FMS on a Mac
Has anyone ever managed to get FMS running on a mac OSX (not in a VM)?
Since FMS is not there on Mac, I guess you meant "Streaming to FMS from Mac".
If that is correct then you can try Flash Media Live encoder which is available for free download here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/ right now for windows platform only.
Also from this post http://blogs.adobe.com/flashmedia/2009/11/flash_media_live_encoder_31_fo.html looks like we will be getting Mac version of Flash Media Live encoder very soon.

We use a big infrastructure on OS X Server, and actually we
have some apps developed with FMS 2 run on a little test windows
server. I hope we will be able to install FMS 3 on OS X Server to
connect FMS apps to SSO, LDAP, SAN, to improve disponibility and
security of services. If not, we begin to develop on RED 5 whichis
available on simply tomcat server which run on OS X. But I think
there are no reason that Adobe will not deliver OS X version of FMS
3 whereas a linux exists.
Can you tell us more about this support ?
Thanks a lot.
ChrisI Really wish they did have support for Mac OS X, perhaps its
possible somehow, but according to current documentation even RHEL
5 is not supported but RHEL 4 is. Sure you can try to put FMS on
RHEL 5 but there are no guuarantees that it will function properly,
if you actually look at the specs on the flash media server page,
this is only supporting Windows and RHEL 4, so ya looks like they
are not adding any new additional platforms even though it would be
awesome if they did add RHEL 5 and MAC OS X, who knows maybe in an
update if they receive enough requests they might do it. -
How to get MAC ADDRESS in mais.asc using FMS
Hello,
i need to get the Mac Address of every machine connected to my fms, is that possible with FMS?
THXIt's also available in System Information, under the Network section.
Hold down option and select System Information from the Apple menu.
Select Network, then the particular service type: Airport, Ethernet, Firewire
Scroll down till you see MAC Address:
You can also reveal it in the Terminal with ifconfig. en0 is usually ethernet, en1 is Airport, but that depends on your configuration. -

Sorry I"m using 10.3.9 -
I downloaded and installed Flash Media Development Server and installed it on a Windows XP machine and have it running, but I've run into a few questions/issues.
1) I can login to Manage the Servers, change the server name and input a server address ( localhost ). I save the changes and close the admin console. Then when I return to the admin console the server name is back to the original "Server 1" and the server address field is blank. Is this an FMS Development version lockout feature or is there something else wrong?
2) We are a mostly Mac based shop, meaning all my Adobe programs, Flash et al., are on a Mac. Can I set up the FMS Dev to be accessed from my local network? Will localhost do this, or an IP address?
Thanks...... I
don't know what you mean by gcc, make, Xcode, and
IDE. I'm taking a C++ course in college, I'm not
familiar with any programming language anyway, and
I've been told that I need a Dev compiler. Can you
be more clear as to the things I have to download so
that I can write and compile programs on my
PowerBook.....
To be able to write and compile programs on your PowerBook you should install the developer tools from your original OS X 10.4 disks. They don't get installed by default, you'll have to go back to the orignal disks and install them separately.
These tools contain a compiler for c++ (called gcc) and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is called Xcode. These tools are the Mac equivalent of the "Dev C++" tools you were told that you need. An IDE is a program that makes it easy to manage a programming project without having to use a terminal window on a Mac or a DOS prompt on Windows.
Here's a web tutorial on Xcode to get you up and running:

FileMaker Server problem on Mac Mini Server - Mac Mini won't boot
I just installed a brand new Mac Mini Server today, and also FileMaker Server 11. A first-timer for both Mac OS X Server and FileMaker Server, I made an error as explained below, and right now I don't know how to get back on track with the system. It won't boot.
So, how did this happen?
At first everything was proceeding according to plan. I configured the pre-installed Mac OS X Server on the Mac Mini with users, groups and services. This was tested from clients and this seemed to work just fine. Then I installed and configured FileMaker Server. This was also tested from a client, and the example database that came with FMS was served up just fine.
The problem arose when I tried to install my existing FileMaker databases. I simply checked to see where in the file system the example database was located, and then copied my old databases to that location (I think it was Library > FileMaker Server > Data > Databases or something close to it - can't check it now...). I had the FileMaker Server Admin Console running, and hit the Refresh button hoping that this would make FileMaker Server find the databases.
This was my first error. I should have read ahead in the instructions to see that one is supposed to use an Upload Database assistant instead...
What happened when I hit refresh was that the FileMaker Server Admin Console became completely unresponsive with a spinning ball as cursor. I left it for about an hour hoping it would terminate, but gave up and tried to shut it down. It wouldn't close, so I force quit it from the Finder. Then I tried to shut down FileMaker Server, but I needed to force quit this as well. After this I thought it would be best to reboot the Mac Mini, so I shut it down, but now it won't even boot, it just stays on the screen with the spinning wheel for ever!
I have tried all the keyboard options while booting, but nothing seems to help. In safe mode, the grey progress bar just grows to about one third, then disappears and leaves the eternally spinning wheel.
The server version of the Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive, only two internal hard drives. I tried to reinstall from scratch using the optical drive on another Mac on the network. The startup disk appeared when I tried to boot the Mac Mini holding down the option key, and after about 20 minutes or so of the spinning wheel I could actually access the discs. I started by running Disk Utility to check disk permissions. There were a lot of repairs concerning permissions and groups, especially on "Library". It said "ACL differs on Library", I don't know what this is but this was repaired. I then ran Repair Disk. The volume appeared to be OK.
When I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Server however, this failed with the message
"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed. Mac OS X Server couldn't be installed on this disk." I don't know how this can be, but I may have run software update earlier today.
What should I try next? Should I erase the primary HD and try to install again? Or should I install the system software on the secondary HD? Or should I just try to reboot as is in the hope that the disk permission repairs did the trick...?
Any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated!Hello there, I came across your post when browsing the forum for passive advice. I am in the same boat as you and am a first timer for both of these tools. I work for a company who now needs to expand its network and database capabilities. I have been assigned this task and these are the tools i have opted for. I have not yet purchased them and i am pleased to find someone who has my desired setup. Could you please advise on the simplicity of the setup and whether an advanced knowledge is required.
I want to use it in a mixed operating system environment. Is this possible?

Apache not working with FMS 4.5 on Windows 2008
FMS 4.5.1 Windows 2008 SP2 (64bit).
I've searched everywhere for a possible solution to this, so my apologies if this has been asked before and my thanks for any potential help that anyone can offer to help resolve this.
We are deploying Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.1 on a new server but Apache does not work (does not serve html files or stream Quicktime H.264 files).
Assorted Problems & Error messages:
1. The webroot/index.html page loads locally, but the HLS/HDS streams result in a 2032 error.
2. The webroot/index.html page does not load from external locations:
http://63.116.232.5/index.html (does not load externally).
http://63.116.232.6/index.html (our old server, FMS 4.0 and Windows 2003). Everything on this server works, the 2 major differences being that it is running FMS 4.x on Windows 2003.
Some RTMP streaming works externally and internally (f4v files):
http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:sample1_1 50kbps.f4v
FMS does not stream Quicktime H.264 files even though f4v files work.
New server (does not work): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:Basketbal l.mov
(f4v works): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:sample1_1 50kbps.f4v
Old server (Quicktime/H.264 file works): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Basketbal l.mov
Apache does not serve Quicktime/H.264 files: I made sure that Apache had all of the correct mime types specified.
Error messages and attempted solutions:
Apache's erro_log file:
a. httpd.exe: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
2. FMS master.log file
a. FMSHttpd -k start returned 1:
Solutions: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName
1a: Edited httpd.conf file to include ServerName 63.116.232.5
1b: The presence of this error message also indicates that Apache httpd was unable to obtain a fully-qualified hostname by doing a reverse lookup on your server's IP address.
In order for the server to accept external connections a reverse DNS lookup needs to be created. I created a reverse DNS lookup and edited the /etc/hosts file to include the IPaddress, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), shortname.
This is the format suggested by the article:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost foo.example.com
Running the nbtstat -a 63.116.232.5 command on the machine results in the following:
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<00> UNIQUE Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<00> GROUP Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1C> GROUP Registered
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<20> UNIQUE Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1B> UNIQUE Registered
So the FQDN = WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
I edited the /etc/hosts to the following (with versions using the local host ip 127.0.0.1 and the external ip address, IPv4 is being used):
63.116.232.5 WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I've also read Adobe's port configuration articles and changed the ports that Apache and FMS use as specified in the conf/fms.ini file, but nothing has worked so far. I restored everything to the original settings until I can find out exactly how to fix this.
Thank you.Ms. Apurva ,
I changed the files back as you suggested (the failure was occuring with the default settings) and our admin assured me yesterday that the ports that I inquired about were open. I'll ask him again.
The telenet command for both ports 80 and 1935 result in Connect failed for me. I'll check Windows Firewall (turned off) and McAfee to see if there is anything there blocking ports.
Confirm that external connections are blocked: 63.116.232.5/index.html (does not open outside of localhost). No problem accessing with our old server (63.116.232.6/index.html).
I ran this command in nmap and here are the results (11 ports closed): nmap 63.116.232.5 -Pn80

ConnectionError with out-of-the-box fms 3.0.1
hi,
we just installed the newest version of fms on debian, but we
can't get h.264 vod to work.
the setup is default, and we used vodtest.swf from samples /
applications to stream the sample videos in applications/vod/media.
sample.flv and AdobeBand_640.flv works great (VP6 codec).
AdobeBand_300K_H264.mp4, AdobeBand_800K_H264.mp4 etc. all
fail with a "connectionError".
I tested this with 9.0.124 standalone & plugin and
9.0.115 standalone & plugin, on both windows xp and mac os x
10.5.2, everywhere the same problem.
thanks for any ideas,
kobenflash layer version before 9.0.115 --- No H.264
9.0.115 --- plays with FMS 3.0
9.0.124 or later will play with FMS 3.0.1 -- free update.
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html
Got it from release notes :
"1688970
A media streaming security vulnerability was fixed in both
Flash Player and Flash Media Server. As a result, Flash Media
Interactive Server 3 and Flash Media Streaming Server 3 customers
who are streaming H.264 content to a version of Flash Player later
than version 9.0.115.0 will need to upgrade their server to version
3.0.1" -
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.

Business IT SolutionsHi 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"

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.

Flash Player 10.1.102.64 for Mac have Problem
I am using Mac OS 10.6.5. And currently my flash player updated to 10.1.102.64.
After the update I got problem. The flash player can not display video streaming which have a cropped size.
for example, I stream a live video through FMS using normal video size for dimension 16:9 is 640 x 360 is have no problem.
But if I cropped the streaming size, for example into 640 x 352, then the video won't displayed. But it displayed without problem if using previous version (ie: standalone debuger Version 10.1.52.14 ) or using 10.1.102.64 in windows.
Please advise if someone else having the same problem.
--- updated
I tried change all my live video streaming using 640x360. The problem now become intermittent. Sometimes I can view the video, but sometimes also not displayed. At the same time, I tried using version 10.1.52.14, always can view the video without problem.Hi Cija, pull it back out & mount the DMG & use the Installer, but first uninstall any previous version...
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

Stream only playing sound (no video) in latest Mac browsers?
I built an app using SMP 1.6.274 inside Flex Hero targeting Flash 10.1.102.64.
The app ran fine in an OSX 10.6.7 running Firefox 3.4, but not Safari 5.05 or Chrome 11.0.696.65 on a Mac: the stream plays only sound and shows no video.
I installed the latest version of Flash Player 10.2, on the chance that there was a conflict with the older Flash Player and the newer Chrome and Safari browsers, but that didn't solve the issue. I then downloaded Firefox 4.0, and it also plays only the sound.
So I tried to install Flex 4.5.20967, the latest build and target Flash Player 10.2, but ran into a number of problems (mainly losing the connection to the spark.components.Application), so rebuilt the application back around Flex Hero, but still have no video on all three Mac browsers.
I verified that everything is working fine from the FMS server by running older players.
I am not sure what else to do at this point and am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.With Flash Player 10.2 the new StageVideo API became available. Using this new API enables hardware accelerated video rendering, boosting video performance and reducing CPU usage.
In the latest OSMF builds (starting with the OSMF 1.6 Sprint 1 build) support for the StageVideo is enabled by default.
What you've experienced it's a known limitation of using OSMF or SMP in a Flex application, where the video is shown behind all the Flex components.
To make your video visible, you have to set backgroundAlpha=”0″ for your mx:Application or other flex containers of your video.
Alternatively, if you don't want the performance boost you get from using StageVideo, you can disable it and your app should work as expected.
Here's how you do that: OSMFSettings.enableStageVideo = false;
As for your latest post, Chrome has it own version of Flash Player bundled with the browser and it manages the updates by itself.
I suspect you still have 10.2 installed in chrome. Use Chrome to visit this link to learn what version of Flash Player it's using: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
I hope this helps! -
Some .mp4 (h.264) files will not stream using fms!
Hi!
I've made several mp4 file using Camtasia for Mac. No matter what settings or player I use the files won't play. Encoding them from Camtasia Windows version works just fine. I assumed this was a question for Camtasia/Techsmith but they're saying there is nothing wrong with the h.264 files Camtasia for mac is encoding and says this is an Adobe/FMS issue.
I'm using the latest Camtasia version and FMS 3.5. I've used several different players and they all play mp4 but not the ones encoded in Camtasia for mac.
What might be the problem and how do I solve it. I need to be able to encode from both the Camtasia Mac and Windows version.
ThanksHi,
Would it be possible for you to install the FMS 3.5.6 update (free maintenance update) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashmediaserver/downloads_updaters.html and check if the mp4 files play on that.
We could check this as a first step.
Thanks
Mamata -
I have a number of video and audio files that I want placed
on my site. My web designer know how to generate swf and flv files
but doesn't know any scripting or coding.
I came across FMS which seems to be the answer to everything
so I downloaded and installed it on a Windows server. I've been
trying for 3 days to get it to work.
All documentation deals with scripting on server or client.
Is there a beginner's guide? As I said: I want to put the flv
file in a folder and stream it to web clients. I don't want a live
stream, interactive stuff, webcam or such. Just stream a simple
file.
Any help would be appreciated.First of all you need to have a VPN server to connect to.
Do you want to connect to an existing VPN server or run a VPN server on your mac?
I will assume you want to vpn from your iphone back to your mac at home.
There is a VPN server included with leopard however there is only a GUI for it in Leopard Server.
If you dont have Leopard Server you can use iVPN
Then you need to configure your router to allow vpn traffic into your network.
What is the make and model of your router?
here is a list of well known ports used by Apple Software products.
It list the ports you need to open on your router for VPN and l2TP.
You need to give your mac a fixed IP address. Then forward the relevant ports from your router to the IP address of your mac.
Then if your ISP does not give you a static Public IP address you need to get a dynamic domain name from http://dyndns.com
regarding a vpn client for your iphone there are dozens available from the App store I cant recommend one as I have not fully evaluated any of them.
However browse the iphone forum iphone networking -
Liev streaming on ios using FMS
Dear All,
I have made an application using cs5.5 and java with struts2 for live streaming through FMS.
Architecture is like:
Flash player makes get stream from camera and then transfer stream over FMS. And this flash player component is embedded in html page.
Flash player contains code for all work flow like making connectivity with FMS interacting user via javascript and capturing live stream from camera. This application works well on IE, mozilla.
But when it comes to woking on ios it fails as ios, as IOS does not support flash player. I have gone through many solution provided on different forums, I get there to use Adobe air with making connection using http live streaming protocol and then pakaging the solution for ios. But as per my point of view this would work as an apps for ios rather than browser based application as in my previous case. can anyone suggest me alternate solution to launch live video streaming solution to work on ios on its browser. If I am wrong in perception of working phenomenon of FMS with ios via flash player or adobe air then also please suggest.
Thanks
Nitesh KumarI realize that using JW player might not be the exact solution that you are looking for (sounds like you're trying to do something customized for a particular need), but using JW player can help you test your FMS set-up to make sure everything is working. We've used JW player to stream multi-bit rate live events to both Flash and iOS devices at the same time.
> So how can we make connectionn with FMS and publish stream through jwplayer.
Step 1: Set up Flash Live Media Encoder and create the live streaming manifest files for JW player. These instructions are taken from this page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd6 09-52e437a812a3725dfa0-8000.html
FMS live Streaming instructions:
Install Flash Media Encoder (FMLE) on the encoding computer (the computer what will be encoding the live stream): http://www.adobe.com/eeurope/products/flash-media-encoder.html
Open the Flash Media Live Encoder rootinstall\conf\config.xml file in a text editor.
Windows is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2
Mac OS is Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe:Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2.
rootinstall\conf\config.xml i. Set the tag //flashmedialiveencoder_config/mbrconfig/streamsynchronization/enable to true
Save the file.
Open FMLE: single bitrate stream.
Format: Click on wrench and change to appropriate settings: Profile (main), Level 4.1 Keyframes 4 or a multiple of <FragmentDuration> in the applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/Event.xml file. The default value of <FragmentDuration> is 4000 milliseconds.
FMS URL: rtmp://localhost/livepkgr
Stream: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record
i. IMPORTANT: &adbe-record-mode=record query is needed to avoid the problems discussed in the threads below.
ii. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959974
iii. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4311876
iv. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981286?tstart=0
Click Start.
Test streaming: http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/:
i. http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
ii. iPad: http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.m3u8
Publish and play live multi-bitrate streams over HTTP
Live multi-bitrate streams:
Edit rootinstall\conf\config.xml file (step 2 above) on the FMLE computer.
On the streaming server: go to FMS 4.5/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent
a. Remove the Manifest.xml file from the liveevent folder or rename it.
b. Browse to rootinstall/applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent and edit the Event.xml file to look like the following:
<Event>
<EventID>liveevent</EventID>
<Recording>
<FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration> <SegmentDuration>16000</SegmentDuration> <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
3. Create the f4m and m3u8 manifest files: NOTE: JW player needs a .smil file, not an f4m manifest.
a. On the FMS 4.5 computer, open rootinstall/tools/f4mconfig/configurator/f4mconfig.html in a browser.
b. F4M manifest file:
Stream uri: livestream1.f4m 150kbps, livestream2.f4m 500kbps, livestream3.f4m 700kbps.
Base uri: http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent (replace localhost with FMS internal/external IP address).
save the file as liveevent.f4m to rootinstall/webroot or on the webserver.
JW Player does not support f4m files. Must use a smil file for this.
c. m3u8 manifest file: Open rootinstall/tools/f4mconfig/configurator/f4mconfig.html in a browser.
http:///hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8 150kbps
http:///hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream2.m3u8 500kbps
http:///hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream3.m3u8 700kbps
Save file as liveevent.m3u8:
#EXTM3U #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=150000
http:// localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=500000
http:// localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream2.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=700000
http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream3.m3u8
4. Publish live streams to FMS:
a. Start FMLE.
b. Click the wrench next to Format, Open Advanced Encoder Settings, set Keyframe frequency to 4 seconds.This value matches the <FragmentDuration> value in the applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/Event.xml file. The <FragmentDuration> value is in milliseconds.
c. FMS URL field: rtmp://localhost/livepkgr
d. Stream field: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent OR livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record Change liveevent to whatever name you want (i.e. Test)
Flash Media Live Encoder uses the variable %i to create multiple stream names: livestream1, livestream2, livestream3
To use another encoder, provide your own unique stream names, for example, livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent, livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent.
PUBLISH URL: rtmp://localhost/livepkgr/livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent
IMPORTANT: use the following query parameter: &adbe-record-mode=record
5. Test live streams:
a. Flash:
Open rootinstall/samples/videoPlayer
In Video Source, enter the following: http://localhost/liveevent.f4m
b. iOS: Open Safari.
Open http://localhost/liveevent.m3u8
Once you create the live streams and the smil and .m3u8 manifest files following the steps described above, set up a test page using JW player (see their documentation and download the files referred to below from their page).
This is the basic set-up that we use to stream live multibitrate live events (using a smil and m3u8 manifest file created above):
1. Use JW with javascript file: put <script type='text/javascript' src='jwplayer/jwplayer.js'></script>in the <head> section of the page. I've renamed the javascript file jwplayer.js (look in the JW folder to find the appropriate js file).
2. Embed the player into the page: put the following code in the <body> of the page:
<div id="jwplayer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer('jwplayer').setup({
'autostart': false,
sources: [
{ 'file': "Manifests/liveevent.smil"},
{ 'file': "Manifests/liveevent.m3u8"}
rtmp: {
'bufferlength': 5
'width': "640",
'height': "480",
'image': "Splash/live-poster.png",
'primary': "flash",
'stretching': 'exactfit'
</script>
Sample .m3u8 manifest file: (replace localhost with your ip, Test with whatever you named the stream in FMLE).
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=200000
http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/Test/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=400000
http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/Test/livestream1.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=800000
http://localhost/hls-live/livepkgr/_definst_/Test/livestream1.m3u8
Sample .smil file:
<smil>
<head>
<meta base="rtmp://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/Test/"/>
</head>
<body>
<switch>
<video src="livestream1.f4m" system-bitrate="200000" />
<video src="livestream2.f4m" system-bitrate="400000" />
<video src="livestream3.f4m" system-bitrate="800000" />
</switch>
</body>
</smil>
You have to follow Adobe's FMLE instructions (linked above) and the JW documentation to get this to work.

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,
Cc
