interested in consulting with Adobe (or an expert recommended by Adobe) regarding the possible solution to this problem. Given that we are in the media business, this problem is top priority for us as it affects millions of viewers. I would really appreciate if you could contact us regarding this problem as soon as possible. Mladen

As I understand it, older versions of Media Server would only stream FLV video files. The college I am at now has Media Server Professional 5. Will I be able to upload MPEG 4 video files without having to convert them to flash video (FLV) format in order that they can be streamed from the server?

working with FMS 3.5I have a webcam live video chat system with many users working only on browsers how support flash.I want to work with FMS 4.5 in order to upgrade my system to be able to use it with html 5 <video> tagin safari browser in IOS devices (iPHone,Ipad).I do not find any simple example or tutorialthat show how it need to be done.What changes i have to make in my actionscript server codein my main.asc file in my live chat appliction folder?it seys:"Important: You do not need to write server-side code for HTTP Dynamic Streaming. The livepkgr application has a Server-Side ActionScript file that assigns streams to a live event."but is it done automatically to any stream or do i have to write some server-side codeto start it - or do i need this event at all?What is the url i have to write in the src atribute of the html 5 <video> tagin order that the user in safary browser on iPHone,Ipad will see the stream?this link is not halpfull to me:http://help.adobe.com/en_US

I can't get a f4m to play to save my life.  It also doesnt help that i have yet to find a resource that has a proper f4m structure.  Every single one, from Adobe.com to Lynda.com all set it up differntly and none of them are for AMS 5.  I keep getting error messages from the StrobeMediaPlayback.swf saying that the f4m is not formed correctly.Also, all of the tutorials use LOCALHOST, which does not apply to me because i have access to a server with AMS 5 on it.I can get a single video to stream if i do a direct path to the video rather than a path to the F4M file, but that's not what i am trying to do.IN MY PLAYER, i have a full URL for the VOD.f4m.  For privacy reasons, i removed it.These are the 3 ways i have tried to format my F4M file (all of them were from 'official' tutorials)This does not work:?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest xmlns="_http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">      <id>dynamicStream</id>   &nb

I tried to upgrade from 4.0 to 4.5 (announced as free maintenance upgrade) and it failed to install with my S/N with this: "An an unexpected error occurred. Please seek help from Adobe.  Falling back to the Adobe Flash Media Development Server." Can you help me?  Thanks for any reply.Linux Debian x86_64 server with 4.0 version without any problem - I wanted to upgrade just for security reasons (due to change logs).

Hello,I use the Adobe Media Server 5 standard but I have a problem to reject some IP adresses, when  I change the Adaptator.xml all the address can connect to the server ,I restarted "AMSHttpd" and "Adobe Media Server" :<!-- This tag specifies that clients can only connect to the server from  --> <!-- the specified hosts. This is specified as a comma delimited list of  --> <!-- hostnames or domain names and/or (full or partial) IP addresses, as  -->  <!-- well as the keyword "all" (no quotes required).                      -->  <!-- For example:                                               &nbsp

Hi From AMS documentation, I can package vod content as audio-only by appending "audio-only" to url for instance:http://<ams server ip>/hls-vod/audio-only-aac/vod.m3u8Similarly I can package live content (single bitrate) as audio-only for instance:http://<ams server ip>/hls-live/audio-only-aac/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8In my case, I have 3 bitrates being published for a live audio-video event. The variant playlist for this event is created by hls_http module by refering to Manifest.xml.I could not figure out a way to insert an audio-only stream to this variant playlist created by hls_http module for live stream.Please let me know if I am missing something because this seems to be a pretty obvious requirement for live streaming to IOS devices.Thanks,Nitin

I am working in a chat application. I am wanting to save the messages in a chat application between users for future purposes.Is it possible to save the chat history in the Flash Media Server itself, or would it be needed to be saved in database?If you can provide any tutorials, examples, suggestions or guidelines? I would appreciate it greatly. I have been searching all over the internet for examples and documentations but found nothing relevant.Anyway, thank you in advance

Hello, I have an adobe media server installation on a windows server.I have noticed that even with the authentication plugin, I can stream from my iphone without a stream key or a username/password.  How would I resolve this?One other thing is, how would I setup a stream key, or stream key usage, as found in ffsplit or xsplit [pretty much any rtmp streaming client].Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to use AMS to conduct a live school news broadcast. Currently I can view the stream using `localhost,` but how can I figure out what IP or DNS address to use to make the stream public. While I can stream on the same network the viewers are on, I'd like to make it visible to anyone.

Hello,I have a 5.0.1 Adobe Media Server installed.Apache is configured to answer on the port 80 of this server for http live streaming.AMS answers on the default port, 1935.Some of our clients and people who go to our websites have outbound firewall and can't reach port 1935 of the AMS server.When, in stream URL, I force the port 80 to be used, with the Adobe Sample Video Player 5 or our own Video Player, the video takes much longer to load.For example, the pages and video of a website loads in less than 2 seconds, whereis in rtmp port 80, the video takes about 8 seconds to get ready to play.Adobe AMS5 documentation does not recommend proxying port 80 through AMS process, as the HLS connections can hang.How can i use port 80 for Apache and AMS without having long loading times for ams ?Thanks for Help,Raphaël

Hi,I want to send images, as numpy arrays, from my Raspberry Pi to FMS in order to work with OpenCV in python.Here is what i have so far...... but it is still quite lacking.(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-librtmp)librtmp-pythonimport librtmpimport numpy# Create a connectionconn = librtmp.RTMP("rtmp://localhost:1935/myapp/file1", live=false)# Attempt to connectconn.connect()#packet = conn.read_packet()#print packet.body# Get a file-like object to access to the streamstream = conn.create_stream()# Read 1024 bytes of datadata = stream.read(1024)print data# Create a connectionconn2 = librtmp.RTMP("rtmp://localhost:1935/myapp/file2.flv", live=True)# Attempt to connectconn2.connect()# Get a file-like object to access to the streamstream = conn2.create_stream()# Read 1024 bytes of datastream.write(numpy.zeros((10,10),numpy.uint8))What other approaches could be employed to achieve this?

Spent about 5 days total over the last 4 months trying to get HDS and HLS to work, each time the "/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m" just comes back as a 404 error.I have gone through all the topics on here with other users haveing the same problem yet none of them get it working.,Does someone have a working HDL and HLS install of AMS and are willing to zip over the config files?Because I am so close to buying a Wowzar licence and id rather not have to recode my whole backend just so mobile users can watch streams on my site...Thanks

HiI used to have wowza but i switched to Adobe as i have heard good things about it.Anyway with wowza i had protection in place so that no one could "Leech" / Hotlink / Steal my streams and put them on there own websitesI had a domain lock so that the embed code was only allowed on my url/site and if it had attempted to be leeched it would say "error could not connect to server" on the other persons website.I was wondering is there anything like this that i can use with Adobe? If so a step by step tutorial would be awesome.Thanks in advance

I am testing out Adobe Media Server Starter 5, and creating a livestream using Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2. I believe I have everything working right now, by embeding the video in a webpage and I can see the livestream just fine.What I would like is to know how to require a password to VIEW the livestream.ex: I setup a livestream I only want 3 clients to be able to view. When they bring up the webpage they cannot view the video until they enter a username or password.Embeding the video in a webpage is not required (I am happy to use another method if required to achieve the authentication option).

i added a new app folder for my video chat software and it want connect it just stay on loading can any one help i am using fms 4.5

Hello,I am experiencing issues streaming an hds-vod media outside of my local machine, where AMS is installed. My AMS is configured on Machine A, everything works with the Video Sampler and a custom HTML page created with the embeded code provided by the Video Sampler. I have a Machine B with IIS 7.5 that creates an application with Machine A's folder to be able to push it online. Configuration is working, I can go on the website and access normal media (mp4/mp3/image files) but when I am accessing the HTML page to watch the stream, I get an error 2048.I have made sure that I have a crossdomain.xml in my rootinstall folder and it is very permissive, created with the help of the information/tutorial page on Adobe Devs. The Servers.xml is configured to give the good path.If I look in the logs, there is no error messages from either AMS or Apache....I am running out of options, anyone have information on this problem?EDIT: Still having the issue, I am updating the list of fix I tried and
