Flash Media Server - Stream AVI

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to stream video
files to the adobe flash media server. I have been able to setup
the server and client, and been able to stream my webcam to the
server, and from the server to clients.
Is it possible to stream an AVI (or other video format) file
directly to the server? (avi--->server--->client) ?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

a friend tell me Flash Video Server is a cool tool,it is a
powerful video streaming platform which provides services of
streaming Flash videos and audios between the server side and
client side. Flash Video Server offers you easy solution to enable
your clients to play, record, and publish local Flash videos, live
videos and audios to the server and share with other users.

hope it can help you.

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:

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 ...

Live Instance in Flash Media Server 4.0 crashes/causes stream failure

Hi,
I have a Flash Media Server streaming version 4.0 server that is expierencing some issues. Currently multiple inlet encoders are publishing live video content to this FMS. At random times, the live_definst_ instance will crash and then restart itself. The encoder does not recognize this new session and as a result, no new live video is being sent unless the encoder is stopped/started. This cannot be done during live events, however.
I also have an enterprise version 4.0 that does not have this issue. Is there a fundamental difference between the streaming/enterprise versions that would cause this issue and if so, is there any modifications that can be done to the streaming server that can fix this?
Also I've noticed on the master logs that the enterprise server has various
_defaultRoot_L_defaultVHost_:::_0 expierenced 1 failure's
After this it seems like it starts. However, the streaming server has this:
_defaultRoot_L_defaultVHost_:::_0 expierenced 2 failure's
Recovering core _defaultRoot_:::: with 2 failure[s] after 300 seconds!
What exactly is this "recovering" process, could this be what is causing this issue? Can I disable this in the config?

You need to place the crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Create a text file in the webroot folder using notepad, and call it crossdomain.xml. The text below will give you a wide open access policy, which is fine for testing.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
For debugging HTTP streaming I recommend you get hold of something like Charles or Fiddler. These will greatly assist in pinpointing any issues.

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.

Hi,
Are you trying to make an air app or a web application (flash) for streaming? You may want to check out the osmf framework to help you write a player for mobile platform. Check out http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/ for more info on how you can write streaming video players using this framework. There are some good tutorials there and also you may post on the forum to get your specific queries solved.
Thanks,

Live Streaming video and Flex2(3?) + Flash Media Server?

I've seen alot of topic on how to create video sites for
clips, etc. with Flex and Flash Media Server, but how about live
streaming video, like a concert or a seminar. I can't find any
information on this at all, could anyone point me in the right
direction?

What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
// get camera and mic
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
default mic
// if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
// create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
before
// so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
ns.attachCamera(cam);
ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
to live+rec
// connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
might need to
cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
uses) in order for this to work.
Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
help.

Streaming from Flash Media Server into Captivate

Hi
We're fortunate to have a Flash Media Server (4) which we use to distribute video over our local network using Flash CS5 and have encountered no problems. However, when I try to use it for Captivate 5 files I've had no success (same with 4 incidentally). I've tried just about every string I can think of with no ext., with the ext, f4v's, flv's, /mp4:, different folders/ no folders (vod) etc etc. There must be something fundamentally wrong with what I'm doing but for the life of me I can't think what. The Media server currently delivers video over our Intranet and we also use it for Adobe Connect. Any help in this matter will be appreciated.
My string is rtmp://breezefms2/vod/<nameofvideo> (no ext.)

Hi Crozzer,
We have published a blog post detailing the formats to be used for streaming video.
I would suggest you to have a look at the blog post : http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html and try out the streaming formats mentioned.
Please incorporate the URI changes mentioned in the blog post and let us know if streaming video works for you.
Thanks

Streaming flash media server to the world and not just your local network

hello, i have downloaded and installed flashe media server.....but i have som problems which are: i am on a network which is connected to the internet and i was able to get the ip of my pc using the comand prompt (i.e typing ...ipconfig/all....in the comand prompt window) ...i used this ip in my flash media encoder in place of "localhost" in the fms url, and i was able 2 connect fine ,i the copied my fms url to the osmf player and i generated my html code and put it in my webpage and everything did work fine, but the proble is that only the people who are on thesame network with me were able to view the video on the webpage wereas people in other countries could not view the video....... so please how can i be able to make my video acessable to the whole world ,because i work in a television company and they have asked me to undertake the task to stream thier broadcast online to the whole world........please i would like u to put me through the right things to do because have been having sleepless night on flash media server.....would be expecting a reply from anyone who can help me as quick as possible. thanks

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.

Streaming from Digital Rapids to Flash Media Server

Hello,
I am using a Digital Rapids StreamZ encoder (version 3.8.0) to stream towards YouTube, Dailymotion, Akamai. I wish to install a Flash server on the same VLAN as my Digital Rapids in order to check the encoding in case there is an issue on YT/DM's side. I therefore downloaded Adobe Flash Media Server and now wish to send my stream towards the AMS. Which Server URL and Stream Name should I use to configure my Digital Rapids? How should I configure the AMS to receive the stream from the DR?
Many thanks in advance for your help and advice,
mdicamp

The Digital Rapids doesn't seem to recognize my destination Server URL. I guess it is because of a port issue.
Checking the ports situation on my AMS Server (cmd -> netstat -an), I realise port 1935 (which receives RTMP) is only listening locally (127.0.0.1:1935) instead of to the exterior (I would like to have 0.0.0.0:1935). The application does not seem to have forced the port to open (I don't have any firewall).
I hope this helps move anyone forward in helping me out. Thanks in advance !

Streaming with Flash Media Server

Hello all,
I'm new user in Flash Media Server. I installed it in a Red
Hat Enerprise 4 but i am not able in create no steaming file. I'm
be simple. What have i to do in order to create a simple atream
flash video? I don`t have any idea on where i havve to put the
video, where i have to put the swf file, how i create a fls who
communicate with my server...
Please help me,
Thanks for all,
Mauricio Barreto

Hello Mauricio -
There is probably several ways to do this, but being sort of
new with FMS2 too, I'll give you the way that I'm currently using
it. Both my Web server and FMS2 are on the same computer.
You FMS2 installation created a /fms/ directory.
for FLV files - /fms/applications/ and then I've created sub
directories under here for each FLV file. So, for example, the full
directory path for one of my FLV files
/fms/applications/lemurs/streams/_definst_/lemurs.flv
The "main.asc" file needs to go here too -
/fms/applications/lemurs/main.asc (for the example above).
for SWF files - put these on your Web server side.
When you make your SWF files you will reference your FLV
'source' (in 'parameters tab' in Flash) as
"rtmp:/lemurs/lemurs.flv" - again, if your Web server and FMS2 is
on the same computer. You can also do
"rtmp://UR.IP.AD.RES/lemurs/lemurs.flv" - for example,
"rtmp:/192.168.1.1/lemurs/lemurs.flv"
I hope this helps some.

How to test streaming bandwidth on localhost with Flash Media Server ?

Hello,
I'm trying to debbug my code on Client side (Action Script 3) that works with Flash Media Server 4 on localhost. Everything seems fine up to that point.
However, when I'm trying to test my player with other remote streaming servers, I notice bugs because of lower bandwith transmission between the server and the player.
Is there a simple way to simulate lower bandwith with FMS4 on localhost (by config, application.xml, programmation...) ?
Thanks
Seb Ethier

Thank you zarihs Rawna
Indeed, i have been with Server-Side ActionScript (SSAS) way. it's more simple, i think.
Well, here the step what i did :
Step 1 :
Make a file "main.asc" et copy & paste the code below.
- more info : http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=31217
      *main.asc*
    var bandwidth;
    application.allowDebug = true;
    // Application callback functions
    application.onConnect = function(client, user) {
        //12800 = 100 Kbps
        //64000 = 500 Kbps
        //131072 = 1Mbps
        //327680 = 2.5 Mbps
        //983040 = 7.5 Mbps
        //1966080 = 15 Mbps
        //3932160 = 30 Mbps
        //6553600 = 50 Mbps
        //15728640 = 120 Mbps
        bandwidth = 64000;
        client.setBandwidthLimit(bandwidth, bandwidth);
        trace("clientToServer = " + client.getBandwidthLimit(0) + " serverToClient="+ client.getBandwidthLimit(1));
        application.acceptConnection(client);
        trace("TEST");
Step 2 : Save the file under the folder underneath FMS's applications directory
Example : FMS\application\dyn
More info : http://www.flashcomguru.com/articles/fms2_basics.cfm
Step 3: Start the FMS server. If there is a problem, check the log file
Example : FMS\logs\_defaultVHost_\dyn\_definst_\application.00.log
Step 4 : (optional) Change the value of the variable bandwidth for your test. I put in comment some common internet connection speed converted in bytes.
That's all,
regards,
sethier

How can I put video stream on flash media server on to website running on IIS7?

We are encoding live video feed using Flash Live Media Encoder and publishing it using Flash Media Server. Is there any documentation on how I can put this publishing point on a website running on IIS7?

Sorry - but not very clear what you are trying to achieve here - can you please elaborate what you want to do?

Flash Media Server Stops Streaming

We are running Flash Media Server version 2.0.3 r68. Lately,
for some reason FMS will simply stop serving content. When this
happens, the FMS service is running and there is nothing in the
logs indicating anything out of the ordinary. The only way to fix
the problem is to stop and restart the FMS service. After doing
this, FMS will work fine for several days before failing in exactly
the same way. Anyone have ideas what's going on or what will fix
this?

It seems a bit strange that this behavior started happening
"lately". Did you install some other piece of software or patch
recently? What is the load on the server? (cpu, connections,
memory, etc..)
When you say it stops serving content, does this mean that
you are able to connect to the application instance, but just not
able to play content?
If this behavior keeps happening capture the process state
while it is hung (use adplus -hang option on windows)
