I have recently upgraded to FMS 4.5 from FMS 3.5.  I have a lot of old apps that utilized the FlvPlayback component 2.1, these apps have stopped streaming video.  All the apps that use the FlvPlayback Component 2.5 or OSMF or  other players like JWplayer work fine with the FMS 4.5.  Does FMS 4.5 not work with the old FlvPlayback component 2.1?

Using Flash and RTMP it's easy to go to a specific time in a VOD stream served from AMS using the seek method.Is there similar ability to seek to a specific time in VOD delivered to Safari on iOS?  The native video player provides a currentTime method, but I've not seen documentation anywhere to suggest currentTime or another method to provide rapid and accurate time based access from AMS.FWIW, Wowza documentation provides an answer:http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?326-How-to-specify-a-play-start-time-and-duration-for-HTTP-streamingTIA,RT

Hi,I have setup an Origin and Edge server to offload live and VOD content.  However, my end-users are pointing explicitly at the Edge server.  Is there any way to configure the setup so the Edge server (proxy) is transparent and the end-users only know about the Origin server?  I am trying to configure video split streaming with FMS.

Hi all,The Adobe live docs say that on call to getStats() an object is returned with bw_in and bw_outbw_outCurrent upstream (client to server) bandwidth for this client.bw_inCurrent downstream (server to client) bandwidth for this client.My application is sending audio to server and there is only 1 connection attached following is the results of getStats():stats.client_id = 5216658701766707524stats.bytes_in = 6121325stats.bytes_out = 3627275stats.msg_in = 30106stats.msg_out = 701stats.msg_dropped = 0stats.ping_rtt = 1stats.audio_queue_msgs = 0stats.video_queue_msgs = 0stats.data_queue_msgs = 0stats.dropped_audio_msgs = 0stats.so_queue_msgs = 0stats.dropped_video_msgs = 0stats.audio_queue_bytes = 0stats.video_queue_bytes = 0stats.data_queue_bytes = 0stats.dropped_audio_bytes = 0stats.dropped_video_bytes = 0stats.bw_out = 78stats.bw_in = 4057stats.so_queue_bytes = 0How could bw_in(server to client) be 4057, because in my case the client is only sending audio to Server so it should be cli

HiI have a licence fms5 and want to maintain it from admin console.But i cannot login into it.My fms5 is running on Linux.The admin server process is running and waiting with listen.The admin console login account is when it had installed.I access to the url url is as following.       http://<server ip address>/ams_adminConsole.htmI checked ams.ini and Users.xml, both were fine.When i was refused login, but there were not any messages in admin*.log.I access to it by remote, and telnet <server ip address> 1111 is getting timed out.The port 1111 should be touched from outer or it just use internal so it ok?-Ono

  I use two-level architectrue to construct web cam application. One origin server with two edge servers connecting to it. If user A conncect to origin server and publish stream to origin directly, subcribers connecting to edge node, and watch streams, both origin and edge are stable for long time.   But, if user A connect to edge node, and publish to it, subscribers are still connect to edge and watch stream from edge, neigher origin nor edge are unstable. The cpu and memory usage grows higher and higher as time goes on. Two or three days later, servers are not available, then we need to restart FMS.please be aware that we restart fms at the both vallies of phyical_mem digram.So, here my questions1: why servers are unstable if we publish to edge instead of origin2: is there alternative solution, because many user from diff geo with diff isp will publish streams at the same time, bandwidth is not ensured if all of them connect to origin directly.

Hello,First off, I am not a web developer, but I can put together a page if I have to. I have been tasked with setting up our Adobe Media Server 5 for live streaming and have successfully gotten the HDS and HLS streams running. I have created the two pages on our webserver to link to the HDS and HLS streams and I wanted to be able to integrate them into one page so the users don't have to choose the appropriate stream. Can anyone point me to a site or maybe an adobe help on how to do this simply and effectively? Does adobe have some prewritten code for this somewhere?

Is there any example VCL configuration for reverse proxying FMS 4.5, including examples of how to handle live stream failover features in 4.5.2? The documentation for FMS does not provide anything other than saying it is possible.  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS418c3323187a5d5740d39080135d5593e08-8000.html#WS418c3323187a5d5740d39080135d5593e08-7ffe)

Hi,How can I set on the server and on the player (.swf) side not to keep buffer.I want to set buffer time to zero,so even if the internet connection lags not to keep buffer and when eshtablishes connection again to start without having kept any buffer.It may result on lagy video but thats not a problem,i prefer having 2 sec lag than having best possible quality without lag.

I have a need to record and play back (live or recorded) videos with DVR controls. As such, I have downloaded and installed the DVRCast application for Flash Media Server 4.5. The trick is that I need to support videos from two different sources: Flash Media Live Encoder and a VBrick hardware encoder. While it is possible to have FMLE autostart the recording (live playback works properly in this case), I cannot have the VBrick device do the same.I have spent more time than I would care to admit consulting resources all over the internet and trying to configure DVRCast to automatically start recording during the onPublish event and stop recording during the onUnpublish event, but there is always something missing. For example, the playback of live video (with a StrobeMedia based player) does not automatically seek to the live point and there is no live section of the scrub bar despite the fact that the video duration still appears to be increasing. I know this functionality works on the

We stream a weekly radio show and even just testing with no listeners and there is no server load, our stream stops and starts continuously. It seems like a buffering issue but we're not sure where to start looking. It happens from many different locations geographically.I'll be happy to offer details if anyone has some advice.We are streaming our first live show with this new stream setup from http://www.pulpmx.com/pulpmx-show at 9PM PST tonight. We are actually just running some music right now as we try to troubleshoot what is happening.Thanks

Hello,I was streaming locally at about 300 kbps, about 10 seconds after I start streaming, it pop a brief message that said : "buffering" and the framerate drops to 90 kbps and there is about 4 seconds lag between my monitor and the stream result. (there was less then 1 second before)Any idea how can I fix this buffering issue?

Im using fms 4.5(windows machine) for a live video streaming application. The application is done in flex 3 and it is about capturing a camera input in the presenter side  and the live video will be streamed to the viewer using the fms. There is no problem if the viewer is using windows machine and ios. But if the viewer is using Android device, then video is not dispalying as it wont support flash player. Is there any way to stream a live video from fms 4.5 to Android device?Thanks in advance.

Hi,In my application, a publisher starts a live video and a receiver could recieve it through FMS rtmp. The problem:1) Once the receiver faces latency, due to slow connection, the latency keeps on increasing from 1 second to 10s, 20s and above. What i feel here is that the reciever's buffer starts accumulating video data and keeps on accumulating it and never flushes it.I am unable to find a property in netStream and Application.xml to empty the buffer of a poor connection reciever.How can i fix this issue, so that a slow connection receiver's latency remains constant around 2 - 3 seconds. Please help.Regards,Sahil.
