Adobe Media Server 5 Needed Version Check

Hi,
I have a digital asset management system with a transcoding application. I will use a streaming server. I will have 10 users in the system and some long duration videos(320X240 resolution; 1-3 hours recordings). Sometimes a couple of users will stream the same video.
I would like to use Media Server Starter version but some elements in the spec list makes me to hesitate. As I am not familiar with streaming technology, I searched for them on the web but still I am undecided. Here are the limited features I wonder about,
HTTP streaming for Adobe Flash® Player compatible and Apple iOS devices 10 minutes;
IP multicast 10 minutes;
Multicast fusion for Flash Player compatible devices 10 minutes;
Application-level multicast 10 minutes;
NEW Protected HTTP Dynamic Streaming for Flash Player compatible devices 10 minutes;
Due to my needs, are these limitations important for me? If so, how are the needs affected?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Mel.

1) Are you planning to stream to iOS (iPads/iPhones) devices? If yes this will make HTTP streaming your must have requirement
2) Are you planning to protect your content?
Multicast does not seem relevant in your case as your user load is too less.

What version of Adobe Media Server would fit our needs?

Hello. We are considering doing HTTP video streaming on our intranet. We have approximately 500 employees and would want to be able to stream approximately 10 - 50 one-way connections at one time. What version of Adobe Media Server would you recommend to support this?
After reading more about streaming, we would probably want to support the progressive download method.

But it can't create PDF files...

Do I really need Adobe Media Server?

I am planning to set up a server on the Internet, with media files of different types. I just started investigating all the Media Servers out there. Much to my surprise (!!), I discovered that:
- Using Firefox, MP3 files are played directly by some built-in player
- Using MS Internet Explorer, MP3 files are played directly by MS Windows Media Player
Similarly for MP4 files.
http://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/MaddowOReilly.mp3
http://patriot.net/~ramon/jfk/MaddowOReilly.mp4
IOW:I do not necessarily need any special software at the server side. This is as easy as serving some HTML files!
That (those 2 file types) should cover a wide percentage of my needs. My problem remains some huge WAV files which are going to be used for Voice Identification, Sound Analysis, etc. (Audition stuff) and *must* be of the highest quality possible.
Which begs the question:
In what environment do I need some sort of Media Server?
TIA

Hi Ramon
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Adobe Media Server is a Video streaming server and the need would arise in the following scenarios:
++ You would like to stream (broadcast, multicast or live unicast) to a client machine on the same or different subnet.
++ You would like to host all your sample VOD's on the server for the clients to access them.
Please find the following link in reference to "Adobe Media Server Family":
Media server for streaming video | Adobe Media Server family
Playing video and the MP4 files on Firefox, Internet is on the client's end, but, the same files if are to be hosted at a common location (root) for all different clients to access them, its then a Media Server comes into picture.

Adobe Media Server Starter limits? disk quota exceeded

hi, I'm confused...
I'm running an Elemental encoder, publishing to
rtmp://10.151.170.22/livepkgr/livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record
(i've tried with and without the 'record' bit - I actually don't want/need to record).
AMS is on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit, AMS was installed from AdobeMediaServer_5_LS1_win64 with no serial number.
If i delete the stream files and 'reload this application', then the stream runs for a period, actually until it has ~120mbytes in the streams folder.
( << 10 minutes).
Then the livepkgr stops with logs of:

The documentation seems to indicate that Starter edition should be unlimited in time of streaming, just limited by number of cllients, as long as you are not protecting the streams, then limited to 30 minutes.
I have checked quoteas in Windows and they are disabled.
Can someone confirm that I should, in starter, be able to continually stream 24/7, and if so give some hint as to what I may have to change to do this?
At the end of the day, all i need to do here is simulate a customer environment for integration effort in players....
Simon

Hi Simon
The HTTP (HDS and HLS) streaming and recording limit in Adobe Media Server 5 Starter is 10 min. You'll need to buy a serial key if you want to record/stream for longer. Also there are no limit on number of clients for HTTP.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Adobe media server 5.0

Hi,
Where i can check adobe media server 5.0 trial configurations.
It is giving very poor quiality in live streaming at my local pc. Need to check if it is configuration problem..
Thanks

It's probably less to do with GPU. While the video size is fairly small you're actually asking for 60fps video. You're giving 1 second 2000kbit and want it compressed down to 60 quality (fair to poor, more importantly, expensive to compress). Compressing 60 frames that fast stresses your camera.
For each frame you're giving the video 33kb to display. Setting quality and bandwidth higher (say double that) for 60FPS might be necessary to reduce the systems need to compress.
Honestly I think you should simply reduce your framerate to something a bit more standard at the same other settings, such as 30fps or 24fps. But it depends on what the videos purpose is.
Lastly while FMS trial works fine on my Win7 install I'm pretty over-jacked on hardware. I also have cameras that internally encode themselves offloading that chore from the CPU. I can stream up to 1280x720 @ 60FPS but I need to crank up the bandwidth to about 12000 and keep quality above 70 or even I start seeing some serious bog, and my usage is ~1%. This just means my camera is innundated. I change it to 30fps/5000kbit 1280x720 70Q, it's smooth as glass.

Test my new Adobe Media Server

You need to have a hds player to be able to play the stream. You cna use default strobe media player that comes with Adobe standard installation.

Pusblish Abode Connect meeting records (.flv) over Adobe Media Server - What is the easiest way?

Hi,
my name is Robin Schröder. I am a member of the univertity “Hochschule Hamm Lippstadt” from Germany.
We r using the adobe connect already. We wanna create offline videos of meeting records and publish them over adobe media server. The offline videos are in the .flv format.
Do I have to convert the .flv into mp4 (h264 & AAC) before streamable with hds and hls?
I read about f4fpackager that this program can convert .flv into .f4m – but it failed with error 999….. I checked the .flv file with flvcheck before: success!
The sample Video worked fine.
So my question:
We wanna publish all .flv recordings over the Adobe Media Server (VODs). What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Convert .flv in a streaming format (mp4?) - HOW?
Create multi-bitrate versions from the video - HOW?
Create f4m file for adaptive bitrate streaming - manually?
Publish hds & hls URL in the html site (decryption for url possible?)How can I realize a iPad/iPod/iPhone switch in the html Code for HLS/HDS switch?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm receiving the information that "No backups available.", but if i log in my icloud I find the backup.

Adobe Media Server 5 With Kevin Towes | Project Primetime | Adobe TV

Join Kevin Towes for a quick update on the latest version of Adobe Media Server.
http://adobe.ly/Nii55w

I am producing web-tv/broadcasting live/live streaming. Still I want to have the full HD quality and adobe seems to offer that. What do i get if I purchase the Adobe Media Server 5 (the latest version of media server from adobe according to the info i have got).
I have innstalled adobe flaSH MEDIA LIVE ENCODER 3.2 but I need a server to be able to stream to my website then Adobe Media Server 5 (HTTP live streaming server for multiple devices) will be the best choice i expect but i can use others servers too together with the adobe flaSH MEDIA LIVE ENCODER 3.2, right? Tell me in a clear and simple, correct way how I can do this but answer my questions first. Also tell me the price on the mentioned server (AMS 5) for one year. Is it any gigabyte limit on the AMS 5 and if yes whats the limit? Best regards Johnsen, Norway, North west europe

Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.

Please help me with Vhost configuration for Adobe Media Server running under linux.
I was running a media sharing website for which I wanted to use Adobe Media Server.
To use, AMS, I disabled the already installed Apache server and installed AMS along with the built in Apache server. I could successfully install AMS and could login to AMS Admin Console through my IP number.
My existing website, www.mydomain.com is having its contents located at:
/home/mydomain/public_html
(Directory created under the old version of Apache not bundled with AMS)
Users will be uploading their videos, which will get transcoded and will be delivered to the website visitors in the existing scenario.
To use this website with AMS, this is what I did:
I created a folder for my domain, www.mydomain.com as below
/opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
Copied Application.xml and Vhost.xml from /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/ and pasted them in /opt/adobe/ams/conf/_defaultRoot_/www.mydomain.com
In the Application.xml file there are 2 entries:
<Alias name="mydomain.com"></Alias>
<AppsDir>${/home/mydomain/public_html}</AppsDir>
Please help me with further steps to be completed:
Do I need to create a separate VirtualHost entry in the Apache installed with AMS?
If yes, can I specify already existing document root for my website (/home/mydomain/public_html) or do I need to create a separate folder under webroot/Apache ?
If yes to point 2 above, then do I need to copy all the existing contents from /home/mydomain/public_html to the newly created folder ?
I hope, I can serve all my static contents like html pages and php and media like video/audio. In that case do I need create alias to my Media/Alias folder or AMS will automatically start streaming when a video/audio is requested ?
What other steps do i need to complete?
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

How do I Host my Adobe Media server Online to friends and family?

I got hamachi for now but when i get on laptop it connects to the site but said it cant connect to the Network to watch videos i added.
When i installed the media server it did ask which ip to bind to and i chose hamachi as i want to test befor i put online but even when i did that i can only run my content on host pc and not client pc.   How do i change that and right now i am not able to portforward, Are there any work arounds for that?
I dont get the instructions for the Documentation for setting ip's and access,   Can anyone help me?
Almost forgot,   I am running Adobe Media server 5 but believe it is the Extended version, dont remember. Not sure if there are any differances between the two.

Your only option is to install the version they provide thru the link I provided. My only thought is to see if a search of the forums using the search option and the search terms "CS2 disk 2" yields any useful information... what I found might prove helpful. If not, try the search yourself for more possibilities. It appears you need to get all of the files into the same folder before installing. Here is a link to the discussion I found....
Re: What is the work around for the error of the downloaded CS2 installer CD 2 disk prompt?

I can't seem to find any books to purchase on Adobe Media Server 5 or even tutorials.

I can't seem to find any books to purchase on Adobe Media Server 5 or even tutorials, is there a reason for this? Is AMS gone by the wayside?

I can't find my photos that I've just downloaded.
Look in Last Import
I can't find my photo information (i.e. shutter speed, aperture, etc).
Click on the circled "i" in edit mode
There is no histogram. I can only find about 3 sliders to adjust color, tint, etc.
In edit mode click on "adjust" then "add" and check the options you want to see
The crop function is difficult to use.
Ok - that is a personal opinion - I like it better
I cannot geotag my photos any longer.
That is correct - hopefully it will be added with an update - for now you have to do it prior to Import - HoudahGeo hopes to be able to do it directly to the Photos library later also and is a good solution for Geotagging
Right now, I feel like I'm being forced to use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to get the tools I need to edit my photos.
Forced? Someone is there with a gun? You are not being Forced to do anything - you can do what ever you want including continue to use iPhoto - or even post invalid winning complains instead of acting to resolve your concerns - your choice - do what you want

Questions on the capabilities of the Adobe media server and system requirements

Hello
We need to send multiple video streams on different computers and screens in our organization. To do this, we need a dedicated server with the following functionality:
- transmit up to ten (or even more) HD and FullHD streams simultaneously
- manage playlists in real time without relaunching stream every time after adding items to the playlist
- imposing of any text and video effects
- use a variety of sources: a folder with pictures for the slideshow, video and audio files, video capture devices, video streaming from other resources
Is Adobe media server suitable for our tasks?
What are the system requirements (I do not mean minimum requierements)?
If we buy adobe media server, will it be enough? Or we will have to buy additional software products to provide all the necessary functionality?
Thank you.

1 and 2 is possible
3 is not
4 AMS is not an encoder and does not encode or create streams.You have to use other software for that.Adobe FMLE is for live streaming...Use third part software like manycam(a virtual webcam on your machine) to generate video sources out of slide shows.

How to pass an image from the mobile application to the Adobe Media Server?

The image is taken as photo from the CameraUI in the Client Side(AIR Mobile Application) and saved as a .jpg file in the mobile. I passed the image byte array values from the client to the server. How to convert that byte array to a file in the Adobe Media server?

This is very similar to the problem here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/655314
processByteArray = function(byteArrayAsPlainObject){
     // byteArrayAsPlainObject is an object serialized from a ByteArray but without functions
     // we need to get a ByteArray that we can call functions on
     var usableByteArray = new ByteArray();
     byteArrayAsPlainObject.position = 0; // make sure we start from the beginning
     ByteArray.prototype.readBytes.call(byteArrayAsPlainObject, usableByteArray);
     // now usableByteArray contains what was in the original argument, but we can actually use it on the server side

You use Apache config files for the same...namely httpd.conf.
