Flash Media Server v3.5 - fmscheck question.
Hi,
I'm running some tests on an existing application that is configured with 12 "instances." When I run fmscheck with the "--allapps" flag set, only one of the 12 instances returns "NetConnection.Connect.Success." All other instances return "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected". Is this normal operation?
Below is a copy of the command, and the output.
Thanks,
Juan

One of the workarounds that I have found is ... i.e try making all three FMS Windows Services (Flash Media Administration Server, Flash Media Server (FMS) and FMSHttpd) in the some domain controller account or atleast the same Administrator.
After doing so first manually stop the Flash Media Administration Server. After the Administration Server Stops Now run the Flash Media Server (FMS) which should also automatically launch the FMSHttpd Service (Apache). Once both are started then try starting the Flash media Administration Server.
To make sure that Flash Media Administration Service Always Starts LAST you can either use Manual Batch file in sequence of starting or can set up the option of 'Delayed Start' in Services Settings.

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. -
Very basic question: Flash Media Server vs. embedding flash video
I'm hoping this is a quick easy question to answer:
What is the difference between Flash Media Server and simply
using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer
http://flowplayer.org/) that
uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a website?
What are the advantages to Flash Media Server and how does
something like Flowplayer not address issues that FMS can?
Thanks in advance!
ErikIn a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps. -
Flash Media Server Licensing Question
This may seem like a simple NO, but I'm interested in
building a pre-built image which will contain Linux installation
and Adobe Flash Media Server pre-configured. This setup would be in
a single image file used to run inside of VMware Server as a
Virtual Machine. By building the image, anyone who wants to test
FMS could download the image and load it into the Virtual Machine,
and not have to dedicated a full server to the installation.
If anyone can provide me a factual answer, either yes, no, or
someone to contact at Adobe I would be very appreciative.
Similar images of other programs can be found here:
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances
Other applications images include firewalls, web servers, and wiki
servers
Thanks,
Bradford Knowlton

http://x86Virtualization.comNo. FMS is not an "out of the box" solution. You'll need some
experience with Flash (client side flash), but how much you'll need
to know depends on the application you plan to build.
Adobe provides a set of communication components and sample
applications, and it's fairly easy to drag and drop your way to a
simple webcam application. It won't be very flexible, and it
certainly won't be secure, but it will get you started.
You'll also need to understand how to install and configure
server software, or hire someone to do that part for you. Just so
it's said, you can't install FMS on a shared hosting account, so
you'll need your own server.
As far as learning curve goes, I suppose it depends on your
background. If you already have an understanding of actionscript
and client/server communication, then the learning curve isn't
horribly steep. If you don't have a background in Flash (client
side flash), you might want to cover some of those basics before
diving into FMS. Unlike other streaming servers, there is no
default player that just pops open on the client side when a stream
is requested (like Windows Media or Real)... you need to build the
client application (.swf) yourself. -
Is it possible to use smartseek functionalities without FMS(flash media server)??
Hi,
Is it possible to use smart seek functionalities to play files local files without using flash media server(FMS).
I am currently using videoDisplay components but can switch to netStream component if it is possible without FMS.
As I have to seek frame by frame but the current seek() function doesnot provide that functionality.
Any kind of suggestion is most welcome.
Thanks in Advance.I'd like to revive this topic as I just purchased an ATV. I do like it but I am becoming very familiar with the limitations of the ATV.
I used to have a Snyology NAS server but it did not serve/stream the iTunes well enough to my stereo. I have a lot of photos of my children as well as movies and wanted to see more of them so I purchased the ATV as I knew the Syno server/NAS would be bricking soon.
Once the ATV is loaded it is fine for that content. But if there is other content on other computers well, they have to stream and the content on the ATV is not accessible to anything other than the stereo or TV that the ATV is connected to. So, finally, here is my question:
Which NAS streams VERY WELL with the ATV? Correct me if I am wrong but the NAS has to have iTunes imbedded within the server; yes? Secondly, is the best solution for serving an ATV as well as having all media content accessible to all LAN computers a Mac Mini?
So which is it? Please recommend an NAS that can serve iTunes media (music, photos, video) to an Apple TV or is the best solution a Mac Mini which acts like a NAS and streams all media content to the Apple TV and ATV will stream it to HDTV through HDMI , etc.
The ATV is great with the High Def.., wide screen, Dolby 5.1, HDMI port , etc. Just need a way to have the media accessible to everyone on the LAN as well as serve/stream to an already purchased Apple TV.
Thanks for the help,

Hi all,
Sorry for this question, but I'm a bit confused. Is there a
way to broadcast live flash video using just flash, or do I NEED
Flash Media server. I don't really have the budget for it, and
don't really know another option if Flash doesn't work.
ThanksYou 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. -
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

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. Please help.Access log looks like this:

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. -
Flash Media Server 2.0 patches
Hi,
We want to carry out a long overdue update to our Flash Media
Server, which is at version 2.0
1. One concern I have is licensing. We have a 100-user,
unlimited bandwidth license. As I understand it, version 2.0.1
introduced licensing profiles. The closest matching profile is for
150 users. I'm not sure - can I select that, or create my own
profile so we can use our existing licenses? Or have I
misunderstood what the profiles are for?
2. Also, I notice that the existing FMS needs to be
uninstalled and then 2.0.1 installed. Is this the case with
subsequent patches? I couldn't find a specific answer in the
release notes. If so, could I just install 2.0.5 and would that
include all the maintenance updates for previous releases?
Sorry if these are obvious questions. I've never updated FMS
2.0, so I just want to make sure it goes well :)
Thanks for your time,
Ajay PHi Jody,
I have a quick question regarding licensing. On my test
system I was able to put in the existing 100-user license into the
FMS 2.0.5 Management Console. Whereas in version 2 I had 100 peak
connections available, with 2.0.5 I now have 150.
I have no problem with this!
I just wanted to know if that's because of the updated
licensing system in 2.0.5 - i.e. is this by design?
Thanks again,
Ajay -
Hardening Flash Media Server 3.5
What type of TCP Flags Flash Media Server need for: RTMP/T RTMPE/TE
SYN and ACK?
Or do i need to set RST too?
Best Regards,
Sérgio HenriqueHmm, parse error on the question - those flags you mentioned are used during the normal operation of TCP state. You shouldn't need to change or be aware of them at all for either of the protocols you mentioned. It sounds similar to asking to me what flags are necessary for Fords or Chevys - do they need apply brake, apply gas. Can you explain the problem some?

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:

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:

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.

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. -
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..? -
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 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.
Regards,
Bill
