Flash Media Server tutorials

Hello everyone,
I'm new with Flash Media Server and I was wondering if someone of you guys know where I can fine a very good tutorial to study hard in order to learn how to play with FMS. I'm quite good in actionscript 3 but I miss the server side coding, and some basic theory.
Please, someone may suggest me some tutorials?
Thanks guys!
Alberto

Please have a look at this site : http://fmsguru.com/tutorials.cfm?tab=fms rather than at http://flashcomguru.com/tutorials/ - fmsguru is much updated site and you should get better tutoials here than other site which i mentioned. I somehow was mistaken with the names - sorry for inconvenience

Flash media server and strobe media player

Hi,
any one is done by sample program with Strobe media player and Flash media server?if yes means please send me some tutorials or sample file with steps how to do.

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in FMS and Strobe Media Player. SMP is a out of box sample player that can play streams from FMS and no coding is required for its basic functionality.
It can play RTMP and HTTP dynamic Streaming / HTTP progressive as well as multicast streams.
Download the Strobe media playback from http://www.osmf.org/strobe_mediaplayback.html , host it on a webserver and launch in a broswer.
launch either strobemediaplayback.html or setup.html to setup your own player with different settings.
Thank you !

FLEX 2.0 and Flash Media Server 2.0 Unable to stream from client to server

Hi All,
I have been trying to put together a quick demo to stream
and record audio from Client to Server. I get this error when
trying to connect to FMS.
ArgumentError: Error #2126: NetConnection object must be

Your help is greatly appreciated. Here is the MXML file

Flash media server is also installed on the same host
demoserver1.
I did not do any additional config at FMS except creating an
application called "DemoApp". All other settings are defaults.

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,

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.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
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.

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.

Playing video from a flash media server

Can anyone point me to code to play streaming video from a Flash Media Server in Flex?

Can you tell me how are you concluding that you are skipping few seconds when you set higher bufferTime - is it on visual inspection or say based on status messages.
