Question

Reset for "Failed to record livestream (disk quota exceeded)"?

Hi guys,

Running FMS Dev on Win 7 supplying HD video from FMLE on a Win 2008 Server.  RTMP already tested fine through my setup and I'm now working to evaluate HTTP performance.

Thanks to the excellent posts on this forum, I've identified that I'm getting log entries (in various nice places like core.00.log and \logs\_defaultVHost_\livepkgr\_definst_\application.00.log) telling me i've hit the "quota" which is apparently associated with the trial Dev license.

The only thing I can't figure out is how to reset the 30 minute window so i can see if the darn thing works!  I never saw it working - I must have been feeding video in from FMLE and fixing FMS / Apache HTTP stuff while the 30 minutes ran out.

I know Adobe needs to cripple the dev version to make money but how can I use it to proove to my bosses that it works?

I've done the obvious stuff like service stop/starts and rebooting - but the stubborn quota exceeded log messages persist each time I fire up a stream.  Saw some references to delete things in paths that don't exist, but otherwise all the adobe forum hunting and googling in the world has come up dry.... 

I may slap my forehead when I see the answer but I'm willing to risk the shame so I can make progress! 

Many thanks, Zeb

Please follow below steps:-

1. Stop the FMLE Publish.

2. Stop the FMS

3. Go to "livepkgr" application folder - do you "streams" folder. If you open "streams" folder - do you see "_definst_" folder. Inside "_definst_" do you see folders which are matching your streamname which you have used while publishing and inside this folder do you see files like <streamname>.bootstrap, <streamname><Seg><n>.f4f ...

   Now if you see content as explained above - that means content is still lying on disk. You need to delete - so go ahead and delete whole "streams" folder.

4. Now restart FMS

5. Restart publish.

Everything should be fine now. If you still having issues let us know.

That is awesome SE, thanks much!  Your tip did the job and we're moving forward again. 

To others:  Look in the root FMS install folder for "applications".  While I must comment that it seems a little fishy to store real time video data in the root application location (hence why i never looked there), it works so who cares.  (grin)  I'm sure it's configurable or symlinkable.

Thanks again!
