Question

Setup + Creating multiple streams (each requested user)

Hi,

What I would like to do is install and setup Flash Media Streaming Server 4 (I will be using development server and then purchase after I see it is working). After the server is setup, I want to integrate it into my website so that users can view the stream.

More specifically, I want to make it possible for website users to request their own streams, so that they can stream on the server to all viewers as well.

Here is a good example using a website called Own3d.tv, which does exactly what I just described:

  1. A user goes to Own3d.tv and registers an account named User1
  2. The user, User1, goes to his Profile and hits a button to "request a stream"

  3. Once this happens, the User1 profile now says:

    1. FMS URL: rtmp://live.use.own3d.tv/live
    2. FMS Stream: User1_12345_5su69bfn0pnz   (In this case, the user's stream was created for him. 12345 is his "Own3d ID")
  4. Now that this user, User1, has his own stream, he can broadcast to his stream using Flash Media Encoder, a program called XSplit which allows Custom RTMP server, and any other program that allows Custom RTMP Server.
  5. A viewer such as you can view his stream when it is online by going to Own3d.tv/live/12345 (remember his Own3d ID from Step 3?)

I want to do this very process. I assume if I install and read a beginner guide, I can get the server to run for one stream. I'm curious if there are any guides for creating multiple streams for multiple users, as I described above. I believe also that authentication is required (Own3d username and password when adding a Custom RTMP server in XSplit)

Thank you for the help.

    Hi,


    Thanks for your interest in FMS 4.

    Most of the things that you want to acheive can be done using server side scripting on FMS or using adapters for FMS (for authentication etc).

    Some of the web services on FMS can also be used to achieve specific responses.

    help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/ssaslr/index.html should be a good starting point to know more on server side scripting and how to make unique multiple streams on the basis of unique ids and other methods.

    Thank you !
