Advice on Hardware Encoders for Adobe Media Server

With a recently acquired AMS 5 Professional we have had good results encoding video to it using a Teradek Vidiu hardware box.
The only limitation encountered with this Vidiu device is that it does not provide multiple bit rates out of it. As a result we need to select the lowest common denominator that we are confident our viewers will be able to consume.
Is anyone using a similar form factor product for encoding that provides for multiple bit rates? I'm hoping to stay within $2000 to $3000 price range.
For portability reasons not interested in the Flash Media Encoder right now.
Thanks.

Are you streaming from your own PC?!
For local tests, you can get your ip address by opening a command line and running ipconfig.
Assuming that your PC's firewall doesn't block the relevant ports, then others on your network could see it by replacing "localhost" with that ip.
For release... you may want to move your server.

  • 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

  • Buffer for Adobe Media Server?

    Hi
    I am want to stream via a 4G USB modem. The internet connection has an upload from 1 to 5 Mbit, normally around 2-3. The Flash Media Live Encoder is streaming at 1.5 Mbit.
    Is it possible to add some buffer so when the intenret connection goes under 1.5 Mbit in it's upload it will not have an impact for the WebTV viewers because of a large buffer?
    Where to I add this buffer?
    The Adobe Encoder does not seems to have a buffer - correct? (If not where do I control this?)
    The Adobe Streaming Server version 3.5 (not the Interactive one) has a buffer which I can control in a config file - but which parameter do I change and to what value do I change it to?
    My flash web player (JW Player) certainly also has a buffer which I control very well already.
    Which buffer is best in this case? Or is it a combination of the different buffers?
    Thank you very much :-)

  • How can I view the IP or DNS address for Adobe Media Server

    Hello, I am trying to use AMS to conduct a live school news broadcast. Currently I can view the stream using `localhost,` but how can I figure out what IP or DNS address to use to make the stream public. While I can stream on the same network the viewers are on, I'd like to make it visible to anyone.

    Are you streaming from your own PC?!
    For local tests, you can get your ip address by opening a command line and running ipconfig.

    What is the user id used for login ? Looks like it is neither ec2-user nor root in this case.
    Anybody helping, I would deeply appreciate. It is ridiculous to get billed when not able to use the software - not even able to login.

    Use “amsadmin” user to login to AMS EC2 instance as root user has been disabled.
    If you are logging in for the first time using SSH, use Putty to set the password for the amsadmin user as you will not be able to login using WinSCP.
    Launch Putty to log into the instance.
    In the Host Name (or IP address) box, enter the Public DNS of the instance you launched.
    In the Category pane on the left, choose Connection>SSH>Auth.
    Browse to locate the private key for authentication and click Open. See Using key pairs to connect to an instance securely, to understand how to use PuTTYgen application to convert the .pem file to a .ppk file.
    Log in as amsadmin user.
    Enter a valid password and confirm the new password.
    Note: For subsequent logins, you can either use Putty or WinSCP

  • Some Adobe Media Server questions

    Hello,
    I need to setup Adobe Media server for my production environment and I have some questions.I need to have online media library (video on demand) available for end users as clips embedded in my site. My questions are:
    - What kind of source files are supported (source format, video/audio codec etc).
    - I also need dynamic video quality (user internet connection quality sholud be detected and video quality adjusted automatically). In addition, video should be transcoded and user should be able to choose video quality (and resolution) by hand. FlowPlayer is preffered player to be embedded to my site and it should be set up as client for adobe media server. What is the best way to implement this scenario? I can't find any step by step guide how to setup this (including dynamic quality adjustment). Any help
    - Live streams. The same as vod. I assume I will need Flash Media Encoder to encode stream from input source, so client will need to setup bitrate and other parameters? How to setup dynamic quality for clients - will server transcode stream again? How to setup this? I can't find any guide step by step, can you help me?
    - Video chat. How can I setup this using Adobe Media Server? Is this possible to make video chat via Adobe Media Server using flash applications like FSChat?

  • QTSS/Adobe Media Server and Hardware Optimization

    HI all,
    I am trying to make an informed choice between deploying either QTSS (free and on Mac) or Adobe Media Server (about $20,000 and on Linux). In our application we will have about 700 simultaneous connections to our service. About 400 of these users will be viewing one of four live video feeds (from presenters at an expo). The remaining users will hold one-to one video chats through our site. We have direct fiber bandwidth of 100megs and our video streams are held to 320x240 at 15fps. I have extensive Mac experience and currently use XServe for our other web service. I have three main questions.
    1) Does anyone have suggestions/experience on the use of QTSS instead of Adobe Media Server in this size application?
    2) If QTSS is used, how many servers and what configurations would you recommend for balancing this size workload?
    3) What load balancing hardware would be appropriate for this project if multiple servers are needed?
    I really appreciate any help that might be offered. Thanks
    X-Serve (Intel 2.66Ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The new auth plugin still doesn't work against Wirecast/FM 1.0 agents. The only way I was able to block these agents was through the main.asc file you put in your application. On the function application.onConnect insert this
    if( (p_client.agent.search("Wirecast")!=-1) || (p_client.agent.search("FM 1")!=-1) )
            trace (p_client.agent + " FM 1.0/Wirecast agent detected ...rejecting connection from "+p_client.ip);
            return false;
    How do you require WireCast agents to be forced to enter a password?
    Where/how do you put this action script, does anyone have any examples?

  • How to connect to Akamai using RTMP SDK (Adobe Media Server Connector for C++)?

    We need to stream live video to Akamai using RTMP. But, we are trying to connect using ADOBE RTMP SDK (Adobe Media Server Connector for C++ 2.0.1), but have no idea regarding how to connect to Akamai using the SDK. How to make the SDK respond to the server challenges for password etc. If this can't be done using the RTMP SDK, we can use plain C++ for the purpose. But for that too, we don't have any idea regarding the steps involved to make it work. If anyone has any idea on how to connect to Akamai using the RTMP SDK or using plain C++ (a sample code will be very helpful), please help us out. If you can suggest any C/C++/.NET library too which will help us achieve it, we are ready to do so. Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    I am sorry I can not help you.  Could you do me a favor? I know you are using Adobe RTMP SDK.I want to know how to get it.
    I tried to contact adobe at [email protected] but it seems to be an invalid email address.if you know efficient way,
    please tell me.Thank you very much.
