FMS4 -Set the Flash Media Server services to Run as Administrator (FMSCore not running)

Installed fms4 x64 on windows server 2008 to try it out. When i open up task manager to check processes running, FMSCore process does not runhttp://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86205.htmlI found this in the knowledge base but step3 "Run this program As Administrator" checkbox is greyed out so i cannot do anything. I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice.
Even the video that's supposed to play when you click the start screen is not playingSet the Flash Media Server services to Run as Administrator
Complete the following steps for each of the following files located in the Flash Media Server root installation folder (C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flash Media Server, by default):
FMSAdmin.exe
FMSCore.exe
FMSMaster.exe
FMSEdge.exe
Right-click the file and chooseProperties.
Select the Compatibility tab and click Change Settings For All Users.
Select Run This Program As Administrator. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Complete these steps for each Flash Media Server service.
Restart the computer.
Flash Media Server starts when the computer starts.

Hi,
Thanks for using FMS4.
When you said "
I have stopped and restarted service so many time, rebooted server at least twice. "
How did you make sure that the services are restarted ? Probably they have not yet started at all ? You need to have admin privileges to start/stop the FMS services. Please make sure you have the admin rights for the logged in user.
Open a command prompt as admin, and run the following commands :
net start fms
net start fmsadmin.

Can't connect the Flash Media Server

hi ,I am a jackaroo in Flash Media Server
My OS is Windows XP ,I install the Flash Media Server in
C:\programme files\
using fms2_console.swf i can successfully connect to the
server and manage it.
I make a empty folder named 'test' in the application folder
then i deploy it in cosole.
next I write actionscript in flex to connect to the server.
but it always return 'connection failed'
in the server log ,it displays 'Sun 06:46:55 PM: Core (3964)
socket migration failed.'
I use netstat -a ,the port 1111,1935 ,11110,19350 are open.
The code I writed looks like this
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding =
flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
public var net_con:NetConnection;
net_con=new NetConnection();
net_con.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,connectionHandle);
net_con.connect("rtmp:/test");
private function connectionHandle(event:NetStatusEvent):void
if((event.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success")||net_con.connected==true)
Alert.show("CONNECTION SUCC！！！");
else
Alert.show("CONNECTION FAILED！！！");
I don't why it cann't connect to the server
I googled it but find nothing helpful and I think you can
help me .
Very sorry for my bad english .

I think there is no problem in this code.
because In the documention flashmediaserver_developing.pdf
It's write
"Applications are run by creating application instances. When
a client connects to an
application, the client is actually connected to an
application instance. For example, a client
connects to an application named chat_app, as the following
example shows:
nc.connect(“rtmp://myDomain.com/chat_app”);"
I also tried rtmp://127.0.0.1/test ,but same result

Setting up Flash media server 4.0

ok so is where i am now..
i have a orgin server and 2 edge servers and a load balancer
first off im confused in each edge server i set them to be remote, rtmp and changed the routeentry to <RouteEntry>*:*;96.44.***.***:1935</RouteEntry> on both servers
orgin server is just local
what my question is im streaming to orgin and its getting sent to 1 edge and other edge is doing nothing no traffic the stream i set it this way url: 'rtmp://173.254.***.***/live/live_test', which is the 1 edge thats working if i setup another channel pointing to the other edge server ip adresss it doesnt work.. what am i doing wrong isnt all this supposed to be load balanced or am i missing steps...
or did i do it wrong on the flash player config.. Thanks

ok so here is the deal...
url: 'rtmp://173.254.***.***/live/live_test' <-- was wrong i think i pointed it edge server so i changed it to point to load balancer:1935 and it worked... only problem when people connected 80% of the load went to dallas edge server..
Ok so this is my setup
2 dedicated servers 1 in dallas and 1 in LA
Dallas server has 2 1gbit lines so i made 2 vps's inside the server 1 to act as load balancer and 1 to act as origin server...
la server was just plain edge server...
as per this
listen rtmp :1935
    mode tcp
    balance roundrobin
server s1 173.254.***.***:1935 check
    server s2 96.44.***.***:1935 check
should it not have worked ? or did i miss sumthing again
i feel im really close to solving this...

WAMP and Flash Media Server

I currently have WAMP(Windows, Apache,MySQL,PHP) installed as
my primary server; I do not want to change this. What I would like
to do is use Flash Media Server as my primary streaming server and
be able to host media files on it. I have been informed that if I
broadcast from the Media Server on Port 80 I will run into trouble
when I start the WAMP server (because it works on Port 80). The
resolution that I've been told is to put the Media Server on Port
:8080. What I am trying to find out is if any one here is running
the Flash Media Server as a second server using Port 8080 or is it
smarter to just assign Flash Media Server it's own port. By the
way, I am trying to set up a test environment that will replicate
what the real server and application will have to do. Any advice is
greatly appreciated. Thank You

what version of windows are you running?.......try shutting down fms service before making changes.......I know in windows 7 you have to right click choose properties of the folder fms.ini resides in and adjust the security settings.

Windows Flash Media Server ERROR: [info] mod_jithttp - FMS installation path: "C:\\Program Files\\Ad

Hello all,
    I am running Flash Media Server 4.5.1 for Windows. I am using Windows 2008 R2 Server. Whenever I start my Flash Media Server, I get the following error in my Windows Event Log in the Application section.
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> [Tue Sep 04 13:43:40 2012] [info] mod_jithttp - FMS installation path: "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Flash Media Server 4.5\\" .
I am using the default configuration settings for HDS Live in the Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf

I am not sure what the error is, I did see using a single quote if you are using spaces in Windows for Apache2.2 configuration and that setting did not work. I would like to use HDS Live eventually. If anyone has experience in troubleshooting this, I'd love to hear your input. Thank you.

Hello Shiven,
     FMS Apache Service is installed from the Adobe Flash Media Server installation program. When I start FMS from the "Start Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5" icon, it starts both the "Flash Media Server (FMS)" and "FMSHttpd" service. When I stop the FMSHttpd service I am not longer able to access my FMS server from http://myfmsserverip. Please advise.

Flash Media Server v3.5 - fmscheck question.

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

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

Flash Media Server 4.5 - cache failure

Hi everyone,
I have a FMS cluster with 8 apps on each server and my content (music) is storaged on a NFS.
Sometime these NFS becomes very slow and the FMS begin to cache and serve only a partial content of the music. This problem only is solved when restarts the service and the cache is cleaned up.
My doubt is, there is a configuration to prevent this invalid cache, like md5sum or content lenght check? And how can i clean only a specific object on cache.
thanks in advance.

Hello Shiven,

Windows Vista and Flash Media Server Streaming Problems

My company recently started using Flash Media Server to
stream audio and video content.
My boss just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and now no
streaming content will play at all. Simple Flash animations work,
but nothing that accesses the Flash Media Server for content. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the Flash Player
on his machine but nothing seems to work. I also tried the new
"Reset" feature in IE that is supposed to return it to it's
shipping state and that didn't work. I navigated to the "System 32"
folder and ran the Flash Updater EXE. I downloaded and installed
all of the available updates through "Windows Update".
I also tested Flash Objects that stream video on Adobe.com
and they don't play either. Has anyone heard of this happening or
know what I need to do to fix it? I don't know if this is a bug in
the Flash Player or with Windows Vista.

This appears to be the solution:

Flash Media Server and Red 5 server

Hi Folks...
This may sound a little off topic, but please bear with me. I would like to know if it is possible to run Action Script
Communication Files(.asc) on an red 5 server, just like how a .asc
file runs in the Flash Media Server. Hope someone can advise. Thanks.

I dont think Red5 supports .asc file, it uses server-side javaScript however. You may like to check this page - http://red5.org/ticket/204

Slow connection to flash media server 2 (with HTTP Tunneling)

Hello,
I use a FMS2 for a big project which include Instant
Messenger and
streaming video.
On my development platform. I have no problem. But in the
final
configuration, the connection to Flash Media Server takes a
lot of
time (about 2 or 3 minutes) and i can't find why.
FMS2 was installed on Windows 2003 Server behind a proxy and
a
firewall which only let the hostport 80 oppened.
The server does not run a web server (or anyother
application) which
use this hostport.
The connection are established by HTTP Tunneling.
Does someone already have the same problem?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my poor english level.
Guillaume

I forgot to mention:
Flash Media server is running fine. I can log into the Admin
application no probs.
I created a folder called "test". Inside that folder I
created another one called streams and inside that folder I created
a folder called _definst_.
I placed an flv file called: test.flv in to the _definst_
folder.
In Dreamweaver CS3 I inserted a Flash Video File:
Chose Streaming as the option and for the RTMP path I put:
rtmp://ipaddressofserver/test/_definst_/test.flv
Called the stream....test.
When i run the page it loads, but the page is blank.
In the Flash Media Server, in the "View Applicationd" tab
I get the record of test and underneath it in the same link
it says test.flv with 1 client
The Streams tab shows a random name and Netstream.
This tells me its recognising the connection and link, but
the movie is not on the page
any help would be appreciated
cheers

OPTIONS OTHER THAN FLASH MEDIA SERVER

HELLO ALL,
I am trying to create a webcam recorder, i would like to know
if there is a way of doing this without the use of the flash media
server or an online adobe server account.
thanks in advance.

There are two alternatives to FMS that I am aware of
Red5 (
http://osflash.org/red5)
Wowza Media Server (
http://www.wowzamedia.com)
Both are java servers, and AFAIK neitherhas support for
server side actionscript (you'd need to code in Java or one of the
other supported scripting languages). Red5 is open source, Wowza is
about half the price of FMS (the last time I checked).

Flash Admin Console shows no applications on my Flash Media Server?

Hi all,
My employer has a Flash Media Server that I wrote a little streaming video app for a couple years ago. Well, the videos have stopped working and I've been asked to troubleshoot. I fired up the fms_adminConsole.swf and connected to my server. Now, it's been a long time since I've messed with the server, but if I remember right, there was a big list of apps on the list on the left hand side of the "View Applications" view of the console. When I log in, there are no applications listed. If I hit the "New Instance" button under the empty list, I'm presented with a list of all the apps I think I should be seeing in the Applications list. If I select any of these, a new application instance appears in the applications list, and I'm prompted to give it a name, the default being "_definst_". If I hit enter to create this instance, it remains on the list and instance data appears on the right panel until the console refreshes, and then all that vanishes and I'm back to an empty applications list again.
Going to "Manage Servers", I do see a list of applications under the applications tab that I expect to see. The app that streams the video that's having problems is there on the list.
Is this typical behavior for the Flash Media Server Console? Shouldn't I have a list of apps in the "View Applications" section of the console? I've created about a dozen to date, and they're all listed under Manage Servers > Applications, but not under "View Applications". Can anyone point out if I'm doing something wrong here or missing something? Or can someone confirm that I SHOULD be seeing something under "View Applications" and that there is indeed something weird going on with the server.
Thanks for any assistance!

What you are seeing is correct behaviour. Until and unless applications are loaded or some clients are connected to them, they wont be shown under view applications tab by default. Try connecting to one of the applications you have and then you will see it automatically gets listed there.

Flash Media Server X-Forwarded-For

Hello Everybody
I need to find how to implement 'X-Forwarded-For' for Flash Media Server. Right now the problem is that the flash media server is thinking that my routers internal IP is what my external users has as external IP. So when I look into my log I can see access from 192.168.1.2 and not from the true address that is 87.72.50.50.
How can I fix this problem? If X-Forwarded-For not supported what can I use then?
Thanks!

Hi
As I understand it, Flash Media Server is more for the deployment of video.
Have you tried Wallaby to convert your files? You'll need to export for Flash Professional (from InDesign CS5 or greater) then use the Wallaby converter from there to get lovely HTML5 goodness.
Wallaby is on Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
It is an experimental technology, but surely worth a go?
