FMS with Flash Access

Hi all,
Are there any way that Flash Media Server isn't able to pass metadata of F4V file into the stream (RTMP) if F4V file was encrypted with Flash Access?

Hi,
I am not able to comprehend your question. Can you please elaborate what are you trying to achieve?
Thanks,
Abhishek

    flash access support flash media Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 (p2p) ?

    Hi,
    Flash Access will work delivered via FMS over RTMP.
    Flash Access should work over an RTMFP client-server connection -- by default it's exactly the same as RTMP as far as functionality, unless you're in "live unbuffered" mode, which you probably wouldn't be for a client-server streaming scenario with Flash Access protection.
    However, if you mean "P2P multicast", then that is not a supported scenario.
    cheers,

    How can I get my Live HDS streams encrypted with FAXS v2 working?
    Thanks in advance!

    For multiple streams at event level, you need to have multiple enteries in the manifest.xml under livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent/Manifest. xml as so :
    <manifest xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/f4m/1.0">
      <media streamId="livestream1" bitrate="100" />
      <media streamId="livestream2" bitrate="200" />
      <media streamId="livestream3" bitrate="350" />
    </manifest>
    For this manifest you'll typically be publishing the stream as livestream%i?adbe-live-even=liveevent via FMLE.
    For playback you need to use URL as : http://<server-ip>/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent.f4m
    Hope this helps.

  • Android AIR with DRM Flash Access 3 (workflow DRM client side) ? HELP

    Hello,
    I'm trying  to manage DRM encryption for video with Flash Access 3.0 on Air for Android (or mobile device profile). I looked around and haven't found any awnser so far.
    I know that Flash Player on Android devices is not supported by Adobe Flash Access, but it seems a bit different on Android AIR application, but where there is some point that I don't understand and I don't find any answer or exemples.
    How to manage the DRM API workflow for Android AIR with Framework AIR?
    Until now, i made a custom AS3 video playback (like StobeMediaPlayback), and i am trying to play:
    an encrypted video ->           http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/anonymous.f4v  (encrypted) and its metadata http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/anonymous.f4v.metadata 
    and a no encrypted video --> http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/unencrypted.f4v on Android device with AIR framework.
    What I understand in accordance what i found this this forum, there are some differents workfows to manage DRM :
    #1 - FMRMS (Flash Media Rights Management Server) before Flash Access :
         -NetStream.play()
         -NetStream.authenticate()
    Adobe said tha that the workflow above is no longer recomanded, as we have Flash Access now
    #2 - Flash Access for (Flash Player  or AIR desktop):
    (without token authentication) anonymous
    (with token authentication)
      1. Get drm metadata
      2. Create DRMContentData class from drm metadata
      3. DRMManager.loadVoucher()
      4. NetStream.play()
      1. Get drm metadata
      2. Create DRMContentData class from drm metadata
      3. Identify from metadata that this video requires authentication
      4. Prompt user for credentials and call DRMManager.authenticate()
      5  DRMManager.loadVoucher()
      6. NetStream.play()
    more info : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ce3.html
    Both case use DRMManager class in which you can use loadVoucher to apply the DRMContentData object from a DRM-protected media file
    #3 - Flash Access 3.0 for (AIR 3.2 mobile device):
    But in AIR environnement for mobile device, I don't found any informations toward a workflow for DRM Flash Access. The official documention say that the DRMManager class "it is not supported on mobile devices. You can test for support at run time using the DRMManager.isSupported property" (source:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/drm/DRMManage r.html  ). For now, when I test my player DRMManager.isSupported, the return is "false".
    Is there a way to manage a DRM player for AIR mobile without DRMManager class  ? What is the right workfow for this? Or maybe, I mistaken something. I think some people have succeed with DRM implemtnation on AIR mobile...
    Thanks in advance

  • Ubuntu 11.10, Flash Access and DRM

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to play a video download I purchased at a British video-on-demand service called Digital Theatre. The service uses a player which is an AIR application:
    http://www.digitaltheatre.com/desktop-player
    DigitalTheatre uses DRM with Flash Access.
    I have Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and flash plugin 11. I successfully installed both the latest available Adobe Air version for Linux as well as the player. For Flash Access support, I followed the findings reported in the last post in this thread: 
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4049620
    The adobe-flashplugin package and HAL are installed (I also tried the flashplugin-installer from Ubuntu repositories). The test video mentioned in the first post of the thread works fine, and DRM events show no errors. However, when attempting to play the video purchase I get "Unfortunately the playback has failed. You are not authorised to view this production". I can't see anything informative in the Adobe Air install log, and running the player from command line gives no data. Previously I had Arch Linux installed, and there in command line I saw DRM error id 3344.
    Attempting to launch the f4v file of the purchase in Firefox, it complains that the following two plugins are missing (and cannot be found in the search):
    video/x-gst-fourcc-encv decoder
    audio/x-gst-fourcc-enca decoder
    I have a 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10 on my netbook, the same version of flashplugin and with HAL installed, and there I can play the video purchase without problem. This would indicate that it's a 64 bit issue, but I'm puzzled as to why it is not working on my 64 bit machine, since the writer in the above thread apparently was able to solve the problem with HAL and adobe-flashplugin and since I can play the test video just fine.

    Yes, I have done as instructed. Flash version is 11.1.102.55. I had tried deleting the contents of the NativeCache before. No change.
    I am noting that the test player in http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/SVP/SampleVideoPlayer_FP.html# with test video http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/anonymous.f4v also gives the error #3344 but then upates the drm module and the voucher files. However, for whatever reason, the player is unable to update them either in Ubuntu 11.10 or Arch Linux. 
    For further info, in Arch Linux the player shows "Unfortunately the playback has failed. You are not authorise to view this production" and in command line I see the following:
    DRMVideoPlayer preloadEmbeddedData(file:///home/maria/Digital%20Theatre/Library/f2821d4a-f1c8-457e-b8b5- 0bd740c2006d.f4v)
    PlaybackScreenMediator showBuffering()
    PlaybackScreen showBuffering()
    DRMVideoPlayer onEvent() drmError by NetStream
    DRMVideoPlayer Netstream DRM Error Event: drmee.errorID: 3344
    DRMVideoPlayer Playback failed You are not authorised to view this production
    PlaybackScreen onEvent(error)
    Occasionally, the player only shows "Checking DRM license", with the same as above in command line but continuing with:
    DRMVideoPlayer onPlayStatus()
    DRMVideoPlayer onPlayStatus no drm restrictions
    DRMVideoPlayer setupVideo()
    DRMVideoPlayer setVolume(1)
    DRMVideoPlayer play()
    PlaybackScreen onEvent(stateChange)
    VideoControls setPlaying()
    PlaybackScreen clearFeedback()
    The video does not play this time either, however.

  • Available HTTP delivery options for Flash Access encrypted content

    Dear colleagues,
    Could you please clarify available HTTP delivery options for Flash Access encrypted content.
    Standard HTTP DS scheme with Apache web server getting chunks of video from segmented with f4fpackager file.
    HTTP Progressive Download of encrypted with Flash Access file (non segmented).
    Is it possible to use byte range delivery in this case in order to start playback from custom position (seek)?
    Are there any pitfalls in this case? Is it required to make encryption blocks aligned with keyframe intervals or something like that?

    Thanks for your response, seems though that only the encrypted videos appear to have a problem because when I tried some un-encrypted videos (again from adobe http://drmtest.adobe.com/content/unencrypted/Indesign.f4v ) it played fine.
    Maybe is has something to do with the decryption process and the hardware of the mobile phone after all.
    Again thanks for your response.

  • Flash Access Packager with Bridges to Rhozet Carbon (Win) and Telestream Episode Pro (OSX)

    Hi guys,
    i develope in the last month a full automate packager for flash access 2.0, written in AIR.
    I used AIR for the GUI and native process for communication with the jar fp access packager.
    I was impressed how fast i can develope a GUI for our customer with the latest flash builder. The hard work was to communicate with encoders like rhozet carbon coder on windows and episode on OSX.
    I first thought that i need about 2 days for a stable watch folder function, but if you want toDo a stable watch folder with error and retry managment it can steal  you maybe more then 2 weeks of your lifetime for developing.
    anyway, i record 2 tutorials and i would like to share how to build your DRM pipelines with other encoders or media assets management. The very interesting part is that it seems to possible to pack h.264 encrypted content into .flv. I think some of you know what this means. I got some examples ready, but need to proof more the flv specs if we transmux everyting right.

  • How to implement Adobe Flash Access functionality in FMS

But i am not able to understand from where to download Adobe Flash Access and what to do to get the adobe access software.

  • Flash acces with flash media serwer

    there is any sample/manual how to connect flash access with flash media serwer ?

    Currently, there is no document explaining Flash Access interaction with FMS. Also, FMS and FAXS do not communicate. The client communicates with both.
    For Video-On-Demand (VOD) assets, they are encrypted with a license and policy. The player connects to FMS to start streaming the file, once the player starts the playback, the policy kicks in, and then the player contacts FAXS using the licensing info in the file. So the player communicates with both FMS and FAXS – the servers don’t communicate with each other.
    So FAXS (and FMRMS, which is what version 1.x was called) only worked for the VOD case. Now with FAXS 2.0 for Protected Streaming you can use DRM for both Live and VOD HTTP streaming cases – but not for Live RTMP streaming. Here’s the link for the Protected Streaming docs: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashaccess/pdfs/FAXS_3_0_ProtectedStreaming.pdf
    Now with FMS 4.5, there is protected HTTP Streaming for Flash (PHDS) and iOS (PHLS). To configure PHDS/PHLS, you provide the DRM protection (w/SWF Verification support) without requiring the license server:

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • Problem with Flash 10 in Linux

    I'm having an issue with Flash 10.0 r12 on a linux machine
    through Firefox 3.0.3. I'm unable to access the settings menu on
    some sites such as Stickam.com. The video also doesn't work even
    though it appears that the cam gets initialized.

    Yo Figneutron,
    As I told you in your other post (but I'll do it again for other users):
    The libflashplayer.so goes into the /home/<username>/.mozilla/plugins directory
    After that, restart Firefox and off ya go......Back to XP, because Flash is still not working with Linux It's still choppy and fullscreen hangs even more.

  • Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
    Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
    IE 8.0.6001.18702
    Flash Player 10,1,53,64
    HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
    So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
    It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
    Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
    This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
    So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes.
    Victory is mine.
    VICTORY IS MINE!!!
    Solution:
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
    Set
    AVHardwareDisable=1
    to:
    AVHardwareDisable=0
    Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
    I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
    I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
    Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

  • Issues with flash and other adobe products.

    Ok, so i've been using flash player for quite a number of years now aswell as other products like acrobat reader when i used windows, over the years flash player has developed into a totally inneffecient and almost unusable product. on top of the security issues of past with flash player and especially acrobat reader, with remote code execution vulnerabilities, i have, as have thousands of others noticed a very large decrease in performance with flash.
    i should note that a year or two ago, i could play HD flash content no problem, both 720 and 1080 resolutions, full screen without any issue. i would expect it to take up a decent portion of cpu cycles, which it did, i use to be able to run flash content at 720 with about 30 - 50% cpu usage. now it seems with flash 10 my AMD Athlon 4000+ struggles to play even 720 videos. My cpu is by no means a top performer, it is however capable of handling somewhere in the region of a billion instructions per second. for video content to require that amount of data to be handled is rediculous.
    HD content played back on my local machine using a different codec, my cpu barely even uses 5 - 10% cpu time, not only that, these videos have roughly about the same compression rates as flash videos. i just don't understand how flash can require so much resources without taking into account innefficient and bloated code.
    today i tried to access a web page that required flash content to display images, it was not a video, but an image database, going from one page to the next took somewhere in the region of 20 - 30 seconds, while my cpu maxed out at 100% and firefox stopped responding, which is totally unnacceptable.
    it wouldn't normally be a problem if there were good alternatives, but there aren't any, im stuck with this piece of crap software if i want to view any flash content. the only real alternative is to upgrade, which i am not prepared to do if the next version of flash is just going to push those boundries even further for features i don't need.
    my proposal is to:
    1. rewrite the code with effeciency rather than new features in mind, if that means getting able programmers in, then so be it.
    2. make flash modulous, where the basic package provides capabilties to play flash content and separate plugins to provide for all the individual unnecessary features that are not required for basic flash content. surely you can build a package that provides all those plugins for regular users and a basic package + optional plugins for those who know what they want or need.
    it really makes no sense why such a large corporation with all this experience to provide a product that quite simply.. sucks, well it does actually, either your programmers are incapable of creating a stable, efficient product or you are purposly trying to push hardware upgrades onto people. lets not forget that flash content is huge business on the web, adobe flash player has a strangle hold on that market, it would be naive to think that hardware vendors have not approached adobe with specifications to further make the money wheel go round.
    sort it out, because i for one, am in the process of completely removing my dependancy on adobe flash, if the right product comes along, others will do to, in droves. it's a bubble that is going to burst and there is no way back when you have millions of lines of quite frankly, amateurish code.

    Eric,
    The GTX 650 would be priced slightly higher than the GT 640 - and then, the OP would have to "settle" for only 1GB of graphics RAM instead of 2GB. The GTX 650 is currently not available with 2GB of RAM.
    Both the GT 640 and the GTX 650 are based on the same GPU - the GK107, with 384 CUDA cores. The two major differences are that the GK107 on the GTX 650 is clocked higher than the one on the GT 640, and that the GTX 650 has almost triple the memory bandwidth of the GT 640 (80 GB/s versus 28.8 GB/s).

    We have been purchased a training course made with Flash. When we received the course (a SWF file with external files inside a "data" directory, images, videos, etc), we realized that it was necessary to explicity give permissions to Flash Player to access the content in the CD drive. We think that is not a good idea to distribute a CD where the user have to do "extrange things" to make it work.
    So, we talked with the developer and he sent us an .EXE file with the course, that obiously works fine (al the content in the CD is readed without user interaction), but it only works in Windows machines.
    The question is: is it possible to publish an SWF that can access to the CD content without user interaction? We are almost sure that the answer is "yes" because we have a lot of "magazines" cds with SWF files that load the contents from CD (text and images) and they work perfectly "as is".
    Thank you very much!

    Look into creating your own projector file from the .fla:

    or Google "Flash projector files"
    You can create both the .exe version for Windows as well as a Mac version
    But to burn both versions (so will work on either) on a CD at the same time, you'll need to create a Hybrid CD:

    or Google "create hybrid CD"
    Once you get the cd burned, then you can use an autorun.inf file to get the auto start... works well with Windows... Mac... not so much. But perhaps this will get you started:

  • Ongoing problems with Flash in Firefox 8

    I am still having problems with Flash player since upgrading to Firfox 8 - see previous posts.
    Symptoms:
    When I try to access any flash containing page, the flash content does not load or play - the area it should be is blank or shrunk out - not even a token jpeg.
    What I have tried:
    Checked Flash is installed and enabled and up to date - all OK.
    Tried re-installing Flash anyway - no effect.
    Tried uninstalling flash and re-installing - this fixes the problem temporarily, but as soon as I shut down and restart, the problem returns.
    Tried disabling other add ons - makes no difference. Only addon in this area is Freecorder toolbar.
    Tried updating settings in Windows Firewall to ensure Firefox is allowed - no change.
    Ensured my anti-virus/spyware program (PC Tools Anti-virus) is not blocking any of the websites - nothing there.
    Checked situation in IE (Yuck!) - works fine there.

    No response to this, and problem has not gone away. Looks like I am going to have to change browser....
