Is it possible to get an existing audio/video stream from a non-FMS server then publish that stream on my FMS server?Accoding to the API, the NetConnection, NetStream and Stream classes can connect to a remote server given that the remote server is an FMS server.I need to restream an audio from an existing rtmp URL but the server is not an FMS server. I can't find a way to deal with this so far.

Hi all,We just setup a fresh new installation of FMS 4.5. Everything works fine except HLS-Live application on iPad. There is no problem with livestreaming of video frames but the voice is discrete.

Hey guys!I recently moved to HTTP broadcast with FMS 4.5, and I noticed that if, for some reason, the stream is broken between my video origin (Flash Live Encoder) and the server, the stream won't resume after things are back to normal at the origin. I need to log on to the FMS server, stop the server, empty the folder from all the 'old' bootstrap and f4m temporary files, and restart the server. Then the broadcast come back to normal on all the web pages receiving the stream.Is there a way to avoid that, and have the stream to 'reconnect' when the source from Flash Live Encoder is available again?Thanks!-sv bell

I watched two videos by Jody Bleyle:1. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/single-live-video-stream-http-flash-ios.html2. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/live-multi-bitrate-video-http-flash-ios.htmlIn Video 1, she shows how to stream a single file.  I've done everything to the letter on this video, however, when she uses the videoplayer to reference the livestream.f4m file, there is none.  I've actually checked the folder location (apploications/livepkgr/streams/_definst_/livestream and there are files in there (.f4f and .f4x), but no .f4m which is the file she references in the video player.In Video 2, she shows how to create a multi-bitrate video stream.  Using the manifest packager and creating a .f4m and .m3u8 package and placing it in the webroot folder.  Here is the contents of my liveevent.f4m file:<manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/2.0">  <baseURL>http://live.stefanientertainment.com/hds-live/liv

Can I re-stream a stream from wowza to fms 4.5?I have a wowza stream with the url similiar to rtmp://wowzaip/edge/app.stream. Is it possible to restream this to fms 4.5?

Hello.We have a live video streaming application running on Flash Media Server 4.5. It usually has about 50-80 concurrent clients connections - and at peaks it can sometimes reach 200-300.The server log in the admin console keeps repeatedly logging this message:fiber pool full : 0 activeI have no idea what this message means, and googling it returns 0 results.Please, someone clarify what this message means...Plus:Every few hours the application in the flash server suddenly seem to stop responding - in a way that makes it seem (at least in the admin console) as though clients gets connected but never disconnect - and then the numbers of connecting clients seem to rapidly increase really fast to about 4000-5000 - and the server becomes unresponsive.I don't know why it happens but - probably is related to that cryptic message mentioned above.Please help.Thanks,Yuval.Invoke LTD.

Hello!We have bought Adobe Media Flash Server and installed it on our server but we have problems with it. Our sysadmin had configured server and we tried to play some video but with no luck.Adobe Media Flash Server works perfectly on server where it installed but when we tried to add code of our video to aspx page on our site it doesn't work. We tried all variants for rtmp addresses(internal and external IP addresses) but it didn't help. When we open our site we can see only black box which has hint "Movie not loaded". What can cause this behavior? Can anyone suugest what to do in this situation? Can anyone give some instruction for security configuration? Thank you.

I realize Adobe has removed the language saying that running FMS on a virtual platform is unsupported, but I have not found any indication that it is supported, either.  Also, I hear anecdotal comments about this being a non-recommended configuration, but I have yet to find anybody who has tested it in a production environment.So, my question: Can anybody point me to a production site running either 3.5 or 4.x on a VM system?Any info would be very much appreciated!Bill Bliss

Hi there.We have FMS 4.5 running as a re-streamer using another RTMP source feed.  Sometimes the source feed is offline and we have no control over that camera.  But when our clients connect to our FMS server they sit indefinitely waiting, as the FMS server tries to stream the content to them.  The connection never times out and the user is never prompted that the stream is not running.Is there any application configuration we can set up that will make the connection "timeout" if nothing is getting streamed?Using rtmpdump for testing we are seeing this <_onbwcheck> over and over again:DEBUG: HandleCtrl, Stream BufferEmpty 1DEBUG: RTMP_ClientPacket, received: invoke 32803 bytesDEBUG: (object begin)DEBUG: Property: NULLDEBUG: (object end)DEBUG: HandleInvoke, server invoking <_onbwcheck>DEBUG: Invoking _resultDEBUG: RTMP_ClientPacket, received: invoke 49187 bytesDEBUG: (object begin)DEBUG: Property: NULLDEBUG: (object end)DEBUG: HandleInvoke, server invoking &lt

Hi, i know the way to capture the mic's sound,My idea is to make an application to record songs palyed by other app,like Windows Media Player,Yes, Just capture from the soundcard, any idea?Thanks in advance

Hi all,I would like to ask what is the KEY difference between the Trial Version and the Paid Version of FMS?  Besides the limitation of connections to the server, is there anything else different between the two?  And lastly, if you purchase the license of FMS, are you able to install it in one server or multiple servers?  If you want to install it on multiple servers, what are we supposed to do?Thanks in advanced

Hi,The is probably a daft question but I'll ask it anyway.I ran some tests recently as we are looking at saving the streams that go the FMS 4.5. We normally stream inhouse at 1500 kbps, so I wanted to see what kind of storage I would need if we were going to save the streams.I did a test @ 1500 kbps, 720 x 480 using h.264 and saved as an f4v file.I limited the duration to 1 minute to see what 1 minute of saved video would be.It turned out to be 10. MB's which surpised me, I expected it to be higher, as the quality was very high.I know megabytes and Megabits are different, but I still expected a higher file size.I calculated that at 1548 kbps * 60s = 92881 (+ 48 kbps Audio )92881 \ 1024 = 90.7 MBThe file size was actually 10.2 MB.Is there a calculation I can use to work out the correct file size so that I can determine the Hard Drive sizes I need, or is it guesswork based on the H.264 codec?

I'm writing my fist AMS application. I come to AMS from Wowza, so I'm not new to the concepts of creating applications, just new to doing it Adobe's way.I have a very minimal application together so far that handles live streams. It does handle the live streaming ok; I can push a stream to it from FLME and watch it with the OSMF player just fine, but when I do so I get:We accepted a connection; uri was rtmp://184.73.200.27/liveSending error message: Method not found (FCPublish).Sending error message: Method not found (releaseStream).Add stream: 1084563Sending error message: Method not found (FCUnpublish).onUnpublish: killing off 1084563Someone disconnected from the applicationWe accepted a connection; uri was rtmp://184.73.200.27:1935/livein the debug window. Those error messages are what have me concerned now.My main.asc so far is:application.allowDebug = true;application.onAppStart = function() {        trace("The application has started");}applicat

I've been running an application on Wowza for over a year. The Wowza application uses a custom module I wrote (in Java, of course). I now want to migrate that application to AMS. Can anyone point me to online documentation showing AMS's server-side API? I've been doing some digging through Adobe's site, but so far all I've found is some links that no longer to the resources described.What I need to be able to do in my main.asc is:1) Look at the stream name coming in from encoders to pick off an authorization key, make a call to a MySQL server to verify that the auth key is valid for the stream name, and either let the conenction happen or error out;2) Determine whether the incoming stream should be recorded, and if it should:     A) Determine the name it should be saved as, and     B) Start recording,3) When the live event is starting, determine what video and audio codecs are in use and record those, and4) Watch the logs, identify messages that
