FMS Admin

I am trying to locate an FMS Admin to educate our team on the
full functionality of FMS and validate our installation. I need
someone for about 2 weeks in Louisville, KY. Any ideas on where to
find this person? I'm coming up empty at every turn.

Hi Carlos,
1. Call getAppStats() or getInstanceStats() to get the
processID number. It's returned here: result.data.cores.pid.
2. You can use configuration files to assign applications to
core processes in varying ways. But to assign an app to a specific
core process, you have to use the Access plug-in:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Plugin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0d6624 34-7fed.html#WS47C96BDA-C00C-4205-BFA5-C7EDE9000D13
The above link provides more information, but essentially,
you're using the Administration APIs to monitor QoS, then calling
setValue() in the Access plug-in (in C++) to assign the app to a
core.
For information about using the config files to assign apps
to cores, see:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2 925e64-7ff0.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7dca
Hope that helps,

FMS Admin APIs help

Hi,
I am building an FMS admin application. I have one application at FMS server "ChatManager". Clients (swf) connect to this ChatManager application (FMS) and Chat, video Audio conference. All applications are fine and working perfect.
Now I need to build a admin application, to overview and maintain the chat sessions. In this application, one will view the chats and particular video streams, disconnect the users, send a message to a particular user.
ChatManager : A custom FMS server side application developed by us.
I don't want to write any code in FMS server side application "ChatManager". Just want to implement every functionality by using FMS Admin APIs.
So, can anyone tell me the FMS admin apis for
>> Disconnect a particular user,
>> Call a function at FMS server side application (as defined in "chatManager")
>> Call a function defined at user end (in connected users swf).
>> Send message to a particular user.
>> Access the server side sharedObjects.
Looking forward for your help.
Thanks,
Amit

The admin console uses debug connections to the app instances to read shared object data... that feature doesn't use methods of the admin service to actually fetch the data.
As for invoking an SSAS method via the admin service, I don't know of any way to do it. Is there any particular reason why you can't connect directly to the application to invoke the method?

FMS Admin Console Won't Load - Server Not Found

Hey,
Randomly on Sunday night the FMS Admin Console which you can access via http://SERVER IP/fms_adminConsole.htm stopped working, as in it would not load.
It times out and Firefox says 'Server Not Found'
It was working fine on Sunday morning and has been doing for a year now, I rebooted the server and that did nothing.
I have no idea why it will not load as the server runs fine and I can still stream and everything.
Any ideas?

From your desktop and on your server try the below. That is if you have installed using the default ports, if you have changed any on install (or afterwards) reflect the changes below.
telnet <IP of your server> 80
telnet <IP of your server> 8143
telnet <IP of your server> 1111
telnet <IP of your server> 1935
If any fail on your server, you have a service/install issue.
If any fail on your server, you have a firewall/IP issue.

FMS Admin Wanted for Short Term Contract Work

I know there are tons of services out there for linux/windows administrators, but can anyone point me to where I can find an experienced FMS administrator? We need some help configuring our server for some high traffic loads. This would be a paid gig.

If the candidate had all the correct attributes then it could indeed be an option.

Using FMS v4.5.5 with a browser-based audio player running on iPad/iPhone

Hello,
I’m seeking some clarity/guidance on using FMS v4.5.5 (Streaming Edition) with a browser-based audio player running on iPad/iPhone (i.e. under iOS).
Background
I have a Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Web Server running IIS v7.5 and supporting a website built using ASP.NET and C#. Parts of the website allow a visitor to play a selection of audio clips from our bespoke MP3 library. Due to UK music licencing constraints, we must stream the clip to the client browser – we must not download either part or all of the source MP3 file(s). We therefore had a custom audio player built for us some time ago using Flash/AS3. This has and continues to work very well, and uses RTMP to stream the clips from FMS to the client browser.
As our site has become more established the number of visitors has steadily grown. In the early days the number of visitors from the iOS platform was relatively small but, last month, it had risen to 40%! As Flash is not supported on the iOS platform, this growing group of visitors are unable to fully maximise the benefits offered by the website, which I am now trying to address.
What I’m Trying To Do…
From what I’ve researched and read, I believe that FMS v4.5.5 supports HLS and I need to use this (instead of RTMP) over HTTP between FMS and the iOS Safari client. I have been experimenting with an Open Source player (JPlayer) and a commercial player (JWplayer) and appear to have these playing a MP3 file as a “progressive download” (I think that’s the right term) as all I’m doing is specifying the file path (no HTTP prefix etc.), i.e. the audio is not really being streamed as I require. Unfortunately, I’ve not found / worked out how to configure my FMS to respond to a path request along the lines of:
http://www.myserver.com/live/audio1.mp3
Hopefully someone reading this who is much more expert on FMS, HLS, HDS, HTML5, etc. than me can point me in the right direction!
What I’m confused about…
1) Can all my MP3 assets stay as is and still be streamed to the iOS Safari client? To the best of my knowledge, the key properties of my MP3 files are CBR, 44,100Hz, 320Kbps.
2) If not, can they be converted on-the-fly by FMS or do I need to create additional audio assets to support HLS etc.?
3) If I have to manually create additional audio assets, how do I do that (I’ve seen references to tools from both Adobe and Apple but not actually found the kits)?
4) Some of the Adobe documentation I’ve read implies that FMS support for HLS etc. is only available when FMS is used in conjunction with the bundled Apache web server. As stated earlier, my entire site runs on IIS so does that mean to achieve what I want I’ll have to run two web servers on my physical server – IIS for the website itself and Apache for RTMP/HLS/etc.?
5) What changes do I need to make to my current FMS configuration to get HLS to work? I’m sure someone has been here already and can enlighten me with their experience and hopefully point me to some straight forward documentation to follow!
6) Lastly, and really part of (5), once I’ve got FMS configured correctly, what would be the typical path to a given MP3 audio file that I would give the iOS Safari browser to make this all work.
I appreciate this is rather a lengthy first post but hopefully the background puts my questions (and confusion!) in context. Bottom line is… I simply want to be able to stream audio clips only (no video) to iOS Safari browsers from FMS v4.5.5 running on a Win2K8R2 platform with IIS v7.5, and with no audio content being stored (even temporarily) on the iOS platform.
My thanks and appreciation in advance to anyone who can help me achieve this.

Hi Apurva,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I am not much further forward, despite having read more Adobe documentation (FMS v4.5 Configuration and Administration Guide, FMS v4.5 Developer’s Guide) and trying different configuration options.
First to confirm a point you made when answering point 4 yesterday. Yes, in my current RTMP scenario I have several MP3 assets (let’s call them Audio1.mp3, Audio2.mp3, Audio3.mp3, etc.) that are made available to a bespoke Flash/AS3 player via the LIVE application. I understand that as I purchased the Streaming Edition of FMS v4.5, a Flash-based player is restricted to using the LIVE application. You go on to say that I “publish” these assets to the LIVE application. I set this up a while back but do not recall having to “publish” anything. All I recall doing was to ensure that all the assets (the .mp3 files) were in a single folder and that the folder was identified by the <Streams> tag in the following file (example shown):
Flash Media Server 4.5\applications\live\Application.xml
                <StreamManager>
                                <VirtualDirectory>
                                                <Streams>/;C:\MP3Library</Streams>
                                </VirtualDirectory>
                </StreamManager>
To the best of my knowledge, I didn’t have to do anything else to make the current solution work. Having read more of the documentation I am still none the wiser as to what I need to do (step-by-step) to “publish” my converted MP3 assets (see next paragraph) to the LIVEPKGR application. Please could you explain these steps to me by way of an example.
WRT your answer to point 1 yesterday, I wish to clarify the exact output I need to create when converting my MP3 assets. Am I expected to produce a Audio1.aac file, or a Audio1.mp4, file, or a Audio1.m4a file, etc.? Or am I meant to be using ffmpeg (either directly or indirectly) with a much more sophisticated command line that somehow generates stream-rated info/files as well? An example of how you would use ffmpeg to convert one of my MP3 assets would be very much appreciated.
Lastly, the coexistence of IIS and Apache (ref your answer to point 2 yesterday). That all made sense but given all the testing/changes I’ve been making I thought it wise to start afresh! So I completely removed FMS from my dev server and re-installed Flash Media Streaming Server v4.5.5 with the bundled Apache v2.2 server. When presented with the dialogue “Would you like for Apache to listen on port 80. If not FMS will be using port 80 instead.” I answered NO. When presented with the dialogue regarding FMS server ports, I entered 1935 NOT 1935,80 (should I have done that as the preamble makes reference to HTTP webserver proxy and HTTP Dynamic Streaming origin services?). I then modified the Application.xml file as described above.
To test the new set-up, I did the following. First, the test environment…
DEV Server
Windows Web Server 2008 R2 SP1
IIS v7.5
ASP.NET v4.0
Flash Media Streaming Server v4.5.5
Apache v2.2
IE v9.0
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX v11.5.502.146
TEST Client
Apple iMac (Intel)
Mac OS X v10.6.8
Safari v5.1.7
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plug-in v11.5.502.146
On DEV Server… launched IE and loaded the home page of my website, which has two elements on it – one to load/run our bespoke Flash player, the other to run JPlayer (configured to use HTTP). I selected our bespoke Flash player and it played a MP3 audio file. I verified this in real-time via the FMS Admin Console on the server.
On TEST Client… entered http://192.168.20.250:8134 into Safari – it comes up with the FMS install completed / test your server page. In the middle of the video display area a black box appears saying “10000 OK” – I clicked OK. I then clicked HDS Single Bitrate – the video plays (Not Using Hardware Acceleration is briefly displayed). There is NO activity logged in the FMS Admin Console back on the DEV server under “live”, “livepkgr” or “vod”. I assume this is because I’ve gone straight to the Apache Server via the port reference – is that correct? Next I tried the HLS Single Bitrate – same results.
The HDS Single Bitrate logs the following in the Apache access_log file:
"GET /hds-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.f4m HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
The HLS Single Bitrate logs this:
"GET /hds-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.f4m HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8 HTTP/1.1" 304 - "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8 HTTP/1.1" 200 816 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag1Num0.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 1143416 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag1Num1.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 873072 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
"GET /hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4vFrag2Num2.ts HTTP/1.1" 200 1591984 "-" "Apple Mac OS X v10.6.8 CoreMedia v1.0.0.10K549"
etc…
At this point I’m stuck once again since I’m not clear how to construct the JPlayer HTTP reference. You have suggested:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/livestream.m3u8
That produces the following in the Apache error_log file:
[error] [client 192.168.20.4] File does not exist: D:/Program Files/Adobe/Flash Media Server 4.5/webroot/hls-live
If I change the JPlayer HTTP reference to:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-vod/sample1_1500kbps.f4v.m3u8
the audio from the video plays.
Also, if I look in the applications\livepkgr folder structure there is only \events (with sub-folder _definst_ and sub-sub-folder liveevent) – there are no _definst_ , livestream , streams folders etc. So besides me not quite understanding the logic/flow here, I seem to be missing a few folders/files too! I’d be very grateful for any light you can shed on all this. Plus an example of what my HTTP string should ultimately look like; for example:
http://192.168.20.250:8134/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/livestream/Audio1.m3u8
Apologies for such a long reply but I’ve been at this for over 10 hours today! I feel I’m getting closer but clearly there are still some gaps and configuration errors.
Thanks again for your time, support, patience and understanding.
Kind Regards, Steve

FMS Republishing Not Showing Stream

I'm utilizing the developer edition of FMS and am trying to republish a stream that is being broadcast with Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) unfortunately, I am unable to get any audio or video to display in the client application. The client app can get the stream from the published to app (e.g. CamChat) but not from the republished stream. Following is the output of the trace statements from the SSAS as well as the source for main.asc:
Error output: (to FMS Admin Console)
Rebroadcast is starting...
NetConnection> code: NetConnection.Connect.Success
Stream> code: NetStream.Publish.Start
Stream> details:
Stream> details: livestream
Stream> code: NetStream.Play.Reset
Stream> code: NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound
Stream> details: livestream
Stream> code: NetStream.Play.Stop
Stream> details: livestream
main.asc:
var localStream = "rtmp://localhost/CamChat";
application.onAppStart = function()
     application.allowDebug = true;
     trace("Rebroadcast is starting...");
application.onConnect = function( client )
     this.acceptConnection( client );
     trace("Connect client id: " + client.id);
     client.onBWDone = function( info ) {
          trace("Server onBWDone: " + info);
//---------- Rebroadcast the stream ----------//
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(localStream);
nc.onStatus = function(info)
     trace("NetConnection> code: " + info.code);
     if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")
          rebroadcast_s = new Stream.get("livestream");
          rebroadcast_s.onStatus = function(info)
               trace("Stream> code: " + info.code);
               trace("Stream> details: " + info.details);
          rebroadcast_s.play("livestream", 0, -1, true, nc);
          //rebroadcast_s.record("record");
The ultimate goal is to subscribe to stream(s) that will be coming from our Limelight FMS and record them to our local FMIS server.

So you want to publish the stream it to a remote server. For this you need to publish it to the remote server using a NetStream object. Change the code here. Here you are just doing a server side play and not multi point publishing to a remote server. It will go like this
if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")
          ns = new NetStream(nc);
          ns.onStatus = functio(info) {
                  trace(info.code);
          rebroadcast_s = Stream.get("livestream");
          rebroadcast_s.onStatus = function(info)
               trace("Stream> code: " + info.code);
               trace("Stream> details: " + info.details);
               if (info.code == "NetStream.Publish.Start")
                    retval = ns.attach(rebroadcast_s);
                    if(retval)
                            ns.publish("livestream");
                    trace("The stream is now publishing");
          rebroadcast_s.play("livestream", -1, -1, true, nc);
Revert back in case of issues.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Open WF , Admin LOGS OFF

Hi Friends,
If I try to open the Resource Workflows (in admin console/ resources/Manage/resource Details/...) of a PROV/RECON resource, a new window open with error *"Either your session timed out or you are trying to access a page without logging in"* and xelsysadm logs off.
the provisioning and recon process is working fine. I'm not able to see the WorkFlow Visualiser.
Pls Help Me Out.

Hi Nitin,
Due to the doubt of previleges only, I installed FMS again on a new machine, in the D: drive. But for no luck.
1. I am running FMSMaster on the console, but not the FMS Admin. Can you tell me the command to run Admin from the console too? I opened the services.msc, and there are only one FMS, FMS admin, and Httpd servies. How do I confirm if FMS ther is no second instance of FMS? Please guide me.
2. I don't think there is any privileges issue while running cmd prompt. Because ealier (before modifying fms.ini and conf) the logs were appearing fine. As soon as I modified the files, and started playing the videos from remote, the logs stopped updating. Here
3. I also divered the logs folder to D:/logs folder by modifying LOGGER.LOGDIR in fms.ini But still the same result. The access.00, core.00, Edge.00, access_log, have the values only before modifying fms.ini and apache/conf files.
I also tried displying the logs using getserverstats but, it gives the following output. Although, I had enabled the getserverstats command in Users.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result><level>error</level><code>Admin.API.MethodNotAllowed</code><description>getserverstats - Method not allowed!</description><timestamp>7/9/2012 7:11:31 PM</timestamp></result>
I am attaching the fms and conf files from my FMS. Please take a look, and suggest if there is something glaring in here.
thanks,

Install FMS server in Fedora

Cannot install FMS server in Linux Fedora 4, I receive this
message:
Your distribution, unknow, is not supported by this
Macromedia Flash Media Server installer.
What can I do, who can help me?

I got FMS working with Fedora by entering these UNIX
commands:
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.4
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6
sudo ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.4
sudo ln -s libssl.so libssl.so.6
/etc/init.d/fms start
ALSO, don't forget that you need to have these port numbers
opened by your ISP:
FMS Server Port = 1935
FMS Admin Server Port = 1111
Enjoy!

Fmsmaster using admin server port

It seems after a while the admin server stops responding on our fms server. When logging into the linux machine, I can see that the fms admin process is not running, and the pid in fmsadmin.pid is stale. When trying to restart the service with:
"./fmsmgr adminserver restart"
it fails to start the service with the following message in /var/log/messages:
Failed to create listener for adaptor admin, IP , port 1111: TCCommBridge::createListener 0.0.0.0:1111/v4: bind failed!!!.
Failed to create listener for adaptor admin, IP , port 1111: TCCommBridge::createListener 0.0.0.0:1111/v4: bind failed!!!.
Failed to initialize listeners for adaptor admin, FMS is already running or other processes are using the same ports.
Checking to see what is listening on port 1111 with netstat:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:11110             0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      11005/fmsmaster

This is the second time this has happend. How is it possible for fmsmaster to be using the admin server ports, and how would I prevent this in the future?
Thanks,

FMS is still configured to only listen on 1935,443,80. Does this mean it is something to do with the machine itself or maybe the installation of fms?

FMS Developer Ed & Local System account

Is it only possible to run the FMS service as the Local
System account in Windows Server 2003? I tried to change the Log On
params to a user with privileges to another server's share but the
service won't start up afterward. And in the info box in the FMS
Admin app there is a little tiny tooltip within the popup message
that says something about "License info". I changed the user back
to Local System account and the service started up right away. I'm
trying to test an app's ability to access a different path that's
set in the application.xml <VirtualDirectory><Streams>
node.
So, is it a limitation of the FMS Developer edition or is it
something on our end? I thought the only limitation was 10
conncections.

... i have unchecked that from there and again after some minutes say 10 -15 minutes it gets locked ...
Hi,
Perhaps you can look into these areas for stored (and expired) password:
Check to see if there are any Services that is running using the affected administrator account.
Check to see if there are any Scheduled Tasks running using the affected administrator account.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Tas Chew

Admin Command Timeout

My streaming server 3 hanged last night and can be restarted.
I found that the admin logs have thousands of line like the
following:
2008-12-22 03:20:15 236 (e)2671287 Admin Command Timeout:
(Command (getServerStats) timed out.) -
2008-12-22 03:20:15 236 (e)2671287 Admin Command Timeout:
(Command (getVHostStats) timed out.) -
How can I solve this problem? Restart the computer helps, but
I wonder there is a way to solve it.

Well, really, none of these problems should happen! But,
sadly, they do and not just for me.
A Google search will show that these Admin timeouts are a
very common problem but no-one seems to have a solution. More
worryingly, I have never seen any suggestion from Adobe about what
might cause them.
Since my original post I have made two changes to our app:
(1) when the 'owner' of the room leaves I unload the instance
(after a 30 seconds delay)
(2) I amended the application.xml for this app to timeout
idle connections after 2 minutes (the default is no timeout)
This has made things slightly better in that the app now runs
for 2/3 days without failing (rather than failing twice a day).
But, it still fails and the only thing that brings it back is a
reboot of the server which is totally unacceptable in a live
environment where we usually have 500+ clients watching 100 live
streams at any one time (many on a pay-per-minute basis). The only
other significant thing I notice now is that once the machine has
been running for a couple of days the logging stops completely for
some (but not all) instances i.e. nothing is displayed in the admin
console and nothing is written to the log files. It's as if the FMS
Admin has just given up.
Re. your suggestion about checking IPs etc. There are no
"hidden clients"! When the Admin fails it is possible to be on a
machine with a single connection (i.e. my client). When I reload my
client there is a trace that I have disconnected, then reconnected
again *but* the connection count goes up by one. If I reload twenty
times the count will increase to 20. Even if I close my browser the
connections will apparently stay, sometimes for days!
As I mentioned, this happens on multiple servers with lots of
different clients and very, very low load. When it happens is, so
far, unpredictable other than it will happen and bring down our
live system.

How to remove disconnected client from admin console

Hi All,
I have developed a video chat application and during my testing, I found that if video chat is going on and in between the call if some one unplugged Internet cable then FMS admin console is taking too much time to disconnect as well as remove from list.
Is there any way to remove disconnected client immediately from admin console then please help me either by doing any configuration or logic.
Thanks
Ram

You can set the AutoCloseIdleClients parameter for your application (simple), or write your own active detection method (harder).
Here is a link to old documentation for AutoCloseIdleClients:

Admin logs not appearing

Hi,
I am using FMS 4.5.1 and Windows 2008 (64 bits) OS. I am loading the media files from a different machine. Thus I started running the FMSMaster as Network service on the console. Ever since this is running on a console, the error logs have stopped appearing on the Admin panel. I am getting following error on the console while FMS is running:
Failed to open log file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4.5\logs\master.00.log errno=13
Machine configuration:
Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise,
SP1, 64-bit Operating System
RAM 16GB
Process Intel(R) Xeon (R) CPU E5607 @ 2.27GHz
Please suggest.
thanks,

Hi Nitin,
Due to the doubt of previleges only, I installed FMS again on a new machine, in the D: drive. But for no luck.
1. I am running FMSMaster on the console, but not the FMS Admin. Can you tell me the command to run Admin from the console too? I opened the services.msc, and there are only one FMS, FMS admin, and Httpd servies. How do I confirm if FMS ther is no second instance of FMS? Please guide me.
2. I don't think there is any privileges issue while running cmd prompt. Because ealier (before modifying fms.ini and conf) the logs were appearing fine. As soon as I modified the files, and started playing the videos from remote, the logs stopped updating. Here
3. I also divered the logs folder to D:/logs folder by modifying LOGGER.LOGDIR in fms.ini But still the same result. The access.00, core.00, Edge.00, access_log, have the values only before modifying fms.ini and apache/conf files.
I also tried displying the logs using getserverstats but, it gives the following output. Although, I had enabled the getserverstats command in Users.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result><level>error</level><code>Admin.API.MethodNotAllowed</code><description>getserverstats - Method not allowed!</description><timestamp>7/9/2012 7:11:31 PM</timestamp></result>
I am attaching the fms and conf files from my FMS. Please take a look, and suggest if there is something glaring in here.
thanks,
Komal

Choppy streaming video FMS 3.5

All,
I'm new to the streaming video world but I do have FMS 3.5 up and running and have encoded some wmv and mp4 videos to flv using adobe encoder CS4. I followed the tutorials and have created the swf files in flash CS4 and the videos are streaming as expected.
The primary issue I am having is the videos tend to be choppy at times. They pause, run slowly, audio pops and just overall; glitchy. Typically at the beginning but some times throughout. The test files at the FMS admin page stream fine without issue from the same server. We have tested the site/streams from multiple providers all at cable modem speed or above.
We are running FMS 3.5 developer version and wish to purchase the full version but I really need to fix this issue to prove it's value.
As a bit of background we are running/testing FMS 3.5 from a server with the following specs:
Redhat EL 4.6-32
SuperMicro X7DBU Intel Xeon QuadCore DualProc Sata [2Proc]
Intel Xeon-Harpertown 5420-Quadcore [2.5GHz]
OEM 4GB ECC FB-DIMM DDR2
Mainboard \ Onboard \ SATAII Controller
(2) Western Digital WD Caviar RE 16 WD2500YS
Uplink speed 10 (Mbps)
Bandwidth allotment 2000 GB(Virtual Private Rack)
Any input regarding how to test to identify the issue or past experiences with the same issue will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. If there are any experienced individuals out there that could get us up to speed quickly we could discuss that offline.
Thanks!
Keith

Hi Jay,
Answers to your questions:
1. What bitrate (audio+video) are your files encoded at?
FLV output file from original wmv: using On2 VP6, 638x480, framerate 29.97, stereo audio 128kbps, video bitrate encoding VBR, encoding pass one, 1,500kbps, undershoot 90, quality: good.
2. When you experience this choppy playback, how many clients are consuming video from the server at that time?
1 or 2; we're only testing now and there is almost no load
3. What is the bufferTime set to in your client side code?
I'm not sure what this is set to; I know we haven't adjusted it. Where would I find this code?
4. Is the server in a datcenter, or is it running on a residential or commercial ISP line?
server is in the Seattle Softlayer datacenter
Thanks so much for the help!
Keith
