Hi,
The Streams should be stored in root/..../applications/vod/
and then put another folder in the vod folder to use as a
specific folder for the streams you have like:
root/..../applications/vod/holiday
Place your video in that folder.
the rtmp path would then be:
rtmp://localhost/vod/holiday/video.flv
If it is a live stream you use the applications/live folder.
When streaming live, there actually will not be any video
reference there, it is basically a temp storage for the live video
to pass through.
You could then also record the live stream and safe it to the
vod folder for viewing after.
hope this helps.

I have a Video file that I need to encode to several f4v
files at different bit-rates, but it seems I cannot change the
bit-rate in Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
I used the previous version to encode, but I cannot encode to
f4v, only flv.
Is there something I am missing here?

Hi,
I have FMS 3.5 and WAMP running no problem.
It might be a good idea to remove and reinstall FMS 3.5 and
allow the Apache to be installed.
It isnt a core version of Apache and it does not have any
effect on my Webserver also running Apache, where FMS 3.5 is
installed also.
It seems to be a self contained package to run on the vob
folder in the webroot directory of FMS 3.5 only
I'm using it to test applications before deploying to the
webserver.
I think its main application is to display the sample pages
which generates the code automatically to copy and paste the new
Videoplayer for your own movies.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Is it possible to control who can stream to my streaming
server?
I have 4 locations in Europe that have a pc with a Webcam and
Flash Media Encoder Installed
Each FME is profiled to stream to my FMS and I have a 4
Camera Console Built for Live Meeting Situations. It works fine.
It seems though that the local "IT" guys have figured out the
rtmp streaming path and I have seen on FMS on several occasions
these guys having their own "Video Chats" just by changing the
stream name.
I want to stop this if possible.
Any suggestions or ideas would be grateful.

1) Lots of RAM and a decent Camera, the H.264 is better for
streaming pre recorded movies with a slight buffer, Live Streaming
will be slower.
Minimum FMS 3.0.2 as previous versions do not support H.264
2) FME allows you to stream live to the FMS server and also
record the stream for later viewing. I tend to record the stream to
the vod directory with a pre determined file name, this way I can
then built a link in advanve to allow watchers to view again
immediately.
3)Difficult unless you mess with server side scripts etc.
WebCamMax though will provide this solution.
4) Not sure about that one...................

Thanks for the quick response, I checked with our Admin guys

So I will update immediately.
Is there a big advantage to using H.264 over VP6 for live
streaming?
I have another forum question that went unanswered relating
to this issue asking, what are the required recommended settings
for both FMS 3 and FME 2.5 to reduce any lagging in video on a 1gb
LAN which should not have any?

Hi,
I have a HD Camera streaming a live feed through FME 2.5 to
FMS 3.0 using the VP6 codec and it works fine.
I have now been trying to get the same stream running via
H.264 and althogh FME 2.5 connects to the FMS 3.0 server and the
stream starts with FMS 3.0 reporting the stream no problem.
The Client application crerated with Captivate 3 using Flash
Player 9 for publishing no longer dispays the video.
Switching back to VP6 works again.
Any one have any idea what I should be doing?

Not sure if this was resolved but.......
Go into the applications folder and you should have two
folders in there called live and vod.
Live can be used for live streams and vod (Video on Demand)
can be use to pull pre recorded movies.
Go into the live folder and create another folder with a name
that is relevent ie test.
This folder will store temporarily the streaming video. Even
when you are streaming live, and you open the folder, it will still
be empty.
InFlash media encoder that is on the machine with the camera
you should put into the FMS URL:
rtmp://ipaddressofcomputer/live/test
in the Stream name bos, put in anything you want as long as
it is different to another stream from another compueter going
intothe same folder, without the .flv tag...ie: video
If you have no admin access issues to the FMS machine,
pressing connect should work and disconnect should be named on the
button.
On the root directory of FMS open up: fms_adminConsole.htm
You should see in the applications section a stream running,
saying it is connected via Netstream.

Hi,
Ok, I didn't realise you were looking for fade in style
transitions.
If you have a MAC then the obvious choice is CamCamx
http://b-l-a-c-k-o-p.com/CamCamX.html
But not cheap.
For the PC check out:
http://www.avtake.com/cutfour.asp
This app can take 4 cameras and has Live Streaming ability
for the web.
If none of these suit then hit google and look for:
Live Streaming Video Mixers
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Yes, you are clear.
What you are looking to do is have the ability to switch
cameras live during a session.
There is no straight forward method to do this however......
Check out WebCamMax.
http://www.webcammax.com/
This very clever software allows you to connect sevral
cameras on the computer and during a live broadcast will allow you
to switch cameras in WebCamMax. You can even switch live to pre
recorded movies, images etc....
WebCamMax can be used a WebCam source, just like your
webcams. It can even do Picture in Picture (PnP) with several
Cameras. Just make sure you have plenty of RAM even using more than
2 cameras.
So when you have WebcamMax installed, You start up one
instance of Flash Media Encoder and choose "WebCamMax" as your
Camera.
You then use WebCam Max as your "Control Centre", Whatever
Camera you switch to in WebCamMax will be streamed live through
Flash Media Encoder. I use it to sewitch between Cameras, and it
also allows you to switch to your desktop to show applications
etc...
I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
As JayCharles explained to me, you run two instances of Flash
Media Encoder on the Computer. I was running 1 camera on just one
computer and so used 3 computers instead of using just the one
computer.
In my new case, I had 2 Cameras on the one machine.
When you launch Flash Media Encoder it will detect any
cameras you have on that computer, you will get a dropdown box so
you can choose which camera you want to use in this instance.
Choose the camera you want.
In the FMS URL box type the rtmp path to your Flash Media
server directory you want to stream this video to using either the
ip address or web address of the FMS server followed by the correct
path to where the file will be streamed to for example:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Box type the name of the video file without the
.FLV tag, ie:
livevideo
Click the Connect button to connect the Video to the FMS
server.
When ready click the Start Button to start the stream.
So far you are streaming the video, but no one can see it.
Open a Dreamwaver page for example and go to:
Insert/Media/Flash Video (CS3)
or
Insert/Media/FLV (CS4)
Change the Video Type to Streaming Video
In the Server URI box type or paste in the rtmp address you
set:
rtmp://192.168.1.10/vob/live
In the Stream Name Box type in the Stream name you set in
Flash Media Encoder:
livevideo
The Skin type must be HALO, (Dont understand why you get no
choice)
Set the width and height of the Video on the page
Tick the Autoplay to play a pre recorded file, or tick Live
video feed if it is live.
Click ok.
If everything is correct then when you lauch the page the
video feed should be playing.
Lets assume it is, to add a second camera you just repeat the
same steps.
Open another instance of Flash Media Encoder on the Computer
you already have a feed running.
It might complain that the camera is already in use, as it
might try to connect to the same camera on the running application.
Open the Camera source dropdown and now choose the other
camera that should be available.
Put in the same info for the Server URI as you will also
stream to the same folder.
Chnage the Stream name now to:
livevideo2
Click Connect and also Start.
Open the Dreamweaver page you created for the first video.
Follow the same steps as before to create the Video on the
page
changing the name this time to livestream2.
You should now have 2 live video feeds on the same page using
two different cameras.
hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I had an idea that was the
case as I could not find anything on the web.
We actually use WebcamMax 5.0.5.8 on one system as the moment
and it is useful for PnP livestreaming but again the background
effect is gimmicky and not a pro recommendation.
We have over 120,000 employees, and in the past month we have
had a global travel ban put in place (I've had to cancel my booking
to MAX 2008 in Milan) due to the current economic environment as a
precaution.
Because we have several dedicated training Departments who
rely on travel to provide trainings, obviously the ban has created
an impact....so I'm everybodies friend now, as I'm responsible for
Training needs in Europe. As I have been running live streaming
video trainings for 2 years now along with recorded training
material everyone wants the same ability but with "adjustments".
Strange how 2 months ago the same people thought live
streaming was a gimmick!!!
Anyhow thanks for the input...I might suggest the
greenscreening live video to the Premiere Pro Forum for the CS5
release perhaps.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realise you could run more than
one instance of Flash Media Encoder at the same time. I've been
putting 4 cameras on four machines up to now. This will reduce my
maintanence.
As a quick sideline, is it possible to have two cameras, one
live streaming with a person in front of a green screen, and the
second camera containing the backdrop that you want to use, and
then be able to combine both while streaming live?

Hi,
Agreed. it can be a very expensive to implement FMS. It is
though free to use up to 10 simultaneous users, obviously if you
will have heavier traffic then it is not enough. Probably should
not mention it here but you could for the moment try RED5, which is
a free open source option to FMS which allows unlimited users at
the same time. We used it for a while until we had the structure in
place and everything running as we needed it.
Once the budget was approved we then just switched to FMS,
but RED5 does the same thing.

Hi,
You should look at Streaming the video rather than
Progressive downloading.
Progressive downloading waits until the video is downloaded
to the users computer before playing which can be slow.
Streaming Video plays immediately, does not download to the
users machine and allows immediate scrubbing along the timeline as
it only downloads and plays what you request.

Check out ProForm 3 by Rapid Intake.
I use it just for that purpose.
I create the Training lessons with Captivate and save them as
FLV files, then use ProForm to create lessons"Chapters", each page
is streaming an FLV file which can then ouput as a SCORM/AICC
compliant Course...which I then upload to by LMS. It can also
convert Powerpoint presentations directly into a lesson.
Its faster and so reduces my workFlow time.

Hi,
I have created a Live Streaming Video Console in Captivate, I
used Captuvate 3 as I want it to be SCORM compliant to track
visitors to the module.
I have 7 "Monitors" on the screen, One main one which is the
Trainer Camera, and Six small ones where the users can also view
other Students watching the live training session. This all works
perfectly well.
however, alot of Screen Real Estate is taken up as all Seven
movies have Navigation bars below them, which in this case are not
required as it is just view only.
Is it possible to only have the movie screens without the
Control bars at the bottom of them so I can tighten up the
screens?

Hi,
Thank you for that, I do not know how I missed it...I've been
searching through it all week. It works fine now.
As a by the way, I also have the Essential Guide to
Dreamweaver with CC, AJAX and PHP and bwtween them I get most help.
Do you know of or are you planning a future book to build
applications other than Blogs and Photo Galleries, because it seems
that nearly all books on Web developement whether it is PHP, ASP or
Coldfusion seem to concentrate on these applications only.
I also subscribe to Lynda.com and again all the Video
trainings involve building the same apps.
I discussed this last year at Adobe MAX in Barcelona and alot
of people agreed that some more diverse applications would be
useful. I'll be in Milan in December also......
For example....
Training Calenders
Meeting Schedulars
Online Document Libraries ( I built one of these myself for
work purposes again for training teams to organise PDF, Word,
Powerpoint etc documents based on team skills etc) but it took a
while.
I'm experimenting with Flex at the moment to see if I can use
this also.
Just a thought really.
Thanks for the pointer.

Hi,
I have used your method for a news blog from PHP for
Dreamweaver 8.
When no image is selected, firefox does not display the image
container with the red X.
However, most of our users are still using IE6.
In IE6 when no image is used it shows an image holder with
the red x in it.
Is there a way to remove the image place holder if no image
is displayed?
Also when no caption is used, in all browsers you get a
"Caption here" in place of the caption.

That did not work. I deleted the MM Files and the error still
returned.
Again, Functionality is unaffected which is completely
unusual for a coding environment.
I have no access to the recordset bindings, so I handcoded
the references instead, and it works fine.
I took the issue to our worldwide Web Developement
Department, as they are responsible for the Organisations Corporate
and ECommerce Sites and they had a look. (I look after the Training
Intranet)
They use Visual Studio for the sites and I gave them all the
code.
They ran a debugger and found nothing wrong with the code,
Which is why it runs fine.
After a few hours of testing and retesting and checking all
the lines of code (They get paid the big bucks) they concluded that
the error is caused by a bug in Dreamweaver CS3 unable to parse or
recognise changes to either MySQL Syntax or PHP 5.
Dreamweaver has added the $SearchString variable as a Table
Column in the Bindings for some daft reason based on the SQL
Statement, which is causing the error. It also added another Column
called 'Real', I have no idea where that was coming from. It also
added a third Table field tothe Recordset bindings called MATCH.
My Local testing Servers (3 of) all use WAMPserver 2 and
generate the same eror.
The live Intranet Server, which is a new Win2003 Dell Server,
uses IIS6 and also generates the same error when I "test" it
through CS3.
So, I dusted off a copy of Dreamweaver 8 installed it, and
guess what....no errors.
They said the immortal words that programmers never say: "
Ignore the error, it wont affect functionality".
Just thought I'd let you know.
cheers for the help.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply, but no luck I'm afraid. I tried a
variety of different "" or ' ' permutations but a variety of errors
appeared.
The Search actually works fine, strangely enough, but I
cannot acess the Recordset dropdown. When I click the + sign, it
has the MM_ERROR: MySQL Error#: 1054 Unknown column 'SearchString'
in 'field list' error.
Another strange occurance is that many changes to the SQL
Code does not stick. I have to go back in a sometimes half the code
is missing.
I also think it has something to do with the first MATCH
request.
When I do get access to the Binding data by removing part
ofthe SQL code, a field reference of
MATCH (presentationID,presentationTitle,
PresentationName,ProductlineName,
LevelName,RoleName,presentationDescrip) AGAINST (SearchString IN
BOOLEAN MODE)
shows in the drop down menu.
Very Strange.
Oh I need to add that I added a homemade condition to the
$SearchStringSQL variable.
At the top of the Results page I added:
<?php $SearchString=$_GET['SearchString'];?>
<?php $SearchStringSQL = "+".str_replace(" " , " +",
$_GET['SearchString']); ?>
This allows several words to be typed into the Search Box,
and only records containing ALL of those words will be displayed.
This allows the users to filter deeper as one or two words could
still produce dozens of records.
Again, it works fine on the Server running mySQL 4, which is
now the backup of the Server running mySQL5 so I don't think this
has a bearing on the issue.
I'm stumped...............

Hi,
I have the Following SQL statement that filters for a Search

FROM tbpresentations
WHERE MATCH (presentationID,presentationTitle,
PresentationName,ProductlineName,LevelName,RoleName,presentationDescrip)

The SearchString Variable has the following parameters:
Name = SearchString
Type = Text
Default Value = -1
Run-time Value = $SearchStringSQL
updating to SQL 5 returns the error:
MM_ERROR: MySQL Error#: 1054 Unknown column 'SearchString' in
'field list'
Any ideas?
