Flash media Encoding Server

I heard that Adobe has launched a new server reffered to as Flash media Encoding Server. In their website they do have explained a lot about it. But they have not mentioned whether it can be used for Live Streaming or not. Does any one know whether it can be used for Live Encoding .. anyone?? How is this server different from Flash Media Server??

Jay is correct - Flash Media Encoding Server is a companion product to Flash Media Server that will encode/transcode files to Flash friendly formats for delivery via Flash Media Server or other forms of delivery. It is not meant for live capture and encode - simply for preparing VOD files for delivery. For more about encoding for Flash and the various Adobe and products in this space for both Live and VOD - you may want to read an article I wrote on our developer center.

Flash Media Encoder - server problem

Hi guys,
I tried to use FMS and FME to broadcast my webcam video, but
I got the error message:
Server Problem
Failure to connect to primary server. Please verify that your
Server URL is vaild and your internet connection is working and
retry.
I already done these steps:
1. install FMS and change the path to
<AppDir>C:\apps</AppDir>
2. install FME and set the FMS URL to rtmp://localhost/apps,
Stream: stream
But while I click Connect button, it took almost 5 mins and
then showed up the message above.
Did I missed something?
Could anyone help me out? thanks!!!!

You got your FMS application folders mixed up. You haven't
created a FMS "application", you've only told FMS to look in
C:\apps for a folder called apps.
Try to create a subfolder under C:\apps called "apps". I.e.,
create this: c:\apps\apps and then your rtmp string should
work.

Adobe flash media encoder compatibility with the lion mac mini server

Can anyone tell me if the adobe flash media encoder is compatible with the lion mac mini server?

I am running adobe live flash encoder on a new mac-mini server with Lion and am able to stream video just fine - however I get a hum in the audio. I am not sure whether the hum is caused by the audio input, the camcorder, the adobe encoder, or the combination, but it seems to be the camcorder's fault.
There is a manual about migrating or upgrading to lion server, but none about instituting a new capability from scratch

Streaming Live Video using Flash Media Encoder/Flash Media Streaming Server

We currently get a video feed from local cable channel that gets streamed live to our internet website. It gets encoded first on our Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Encoder and then gets published on another Windows 2003 server running Windows Media Services. We are trying to replace these two servers with another solution and the two things driving this project are:
1. These two servers are coming to an end of life cycle so we need to replace the hardware and upgrade the OS.
2. They currently only support Windows compatible file formats. Just like other organizations out there, iPAD users are popping up and they want to view these video streaming from their iPAD.
That's why we are looking at Adobe Flash Media Encoder3 and Flash Media Streaming Server 4.5. My questions for the experts out there are:
1. Can Adobe Flash Media Encoder and Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server can replace our current solution?
2. Do we need both Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server or can Flash Media Streaming Server also can encode video feed?
3. Can Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Streaming Server can run on the same server?
4. Our Windows Media Services server also has few on-demand publishing points along with a live video streaming. Can above mentioned Adobe products support having live streaming publishing point along with on-demand video publishing points?
5. Does Adobe Flash Media Encoder only support Flash and Quicktime or does it also support .wmv?
I called the sales to find the answers to these questions but he basically read the features listed on the Adobe product website and couldn't really answer these questions.
Any help in find the answers to these questions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks you.

FYI - I was able to do it by using the "onFI" handler of the embedded NetStream object.
myVideo.addEventListener(fl.video.VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onVideoStateChange);
function onVideoStateChange(evt:fl.video.VideoEvent)
// trace("State = " + evt.state);
if ( evt.state == "playing" )
if (!ns)
ns = myVideo.getVideoPlayer(evt.vp).netStream;
ns.client.onFI = onFIHandler;
function onFIHandler(infoObj:Object):void
var ts:String = infoObj.st;
trace("system time: " + ts);
ExternalInterface.call("updateTimeStamp", ts);

Flash Media Encoder 2.5

Hi--
I'm using Adobe Flash media Encoder 2.5 to stream Video & Audio to a web-site. For the past few days I've been unable to access my Channel on that web-'s Player or ANY other channels on the web-site-- after eliminating the browsers (as all 3 experience the same issue of non-accessibility to the web-site Player),and the fact that all 3 browsers PLAY OTHER Flash-encoded content, I have deduced the problem is with Flash Media Encoder as it keeps re-setting every 20 seconds or so indicating "Encoding & streaming to server is stopped due to aproblem in capturing Audio/Video"--however the settings are the same as when there was no problem. Anyone familiar with Flash Media Encoder 2.5 and any problems it may be experiencing? This has been ongoing for 4 days now

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

New Flash Media Encoder

So, I've been playing with the new Flash Media Encoder here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/fme/
It was a really simple download and works seamlessly with
Flash Media Sever. I think you have to update FMS2 to the January
07 update to use it, though. Anyway, below are some options for
trying it out. Have fun :)
Per Chris H from adobe:
1. You don't need a main.asc file on your FMS app to publish
and broadcast live streams with FME.
2. You can get a live stream from FME to playback in the
normal FLVPlayback component that ships with Flash 8 Professional.
Just make sure you have the "isLive" parameter set to true and the
contentPath should be:
rtmp://server_name/app_name/inst_name/stream_name.
Option from FMS livedocs:
1 New Flash Document with two layers: actions and video
display.
2 Add this code from the FMS livedocs to the actions layer:
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://<YOUR RTMP ADDRESS>/streamtest");
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("stream");
3. Open Window > Library > Click little dropdown toggle
next to library title and select a new video display object and
specify actionscript control.
4. Drag Video Display out of the library and give it an
instance name of my_ns and publish it. I used a laptop for this
part so that I could stream to the file from my FMS server. I saved
the .swf as video_receiver.swf.
5 Stop Flash Media Server and create a folder called
streamtest in the FMS Apps folder, then start it again.
6. Fire up FMEncoder, specify the RTMP address you specified
in the Flash 8 AS code, and be sure that the stream is named,
"stream" (no quotes). Also, toggle off the save stream file, unless
you want to save the recording.
7. Click start on FME and open the video_receiver.swf and you
should see the stream playing.
Another idea:
Use the receiver from this tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/broadcast_receiver.html

We have our own FMS and I have just installed the FME on a
workstation. FME reads video perfect but when I try to connect to
the server it won't accept my username and password. Where do I set
this? I have installed the add-in for FMS and also upgraded to the
latest 2.0.7 release. I'm green to the Flash Media Services so this
may come as a dumb question. Please help!

Flash Media Encoder with multiple cameras?

Hi,
Is it possible to stream 2 or more cameras on one computer
with Flash Media Encoder, or are you restricted to one camera per
machine?
Cheers

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.

Problem when streaming with the CLI flash media encoder 2.5

I have a problem when streaming with Flash Media Encoder 2.5. When I run the GUI, everything works, but when I use the commandline with the same profile I have created using the GUI, it says it can't connect to the server.
I have to use this version of the encoder, because the other is not working with the server, and I have to create a program to remotely control the flash media encoder, so I have to use the CLI. What can i do to go over this problem?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thankyou.

First of all, thankyou.
There is no authentication needed. I can't use Flash Live Media Encoder 3 because it is not supported by the people which manages the server i have to connect to.
In fact, I don't know why they dont support it, but that is the way it is.
Through the GUI, i connect directly and without problems, without user/pass.
Thankyou again.

Adobe Flash Media Encoder (Free Version) Setup

I have Windows 7 64 bit. I used Windows Media Encoder and the pull method. I dedicated a port for the stream and knew how to advise people how to access the stream. I installed your Media Encoder, but I don't know how to make it a pull version. Where do I put the port that I have dedicated, and what is the way people can connect. I prefer having people connect through my computer instead of a server, since when servers get busy, they are slow. I did notice when the encoder installed and test it it works. I just need to find out how to stream as I stated above. I await your response....Steve

Update: The Flash Media Encoder forum will be moving to the
Flash
Support forums on Adobe.com this evening.

How to embed flash media encoder

I wanted to know if it is possible to embed the flash media encoder in a webpage to allow a user to encode a video input without having to download the software on their computer. I have seen several sites (Ustream, LiveStream) have this in place. I was wondering how this is done and if anyone has the code to accomplish this or if anyone knows where I can get the documentation.

You'll need to use a server side application, something like PHPMotion:
http://www.phpmotion.com/
but for any server side scripting like that, you'll most likely need a dedicated server... check with your web host.

Can't Activate Flash Media Encoder CS3

I just had a new hard drive installed on my Windows XP SP3, 4 GB RAM, 2 dual core Intel processors machine. I reinstalled Production Premium CS3. All of my Adobe applications activated except Flash Media Encoder CS3. When I enter my serial number, it says it is an incorrect number and places a big red X beside of the number. The number I entered is the number on the box.
I called Technical Support and held for them for over 1 1/2 hours but no one came on to answer my question. I entered the problem in the Support Portal but it has been over 24 hours and no one has contacted me. I like Adobe software but not their technical support.
Can anyone in the Forum help?
Thanks,
Linda

I've tried it (with cookies cleared) on three different browsers now and they all experience the same problem. I am on OS X but that should not affect my ability to connect to a particular server. Here, for example, is a non-functional download link I'm given: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashmediaserver/flashmedialiveencoder/installer/AdobeF MLE3.2.1_r.dmg

On flash media encoder for commercial use

Sorry for being noob,
is Flash Media Encoder free?
can i use it for commercial purpose (e.g. twitchtv partner, commercial ads, youtube ads)?
link to flash media encoder: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-encoder.html
thanks for the quick response.

It is free but for use with Adobe Media Server (previously Flash Media Server) only!
It is not allowed to be used with non Adobe media servers. Please check the EULA at http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/FlashMediaLiveEncoder_en_US_20101109_0850.pdf
