Questions

Currently running into choppy video on our live streaming sessions. It seems that some users experience good quality and others bad quality but it is sporadic. Sometimes a user will experience a bad video (browser window) and restart the session and the the video will be fine (at times it requires multiple restarts). I'm trying to find the root cause of this and we've almost narrowed it down to some server settings. We also have a seperate VOD stream that runs off the same server but it seems to play fine, only the live stream has issues. Any thoughts?When we do a live broadcast we can have up to 50 clients connected. We have ran network utilization captures and we are not experiencing bandwidth overutilization. Adobe FMIS 3.5.1flash 20 fps 1280x720 800k VP6Server: Windows 2003 SP2 Xeon 2.73 ghz. 2GB (virtual server)Client(s): Windows 7 64 bit. Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.62

Live streams which are played for longer than 20 days may stop playing. Is this a bug?  How can  I fix it ?

Hi!We're connected to a turbobridge.com conference. It sends 2 SIP OPTIONS messages every 10 seconds, and FMG responds 501: not implemented. Can we implement it somehow, or specify an answer?         Also, I've set the doRegister function to 0, but the FMG reregisteres the call very often, about every 115 secs. I changed the registrationExpiration, but it's still being called according to the wireshark trace. Is that a bug? How can I get less SIP REGISTER calls? It makes glitches in the audio every 2 minutes.Thank you,Gabor

Our client is an estuary – like a state park .  We have built them an interactive application in Flash.  It is a compiled executable running on Windows 7.  It has been coded in Actionscript 2.0.They want a camera fixed on a section of beach.  The feed from this camera must be delivered as a stream to the kiosk hosting the Flash application.  I am the one actually finishing up the Flash programming on this project.We need to know what hardware to install, and how to configure it to feed the kiosk.  I assume Flash Media Server needs to be integrated, but I am not a video or streaming guy.The kiosk has an internet connection.  I am pretty sure that Flash can only use FLV or h.264 (or some variety of it).  It’s not my area of expertise, but once I have a URL with the proper stream I can handle the interface, etc.A security company has already installed a camera, but I am getting nowhere trying to make it work.It HAS to be viewed in IE and requires an

Is that possible in FMS interactive? By regular, integrated means of the server itself? Without writing any code, just by using regular administative tools for FMS? Just simple "restrict encoders by IP" function. Where is it?!

I'm streaming to FMS 4.5 using FMLE 3.2. I am successfully streaming both HLS and RTMP and delivering with a JWPlayer. After about 30 minutes, HLS stops working and if I reload the webpage on my iPad, I just get the 30 second buffer. But RTMP Flash streaming keeps going. So the encoder is file and the handshake between the encoder and the server hasn't broken. I set up my server according to Lisa Larson-Kelley's tutorials at Lynda.com, so I can't figure out what I missed. What could cause HLS to stop delivering after a successful connection?Thanks,Raul

Taken from http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=103456.0"My webcam works great with Skype and Cheese and it used to work great with a program called FaceFlow but now when i try to use it with FaceFlow i get the following pop-up: Adobe Flash Player can't locate a camera on my computer?

I need to configure FMS server so that it will listen to only RTMP request and disable other services like HDS and PLD.What configuration is required for this arrangement?

Hi All.First of all, I'm sorry for my English. But, I'll do my best to explain.I'm developing Text Chat App with FMS 4, Flex 4.6.I want to count how many users in.I've searched enough. And I made some codes.Server Side Code(main.asc)-------------------------------------------------------------------application.onAppStart = function(){ trace("hihihi");}application.onConnect = function(client){ application.acceptConnection(client); userCount = application.clients.length;  // Define new client function for a nc.call(). client.callFromClient = function() {  return userCount; }}application.onDisconnect = function(client){ trace("Connection is disconnected!!!"); userCount = application.clients.length; trace("length is " + userCount); for(var i=0; i<application.clients.length; i++){  application.clients.call("setUserCount", null, userCount);     }}SimpleChatTest.mxml-------------------------------------------------------------------<?xml version="1.

Hi,we've recently downloaded and upgraded FMS from 3 to 4.5 on a server that has this configuration (before upgrading):- Centos 5.5- Apache 2.2.3- mysql 5.0.77- php 5.3.3- perl 5.8.8Everything was fined before upgrading since 3 years. We decided to upgrade FMS to provide HLS to our customers.Once we upgraded FMS and installed Apache that comes with the installer, we encountered lots of errors.- no more php, all scripts were visible, so we had to reinstall php module; and by the way, how can't we have the logical directories for apache (like /etc/httpd/,...) instead of /opt/adobe/fms/Apache... - no more perl, cgi script are also visible...- and now, we are unable to connect to mysql database. Whatever we do, the following message appears:Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mysql_connect()modules are in the right folders but no way....If someone can help us,regards,Tony

Using FMS/FMLE, I did a live broadcast.  I have all the .f4f files (1.6G) intact and saved off.  I want to be able to repackage, convert, flatten, etc. these streaming fragments to something that can be imported into Adobe Premiere Pro or other applications to product a DVD.  I've seen a lot of posts, but no answers.  Any ideas.  I don't want to think that I wasted 4 hours of a live stream and can't capture off the data.

I'm having various issues with the livepkgr stream.  I just did a live event and have over 1.65 Gb of livestream .f4f files, etc.  So here are my questions:1. Why is my OSMF Player showing only "Live" and the barberpole in the timeline doesn't allow me to go back on the stream?2. My goal is to be able to record the stream and later play it back.  Reading other posts, there is no way to repackage the .f4f fragments into an .flv or mp4. So, what is the best way to record a live event, provide a live stream and play it back at a later time?  It is interesting that my .m3u8 file (HIS) plays back some of the stream but only the last 20 seconds or so.Application.xml file in /applications/livepkgr folder has:<AssumeAbsoluteTime>true</AssumeAbsoluteTime>Event.xml in /applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent folder has:<Event>  <EventID>liveevent</EventID>  <Recording>    <FragmentDuration>4000</Fr

Is it possible to stop a (live) Stream from playing for a user, but keep his NetConnection open for eg chat functionality?I only see a setBandwidthLimit to accomplish something similar to this, but then, if BW is set to 0, chat won't work.Why isn't there a built in feature to do something of seemingly common necessity like Client.stream.stop/change function to stop or change what video playback the client sees?

Hi. I'm streaming live video through FMS 3 and passing the streams to another FMS application to be recorded. While recording, I inject some custom metadata into the stream. Once recording is finished, I move the flv to another location and update my database with the metadata contained in the stream for later reference. All this succeeds without a problem. However, only sometimes, the default 'duration' metadata (note - I never mess with the duration metadata, merely insert my own fields that are required for other reasons) is COMPLETELY wrong! I know this for a number of reasons: 1 - Another table in my database has information on the duration of the recording via another method, and the metadata in the flv no where near reflects this value 2 - I use Rich FLV ( http://www.richapps.de) to view the metadata and the duration contained in the metadata does not relate to the total time of the movie in these flv's with the corrupt metadata. 3 - The actual length of the movie in seconds

Hi all,Does any one have any links to all error code outputted when trying to connect to FMS.eg 2302 = NetConnection.Connect.FailedAny site for if any one knows the full list i would be gratefull.Regards,Paul.

Hello, we have some strange problems.We have 2 FMS 4.5 servers, one working as origin one as edgewe are running our custom DVR application on Origin server, wich records streams.Clients are connecting to edge server and they can watch live or rewind back and watch recorded stream, the problem is after too many clients are connecting to edge server the rewind option becomes unstable, form our investigation we determined that rewind working bad only on that parts of file wich is not cached on edge server yet (caching is working fine when there are not too much clients).We have currently upgraded from FLV Streams to H264, FLV was much stable and was able to handle much more connections...can anyone suggest anything? we have already tried different edge servers ( i mean, different hardware and fresh installs) but the problem is same everywhereif you need more details just ask and we will provide.Thanks

I'm using the step() function in FMS 4+ and getting inaccurate results.  The NetStream often reports to me (via .time()) a value one frame lower than where the video actually is.  I was reading about achieving frame accurate seeking (http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Enabling_accurate_seeking_in_video-18938.html) and honestly don't know what it's trying to explain.  It says FMS can create keyframes on the fly, so since I'm using RTMP should this just work, or is there something else I need to do?  I am using inBufferSeek.Thanks

Hi!I'd like to ask a few questions:Is there a way to implement TLS, SRTP, and SIP Option messages to FMG?Also, can I change the user agent string? I'd need to..Thanks,Gabor

I'm Hi!I'm triing to conncet FMG to our gateway.It is not working, and I tried a lot of combinations in the sip.xml file.I wanted to get some trace of the sip communication with Wireshark, so I've installed it in the Windows 2008 server, but it is not tracing any kind of sip communication. Not, when I dial, and not when I restart the server. Any idea what am I doing wrong?( I want to connect to sips: Stuff#[room]@[domain].com . I could connect to it from XLite, but not from FMG so far. )Thanks,Gabor

I currently use FMS 4.5 to steam Live Technical Videos.Hooked into Flash Media Live Encoder is a Roland VR-5 which lets me have multiple Camera switching.I want to braodcast also a few live Audio only streams.I could easily use the VR-5 which in turn has a Behringer Audio Mixer attached to allow up to 16 Audio devices to be mixed in, and then just turn off the Video option in Flash Media Live Encoder but:I don't want to have to put a video window on the Webpage. I just want an Audio controller.So how can I use FlashMedia Server to just stream a live Audio feed?Can you recommend what I can do?

Hello,We are develoing using your FMS 4,5,1,484 and would appretiate if someone can help with some important questions.1. We are recording audio locally on the user's computer using Flash SampleData, is there a method to send a bytearray (or WAV) to the FMS for encoding to MP4?2. We could record directly to the FMS but we are getting delay that we cannot calculate, is there something similar to Adobe FMSCheck that could give us information on the server's response including fractions of seconds? Currently our testing with Adobe FMSCheck gives us information in seconds and we the delay we are getting is less than a second.3. Any other idea on how we can record to the FMS directly and avoid the delay? We are having the user recording on top of some original music and we need the recorded audio to be synchronized with the original tracks.Please advise. Thanks!

Hi There: I would like to include Flash Live Media Encoder  libraries (i.e. support for Flash Media Streaming)  in an application I am developing. Ideally, this would be without having to install the FMLE Gui (though I can live with that); in a manner similar to WireCast or Tricaster. Could someone explain how one might go abount legally "bundling" FMLE 3.2 support etc. ThanksJeremy Littler
