Hi,I did some testing with FMS Developer Edition and flash player 11. While testing I recognized that translating from RTMP to RTMFP produced a delay about 130ms, while there was almost no delay using RTMP.Setup:[flashplayer]==RTMP==>[   ]==RTMFP==>[flashplayer]                      [FMS]                      [   ]==RTMP==>[flashplayer]The publishing flash player used H.264 to encode the webcam video.Is there something that needs to be configured to reduce the delay from the FMS?Thanks for answering.

Hi,I want to use customised encoder to publish live steams to a FMS4.5 server?Is it possible to connect encoder and FMS4.5 server on HTTP protocol?i read in other articles FMLE can connect to FMS on RTMP protocol.Very urgent.thanks,Pooja Jain

Hello,Tutorial says:Create a new folder named AudioStreams at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications. Open the AudioStreams folder and add a new folder named streams. Inside this folder place a new folder named _definst_ and copy the four audio files in the Exercise to the _definst_ folder.I am confused when should we create definst folder and when C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\live\media folder?thanks.

Hi all,is it possible to use "start" and "stop" with HLS stream like rtmp stream?If yes, how?thanks in advance.

We are able to successfully use livepkgr to generate an HLS stream.  We are using FMLE as the encoder.  If we do any video switching, the HLS stream will die.  Should livepkgr be capable of video switching? 

I am following the Install Flash Media Server 4.5 and verify HTTP streaming to Flash and iOS article/tutorial located here --> http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/install-verify.htmlWhen I try to view the start page on my iOS device (updated to latest) I get a brief flicker of the start page then a blank white screen with a 'Get Adobe Flash Player' icon.This is really tripping me up. I've had a previous failure to get HTTP streaming working so Im trying now with a clean install on a new machine. I'm trying to follow 100% with the article mentioned above and I am getting different results.Please help.

Is there a way we can achieve this?

Hello,we are trying to stream some live channels over HDS/HLS , without using FMLE. We have configured our transcoding application to send streams to rtmp://x.x.x.x/livepkgr/live1 ... live2... live3... etc  and it seems that it is working fine.I have tested on both iOS devices and OSMF the links below: http://x.x.x.x/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/live1/live1.f4mandhttp://x.x.x.x/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/live1/live1.m3u8 and it works perfect. The problem is that FMS by default it always recording the streams . I am trying to find a way to disable the recording while streaming my content over http.Can you please help me?Thank you

I'm struggling to get things going on the HTTP live streaming side.I'm using FMLE 3.2 w/ Flash Media Server 4.5.Format: H.264Frame Rate: 29.97Bit Rate: 800KpbsProfile: MainLeven: 3.1Keyframe Frequency: 4 SecondsI'm streaming to:FMS URL: rtmp://hostname/livepkgrSTREAM: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveeventI have verified the stream is working by connecting via flash tortmp://<HOST-NAME>/livepkgr livestream?adbe-live-event=liveeventI can't get the stream to play in iOs/Safari. I've been trying using the instructions via this doc (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.html)If I try to access the following file: http://<HOST-NAME>/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8 I get FILE NOT FOUND.Looking on the FMS machine under /opt/adobe/fms/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent is see no files other than Event.xml and Manifest.xmlSo...it seems like no stream is being created in the livepkgr.

Hi,We have mutiple live streams(games) in our application and one of our requirement is to record the games when they start and end the record after stop.We have written a servere side Code based on  guidelines provided in the forums. Our Sample code looks like this.Client.prototype.startRecord = function( source, destination ){    trace("Recording Stream: " + source + " to: " + destination);    this.newStream = Stream.get(destination);    this.newStream.play(source)    this.newStream.record();};Client.prototype.stopRecord = function(source, destination) {    trace("Stopping Recording");    this.newStream = Stream.get(destination);    this.newStream.record(false);};We have written a PHP page which receives the Game Start and Game Stop and calls the FMS  startRecord and stopRecord functions accordingly.We tested this record manuall by passing the values to PHP page and reco

Currently I am working on the Http Live streaming for the ios device. I am following the steps given by the link below, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.html. Even though I'm following the steps given, I didn't get the Live Stream.I could not find the hls-live folder inside the application folder of the Fms 4.5.When I typed "http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr" in the browser, it displays as "The requested URL /hls-live was not found on this server".Can anyone tell how to solve these problems.Any suggestion can be useful to me,Thanks in advance.

Hello,I'm trying to publish 2 live streams from a linux server with2 blackmagic cards in it to a fms installed on the same machine. Any documentation about the way to do this?I've searched for docs/examples but couldn't find any.

Is there any way to perform client authentication in FMS 4.5.1 (username/password/session id) for live/livepgkr application? As without it anyone will be able to discover RTMP/HLS URL and access to live streams without any limitation. Thank you in advance!

Hi there, I'm sure this has been asked and answered a million times, but searching for "application" "buffer" "cache" "live" and "hls" isn't giving me any answers, so let's get to it...After I end a live stream (which I do using FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5) and I then start a new live stream with the same application name, the HLS stream just loops the last 30 seconds of the old stream. To prevent this, after I end a stream, I have to go to applications\livepkg\streams\_definst_\ and delete the buffered data there. Only then can I start a new stream with the same name as the old stream. Now... that can't be normal, can it? Is there a switch somewhere I can set to tell FMS to cut it out and stop buffering old streams?Thanks,Raul

When is there going to be a fix for the 2 day error which happens whenever an encoding client disconnects for more than a few seconds when connected to an FMS 4.5.1 (Streaming edition) server doing a live HTTP stream. It looks like this is to do with the 'Append' mode of recording but this is not changeable in the Streaming edition. Currently we have to run an instance of 'Servers Alive' to monitor the Bootstrap files in the streams directories and delte the contents of the directory if the Bootstrap is older than a couple of minutes. If you dont clear down the directory all the viewer will see is a black screen despite the encoder happily uploading a live stream. I know that this is a bug that is shown in the release notes but it has been quite some time since this has been released. We do a lot of live streams from some fairly remote locations and ADSL connections and power can be a bit flakey at times resulting in a disconnection. Having to run a 3rd party application to do what FMS

I have an RTMP application(LIVE). Using included security measures - i have provided a list of allowed domains in allowedHTMLdomains and allowedSWFdomains files. After that - all the RTMP live broadcasts - that hae previously worked at firefox - stopped working in firefox. why? And how do i fix that?

Hi!If I set EncryptionScope to "server" in httpd.conf (<fms>/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf) how or where do I specify the certificates for flash access if I want to use "ProtectionScheme FlashAccessV2".<Location /custom-hds-vod>    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true    HttpStreamingContentPath "../webroot/custom/vod"    JitFmsDirPath ".."    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks    EncryptionScope server    ProtectionScheme FlashAccessV2</Location>best regardsJohan Acevedo

HiI am looking for a way to set up individual Flash Access protection settings for each of some <Location /{url-path}> tags in httpd.conf in the Apache. I have found in the documentation that EncryptionScope can be set to content or server. If I set it to server and use FlashAccessV2 as ProtectionScheme, how or where do I specify the Flash Access certifications and so on?best regardsJohan Acevedo

Hi All,I have just upgraded one of our servers to 4.5.1 and that seems to have broken our DRM workflow.We are using HDS live streaming and Flash Access Server For Protected StreamingWe were using 4.5.0 and all worked fine. We upgraded to 4.5.1 using the same configuration files and now we do not get licenses delivered from FAX Server.We are using OSMF plater and the issue seems to be around how OSMF handles the DRMState. Prior to upgrade we could listen for DRMState.AUTHENTICATING and then pull a token from our backend to send to the FAX server.After upgrade, the player no longer triggers DRMState.AUTHENTICATING, and we dont trap a token to forward, The result is FAX expects token and gets NULL, so rejects the license request.Any help please (Nitin?)ThanksAH

Hi!We use FMIS (3.5) to distribute our videos, but how can I use HTML5 to view them without duplicating the video to the HTTP VOD directory.Can I point to the application FMS file location like I can with RTMP in some way?Thanks

Hi,I'm excited to say that we have video working with FMG!At this point we are experiencing a problem that I'm hoping for some insight into: The video breaks up a lot.  We have tried adjusting many of the values in rtmp.xml.  We have tried all the different options in videoqualitylevels.xml.It is definitely a bit better when using the "low" profiles and worse with the "high" profiles but we do not think it is a bandwidth issue as we can pull a lot more bandwidth from the same server if we pull a high bandwidth VOD or live stream originating from FMLE.We are seeing the following in our SipLogs. 03:07:14.817 -ERROR  - PARSER       - SIP Parser Error : Syntax Error, line 1, column 16 of the header value03:07:14.817 -ERROR  - PARSER       - SipParserStartParsing - Syntax Error - The parser failed to parse line 103:07:14.817 -ERROR  - MESSAGE      - ParseHeader - header 0x0x7f29a496

Using more expensive FMIS(interactive), 4.5.1.Have an odd behaiviour - have setup a dozen HDS/HLS applications. When first turning them on - they work as expected. BUT, if i restart FMS service - they all stop working. The only solution i have found - inside an application folder - there are two folders "events" and "streams'. If i manually delete the folders - and restart the encoders - everything starts to work again. What is going on, and how do i solve this?
