Flash Media Live Encoder and Wowza

Hi,
I’m having a hard time deciphering “Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2“ license.
Is it permissible to use a different server than “Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 4” - A.K.A Wowza - to stream the content produced by “Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2”?
Thank you
Alain

1. I've never seen an onPlayStatus call that has more than one argument. Is this a common case? Something Wowza-specific? A bug in the server script? There's no workaround at the framework level (short of changing the signature of NetStreamSwitchManager.onPlayStatus). If you think this is a common case with Wowza, can you file a bug here? https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM
2. MediaPlayer dispatches events for playStateChange and mediaPlayerStateChange. You could listen for the former to determine when it enters the playing state, or the latter to follow the general state transitions (which typically go uninitialized, loading, ready, buffering, playing).

Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder and static image or recorded video?

Is it possible to put a static image or a recorded video (instead of a live video feed) into Flash Media Live Encoder to air while broadcasting a live radio show online?

FMLE will work with all devices which have direct show based drivers and give data in raw format. Here is a list of devices which have been tested and certified with FMLE - http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.0.pdf

Proxy between Flash Media Live Encoder and Adobe Media Server

ciao,
I encode from a pc with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to a server with Adobe Media Server. And this configuration works well.
The actual configuration is:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer B
with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP/live and StreamName
test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) computer B (es: 210.22.11.134) with Adobe Media Server
But now I need to encode from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (computer A) to a pc (computer P) and then redirect the rtmp stream to the Adobe Media Server (computer B). Those 3 computers have different lan configurations. If I use rtmpsuck (http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) on computer P, can I use it like proxy to redirect the computer A rtmp flow to computer B?
I suppose:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer P with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_P_WAN_IP/live and StreamName test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) on computer P (es: 10.10.10.8 - gw 10.10.10.254) I install
rtmpsuck, I open port 1935 on his firewall and I configure iptables
like: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1935 -j DNAT
--to-destination COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP:1935
3) on computer B I do nothing.
Now I have 3 questions:
1- Can it works?
2- On computer P (the proxy) I must install rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv or I can install only rtmpsuck? I don't necessary need to record the stream
3- Is there another way to do this? Is there another software to redirect the stream?
Thankyou

Please update us when FMLE OSX is deployed. BTW, I get that the server market is dominated by LINUX/WINDOWS and this is a FMS add on. But, my shops creative workflow is Mac based for obvious reasons. Encoding is part of our editing workflow and thus needs to be mac based. Throw us a bone please.

Flash Media Live Encoder and Mac OS X

When will Flash Media Live Encoder be available on Mac OS X? It is ridiculous that it isn't yet.
Seriously though, who in the media industry is seriously working with Windows?
Is there a concrete statement on this from Adobe?
Thanks and regards,
B.

Flash Media Live Encoder and hard drive cameras

Does anyone have any idea how to get Flash Media Live Encoder to recognize a hard drive camera as a camera and not a hard drive????

I'm using an analog breakout box, that 'converts' the camera's Y/C signal and sends video instead of data thru the firewire. Then FMLE recognize the firewire input as a video source.

Flash Media Live Encoder and 5 webcams

Hi,
Quick question - I need to stream live video from 5 webcams
to the server. It's not a problem when I have just one, but don't
have a clue how to do it with 5 different ones? I need to record
flv at the same time as well.
Can I do it using one computer or would I need to have
different software ? I know there is a way to control streams using
command line - will that help?
What kind of machine I should get for that job? It would be
standard 320x240 stream, no sound.
Desperately waiting for quick reply.

Flash Media Live Encoder and AAC

This is sort of a follow up to my previous post, asking about streaming through FMS to Apple and Android.
Android and Blackberry devices require that the audio component of video streams be encoded using AAC. Right now I'm telling my customers to buy the MainConcept AAC plugin, or to buy VidBlaster or Wirecast. Can anyone from Adobe comment on when Adobe might release a version of FMLE that includes AAC?

I couldn't get that point earlier. Sorry for that.
FMLE uses the MainConcept stuff for AAC and H264 video. I am not sure of the full plans yet, but as of now we can say FMLE is not having (which you can imply as, not going to have) in buit encoders for AAC.

Flash Media Live Encoder Authentication Add-In not working

I have installed the Authentication Add-In on a FMS 3.5.5 Development version, running Windows 2008 Server. I can easily get to the users.exe command prompt and add users with no problem. BUT, when I open the Flash Media Live Encoder and go to enter a username/password when connecting to the server, I keep getting "User Not Found". I've went back several times using users.exe and tested for my user credentials and it always states that the user is there. Can some please tell me what I am doing wrong here?

So you have libconnect.dll placed in modules/access folder of your FMS?

Wowza with Flash Media Live Encoder

Video Quality Problem: Action Script netStream X Flash Media Encoder
Hi,
We're running Wowza to stream a live webcam from a Flex web application (using ActionScript 3 netStream method) for a 1 to 1 video chat.
We are able to stream it properly, but the quality does not look good at all (320 x 240, 300 Kbps, 15 fps).
We tried tweaking the paramenters (quality x bandwidth), but the quality is still surprisingly poor for a H.264 video.
Just out of curiosity, we decided to use Flash Media Encoder 3 to generate a live stream from the very same computer, with the very same webcam, at the very same video specs. The quality is much, much better than the one using the ActionScript 3 netstream approach. The difference is amazing!
So this leads us to believe that the problem is in the "encoder"; the Flash Media Encoder seems to be much for efficient in generating a high quality video stream, compared to ActionScript 3.
My question to you guys is: are we missing something? Are there any parameters on ActionScript 3 or even on Wowza that can increase the quality of video?
Installing Flash Media Encoder on each end user machine is impossible, so we really need this to work on the browser, via Action Script.
In other words: how can I make the quality of the video generated by ActionScript 3 be similar to the one we're able to achieve (remember: under the very same specs) on Flash Media Encoder?
Thanks in advance,
Julio Costa

Hi,
That may not be possible with Flash Media Live Encoder directly. But you can use softwares like WebCamMax on Windows and CamTwist on Mac to add video affects while broadcasting with Flash Media Live Encoder.

Presonus AudioBox 1818VSL and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder Compatibility

Good afternoon,
Working in a while with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder for audio and video streams but with an audio card M-AUDIO DELTA 1010 LT. The M-AUDIO plate is no longer manufactured and because of this I am looking for a Audio card that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder.
I did some research and found the external audio card Presonus Audiobox 1818 VSL, I wonder if that audio card is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2?

Compatibily problems between flash media live encoder 3 and fms version 2 ?

hello
i am trying to setup a stream for a live event we plan
for this we want to use our "flash media server v. 2.04" and
to encode the video the
"flash media live encoder 3"
but im really shocked about the poor quality - actually its
not working
the video is freezing for a while an then playing back very
fast and then freezing again
and the audio is stuttering
i tried propably all kinds of combinations of the settings
without any success
very often the encoding session is being stopped and started
again with the following
error message:
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:02:22 : Audio Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:02:22 : Video Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:09 : Unexpected error encountered in
encoding process.
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Audio Encoding Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Video Encoding Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Session Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Session Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Audio Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:11 : Video Encoding Started
and the media server says:
Sending error message: Method not found (FCUnpublish).
Sending error message: Method not found (releaseStream).
sometimes it restarts only the audio encoding
the machine for the streamingserver (windows version) is
realy strong an has a very fast
internet connection
the encoding machine is a 2.2ghz macbook pro with windows xp
and 6000 dsl connection
with the low bandwidth factory setting of the flash media
live encoder the cpu usage is
about 16%
for the videoinput i want use a canopus ADVC-110 firewire
capturedevice
but i also tried the apple isight usb 2.0 laptop-camera and a
logitech quickcam express
usb 1.0 webcam
all with negative results
two colleques encountered the same problems on their machines
but when i upstream the video with an standart flash client
the videostream runs stable
without any problems
so i guess the problem is the flash media live encoder
is there a compatibily problem between the server version and
the encoder version ?
thanks in advance for any hints

Hi,
FMS 2.04 version doesn't support H.264 and AAC/HEAAC. So, you
can only use Vp6, Mp3 and Nellymoser codecs in FMLE for streaming
to this server.
You are getting "Unexpected error" message within 50 sec of
your encoding session. This error occurs when either of the video
or audio device doesn't function properly. As you have mentioned
that various video devices gave negative results, try to use a
different audio device or uncheck the 'audio' device option and
encode only video.
Exactly what was the nature of the negative results for
different video devices? Was it the same "unexpected error"
problem? Please share the steps, device and encoder settings also.
When you observe video freezing and audio stuttering problem
while playback, reload the flash player and let me know if you
still see the same problem.

What's difference push stream with server script and push with flash media live encoder??

Hi
I'm multi point push streaming with adobe flash media server 4
Stream structure like this
Open Broadcaster Software (or Flash media live encoder) (RTMP) -> Home Flash media server with multi push script (main.asc)
-> Stream to 2 justintv channels + 1 dailymotion channel (1024x576 , 1750Kbps)
no problem at all when streaming to justintv
but some another stream services have speed problem
ustream can not push with this method
and dailymotion, vaughnlive push speed slow down than OBS or FMLE Direct stream
for example
when direct streaming with OBS or FMLE (Without home server) , no problem at all stream to dailymotion and vaughnlive
clearly no lag
but when push with server script, slow down push speed and unstable (it affect only for dailymotion and vaughnlive streams)
justintv upload speed same as OBS, FMLE's bitrate but dailymotion, vaughnlive bitrate always slower than justintv or OBS, FMLE
Like this - justintv , OBS, FMLE (1750Kbps~2000Kbps) but dailymotion, vaughnlive (1600Kbps~1800Kbps)
I don't understand why have push speed difference between server script push and OBS, FMLE push
Have any reason? and do not have solution???
(sorry for my bad english)

First of all let me clarify that we call multi point publish and it has been explained in detail here
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e -7ffbDev.html
When you do multi point publish(MPP) you publish from one server to another server, when you use FMLE you do a normal publish of stream(s) from a client/encoder(FMLE in this case) to the Adobe Media server.

AMAZON Cloudfront & Flash Media Live Encoder

http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2009/12/15/announcing-cloudfront-streaming/
I work for a small video company that seeks to expand into live video streaming. We already successfully use Amazon S3 and Cloudfront and have worked with Flash Media Live Encoder with other types of servers.
What kind of steps would it take to combine FMLE and Amazon Cloudfront to allow live feeds or successful streaming?
It seems like an exciting technology and even more exciting if they two can work together.
Thank you.
Shawn

Thanks for the pointers.
I'd already been using S3 and CloudFront as an FMS solution to serve up videos when I asked the question.
The FAQ refers to some clients using EC2 for Live Streaming.
As I peruse the EC2 area the only thing I see related to this is Wowza.
http://aws.amazon.com/customerapps/1220?_encoding=UTF8&jiveRedirect=1
I was hoping someone had found a simpler way ... and as I look at the netromedia enhanced offerings in the comments section of that page I'm seeing prices beyond my budget.
But looking at wowza's EC2 page: http://www.wowzamedia.com/ec2.html
the numbers look more pleasing ... I'll get in touch with them and find out the real deal.
Guess I'll have to familiarize myself with wowza if I want to make it happen for now.
Thanks again.
