Questions

I am working with FMS-3.5. I wish to create a rtmp video player. I am using VideoDisplay object for this purpose.When I provide the "source" value to videoDisplay object like "rtmp://192.168.17.94/vod/flv:sample" or "rtmp://192.168.17.94/vod/mp4:vc88852-4.mp4" it works fine as the videos are in vod folder. But when the videos are not in Vod folder then it does not play the videos.I tried this as well "rtmp://fmsexamples.adobe.com/vod/mp4:_cs4promo_1000.f4v" and it played fine because its on vod.But path like "rtmp://s3qgf9ppeu7apb.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/flv:sample" does not play at all.(Note: the above path plays fine with flvPlayer tool but not with my VideoDisplay object.)I am unable break this problem. Please help.Thanks,Sahil.

Hey,I've finally got my server installed with Windows OS. I was reading the FAQs for FMS and came across:What do I need to do in my network to prepare for Flash Media Server?      Flash Media Server can use multiple protocols over both TCP and UDP. All protocols can be configured and enabled or disabled. Ports and protocols must be enabled on your network for Flash Media Server to operate normally.    The RTMP protocol (used for video streaming and communication) default TCP port is 1935, but it can also operate over port 443 (for SSL) and port 80 using a tunneling version of the protocol. Flash Player has a built-in port priority that may choose to communicate over these protocols.    The HTTP protocol default is TCP port 80, shared with RTMP tunneled (RTMPT). The internal HTTP server will communicate to Flash Media Server internally using port 8134.    RTMFP (used for P2P introductions or multicast) uses UDP with a conf

Hi All.First of all, sorry for my very poor english. But I'll do my best to explain my problem. I've struggled to solve my problem during 2 weeks. Unfortunatelly, I couldn't find the solution. Please help me. You can be my sunshine. I'm developing VideoChat using Flex4.6 FMS4.5.  I found sample source code here. http://renaun.com/flex2/fms/VideoConferenceWDDJ/   But This App is not working properly.   When UserA is logged in, UserA is publishing.  I think everything is perfect.Weh UserB is logged in, UserA is Publishg&Viewing and UserB is Publishing&Viewing. Everything is pecfect. When UserC is logged in, all users are disconnected(see the FMS admin console). But some movie is woking(not all the movie). I don't know what is the problem? I guess...1. Bandwidth Problem2. FMS Configuration Problem.3. FMS Version.(I use Developer Version)4. Flex Compiler Version.I've tried so many times. (I formatted my system. I reinstalled Flex, FMS. And I check all the s

We are recording live streams on a Flash Media Interactive Server 4.0. In general, everything works fine, so there are no appliaction-issues. But sometimes (it is not reproducable yet) a stream stops recording without any notice or event in the application. All we can find is such a message in our core.log:2012-07-1700:55:4123594(e)2611178Error from libmp4.so: Received an video packet of unknown type..-2012-07-1700:55:4123594(e)2611423Failed to record  mylive.f4v (Unknown Error).-Can anyone give me a hint, where i could start searching for the cause of this error?ps:These streams aren't sent by Adobe Media Live Encoder .Thanks in advance

I am new to FMS but have been doing a lot of reading recently, still cant crack this problem though.I use a swf to take the users webcam input and publish to FMS 4.5. I publish using the below code:package {          import flash.display.Sprite;          import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;          import flash.net.NetConnection;          import flash.net.NetStream;          import flash.media.Camera;          import flash.media.Microphone;          import flash.media.Video;          import flash.media.H264Level;          import flash.media.H264Profile;      &nbsp

Hi!I started using Amazon, I have an EC2 server and one S3 storage.I have 2 interactive applications, one audio recording and other video recording,I want to save these files directly to S3 (not possible?), or maybe after connection closed copy/move the file imediately to S3, then, on my application, the path to play the file would be my S3.Is there a way I can achieve that?Really need some guide on that.Thanks.

Hello,We have live AV chat app which assumes to have up to 50 online rooms with 500-600 people in each room. Our idea is only one people can broadcast video in the room, others will be able just see it.We have quite strong server with 1Gbit/sec bandwidth. If we will get that average stream is 300kbit/sec, it means that we can support ~3,5k connections (1Gbit * 1024 * 1024 / 300 kbit). Is it correct? But actually, when we have more than 500 connections on server, time to time we get connection rejects. Any ideas?Also, CPU and RAM usage is very low and I believe that server has enough resources to process more connections...Another problem is when into one chat room we have more 100 people, video begins to slow down and twitch. What it may be and what should we do to avoid such behavior?We use FMS 4.0 server and Centos 6 64bit architecture. We tried to use origin/edge architecture, but it seems it quite useless with live broadcasting... Please advice which architecture is the best for us

Is there a default admin login for ams_adminConsole.htm on a new instance? I just launched an instance of ami-766cce1f and am trying to find my way through the available control interfaces. It's way different than running a Wowza server!

This stream can not be cleared

I am interested in getting some additional information about this object, it does not appear to be menitoned anywhere in the documentation of FMG other than in the legService.CreateCall method. It looks like it is used to be able to turn on or off the privacy header that is sent as part of the SIP INVITE message.  Are there other headers that can manipulated in the same way through this object? (ie, Special).  Any information that can be provided would be great

Just recently upgraded to FMS 4.5.  One annonyance I've been exeriencing is having to delete all contents in c:\program files\adobe\flash media server 4.5\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_\livestream folder.Everytime my live source video feed either stops or changes sources, playback never recovers.  I have to stop the FMS Services, delete the contents in the livestream folder, and start the FMS service for the live stream to come back up on a site.is there anyone exeriencing this?  Is there a way to remedy?

I finally got our FMS 4.5 server up and running and streaming multi-bitrate.  The only problem is I can't seem to verify what stream I'm viewing and I also believe the player is not switching among the various bitrates.  Internally testing among the LAN I'm not viewing the highest quality when I should be, the image appears to be the medium quality stream.  When I test the highest quality stream as a single bitrate stream it's very clear and crisp, but not when I use the multi-bitrate stream.  I'm using the StrobeMediaPlayback.swf that came with the server install located here c:\program files\adobe\flash media server 4.5\webroot\swfs\StrobeMediaPlayback.swf  When I right click on the player I am giving an option to select Low, Med, High but it does not work.  Selecting low does not degrade the video and selecting high does not improve the video.  I'm not sure if those options were intended for selecting the various bitrate but it's not working. 

I'm trying to get the metaData as usual with NetStream object from FMSbut in RTMFP protocol but doesn't work.However, with RTMP my code (which is coming from onMetaData example in livedocs)it works.Is it need any special metchod/properties to get the metadata with rtmfp ?ThanksFranck

Hi there,I am working on an application that involves 1080p live streaming to the new iPad.  My client needs this stream to be fully seekable at any time.  I am using the livepkgr application currently to stream the video from FMLE to Safari on the iPad.  I have been Googling extensively and found very little information regarding HLS DVR on iOS.  It seems that I am stuck with a 48-second sliding window no matter what I do.  I have tried setting the HLS Sliding Window length to 0 in the Application.xml file, but observed no change.  Any suggestions?

Hi there,Is there a official list of supported Operating Systems for FMS 4.5 ? I'm specifically asking as it comes up with CentOS 6.x as a "not supported" message during/after install, however, I'd personally consider CentOS 6.2 as the "standard OS version" by now. Please can you let me know what exactly is considered as "stable and fully supported" so that I can plan the roll-out of FMS 4.5 accordingly ? Also, if CentOS 6.x is _not_ supported - when will 6.x support be added (via Patch / Update) ? Regards,Alex

Hello , FMS how to prevent the client to pass a large number of bytes , such as one person put a 1G file in the argument , I also silly to receive ?Although there Client.setBandwidthLimit ( ) limit his maximum traffic per second , but is there a way , one more than the maximum amount of bytes to disconnect his.I assume that methods to determine the length is also obtained all of his transfer is finished , in order to determine out of it .

Hi everyone, we currently have an AMI in Amazon Web Services with v4.0 that we need to upgrade to v5 (with the rebranding in between) for our customer. So far it's going good, I have launched a new instance and started copying the configuration info to one another. This made me question how or what is the best way to maintain a backup of this servers, since it is an instance type and a reboot or shutdown erases all configuration.I would also like to know how can I take metrics of the RTMFP connections, as the instance we're using is a "large" type, and it is currently limited to 100 simultaneous connections. This was an issue we were having with an older instance; at some point the FMS stopped recording and we had to do a restart once a week.Regards,Martin

Currently I allow users to broadcast live Audio and Video and I would like to begin recording the Audio/Video as well.How can I go about this?Currently I'm broadcasting live streams using webcams and having AS3 stream it to our servers.From the articles I've been reading lately it sounds like I should record it to the server and play the recorded file.  Will this cause a latency higher than when it was being broadcasted live?

Is it possible to get vod content from a http adress ?

In order to encrypt Live HDS content with Flash Access V2, it looks like I need to reconfigure 4 files:rootinstall/applications/livepkgr/Application.xmlrootinstall/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/Event.xmlrootinstall/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/Manifest.xmlrootinstall/webroot/liveevent.f4mHere are my configuration files: 1.<Application>    <StreamManager>        <Live>            <AssumeAbsoluteTime>true</AssumeAbsoluteTime>        </Live>    </StreamManager>    <HDS>         <Recording>               <ContentProtection enabled="allow">               &nbsp

Is it possible to inject an advertisment into a live video stream? Or perhaps just play a FLV before the user is presented with the live stream?Any help of where to get started would be appreciated.Thanks,D

Hello I work for a video streaming company and we have extensive use of Flash Media Server. We currently use Adobe Flash Media Enterprise Server 4.5.2 for Linux. We currently have an issue where the livepkgr application hangs. So about after a week of starting the fms server, you are no longer able to run any livepkgr events. This requires a restart of the fms application in order for livepkgr to work again. I can see thru lsof that there are several open stream files for an old GUID within the fmsroot/applications/livepkgr/_definst_/streams folder. There are no indications in the logs of an error. Has anyone experienced this issue and/or can shed light into fixing this problem?Harry T.

I have two laptops with windows 7 and FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5 in them. Laptop A is working perfectly with the default settings but i cannot connect to FMS with laptop B. I have tried turning windows firewall off, setting fmscore, fmscore and fmsmaster to run under administrator privileges.The FMS starts correctly on laptop B (i compared the log-files on laptop a and b) and here is edge.00.log from laptop B (i censored my ip and host):#Date: 2012-08-09#Fields: date          time          x-pid          x-status          x-ctx          x-comment2012-08-09          12:37:37          3432          (i)2581173      &

We're using FMS 4.5 to stream live video and I would like to add DVR functionality to the stream. Is there a DVR example available straight out of the box using the Strobe Media Playback player? Do I need to write custom actionscript to get this functionality?Thanks,Dave
