Does Flash Media Server support MULTICAST?

I've been looking thru all the doc's but I can't seem to find
a single thing about whether Flash Media Server can actually
support multicast.

If by
multicast you mean each user can have an individual "stream"
that they can control independent of other users, then yes. HTH...

  • Does Flash Media Server work with Wirecast?

    Does Flash Media Server work with the encoding software, Wirecast?
    Do any of you have experience integrating the two? Good or bad ?
    I'm currently using Red5, which doesn't work with Wirecast, but I'd like to be able to use Wirecast.
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Best wishes.

    Thanks again for your help on this!
    I'm very new at this and don't really understand :
    if you've enabled SWF verification on the FMS side, and made an exception for the FMLe user-agent,
    I haven't done anything as far as setting other verifications, etc. This is just a default install of the FMS 3.5 Developers version.
    But I have tried all 3 user agents, still, none can connect. I still keep getting the "Can't publish stream... check credentials/tokens" error message 4020.
    Any other thoughts/ideas?
    Best wishes.

  • Does flash media server works with debian?

    Can somebody tell me if there is a version of Flash media
    server for Debian Linux?

    Yep, just take the redHat version and modify the installer
    script, use update-rc.d where redhat use chkconfig, that's it,
    worked fine for me except the server crash once in a while with no
    reason, no problems found in the log, still searching if it's my
    server hardware or a software (fms) problem... but I didn't run the
    adminserver and it's stable now...
    Good Luck

  • Flash Media Server OAI-PMH Metadata Harvesting?

    Does anyone know if the Flash Media Server supports OAI-PMH Metadata Harvesting? We are trying to automate metadata harvesting from the FMS to our online repository, so users will be able to search the repository for videos that reside on the FMS...
    Any support information would be very helpful.
    Thank you,

    FMS does not have in-built support for this protocol

  • RTMFP support in Flash Media Server 4

    I see that the new Flash Media Servers were released.  Looking over the information on the product pages, Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is the only available product that supports RTMFP connections?
    We currently have Flash Media Server 3.5 and our product utilizes RTMP connections, but I've been working with your Stratus Server and RTMFP and have found that the new protocol better fits our needs.  However, the price for Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is beyond our budget.  Is there any possibility that RTMFP support are/will be available in the lower levels of Flash Media Server?  If not, is there any idea on the time frame for the end of Stratus? 
    Thank you.

    No, unicast means the client can make an RTMFP connection to the server, and data can only be sent between client and server.  P2P functionality requires FMES.
    Forgive me as I'm still wrapping my head around FMS.
    So the RTMFP unicast with only 2 machines would basically be the same as RTMP connections to a server running a particular application?
    MachineA ----RTMFP--->FMIS==\
                                                    |<-> Application1
    MachineB-----RTMFP--->FMIS==/
    Doing it this way... the machines can still communicate with each other through the application they are connected to on FMIS?

  • 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 4.5 unable to start setup on OS X 10.7

    When I downloaded a developer edition from Flash Media Server page (11 Oct 2011). I tried to follow the setup instruction in readme.htm which comes in the zip of Linux version.
    I logged in to terminal as root user and call './installFMS' and then the terminal show me:
    ERROR: Your operating system is not supported by the
           Adobe Flash Media Server installer.
    Does it mean Flash Media Server Developer Edition cannot work on OS X Lion (10.7)?

    Hi,
    No, that platform is not supported, for any of the FMS versions.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your interest in FMS and Strobe Media Player. SMP is a out of box sample player that can play streams from FMS and no coding is required for its basic functionality.
    It can play RTMP and HTTP dynamic Streaming / HTTP progressive as well as multicast streams.
    Download the Strobe media playback from http://www.osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html , host it on a webserver and launch in a broswer.
    launch either strobemediaplayback.html or setup.html to setup your own player with different settings.
    Thank you !

  • 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 ...

  • 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).

  • Flash media server 4 enterprise load balancing

    G'day chaps, me and my mates have purchased a copy of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition for use on our web project.  Since we will be transmitting to large amounts of users through this exceptional piece of software, we will be needing to run more than one server at once.  Before going ahead and doing anything against the policies we have decided to post here on the support forums and inquire about being able to run multiple copies of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition with one Serial KEY ( 10 x GigE dedicated servers ).  If this is not possible, how can me and my chappies load balance all the traffic through one Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition.

    Hi there bluray,
    Congrats on your FMES purchase - we really hope FMS meets all your needs.  Although you'll not be permitted by your license to use it for more than one server installation you should be aware that FMS 4 has new scalability functionality that should enable you to scale beyond what you're currently expecting.  You may want to get immediately familiar with RTMFP and peer assisted networking.   FMS has the capability to serve as your personal introducer leveraging the power of peer to peer to scale more massively than a single installation is capable of.
    Here's a little snippet about it

  • OMA DRM and Flash Media Server

    Hi,
    I'm curious that if Flash Media Rights Management Server
    support OMA DRM and\or WMDRM. Does Flash Media Enconding Server
    also encrypts videos to support oma drm or wmdrm?
    Or by meaning DRM, Adobe means he has his own way to protect
    the content holder rights by using different protocols and other
    things and it does not secure the video file but it secure how the
    video file is transmitted and seen (by preventing video or audio
    being sniffed and/or ripped).
    thank you for your time

    But it would be so cool, if Flash Lite 2.0 could communicate
    with FMS. Just think about how many applications could be done with
    FMS...

  • JMF or flash media server? Why JMF

    Hi all,
    I was studing about jmf since 2 months in order to make a live video and audio broadcast. But recently I found out about flash media server.
    It seems that is verygood for those kind of web applications.
    I am so confused about which one I shoud use. I have no idea about FMS.
    There are some I want to learn.
    Whe we develop an JMF application how all clients of this web site use JMF? For developing purposes I setup JMF.
    Do all the clients have to install JMF in order to use my site or others which done using JMF?
    After all, probably everyone has a flash installed and no problem if a site developed by flash.
    Can you enlight me please?
    and I have no Idea about NAT, PROXY for developing RTP live video web application.

    ..Whe we develop an JMF application how all clients of this web site use JMF? .. The first thing you need to understand is that JMF is effectively an abandoned API. It works fine for some older formats of media, but does not support the later (more compressive) formats.
    I am guessing by 'in web site' you mean you want the media embedded in a web page (and by the way - yuck!). That means using applets.
    1) Embedded applets cannot use natives unless the end user has either
    a) Also installed JMF, which is usually impractical for the purposes of just 'showing some media in a web page', or
    b) The applet is using a plugin-2 JRE and hooks into the JNLP API to install the natives.
    2) If the cross-platform version of JMF is used, you just need to add the JMF Jars to the archive attribute of the applet element. The x-plat version of JMF supports (even) less formats than the one using natives, but at least it should also work on the Mac.
    ..For developing purposes I setup JMF.
    Do all the clients have to install JMF in order to use my site or others which done using JMF?Yes. In one form or another, as detailed above.
    After all, probably everyone has a flash installed and no problem if a site developed by flash.That is a rash assumption for either Flash or Java. I did not have Flash installed for a long time since I could not spare the bandwidth to be watching media in web pages. I only installed it recently when a friend convinced me to upload some of [my time-lapse animations|http://www.youtube.com/user/DrewTubeish] (3) to YouTube.
    There are other reasons people either do not have, cannot install, or refuse to install, either plug-in. The best you can do for them, is to give them accurate and easy to understand information on why the page failed. Both Flash and Java have ways to do that - usually with the help of JacvaScript.
    3) Shameless plug. ;)

  • Flash Media Server & 123FlashChat

    Hi All,
    I've setup a chat room using 123FlashChat with webcams
    enabled. Once in the chat room users can activate their webcams and
    everyone can see each other and I can see the connections in the
    Flash Media Server admin console. Any advice / assistance
    appreciated on the following:
    a) How do I record the sessions
    b) How do I lock sessions down so they are only one-to-one?
    Many thanks

    The thing about FMS is that it doesn't do anything on it's
    own. In order to get your application to record, it needs to be
    programmed to record (there is no "magic switch" anywhere that will
    start recording for you.)
    So, you'll need to either reprogram the 123FlashChat
    application to support recording, or build a new application that
    does what you need it to. Based on what you wrote above, my advice
    would be to build (or contract a programmer to build) an
    application that suits your specific needs.

  • Flash Media Server a solution for Interactive SWF on iOS?

    I've been searching for a solution for viewing interactive swf files built in indesign cs5 on iOS browsers like everyone else, is the flash media server a solution?  Is it cost prohibitive or affordable?  Does it support all the interactive features in interactive swf files?  Any feedback would be a pore Oates.

    Hi
    As I understand it, Flash Media Server is more for the deployment of video.
    Have you tried Wallaby to convert your files? You'll need to export for Flash Professional (from InDesign CS5 or greater) then use the Wallaby converter from there to get lovely HTML5 goodness.
    Wallaby is on Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
    It is an experimental technology, but surely worth a go?
