Question

Streaming over 2 FMS

Hi,
we need to stream a live video over more than one FMS.
We connected a camera to first FMS and publish a live stream. That works fine.
Now, the second FMS (FMS2) is in a different location and hosts the videos for our second office . To reduce the bandwidth over the internet we would like to stream the live stream from FMS1 to FMS2, so that FMS2 can deliver the content in the second intranet (one to one to many).
I hope you understand this.
Maybe one of you can help me, maybe with a sample.
Thanks in advance!

    An alternative method is to configure the second server as an edge server for the firs one. No servers side scripting nessesary, just few .xml changes.

    FMS 3 has a feature called "Multipoint Publishing" that will allow you to do exactly what you described. Using a little bit of Server-Side Actionscript, you can detect when the stream is first published to server 1, and republish it to server 2.

    More information can be found online at livedocs.adobe.com, or in the Flash Media Server Developers guide.
