Flash Media Server Online

Hi,
I am creating an application that involves using flash media
server. I have downloaded the version that lets me test things
locally but I need to show these tests online. Is there a service
where I could have a limited amount of upload etc. I am a student
and can't afford the complete server, I just need to show that my
application can record from a webcam and then play it back online.
Any ideas?
thanks
Gavin

I have written some code which should help you do this. You
can find it here:

It is still in its early stages but is improving.

Hey Kristich,
Is the server that you have created behind some NAT, etc?
If you are using an IP of the form 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x then these are private IPv4 address spaces and not public IPs(which is unique), and you wont be able access them from outside.

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 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,
Dean

FMS does not have in-built support for this protocol

Live Streaming with flash media server

Hi,
i am installing flash media server 5.0. And its working perfect locally, I need to publish my video through my own IP address. How can i configure local to server

Thanks for the response
I m having Flash Media Server 4.5 . It works correctly in localhost. I want to make it online. I found a way, that place public ip address on the fms.ini file. I did it, but it does not work for me. How to fix this?

Why Flash Media Server

Hi All,
As it stands currently, I'm developing online teaching applications that faculty can use in their classes, as well as encoding and uploading videos to our Windows Servers. For database management, I'm coding server side scripts in PHP, and dumping everything into MySQL. Then embedding all the content into Moodle (which is hosted by a 3rd party).
I'm looking at a Flash Server Solution for a couple of reasons:
1) Delivering Streaming video instead of Progressive Download
2) Allowing instructors to encode and upload their own videos (similar to YouTube) without having to go through my office
3) Providing extra copyright security - in order to use some copyright videos, we have to ensure that only the students who are enrolled in specific classes can access the data. As it stands now, a smart student with the right URL can download anything we have up on our Windows servers.
Some Questions and concerns:
1) I don't know Cold Fusion. Will I have to rewrite all my scripts for that? Can Flash Media Server run PHP?
2) This is probably a really stupid one, but... Is Flash Server it's own platform, or does it have to run on a Windows or Linux box?
3) Does it need its own dedicated machine? Can you run a virtual server with Flash Server?
4) Which of the different flavors of Flash Server are best?
5) What kind of hardware specs are we looking at? We have 20,000 students and maybe a few thousand at any one time would have to access
Sorry about all the dumb questions. I'm mostly an app developer, but am in the position of having to make this decision, and then defend the decision if I decide to puruse a Flash server solution.
Thanks for your help.

Hi riquigley,
Following are quick answers on a few of your questions. Hopefully other folks will add their thoughts and also answer the questions I have skipped over.
4) Which of the different flavors of Flash Server are best?
-- FOR STRAIGHT VIDEO STREAMING USE Flash Media Streaming Server. THE PRICE POINT IS LOWER THAN Flash Media Interactive Server (aka FMIS. FMIS IS ONLY NEEDED FOR INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS, E.G. MULTIUSER, CHAT, ETC.)
-- COMPARE EDITIONS PAGE HERE:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/compare/
2) ... does it have to run on a Windows or Linux box?
-- YES. FMS IS A SERVICE THAT RUNS ON AN OS. WINDOWS AND RED HAT LINUX ARE SUPPORT. FULL REQUIREMENTS HERE:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediastreaming/systemreqs/
3) Does it need its own dedicated machine? Can you run a virtual server with Flash Server?
-- DEDICATED MACHINE *NOT* REQUIRED.
-- HOSTED SOLUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TOO. HOSTED SOLUTIONS MAY OFFER: A) BETTER QUALITY; B) LOWER TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP; C) QUICKER START TO LAUNCH.
-- SEE LIST OF HOSTING PARTNERS, AKA CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) HERE:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/fvss/
1) I don't know Cold Fusion. Will I have to rewrite all my scripts for that? Can Flash Media Server run PHP?
-- COLDFUSION NOT REQUIRED. EITHER PHP OR COLDFUSION CAN BE USED TO MANAGE METADATA (INCLUDING SQL DATABASE INTERACTION).
-- PHP AND COLDFUSION HANDLE ALL HTTP REQUESTS AND RETURN DYNAMICALLY GENERATED PAGES TO THE USERS' BROWSERS.
-- FLASH MEDIA SERVER HANDLES ALL RTMP REQUESTS. DYNAMICALLY GENERATED PAGES FROM PHP WILL INCLUDE THE RTMP URLs THAT THE FLASH/FLEX SWFs USE IN THE BROWSER TO REQUEST THE RTMP STREAMS FROM THE FLASH MEDIA SERVERS.

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.

How to get list of logged-in users from Flash Media Server in a Flash programm? (Or login/logout notifications)

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...
Jana

hparmar : 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..?

Windows Vista and Flash Media Server Streaming Problems

My company recently started using Flash Media Server to
stream audio and video content.
My boss just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and now no
streaming content will play at all. Simple Flash animations work,
but nothing that accesses the Flash Media Server for content. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the Flash Player
on his machine but nothing seems to work. I also tried the new
"Reset" feature in IE that is supposed to return it to it's
shipping state and that didn't work. I navigated to the "System 32"
folder and ran the Flash Updater EXE. I downloaded and installed
all of the available updates through "Windows Update".
I also tested Flash Objects that stream video on Adobe.com
and they don't play either. Has anyone heard of this happening or
know what I need to do to fix it? I don't know if this is a bug in
the Flash Player or with Windows Vista.

This appears to be the solution:

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.
Regards,
Bill

Adobe Flash Media Server in Ubuntu

I have installed Adobe Flash Media Server in Ubuntu.
When I run the command
sudo ./fmsmgr server start
it says that Server: start command:
Server service start not found. Exiting
When I start adminserver in the same way,
the message displayed is :
Starting Adobe Flash Media Admin Server (please check /var/log/messages)
In the messages, the following is displayed :
Server starting...
Listener started ( FCSAdminIpcProtocol ) : localhost:11110/v4
Listener started ( FCSAdminAdaptor ) : 1111/v4
Server started (./conf/Server.xml).
Let me know if I am facing any issue because of the OS not being supported.

If you navigate to path where FMS is installed say /opt/adobe/fms and then run ./server restart , do you get same error?

Flash Media Server 3 / FlashPioneer Video Chat

Just recently, I purchased and installed
'FlashPioneerVideoChat'...
I decided to use Flash Media Server 3 (developer addition)
for the local server. The problem is you can't login to the FMS
Server from the client end although all other communication aspects
work fine. When a connection is made the login starts but doesn't
open the application, it just keeps running. The Client side has
been debugged and tested so that points to the Flash Server and
whatever settings have to be made and/or code added to what file?
Could someone please point me in the right direction, Thank
you much ...

Hi, but doesn't the linux version work on a mac?
I'm a bit confused here.
I currently shoot video on a Canon mini dv camera and edit in Apple imovie.
Convert to Apple Quicktime and then import into Flash 8 video encoder.
I ftp the clips upto a flash server, from my mac and upload the playlist to my website host
using Flash 8.
Don't tell me i've now got to get one of those dreadful PC thingies to complete the loop,
surely Adobe didn't invent this wonderful piece of software so it could run from a PC?
Or did they?

Flash Media Server Update Process

Hi all,
I currently have Flash Media Server 3.5.0 installed and it has been running since 2009. It has been running for so long without issues I kind of forgot about it. Now i see there is an update to 3.5.7. I downloaded it but when I ran the installer it warned me that all my configuration settings may be lost. I tried to find some info on the best procedures to follow to perform the update but was unable to find much. I really do not want to lose my settings. I looked in the FMS admin console but i did not see any option to backup the current settings.
What is the best way to proceed with this update without losing your settings or negatively impacting the media server?

Like Graeme Bull said in another related post : "You can keep up on that on the product manager's blog though http://blogs.adobe.com/ktowes/"

Patch Flash Media Server

We currently have a server that operates as a streaming media
server running Adobe Flash Media Server 2 in our organisation and I
was looking into if there are any update features from Adobe
available to automatically download and install latest security
patches etc? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Nothing at the moment, it has to be done manually.

WAMP and Flash Media Server

I currently have WAMP(Windows, Apache,MySQL,PHP) installed as
my primary server; I do not want to change this. What I would like
to do is use Flash Media Server as my primary streaming server and
be able to host media files on it. I have been informed that if I
broadcast from the Media Server on Port 80 I will run into trouble
when I start the WAMP server (because it works on Port 80). The
resolution that I've been told is to put the Media Server on Port
:8080. What I am trying to find out is if any one here is running
the Flash Media Server as a second server using Port 8080 or is it
smarter to just assign Flash Media Server it's own port. By the
way, I am trying to set up a test environment that will replicate
what the real server and application will have to do. Any advice is
greatly appreciated. Thank You

what version of windows are you running?.......try shutting down fms service before making changes.......I know in windows 7 you have to right click choose properties of the folder fms.ini resides in and adjust the security settings.
