Flash Media Server Drops Users
Hello!
I m experience a strange situation.
Our servers are Intel i7 - 33 GB Ram and 10 Gb fiber connection.
Well, when a LIVE instance reach 2800 users, all of them are disconnected from the application.
Have you experienced similar situation before?
Is a tunning issue?
Note: Users connected to other instances / live are not affected. Only the users @ this instance with more than 2800 users.
We tryed with both versions 4.0 and 4.5
Linux Debian Squeeze 64 Bits
Regards,
Rafael
No suggestions? I m lost on this issue ...

Hi there,
I'm Very sorry for asking this. I guess it's a very basic problem, but I'm very new to Flash and Flash media Server and I need a very fast answer...
Currently I'm working on a Director project using a flash program which connects to Flash Media Server (I guess version 3, it's quite old). Unfortunately they forgot to make a flash method to send the actual userlist (or a notification when someone logged in or out) to Director. AND, unfortunately, they lost the source code of that flash programm, so I cannot look into it or alter it *sigh*.
Now I want to do a new flash programm which covers the old one, letting all known methods "pass trough" and building an additional method to gain the user list (or login/out notification).
How do I get the login information from Flash Media Server? (Would be good if you could provide an idea already for flash code... as I said I'm a tard at flash till now)
Thank you so much. And I hope you understand my situation asking here...
Janahparmar : yes, that's what I feared... I hoped it would be possible to tell the server from which application I do need the login information. What a mess.
Dimo Hristov: thanks for your offer! I already tried decompiling the flash program with the shareware version of Trillix Decompiler. It only decompiled the UI (in a terrible way) but no source code at all. It was the shareware version where I can decompile 2 or 3 programms to test the software. Are you sure the non-free version of Trilix Flash Decompiler will do..? -
A User Count in a Flash Media Server Application
hello guys, first of all, sorry for my english...
i am making a flash media server application and i want users to see that how many users are currently connected to this application...
i have searched on google for 2 days and i couldnt find a good tutorial for AS3.
i have looked at fmsguru and some other tutorial websites but those wasn't enough for me to succes...
what i am trying to make is; a text area or dynamic text (i dont know which is most suitable for this purpose) which shows the numbers of connected user and i want it change immediately when a user connects or disconnects...
i know there is an array as "application.clients" and i know i should use "application.clients.length" in "main.asc" file to find the number of connected users BUT i can't get this number to the text area or dynamic text in my "swf file".
PLEASE help me by explaining a simple application which uses a "main.asc" file, an "action script" file and a "swf" file. and how to get the number of "application.clients.length", how to send (or call or get) it to the "action script" file, how to show this number in a text field or dynamic text...
i will be very appreciated if someone explain in AS3 and make me success...
thanks for reading...well here you don't even need the button just tell your textfield to update everytime the server calls after a connection or disconnection. Do you know how to write actionscript at all? Because you would be well advised not to attempt media server stuff unless you know how to do the basics. Maybe you could start out with some client only applications.
import mx.controls.TextArea;
import mx.controls.Button;
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class SimpleChat_call extends MovieClip {
private var myTextArea:TextArea;
private var myButton:Button;
private var _nc:NetConnection;
private var _chatSO:SharedObject;
private function onLoad() {
myButton.addEventListener("click", Delegate.create(this, onUserCount));
public function connect( rtmpString:String) {
_nc = new NetConnection();
_nc.owner = this;
_nc.onStatus = function ( info ) {
if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
trace("connected successfully");
this.owner.connectSO( this );
_nc.receiveUsercount = function (count) {
var myTextArea = this.owner.myTextArea;
myTextArea.text = count;
_nc.connect(rtmpString);
private function connectSO( nc ) {
_chatSO.connect( nc );
you didn't even try what i suggested did you because it would have worked without changing the client -
User ID in Flash Media Server log files?
We may be using Flash Media Server in an intranet only scenario. All users will be watching the videos from Windows boxes. Our users who are creating the videos want to track usage by user ID. Does the server log the client's user ID? Is that what c-client-id is? If c-client-id is used to store Windows user name do I need to turn on AD/windows authentication to get that info? I see that IP address is stored, but it would be simpler if the user Id were in the log file.
Hi,
c-client-id field denotes the unique client-id assigned by FMS to a connecting client. This id is valid from the time "connect" event is received in the access.00.log to the time "disconnect" event is received. It is not the Windows user-id.
You would have to track the usage based on the c-ip field.
Thanks

Audio not streaming correctly from Flash Media Server
Our company has a Flex application (3.0.2) that is having a problem with audio dropping out in Windows 7. The problem appears worse with a wireless connection, but it can’t be consistently reproduced there, either. The only thing known for sure is that the problem has not been seen on any other version of Windows.
The application thinks the audio is playing, because it is calling the appropriate event listeners triggered when the audio completes and when any audio cue points are hit. The majority of our audio is streaming via Flash Media Server (3,0,2,201), but the problem was also seen using embedded sound effects. In one instance, several clicks of a button triggered an error saying the sound effect could not be loaded, and then about a minute later, all the sound effects played at once and the user could then continue with the application.
The problem has been repeated in IE 8, Firefox 3 and Chrome.Thanks for your details. But i need more info.
Server:
FMS 3.0.2 ?
FMS installed in which platform Linux/windows? more details about it.
Client:
IE 7
Flash Player version ?
WIndows 7
Wireless connection - Was the client placed in poor bandwidth.
Can you get the NetStream status info when u play the audio file.? We can check for the rebuffering happening at the client side.
Can you run your audio file through flvCheck Tool to check if the media file is in good form. It is available at "\$Root|Flash Media Server\tools\flvcheck.exe"
Now our intention should be to check the same media file with simpler application (since your production app is complicated) to ensure that the media streaming over 'client to server' is working fine.

Problem with NetConnection in Adobe AIR(Flex) using Flash Media Server.
Hi
I am creating a small chat application using Flash Media server. I have already created all my user interface components in Flex(Adobe AIR).In this application rather than sending text messages user can also send file to another user in his friend list.
problem what i am facing is, when i am sending file through FMS most of time it send successfully but for some files while sending application loss netconnection.
so i would like to know, rather than closing application what are other condition when FMS loses network connection?
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks.Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.

Hope that helps. -
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 WallworkJohn,
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. -
Why do I need Flash Media Server
Hello
My company produces advergames. We have just made a football
quiz that streams all questions and video content (quite small
content). The quiz will be on thousands of websites and will
probably get over 4 million users within a month.
Do I need Flash Streaming Media servcie to help me with this
and can anyone give me any ideas to the problems that may arise
from streming that much media?
Many thanks
MatmijeffYou need a streaming server to do it. FMS is (IMO) the best
choice, but there are two others I know of
Red5 (
http://osflash.org/red5) . Red5
is an open source, free (as in beer), java based flash media
server. It's still in beta, but I hear it's shaping up to be a
pretty solid server.
Wowza Media Server (
http://www.wowzamedia.com)
also has a java based flash server in beta, and the beta program is
open to the public. The projected prices (on their site) put the
price at about half that of FMS.
Just curious, how many people do you need to serve at once?
If it's 10 or less, you can use the free FMS developer
license. -
Hi,
I am developing an app for iPhone/iPad. The client wants to show some realtime data in the app. Something like a chat application, where even if users don't do anything (flash uses no event), they can see what other users are doing in realtime.
I went through adobe site to see Flash media Server for mobile device. But I am confused on which version of the server should suit the type of app I am developing.
Thanks,
SalimI'm more or less in the same boat. I've got the admin console
up. I am able to run the vodtest application locally pointing the
video file to rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv or using the server
name instead of localhost as in rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv
I can also load the html and swf file to my xp machine that
has access to the server via our internal network. (DNS isn't
configured yet) But the connectionFailed message appears when I try
to call the videos using rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv -
FMS4 -Set the Flash Media Server services to Run as Administrator (FMSCore not running)
Installed fms4 x64 on windows server 2008 to try it out. When i open up task manager to check processes running, FMSCore process does not runhttp://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86205.htmlI found this in the knowledge base but step3 "Run this program As Administrator" checkbox is greyed out so i cannot do anything. I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice.
Even the video that's supposed to play when you click the start screen is not playingSet the Flash Media Server services to Run as Administrator
Complete the following steps for each of the following files located in the Flash Media Server root installation folder (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flash Media Server, by default):
FMSAdmin.exe
FMSCore.exe
FMSMaster.exe
FMSEdge.exe
Right-click the file and chooseProperties.
Select the Compatibility tab and click Change Settings For All Users.
Select Run This Program As Administrator. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Complete these steps for each Flash Media Server service.
Restart the computer.
Flash Media Server starts when the computer starts.Hi,
Thanks for using FMS4.
When you said "
I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice. "
How did you make sure that the services are restarted ? Probably they have not yet started at all ? You need to have admin privileges to start/stop the FMS services. Please make sure you have the admin rights for the logged in user.
Open a command prompt as admin, and run the following commands :
net start fms
net start fmsadmin. -
Questions before I buy Flash Media Server 2
Hi! I'm considering buying Macromedia Flash Media Server 2.
This software would be a large investment for me, so I'd really
appreciate any answers or advice that anyone could provide. I just
have a couple questions:
1) Can FMS2 be installed on the same server that runs my Web
sites? I have a Linux server that runs a few sites, and it would be
ideal to run this software and the sites on the same server. I'm
also wondering what port it would run on? I've used RealNetworks'
Helix Server, which requires you to run it on a separate server
because of port issues. I want to use Flash instead.
2) Does this software also come with a Flash video player
that would work with my sites? I want to be able to stream .flv
videos from my Web sites and have a Flash player launch whenever a
user selects one of my videos (kind of like how RealPlayer launches
when you click a RM file). This way, the player wouldn't always be
embedded in the page. Is that possible? I'm worried about the
player failing to launch, or people needing to download a special
player to view my videos.
Thanks very much!1) Yes you can run it on the same box as your web server. You
can specify any port you wish for FMS to listen on (default is
1935)
2) I'm not quite sure I understand. In order to view your
videos a client will have to have a flash browser plugin installed
- which should not be a problem as flash browser penetration is
somewhere in the high 90th percentile (if Adobe is to believed). In
addition, your flash application will need to make a connection to
FMS before it can stream videos, so its not quite as simple as
clicking on a .flv link. Your flash app will have to be embedded in
a page (think youtube - although youtube does not use FMS).
If you're not sure if FMS is right for you (and you sound
like you're not sure), why don't you download the Developer edition
and test it out? Its free and has all the features of the "full"
version, but only gives you a license for 10 users. -
FMLE not connecting to Flash Media Server
I have two laptops with windows 7 and FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5 in them. Laptop A is working perfectly with the default settings but i cannot connect to FMS with laptop B. I have tried turning windows firewall off, setting fmscore, fmscore and fmsmaster to run under administrator privileges.
The FMS starts correctly on laptop B (i compared the log-files on laptop a and b) and here is edge.00.log from laptop B (i censored my ip and host):

When i hit Connect button in FMLE i get the "Cannot connect to primary server" - error. When i change the FMS-Url to the ip-address of my laptop A i can connect to its FMS. The default FMS Url is rtmp://localhost/live and Stream: "mystream@38220" (this is working in laptop A).
I downloaded TCPView and compared whats happening with the laptops when i hit the Connect button. On laptop B FMLE sends bytes to FMSEdge and it responds with 1 byte and then nothing happens. On laptop A same thing happens but it opens up FMSCore and the stream starts going live.
Apparently the FMS had worked on laptop B before but then it stopped working due to reasons unknown. I tried reinstalling it with no results and now im clueless. I also tried the fmscheck and it said it cannot connect to FMS. It seems the FMSEdge is not behaving correctly or something is blocking the traffic between the programs.

I tried connecting to localhost:1935 with telnet and typing something and then watching what happens in TCPView. It says that the fmsedge process listening to port 1935 establishes the connection and receives the bytes, though it closes it after few seconds probably because it doesnt understand what data i sent. And when FMLE sends 1537 bytes to fmsedge it receives them but nothing happens. -
Chat extension to flash media server
Hi,
We have been using flash media server with great success. We were wondering if the is any software package which works with the server to provide text chat amongst the user. I would think that there is someone who already built the software for a price.I am not sure if someone provides such a package. However, in case you are trying to develop such a chat system, there is a tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/first_im_app.html which should help you understand how to build such a system. Also there is one tutorial here at http://www.fmsguru.com/showtutorial.cfm?tutorialID=36 which could help you on this

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.
