Question

Setup FMIS 4.5 to stream http

I am stuck. We are currently using FMIS 3.5 and no problems. Upgraded our dev server to FMIS 4.5 Install seemed to go OK.

Problems:

1. Flash Server Start page showing RTMP stream but not HTTP stream and gives 2032 error. I can't tell if it is serving HTTP or not locally. Need that...

2. Administrator does not take name and password. Have reinstalled several times and set the name and password to easy values and wrote them down. Previous versions have the name and password in clear text in the config file. In 4.5 the password is salted(?) so I can't simply get the value from there. I cannot start the administrator at this time.

3. From Live Encoder on Mac I can stream using RTMP to the server and see it using the normal settings I would use in FMIS 3.5. I can also stream as recommended in: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.html using the values there and the server connects and I start to stream. However I cannot see the stream in Flash Media Playback setup as recommended above. (at http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#) Error says sorry for the inconvenience.

Can someone help a little on this. Would love to get help from sales support engineer as we are not going to upgrade if I can't get it working.

    Note if in the Server start page I try to connect to the HTTP live streaming for apple iOS, Firefox 10 windows gives me an error "This browser is not capable of playing the HTML5 video. Please use an Apple Safari Browser with HTML5 video support." When I do use Safari I get the same error.

    I guess 1067 error is because of some visual c++ side by side config stuff, you need to install the proper VC redistributable for this. Check your event viewer logs to see if there are any FMS service related errors. If so , install VC redist 2005 and 2008 SP1. Try starting FMS and FMSAdmin services.

    Unless FMS admin service is started , you cannot log in.

    Also make sure Apache is started well. If not , the HDS cannot be viewed. Anyways, when you directly give the f4m URL in the browser, did you see the full f4m file ? Can you paste here what you are seeing ?

    Thank you !

    Where does one find these files?

    In the event viewer logs, all the FMS admin instances have a 263 error.

    Apache is started. There are two apaches here though we use it as our

    web server and you all install another one. Is that a problem? It

    doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

    Nikhil. Thanks for the help. Not 100% though.

    1. the crossdomain.xml file helped with the server start page. I can view locally and do NOT get the 2032 error.

    2. Frankly that sucks, but I guess that is a more professional way to do it.

    3. no luck. Still not able to get into the admin console.

    I reinstalled again to be sure I have the right admin password.

    ServerName is Server1 (the default)

    ServerAddress is localhost

    Username and password are correct. (I copy pasted)

    I checked in the services panel and it is not started. I tried to start it and it terminated unexpectedly with a 1067 error.

    Now the server start page does not show the http streaming again although the crossdomain.xml file is there as before.

    I need:

    1. To access the Admin console

    2. View http streaming files locally

    3. I cannot view my streaming file from Mac (which appears to stream and does not error). I am checking in http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/# the streaming file is at: http://www.mydomain.com/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m

    Please advise further. Also would love to talk to sales engineer.

    Hi,

    Thanks for moving to 4.5

    1. I guess you must have installed Apache along with FMS that is inbuilt. If that's so, please make sure this apache is started without any errors. Next , keep a copy of least restrictive crossdomain.xml file for testing purposes in the webroot. This should take care of this 2032 as well as the FMP playback issue.

    2. Admin password is now salted and no more written in the fms.ini file. Otherwise it should work just fine. I would only just ask to try again

    On the other hand, please also make sure that the FMS admin server is started. I guess it is the reason for failed log in. You should check all of your FMS logs for any errrors. PLease make sure the ports are open and available for FMS to make use of and the firewalls are all off for testing purposes.
