FMS broadcasting and recording

Hey,
I have Adobe Flash Media Server installed on ubuntu.
and I have some questions about operating it...
1. What do I need to do in order to stream a live H.264
broadcast?
will everyone who has a flash player will be able to see it?
do I need to use a special camera for that? or a special
player?
2. How can I record the live broadcast into the server
directly?
3. How can I add text on the live broadcast screen?[like
announcements, headlines and stuff]
4. How do I make the FMS require a password in order to
broadcast? meanwhile, anyone who knows the IP can use the server to
broadcast whatever he wants.
any help will be greatly appreciated,
TMO.

1) Lots of RAM and a decent Camera, the H.264 is better for
streaming pre recorded movies with a slight buffer, Live Streaming
will be slower.
Minimum FMS 3.0.2 as previous versions do not support H.264
2) FME allows you to stream live to the FMS server and also
record the stream for later viewing. I tend to record the stream to
the vod directory with a pre determined file name, this way I can
then built a link in advanve to allow watchers to view again
immediately.
3)Difficult unless you mess with server side scripts etc.
WebCamMax though will provide this solution.
4) Not sure about that one...................

Live Green Screen Broadcast and Record - Which Software and hardware? DESPERATE

I want to setup a stand (for example in a shopping centre) where I can give the opportunity for people to star in their own movie and they will get a DVD straight after them being filmed.
Below is an example of what I mean:
There is a green screen with a toy car, big enough for a child to sit infront of the screen. A parent pays me for their child to star in their own movie. The child sits in the car for 3 minutes playing with the steering wheel and pretending to be in a race. This 3 minutes is recorded on a video camera, as well as the green screen being chromakeyed out showing the child in a race on a big TV that draws the crowds. Straight afterwards the customer is given a DVD of their movie.
further spec needed:
I want high definition footage for the Movie on DVD
I want to be able to record this footage as it is being shot - 4-5minutes from when the child sits in the car to getting the DVD as to maximise income/hour.
I am wanting to know which software of the Production Premium CS 5.5 software will stream it live to the TV and record it on the DVD on the computer - I know that I can stream it to the TV and use a DVD Recorder to tape whats on the TV, but apparently that is unreliable.

Thanks for the reply Mylenium.
None, plain and simple. You are looking completely in the wrong place. And it's not even a mere software problem. As a minor, you would still need a capture card to stream the camera via HDMI or professional video signals (HD SDI, YCbCr Component etc.) to your computer. It's nothing you can do with any standard graphics card. Depending on what else you require, you would probably need more specific hardware like a NewTek Tricaster or whatever...
Ok. I then will break it up. Is there any Prod Prem cs5.5 software that will live stream the chromakey footage to the TV? Surely there is a way to have a live feed from the camera to the computer without the need for hardware and then software that will stream it out to the TV - Apparently Wirecast can do this - does Adobe not have something similar ? I am going to be building a Computer around the above intended use, so a P2 Card Reader was suggested. The budget is R8000, or $800 for the exerything except the monitor.
That's impossible. Per spec, DVD can only record SD PAL/ NTSC. For HD, you would need a BluRay recorder and that's gonna cost you, especially since for what you have in mind only the more expensive BD-RE will do what you want and due to the strict licensing rules, BD recorders are far and few inbetween and thus expensive...
Mylenium
Thanks Mylenium for the clear reasons for this, I need a quality that is not pixelated to be displayed on a TV at home when the people take their DVD home to view. Suggestions on resolution?
HAs anyone else got any low budget solutions?
Some Context: I am teaching myself everything in order to do this - unemployed and know i can make this work though. I have never been involved in the field before I got this idea so I have great gaps of knowledge here.

Submitting to broadcast and iTunes

This isn't so much a FCP question as it is a video production question, but with specific needs for iTunes.
I'm just finishing my first music video for a record label and they will most likely be submitting it for broadcast and also to iTunes. I overheard another editor discussing the proper way to format a video for iTunes and I was wondering what that was. I think he was talking about the info that runs off the top of the video. Run time, artist, record label and the like.
Can someone give me a quick rundown of what info I need to include, and the timing? Do I need a 2 pop if it's just a Quicktime? Color bars, tone, countdown?

What format is the exHD, HFS+?
Vista prefers NTFS or FAT. So you'd probably need some software that lets Vista read HFS+. Or consolidate it onto a different exHD that is FAT-formatted.

How to publish and record video stream in h.264 format

I'm a fresher. I want to publish and record video stream in h.264 and audio stream in AAC format .
Does flash player support to publish video stream in h.264 format ?
And which version of flash player and FMS could implement this function ?
Thank you very much.

The Flashplayer does not support h264 or AAC publishing. The Flashplayer supports only h.263 (sorenson spark) video, and Nellymoser Asao and Speex audio.
If you want to publish h.264 you'll need to use Flash Media Live Encoder, or a third party encoder.

Time shifting and record live stream

Hellow everyone,
I would like to stream videos for my viewers and them have a abiliti to timeshifting live stream.
Can I use live application for timeshifting? Or I should use livepkgr to do that.
For archive and play on the VOD mode I like to stream live and record at same time. in the livepkgr I see in the stream folder create a stream file with the f4f extention automaticaly whoever in the live application I should call application.record on the FMS to save live stream on the server.
Please advise me the better solution to archive and time shifting.
Many Thanks.

livepkgr application for for HTTP streaming...
f youjust want to stream over rtmp use live application and code to record the stream...recording is pretty simple in AMS just call Stream.get() s.record(...) s.play() where s is the stream which you are recording...
application.onPublish = function(clientObj, streamObj) { trace("recording started..."); var strName = "recorded_" + streamObj.name; var s = Stream.get(strName); if (s == undefined ) return; s.onStatus = function(info) { trace(info.code); } if (!s.record("record")) { s.trace("record failed."); } s.play(streamObj.name, -1, -1, true); }

FMS 3 and Xen Virtualization

Has anyone tried using FMS 3 and Xen in a medium to large
production environment ?
I know that FMS and virtualization is not officially
supported, and that using VMware provides several performance
decreases. But is that also relevant to Xen ?
Xen support an option to activate an independant wallclock,
to remove all clock drifts / jitter.
Since this was one of the major problems with VMware, I would
like to know if there could be additional problems in a virtualized
environment.
Versions,
Linux: 2.6.18 (Debian Xen kernel)
Xen 3.2.0
FMS 3.0.2-r217

DVR is supported from FMS 3.5 and not from FMS 3.
Now coming to the question, yes DVR is done via server-side code (though you can do direct client-side record - but its not preferred way of doing it)
There is no built-in player as such but Adobe does provide ready-to-use solution for DVR which is called dvrcast. You can find dvrcast application on FMS tools page - http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/ . The solution comes with two server-side applications + FLVPlayback component which can be used on client side.

Will I be able to hook up and record from this VCR to my Macintosh which is Intel Core i3- 10.6.8???

I am considering the purchase of an
EyeTV HD DVR for HD Cable and Satellite TV for Macintosh (10021040)
I wish to record segments of VHS tapes for use in Macintosh iMovie
My VCR (GE) has only the standard RCA red, white and yellow sets of three, one set for IN and one set for OUT.
Will I be able to hook up and record from this VCR to my Macintosh which is
Intel Core i3- 10.6.8???
Appreciate your help

Looking at the ElGato web site and the pictures of the unit I would say no.
Now, if the goal is to only capture your old videos I would suggest getting the older Elgato EyeTV Hybrid. This unit has the older composit (Red, White, Yellow) imputs as well as a S-video.
I have this and used it to transfer older VHS tapes and it worked very well with an antenna to get off the air broadcasts.
This older unit may be harder to find but it works like a charm.

Streaming Live and Recording at the same time

Currently I allow users to stream live Audio and Video and I would like to begin recording the Audio/Video at the same time.
The only way I can figure out streaming Live and Recording is to create two NetStreams and connect with the same NetConnection and have one netstream publish "live" and the other netstream publish "record". This just doesn't seem very efficient because it would be streaming the same thing twice to the FMS.
Is this the only way to go about this? or am I going the wrong way with this?

What you want to do is record to FMS. Then use NetStream.Play(filename, -1) to only play live.

FMS 3 and FMS 3.5

Hi Folks...
What is the difference between FMS 3 and FMS 3.5? Is 3.5 a totally new version or just some kind of service upgrade?

DVR is supported from FMS 3.5 and not from FMS 3.
Now coming to the question, yes DVR is done via server-side code (though you can do direct client-side record - but its not preferred way of doing it)

Problem with Adobe Audition 2.0 and recording from a 1212m.

I bought a brand new machine and have be configuring it all week. Everything has been going well, except getting Adobe Audition 2.0 (the new version) to “hear” sound from the 1212m.
The intel 975 motherboard has an integrated HD sound system already on board and I have been able to get adobe audition to recognize it and record from it. This is what I have Windows XP Pro set to as my default sound card.
I installed the 1212m and I have gotten my monitors to work by using the XLR jacks on the monitors to the ¼ inch jacks on the 1212m using a VST (NI’s Kontakt 2) as the audio source. So it works.
What I can’t seem to get to work is getting Adobe Audition to “hear” the sound coming from the 1212m.
Patchmix seems to be working ok. The audio bars jump each time I hit a note on the keyboard.
I have configured Audition by going to Audio Hardware Setup and setting it to EMU ASIO and tried every combination of INPUT and OUTPUT, but when I hit the Record button in Audition it just flat lines..
I was hoping that once the audio made it from the VST though the 1212m and out to the speakers, that getting Audition to record it would be easy, but that hasn’t been the case.
The Intel 955 Extreme Edition and the 975 motherboard are brand new and I’m worried that being on the bleeding edge of technology, that one of the drivers isn’t working correctly and causing me hours of debugging a problem that is unworkable from my end.
Hopefully the problem is just some small stupid thing that I’m doing or failing to do (like normal).
Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks

I'm just saving it into a file in "My documents" on the internal hard drive. It's a computer in the office which has been used my other people before me and I have my own file which I was always able to save Adobe sound files into before, so I don't think it's anything to do with me not being allowed or read-only.
I've also been trying to save it onto USB hard drives. This works when I save it under a different name, but not when I'm just trying to update a file i've been working on. Basically I have to create a new file everytime I add something, so like "myaudit1", "myaudit2", "myaudit3" etc etc, even though it's the same piece of work just updated.
Hope that makes sense!

Can Express 9 play and record multiple instruments at the same time?

I have logic express 9 and was told with my interface that I can play and record different instruments at the same time on Express 9. Is this true because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how.

Hi,
to record multiple Inputs at a time, open up the appropriate number of audio tracks. Now for each track, select the correct Input in the Channelstrip.
Now, ARM all these tracks for recording by clicking the little red R in the track header or channelstrip. Now if you hit record, all these tracks should record simultaneously their respective inputs.
All other existing tracks should playback while recording.

How do you watch and record a live h.264 stream at the same time using fmis and FMLE?

I've read all the similar post but could not find a solution that actually works, and please no "just use the dvr or record on the FMLE suggestions" as neither will work for me.
Some posts I've read suggest naming the stream in the FMLE to something like mp4:mystream.mp4 or mp4:mystream.f4v but then you can no longer view the stream, and according my the admin console the stream will not even publish using this syntax.
I can view the published stream if I name the FMLE stream to something like mystream.mp4 or just mystream, but then it doesn't record at all or records as a FLV file depending on how I code the main.asc file.
Here's one version of my main.asc, this one correctly publishes the live stream after the client triggers the joinStreams function but will not record it.
application.onConnect = function (client, userType)
    trace("userType is " + userType);
    this.acceptConnection(client);
    //this.clientCount++;
    client.joinStreams = function (channel)
        trace("joinStreams on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play("hdvideo/" + channel, -1, -1);
        liveVid.record("append");
    client.clearStream = function (channel)
        trace("clearStream on channel " + channel);
        liveVid = Stream.get("livevideo/" + channel + ".mp4");
        liveVid.play(false);
        delete liveVid;
I've been working on this for 48 hours straight, please advise.

I think lets keep it simple, will explain what you have for watching live streams and recorded streams
Live Publish and Play:
     FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: livestream
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: livestream
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play("livestream",-1,-1,true)
Playing VOD H.264 file:
     Subscriber settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
          Stream name: if file name is "sample", use "mp4:sample", if file name is sample.f4v, use "mp4:sample.f4v"
          Mode: "record" ( i.e. ns.play("mp4:sample.f4v",0,-1,true)
For DVR (Record-in-progress stream)
If you are using FMLE and want to use "Record" option of FMLE then you need to have to dvrcast_origin application and subscrier needs to FLVPlayback 2.5 component
If you want to use that option, do let me know i will give details later.
For now we will use simple server-side code and FMLE as publisher.
main.asc of "myApp"
application.onPublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record();
application.onUnpublish = function(myclient,mystream){
     mystream.record(false);
FMLE Settings:
Video Codec: H.264
Audio Codec:<any of your choice>
Server URI : Please put your server uri with application name here , for example i will use "rtmp://myServer/myApp"
Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
    Subscriber Settings:
          Server URI : "rtmp://myServer/myApp"          Stream name: mp4:mydvrstream.f4v
          Mode: "live" ( i.e. ns.play(" mp4:mydvrstream.f4v",0,-1,true)
Try out above and let me know if that works or does not work for you.
