How to edit F4V from Flash Media Server?

I'm using FMS 4.5 to record a live stream from a webcam. Because of the poor quality when also recording audio on the same stream, I have to use two. So, I end up with two .f4v files - one with the video, and one with the audio. I need to then combine them into a proper video. However I cannot import these files into Premiere - which is quite goofy. Anyone know how to manage this?

Well, there is definitely something weird with the file. I couldn't find what, though.
What worked was converting to MP4 using the following:

How to get list of logged-in users from Flash Media Server in a Flash programm? (Or login/logout notifications)

Hi there,
I'm Very sorry for asking this. I guess it's a very basic problem, but I'm very new to Flash and Flash media Server and I need a very fast answer...
Currently I'm working on a Director project using a flash program which connects to Flash Media Server (I guess version 3, it's quite old). Unfortunately they forgot to make a flash method to send the actual userlist (or a notification when someone logged in or out) to Director. AND, unfortunately, they lost the source code of that flash programm, so I cannot look into it or alter it *sigh*.
Now I want to do a new flash programm which covers the old one, letting all known methods "pass trough" and building an additional method to gain the user list (or login/out notification).
How do I get the login information from Flash Media Server? (Would be good if you could provide an idea already for flash code... as I said I'm a tard at flash till now)
Thank you so much. And I hope you understand my situation asking here...
Jana

hparmar : yes, that's what I feared... I hoped it would be possible to tell the server from which application I do need the login information. What a mess.
Dimo Hristov: thanks for your offer! I already tried decompiling the flash program with the shareware version of Trillix Decompiler. It only decompiled the UI (in a terrible way) but no source code at all. It was the shareware version where I can decompile 2 or 3 programms to test the software. Are you sure the non-free version of Trilix Flash Decompiler will do..?

Your can use loadVars (just like in client side AS), or you
can use AMFPHP. You'll find some relevant AMFPHP/FMS examples at

Streaming from Flash Media Server into Captivate

Hi
We're fortunate to have a Flash Media Server (4) which we use to distribute video over our local network using Flash CS5 and have encountered no problems. However, when I try to use it for Captivate 5 files I've had no success (same with 4 incidentally). I've tried just about every string I can think of with no ext., with the ext, f4v's, flv's, /mp4:, different folders/ no folders (vod) etc etc. There must be something fundamentally wrong with what I'm doing but for the life of me I can't think what. The Media server currently delivers video over our Intranet and we also use it for Adobe Connect. Any help in this matter will be appreciated.
My string is rtmp://breezefms2/vod/<nameofvideo> (no ext.)

Hi Crozzer,
We have published a blog post detailing the formats to be used for streaming video.
I would suggest you to have a look at the blog post : http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/03/workaround-for-video-streaming-issues-in-captivat e.html and try out the streaming formats mentioned.
Please incorporate the URI changes mentioned in the blog post and let us know if streaming video works for you.
Thanks

How do screen sharing in Flash Media Server?

Can one use the Flash Media Server to share a window that one
is currently working on with everyone so that everyone could see
(through the Web)? If yes, how can we do it?

FMS doesn't support screen sharing... Adobe is keeping that
one for themselves.
What you can do (although it's a sloppy hack) is to use a
screen capture driver like Camtasia, and have the user (the one
with the desktop that is to be viewed) select that as their camera
source. You then treat it like any other live video stream.
This means that anyone who is going to show their desktop
needs to have the screen cap driver installed.

Audio not streaming correctly from Flash Media Server

Our company has a Flex application (3.0.2) that is having a problem with audio dropping out in Windows 7. The problem appears worse with a wireless connection, but it can’t be consistently reproduced there, either. The only thing known for sure is that the problem has not been seen on any other version of Windows.
The application thinks the audio is playing, because it is calling the appropriate event listeners triggered when the audio completes and when any audio cue points are hit. The majority of our audio is streaming via Flash Media Server (3,0,2,201), but the problem was also seen using embedded sound effects. In one instance, several clicks of a button triggered an error saying the sound effect could not be loaded, and then about a minute later, all the sound effects played at once and the user could then continue with the application.
The problem has been repeated in IE 8, Firefox 3 and Chrome.

Thanks for your details. But i need more info.
Server:
FMS      3.0.2 ?
FMS installed in which platform Linux/windows? more details about it.
Client:
IE          7
Flash Player version     ?
WIndows 7
Wireless connection - Was the client placed in poor bandwidth.
Can you get the NetStream status info when u play the audio file.? We can check for the rebuffering happening at the client side.
Can you run your audio file through flvCheck Tool to check if the media file is in good form. It is available at "\$Root|Flash Media Server\tools\flvcheck.exe"
Now our intention should be to check the same media file with simpler application (since your production app is complicated) to ensure that the media streaming over 'client to server' is working fine.

Flash Media Server 4.5 unable to start setup on OS X 10.7

When I downloaded a developer edition from Flash Media Server page (11 Oct 2011). I tried to follow the setup instruction in readme.htm which comes in the zip of Linux version.
I logged in to terminal as root user and call './installFMS' and then the terminal show me:
ERROR: Your operating system is not supported by the
Adobe Flash Media Server installer.
Does it mean Flash Media Server Developer Edition cannot work on OS X Lion (10.7)?

Hi,
No, that platform is not supported, for any of the FMS versions.

Flash Media Server doubts

How many concurrent users supports Flash Media Server version 3.0.7?

There are major difference between the two editions you are mentioning but most important difference in your context is - No Remote SharedObjects and No Server-side coding is possible in Flash Media Streaming Server. So you won't be able to write full fledged Video Chat or Text Chat - you migth have to use some other technologies so that you can create chat rooms and use FMSS to do Video Streaming part.
You can see full comparision between all editions of FMS here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-server-family/buying-guide-comparison.html

Asynchronous NetStream / Flash Media Server

Hello,
this is my first experience with audio streaming and I am also fairly new to FMS. I am very grateful for any help
In my application two or more people can talk to each other (for example like in Skype). I use NetStream objects for it, that means for x users = x netStream objects for each user (1 for publishing the own stream to Flash Media Server, x - 1 for playing the other users' streams from Flash Media Server).
SOMETIMES they suddenly become asynchronous. That means: suddenly it takes some time (for example: 5 seconds) until a stream reaches a user (like in a bad mobile phone connection), so that they have to "wait" for each other.
What are the reasons for that? I am sure it has something to do with the bandwidth? And: what can I do about it?
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Mike

Hi kanr ,
I tried this code on my FMS 4.0 server.
application.onAppStart = function() {
var entry = new LoadVars();
entry.SessionID="fffd9f3d-4712-4fd4-b6bb-c56ea9a30fba";
entry.filename="test.flv";
entry.type="video/x-flv";
var resp = new LoadVars();
resp.onData = function(data) {
trace("onData" );
resp.onHTTPStatus = function(status) {
trace("status: "+status);
entry.sendAndLoad("http://localhost:8134/cgi-bin/test.pl",resp,"POST");
I do get the HTTP Status as expected i.e 200 in onHTTPStatus. Are you trying something different from this that is not working. If required, you can provide me more details on [email protected]
Thanks,
Abhishek

Trying to buffer on Flash Media Server

Hi all, I am very embasarred about this as I should really have studied more but I am having massive difficulty in getting my videos to buffer from Flash Media Server 3.5. The videos are on the web and streaming fine so really I just need to put some actionscript in to make them work... sounds easy. Also, I come across an article by Fabio Sonatti which seems to offer the solution I need. He states the following script.
function initConnection() {
   // Create a NetConnection
   nc = new NetConnection();
   // Define onStatus event handler
   nc.onStatus = function(info) {
   trace("Level: "+info.level+" Code: "+info.code);
   // Initialize the stream after the connection is successful
   if (info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
      trace("--- connected to: " + this.uri);
      startStream(); //Inizialize the stream
   // try to connect, to be changed with your app path
   nc.connect("rtmp://127.0.0.1/dualBuffering/demo");
function startStream() {
   //Define stream and buffers parameters
    stream_name="test_stream"; //your stream
    startBufferLength=2; //keep this in the range 2-4+
    expandedBufferLength=15; //arbitrarily high
   // create a netstream
   ns = new NetStream(nc);
   // Define onStatus event handler
   ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
      if (infoObject["code"]=="NetStream.Buffer.Full"){
      ns.setBufferTime(expandedBufferLength);
      trace("set expanded buffer");
      if (infoObject["code"]=="NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
      ns.setBufferTime(startBufferLength);
      trace("set start buffer");
   // attach the NetStream to a video object
   // change from videoObj to your istance name if needed
   videoObj.attachVideo(ns);
   ns.setBufferTime(startBufferLength);
   ns.play(stream_name, 0);
initConnection();
stop();
Now, please appreciate that I know very lkittle about ActionScript but I do know to change the path "rtmp etc etc" to the location of my video on the FMS, so thats fine. However this is where I have a problem I am afraid. I am 100% sure that I need to replace some other items within the code to make it work (as I get errors when I test the video in Flash) but I am afraid and embarassed that I have no idea which items to change. I know the code is perfect but I dont know what a NetStream is and this I think is letting me down.
I apologise in advance for being an idiot but I am just desperate to get these videos buffering, I know this is the codfe to do it but I need someone to just talk to me in dead simpl;e terms to put me in the right direction. Can anyone help ? : Many thanks : Dom

MediaPlayer.stop() will only stop playback of the stream, but not close the connection.
If you set MediaPlayer.media to null, then it will close the connection.

How Do I Edit Footage Recorded From Adobe Media Server?

I'm using the current version of Premiere Pro CC and I'm trying to import videos recorded live from Adobe Media Server.
I'm assuming it's the "nellymoser" audio codec that's stopping me from importing the recorded flvs.
I've been transcoding using ffmpeg, but I want to speed up this process. Any ideas?
Also, this may be a stupid question, but why the heck is a codec (nellymoser) that is owned by Adobe not supported by Adobe Premiere Pro?

I was reading up about nellymoser on Wikipedia (the most reliable source!) and it seems like Adobe has problems with the licensing for nellymoser. They apparently tried to release a standalone converter, but the licence agreement that was inherited with the codec didn't allow it.
So maybe it's just a rock in a hard place situation. Really too bad, if this is the case, that a company can own something but not be able to allow their customers to use it fully.

Playing video from a flash media server

Can anyone point me to code to play streaming video from a Flash Media Server in Flex?

Can you tell me how are you concluding that you are skipping few seconds when you set higher bufferTime - is it on visual inspection or say based on status messages.

How to integrate flash media server 4.0 live streaming for iOS devices ?

You need to place the crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Create a text file in the webroot folder using notepad, and call it crossdomain.xml. The text below will give you a wide open access policy, which is fine for testing.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
For debugging HTTP streaming I recommend you get hold of something like Charles or Fiddler. These will greatly assist in pinpointing any issues.

Hi,
Are you trying to make an air app or a web application (flash) for streaming? You may want to check out the osmf framework to help you write a player for mobile platform. Check out http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/ for more info on how you can write streaming video players using this framework. There are some good tutorials there and also you may post on the forum to get your specific queries solved.

Streaming from Digital Rapids to Flash Media Server

Hello,
I am using a Digital Rapids StreamZ encoder (version 3.8.0) to stream towards YouTube, Dailymotion, Akamai. I wish to install a Flash server on the same VLAN as my Digital Rapids in order to check the encoding in case there is an issue on YT/DM's side. I therefore downloaded Adobe Flash Media Server and now wish to send my stream towards the AMS. Which Server URL and Stream Name should I use to configure my Digital Rapids? How should I configure the AMS to receive the stream from the DR?
Many thanks in advance for your help and advice,
mdicamp

The Digital Rapids doesn't seem to recognize my destination Server URL. I guess it is because of a port issue.
Checking the ports situation on my AMS Server (cmd -> netstat -an), I realise port 1935 (which receives RTMP) is only listening locally (127.0.0.1:1935) instead of to the exterior (I would like to have 0.0.0.0:1935). The application does not seem to have forced the port to open (I don't have any firewall).
I hope this helps move anyone forward in helping me out. Thanks in advance !
