Recording sound without Flash Media Server?

Hello,
I am totally new to Flash Media Server I need to be able to record sound via a Flash app and save it to a server preferably without the use of a Flash Media Server type setup. There is no requirement for live streaming.
Is it possible to record the sound and save in memory then pass the data/file as a query parameter to the server?
I don't even know if I've posted this in the correct place... any help/guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use any publisher to publish like FMLE and publish the streams to the application in applications folder suppose application name is sampleApp then create a folder in applications folder of FMS root directory and then keep the below mains.asc file which does the recording of published streams to the sampleApp application.
//main.asc
application.onConnect=function(clientObj)
return true;
application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("in application publish");
streamObj.record("record");
application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("on unpublish");
streamObj.record(false);
I think this should solve your problem.
Regards,
Amit

Streaming live audio without flash media server

I have an mp3 player, that I would like to add live streams to.
here is an example url of what I'd like to stream. http://85.17.174.181:6968
is there a way to do that in flash AS3?

>>don't tell me I need the server to include me in their cross-domain policy???
Always... servers that allow public access will typically have a wildcarded cross domain though. And in that case you just need to tell the sound load to check the policy file using SoundLoaderContext like so:
var context:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(100, true);
var a:Sound = new Sound();
a.load(new URLRequest("http://85.17.174.181:6968/"), context);
a.play();
It doesn't look they have a crossdomain.xml file in place though...

Record playback is very slow between Flash Media Server and Flash

hi all
I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
that the flv record is being created properly.
Then if I try to playback the record like
NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
slow, for both of audio and video.
And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
(NetStream.play("streamName"))
Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards

In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to use smartseek functionalities without FMS(flash media server)??

Hi,
    Is it possible to use smart seek functionalities to play files local files without using flash media server(FMS).
    I am currently using videoDisplay components but can switch to netStream component if it is possible without FMS.
    As I have to seek frame by frame but the current seek() function doesnot provide that functionality.
    Any kind of suggestion is most welcome.
    Thanks in Advance.

I'd like to revive this topic as I just purchased an ATV. I do like it but I am becoming very familiar with the limitations of the ATV.
I used to have a Snyology NAS server but it did not serve/stream the iTunes well enough to my stereo. I have a lot of photos of my children as well as movies and wanted to see more of them so I purchased the ATV as I knew the Syno server/NAS would be bricking soon.
Once the ATV is loaded it is fine for that content. But if there is other content on other computers well, they have to stream and the content on the ATV is not accessible to anything other than the stereo or TV that the ATV is connected to. So, finally, here is my question:
Which NAS streams VERY WELL with the ATV? Correct me if I am wrong but the NAS has to have iTunes imbedded within the server; yes? Secondly, is the best solution for serving an ATV as well as having all media content accessible to all LAN computers a Mac Mini?
So which is it? Please recommend an NAS that can serve iTunes media (music, photos, video) to an Apple TV or is the best solution a Mac Mini which acts like a NAS and streams all media content to the Apple TV and ATV will stream it to HDTV through HDMI , etc.
The ATV is great with the High Def.., wide screen, Dolby 5.1, HDMI port , etc. Just need a way to have the media accessible to everyone on the LAN as well as serve/stream to an already purchased Apple TV.
Thanks for the help,

Flash Media Server on IIS7.5 without Apache

I am trying to install Flash Media Server on IIS7.5 without Apache. Are there any Whitepapers or instructions on how to do this? We are a IIS shop and want to avoid using apache if possible.

Check this link : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS02f7d8d4857b167770a4686812a808b 6918-8000.html

Live Streaming video and Flex2(3?) + Flash Media Server?

I've seen alot of topic on how to create video sites for
clips, etc. with Flex and Flash Media Server, but how about live
streaming video, like a concert or a seminar. I can't find any
information on this at all, could anyone point me in the right
direction?

What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
// get camera and mic
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
default mic
// if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
// create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
before
// so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
ns.attachCamera(cam);
ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
to live+rec
// connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
might need to
cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
uses) in order for this to work.
Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
help.

OPTIONS OTHER THAN FLASH MEDIA SERVER

HELLO ALL,
I am trying to create a webcam recorder, i would like to know
if there is a way of doing this without the use of the flash media
server or an online adobe server account.
thanks in advance.

There are two alternatives to FMS that I am aware of
Red5 (
http://osflash.org/red5)
Wowza Media Server (
http://www.wowzamedia.com)
Both are java servers, and AFAIK neitherhas support for
server side actionscript (you'd need to code in Java or one of the
other supported scripting languages). Red5 is open source, Wowza is
about half the price of FMS (the last time I checked).

Beginners guide to integrating Flash Media Server 2?

I'm a newbit to Flasha dn flash media server and need some
help with integrating the two products. We've just purchased Flash
Media Server 2 to stream user created videos to a website. Idealy
we would like to use the FlvPlayBack component placed on the stage
to display the FLV file from the media server, but cannont get the
component to access the FLV file.
Media Server Configuration:
On the Media Server we created an application (testapp) with
an default instance (_definst_). The directory path for the
Appliation looks like this W:\MediaApps\testapp\streams\_definst_\
The name of the server is MediaServer
The application and instance are appearing in the Media
Server Admin manager.
I've placed an FLV file (Movie.flv) In the _devinst_
directory.
Flash FLA file
Placed FLVPlayback component on the stage
Set contentpath= rtmp:\\MediaServer\testapp\_definst_\Movie
Set islive=true
When I test publish the file, the video does not display?
Does anyone have any guidance on what I need to do? There
seems to be a lack of documentation on integrating the media
server. I looked a sample app called "SimplePB" that works, but
does not use the FLVPlayback component.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
John Wallwork

John,
For an FLV to stream from FMS, it must be placed in the
streams/_definst_ directory...
applications/myApplication/streams/_definst_/myFlv.flv
Then you would type in the rtmp connection information in the
contentPath of the FLVPlayback component like this
rtmp://myRTMPConnectionInfo/myApplication/myFlv
without the flv extension.
The documentation comes from the FMS components when you
install them.
Here it is...
To set up your FCS for streaming FLV files:
Create a folder in your FCS application folder, and give it a
name such as my_application.
Copy the main.asc file into the my_application folder.
Create a folder named streams in the my_application folder.
Create a folder named _definst_ inside the streams folder.
Place your FLV files in the _definst_ folder.
To access your FLV files on the Flash Communication Server,
use a URL such as rtmp://my_servername/my_application/stream.flv.
For more information on administering the Flash Communication
Server, including how to set up a live stream, see the FCS
documentation at
www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashcom/. When playing
a live stream with FCS, you need to set the FLVPlayback property
isLive to true. For more information, see FLVPlayback.isLive.

Flash Media Server Update Process

Hi all,
I currently have Flash Media Server 3.5.0 installed and it has been running since 2009. It has been running for so long without issues I kind of forgot about it. Now i see there is an update to 3.5.7. I downloaded it but when I ran the installer it warned me that all my configuration settings may be lost. I tried to find some info on the best procedures to follow to perform the update but was unable to find much. I really do not want to lose my settings. I looked in the FMS admin console but i did not see any option to backup the current settings.
What is the best way to proceed with this update without losing your settings or negatively impacting the media server?

Like Graeme Bull said in another related post : "You can keep up on that on the product manager's blog though http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/"

Audio not streaming correctly from Flash Media Server

Our company has a Flex application (3.0.2) that is having a problem with audio dropping out in Windows 7. The problem appears worse with a wireless connection, but it can’t be consistently reproduced there, either. The only thing known for sure is that the problem has not been seen on any other version of Windows.
The application thinks the audio is playing, because it is calling the appropriate event listeners triggered when the audio completes and when any audio cue points are hit. The majority of our audio is streaming via Flash Media Server (3,0,2,201), but the problem was also seen using embedded sound effects. In one instance, several clicks of a button triggered an error saying the sound effect could not be loaded, and then about a minute later, all the sound effects played at once and the user could then continue with the application.
The problem has been repeated in IE 8, Firefox 3 and Chrome.

Thanks for your details. But i need more info.
Server:
FMS      3.0.2 ?
FMS installed in which platform Linux/windows? more details about it.
Client:
IE          7
Flash Player version     ?
WIndows 7
Wireless connection - Was the client placed in poor bandwidth.
Can you get the NetStream status info when u play the audio file.? We can check for the rebuffering happening at the client side.
Can you run your audio file through flvCheck Tool to check if the media file is in good form. It is available at "\$Root|Flash Media Server\tools\flvcheck.exe"
Now our intention should be to check the same media file with simpler application (since your production app is complicated) to ensure that the media streaming over 'client to server' is working fine.

A User Count in a Flash Media Server Application

hello guys, first of all, sorry for my english...
i am making a flash media server application and i want users to see that how many users are currently connected to this application...
i have searched on google for 2 days and i couldnt find a good tutorial for AS3.
i have looked at fmsguru and some other tutorial websites but those wasn't enough for me to succes...
what i am trying to make is; a text area or dynamic text (i dont know which is most suitable for this purpose) which shows the numbers of connected user and i want it change immediately when a user connects or disconnects...
i know there is an array as "application.clients" and i know i should use "application.clients.length" in "main.asc" file to find the number of connected users BUT i can't get this number to the text area or dynamic text in my "swf file".
PLEASE help me by explaining a simple application which uses a "main.asc" file, an "action script" file and a "swf" file. and how to get the number of "application.clients.length", how to send (or call or get) it to the "action script" file, how to show this number in a text field or dynamic text...
i will be very appreciated if someone explain in AS3 and make me success...
thanks for reading...

well here you don't even need the button just tell your textfield to update everytime the server calls after a connection or disconnection. Do you know how to write actionscript at all? Because you would be well advised not to attempt media server stuff unless you know how to do the basics. Maybe you could start out with some client only applications.
import mx.controls.TextArea;
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class SimpleChat_call extends MovieClip {
private var myTextArea:TextArea;
private var myButton:Button;
private var _nc:NetConnection;
private var _chatSO:SharedObject;
private function onLoad() {
myButton.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, onUserCount));
public function connect( rtmpString:String) {
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.owner = this;
_nc.onStatus = function ( info ) {
if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
trace("connected successfully");
this.owner.connectSO( this );
_nc.receiveUsercount = function (count) {
var myTextArea = this.owner.myTextArea;
myTextArea.text = count;
_nc.connect(rtmpString);
private function connectSO( nc ) {
_chatSO.connect( nc );
you didn't even try what i suggested did you because it would have worked without changing the client

Flash Media Server and Red 5 server

Hi Folks...
This may sound a little off topic, but please bear with me. I would like to know if it is possible to run Action Script
Communication Files(.asc) on an red 5 server, just like how a .asc
file runs in the Flash Media Server. Hope someone can advise. Thanks.

I dont think Red5 supports .asc file, it uses server-side javaScript however. You may like to check this page - http://red5.org/ticket/204

Hi,
Are you trying to make an air app or a web application (flash) for streaming? You may want to check out the osmf framework to help you write a player for mobile platform. Check out http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/ for more info on how you can write streaming video players using this framework. There are some good tutorials there and also you may post on the forum to get your specific queries solved.
Thanks,

Encoding to H.264 FLV: Flash Media Server Streaming

Hi all,
I've been hoping to find the magic Compressor settings which would allow me to compress a stream-able FLV on our Flash Media Server.
I realize I can use the default QuickTime Export component to create an FLV, however this does not support distributive rendering/job segmenting. Currently I'm trying the 'QuickTime Movie' file format (last on the format list) without any luck.
As QuickTime can produce a streamable FLV with the export component I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to manually configure Conpressor to do the same: Has anyone worked this out?
Thanks for any assistance
- Billy

Related to my post above is it be possible to access and use the TrueMotion VP6 (Perian) format settings in Compressor? This format is also accessible through the QuickTime Export component option, and doing so would would both make the flash streams more compatible (w/ old players) and allow job segmenting.
Thanks again for any thoughts ...
- Billy

Questions before I buy Flash Media Server 2

Hi! I'm considering buying Macromedia Flash Media Server 2.
This software would be a large investment for me, so I'd really
appreciate any answers or advice that anyone could provide. I just
have a couple questions:
1) Can FMS2 be installed on the same server that runs my Web
sites? I have a Linux server that runs a few sites, and it would be
ideal to run this software and the sites on the same server. I'm
also wondering what port it would run on? I've used RealNetworks'
Helix Server, which requires you to run it on a separate server
because of port issues. I want to use Flash instead.
2) Does this software also come with a Flash video player
that would work with my sites? I want to be able to stream .flv
videos from my Web sites and have a Flash player launch whenever a
user selects one of my videos (kind of like how RealPlayer launches
when you click a RM file). This way, the player wouldn't always be
embedded in the page. Is that possible? I'm worried about the
player failing to launch, or people needing to download a special
player to view my videos.
Thanks very much!

1) Yes you can run it on the same box as your web server. You
can specify any port you wish for FMS to listen on (default is
1935)
2) I'm not quite sure I understand. In order to view your
videos a client will have to have a flash browser plugin installed
- which should not be a problem as flash browser penetration is
somewhere in the high 90th percentile (if Adobe is to believed). In
addition, your flash application will need to make a connection to
FMS before it can stream videos, so its not quite as simple as
clicking on a .flv link. Your flash app will have to be embedded in
a page (think youtube - although youtube does not use FMS).
If you're not sure if FMS is right for you (and you sound
like you're not sure), why don't you download the Developer edition
and test it out? Its free and has all the features of the "full"
version, but only gives you a license for 10 users.
