Questions

Hello,I have run into some limitations on the AMS (FMS) EC2 AMIs and how they work with content on S3. The bundled s3fs (S3 filesystem) on the Adobe AMIs does not properly read from S3. I have connected an S3 bucket to /hds-vod as per instructions, but the entire source file is read from S3 at each player request for dynamic segment/fragment. That is, there is no caching. It is unclear if it is s3fs, fuse or httpd that does not cache properly. And even if caching worked, how would the instance be able to cache many TB of data (for concurrent fragmentations)? It appears the entire "AMS AMI on AWS" solution is a bit of an impossibility to start with?Potential solutions and why they fail.Same problem on both FMS 4.5.1 and AMS 5.0.x AMIsServe content from local instance disk or EBS is not possible since we have many TB of data. The cost involving so would be prohibitive. EBS limit tops out at 1 TB, too.Update instance (with "yum update")?   No, all updates to the old s3fs system

Hello, Looking for some advice.  I'm attempting to build a small chat application. I have Flash Media Development server 4.5. And, im using ActionScript 3 code. For a chat application to work users have to connect to each other or, Flash Player has to know the where abouts and ID's of other Flash Players. How you achieve this in your application? I have no idea. If you have knowledge or have experience i would appreciate if you could answer this.Thank You.

I've setup HLS Sliding window and HDS Content Caching so viewers can rewind up to four hours of live video.I have my DiskManagmentDuration set for four hours.  However I have live video that last longer and noticed my disk drive gets full.  Is there a way to setup the server to start deleting the cached video once four hours have past???  Currently I have to empty contents to make space from the following:c:\program files\adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\ c:\program files\adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\This procedure interupts the live stream.

Hello, guys! Is it possible to run AFM Server on two different ports (one for http and one for https) at the same time? If this is possible, please, explain how could I set it up? Thanks in advance!

Where is the install guide or can you point me to the link for the installation for AMS 5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 64 bit?I am searching the the link from the download site is broken?Does someone know the system dependencies required for AMS 5 ?I have to upgrade the server here and want to test it out first before I wipe the existing server out.

Basically I've got an AS3 app set up that allows video chats between n number of parties, using RTMFP.  The problem is that when I tried to connect a computer from across the Internet, as opposed to our intranet, suddenly it couldn't connect at all to RTMFP for that app (though it was able to succeed in using an RTMP fallback that was in there).So after hunting around, I got the network administrator to supposedly open up 1935-1960 UDP for outbound traffic on the external IP for the FMS's server (same server as the AS3 app), and he apparently opened them up for inbound traffic as well.  I also went into Adaptor.xml and changed this element:<HostPort>:19350-19360</HostPort> to say this:<HostPort public="XX.XX.XXX.XXX:19350-19360">:19350-19360</HostPort> where XX.XX.XXX.XXX is the external IP for that computer.  At this point in time though, even though computers across the Internet are able to connect through RTMFP, the video/audio streams aren't g

Who do I need to contact at Adobe, I am trying to install AMS5 downloaded from our login and the license key will not work?Is there a number to call to get this resolved?An an unexpected error occurred.Please seek help from Adobe.  Falling back to theAdobe Media Server Starter.This is what I am receiving entering our License key from our Adobe Interactive Server FMS 4.

HiI found a stream link: http://112.197.2.11:1935/live/vtv1.stream/playlist.m3u8. This is Viet Nam television.I want re-publish it by my FMS server. Is this possible ??

My FMS applicaiton(FMS4.5) use a Array on the main.asc , anyone who connect to the server will change(remove/add) item of the Array, i'm worry about that if there is a synchronization issues with that?Is there any class i can use to lock/unlock the Array when i  modify the Array?THX!

We currently have an FMS instance setup and running on AWS. We provide for a number of clients and one has queried if it is possible to secure their videos in some way. We are using Strobe Media Player to stream the videos which I assume will effect the outcome. Could someone please provide me with some details on how best to achieve this.Many thanks in advance,Steven

I am trying to create a multicast player using flash for live stream . I have everything setup as per here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS7812b00092aae0 dc-2829dcd012a54a3ed1a-8000.html#WS125c3bae647242fd72273dbb12a597c37d4 -8000Sample application provided with Flash Media Server download has no source code for player which I can use . I need to change player to use parameters passed from HTML page that embeds it instead of using manifest . I also want to handle events like video play , pause , stream fail , volume change  .  I have been looking for pointer for last 1 week but there is no proper document about a custom multicast player .Can anyone please point me in to right direction ?

I'm streaming with HDS and all is well on iOS devices, Macs and PCs. My issue is with Android devices using mobile safari. My log file (below) seems to indicate that all is working.  On the droid my player just says "streaming".  I'm using manifest files with 300kbps, 600kbps, and 900kpbs.  When I drop the manifest file and hook-in a f4m movie file directly the player will play the video.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Any direction would be great. I'm using the custom OSMF implementation with custom sub-title support.  On the mac side I'm using an HTML player with subtitle support.  My issue is consistant if I use the newest OSMF download (e.g. without any custom features). Here is a snipit of my log file.  As you can see, it appears as if the server is delivering video fragments to the device.  They just don't play.  This is true on many Android devices.Line 1029532: 72.45.176.203 - - [26/Nov/2012:16:28:37 -0500] "GET /crossdoma

Hello,Two questions that I have not found an answer.I have adobe flash media server 4 on a Windows 2003 Server 32 bit and I would upgrade to version 5 standard.Is it possible to change from version 4 to version 5 without using version 4.5 and with an upgrade key ?Is it absolutely essential to use Windows 2008 R2 to install version 5 as I saw in the technical specifications?Best regards.

Is Flash Media Server available as an AMI in Amazon Web Services' new Sydney region?Thanks,Blake

I'm trying to set receiveVideoFPS for a NetStream connection on a live stream and I can not get it to update correctly. The only time the FPS actually updates is if the publishing stream is changed to publish with a keyframe interval of 1. Meaning that every frame is a keyframe. This would obviously not be ideal as it would require a rediculous amount of bandwidth.According to the documentation, the receiveVideoFPS can be called before or after play() is called, however neither update correctly. With keyframes seeming to be the culprit, I've attempted to set the keyframeInterval and FPS rate at a combo that should evenly divide to make it easier on the server. For example:myCam.setMode(512, 384, 12, false); myCam.setQuality(0, 90);myCam.setKeyFrameInterval(6);Should mean that either a target of 2 FPS or 1 FPS would be possible right ?? Because every 6th frame is a key frame, meaning 2 per secondbut both fail... ANY help would be greatly appreciated - I can't seem to find any responses

Hi,After upgrading to FMS 4.5.4 from FMS 4.0, we ran into this weird problem. FMScore started consuming 85 to 95 % of physical RAM. The drawback of it is after 3 to 4 days FMS crash down itself. Below are the  logs for the same. We are doing live streaming (kind of live video chat). There are almost 400 users and max 10 to 12 simultaneous video conf  during the busy hours.

Adobe apparently felt that making this information hard to figure out how to get to is somehow a good idea.  I need to be able to figure out exactly which license version for FMS 4.5 my company is using, and I need to see what the limits are for bandwidth usage and concurrent connections (both RTMP and RTMFP).  How would I be able to find this?  Thanks!

We apologize for the inconvenience."I have followed the same naming convetions in the tutorial, so the stream URL I want to play is: http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4mI am using FMS 5 (trial version), and I remember I had this working with FMS 4.5.When I open the stream URL from the browser, I get the below, which seems to be as expected.<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0"><id>livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent</id><mimeType></mimeType><streamType>live</streamType><duration>0</duration><bootstrapInfo profile="named" url="../../../streams/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.bootstrap" id="bootstrap1185"></bootstrapInfo>&

I have created the client-server application to switch streams and republish them as single continious stream to the remote server. I republish additional stream (myStream) by NetStream.publish() methode In the server-side script (main.asc). This is fragment of the long script:nc = new NetConnection();nc.connect( "rtmp://remoteserver/live" );ns = new NetStream(nc);ns.onStatus = function(info) {trace("Stream Status: " + info.code)if (info.code == "NetStream.Publish.Start") {trace("The stream is now publishing");}}ns.setBufferTime(2);ns.attach(myStream);ns.publish("livestream", "live");Unfortunately, republishing push-stream "livestream" vanishes soon in some minute after start.Is it possible to make push stream more stable one?Are there any methodes?
