Two incoming streams to the same FMS box?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out whether or not it's possible to have two incoming streams to the same FMS server. Every time I try to search this information, I find stuff on having multiple outgoing streams, but nothing on multiple incoming streams.

The two streams will have the same content, but will use different video / audio codecs, and be set to different resolutions / bitrates.

I don't want to spend the money on another server, so it'd be great to know if FMS can do this. Thanks.

Correct answer

Yes, you can have multiple streams coming in to FMS. If they're coming in to the same application, they just need to have unique names.

Thanks for the response, JayCharles!

I have another FMS question that's related, so I will ask it here...

Is it possible to convert a single video stream coming into Flash Media Server into two separate video streams in different formats?

To be more specific: If I have a video stream coming into Flash Media Server at a high-resolution / bitrate encoded in H.264, is it possible to, on the Flash Media Server, convert that stream into a lower resolution / bitrate VP6 stream on-the-fly, and have the server output both streams simultaneously?

Thanks again.

No. FMS cannot transcode or compress video... it's bits in, bits out. If you need multiple renditions of the stream, you need to publish multiple streams.
