Integrating Flash Media Server with other formats

I would like to create a standard screen/player that can play
any of the following formats:
windows media files, all flash files, quick time files, real
player files.
So, for example, lets say I want to manipulate the screen to
be an exact aspect ratio and have the same skin, and exact same
controls as my flash files, but I don't want to work with Real
Server or a Windows Media Server to serve these files what is the
best approach to take ? i.e. a "Standardized" look and feel for all
the formats listed.
Where would I be able to get information that will help me
achieve this ?

There are two parts to this,
Flash Media Server application - both client and server side. Check out the video conference app here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/sample_apps.html.
The client side app will be a .swf file which you can develop in Flash/Flex.
Second, you will have to embed this swf file in your asp.net page that will be delivered to browsers. I am not an expert in asp.net but googled a bit and get a feeling it's possible using
tag.
Also don't forget to check this link http://renaun.com/blog/2006/10/28/139/ for video conferencing app using flex and FMS.

Beginners guide to integrating Flash Media Server 2?

I'm a newbit to Flasha dn flash media server and need some
help with integrating the two products. We've just purchased Flash
Media Server 2 to stream user created videos to a website. Idealy
we would like to use the FlvPlayBack component placed on the stage
to display the FLV file from the media server, but cannont get the
component to access the FLV file.
Media Server Configuration:
On the Media Server we created an application (testapp) with
an default instance (_definst_). The directory path for the
Appliation looks like this W:\MediaApps\testapp\streams\_definst_\
The name of the server is MediaServer
The application and instance are appearing in the Media
Server Admin manager.
I've placed an FLV file (Movie.flv) In the _devinst_
directory.
Flash FLA file
Placed FLVPlayback component on the stage
Set contentpath= rtmp:\\MediaServer\testapp\_definst_\Movie
Set islive=true
When I test publish the file, the video does not display?
Does anyone have any guidance on what I need to do? There
seems to be a lack of documentation on integrating the media
server. I looked a sample app called "SimplePB" that works, but
does not use the FLVPlayback component.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
John Wallwork

John,
For an FLV to stream from FMS, it must be placed in the
streams/_definst_ directory...
applications/myApplication/streams/_definst_/myFlv.flv
Then you would type in the rtmp connection information in the
contentPath of the FLVPlayback component like this
rtmp://myRTMPConnectionInfo/myApplication/myFlv
without the flv extension.
The documentation comes from the FMS components when you
install them.
Here it is...
To set up your FCS for streaming FLV files:
Create a folder in your FCS application folder, and give it a
name such as my_application.
Copy the main.asc file into the my_application folder.
Create a folder named streams in the my_application folder.
Create a folder named _definst_ inside the streams folder.
Place your FLV files in the _definst_ folder.
To access your FLV files on the Flash Communication Server,
use a URL such as rtmp://my_servername/my_application/stream.flv.
For more information on administering the Flash Communication
Server, including how to set up a live stream, see the FCS
documentation at
www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashcom/. When playing
a live stream with FCS, you need to set the FLVPlayback property
isLive to true. For more information, see FLVPlayback.isLive.

Bill

Hi Temur,
You should be able to stream from a Flash Media Server.
The URL should look like this:
rtmp://xxx.yyy.com//flv:
You can do some tests from a PC to get the exact URL that would suit your environment.

Chat extension to flash media server

Hi,
We have been using flash media server with great success. We were wondering if the is any software package which works with the server to provide text chat amongst the user. I would think that there is someone who already built the software for a price.

I am not sure if someone provides such a package. However, in case you are trying to develop such a chat system, there is a tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/first_im_app.html which should help you understand how to build such a system. Also there is one tutorial here at http://www.fmsguru.com/showtutorial.cfm?tutorialID=36 which could help you on this

Flash Media Server read from mapped NAS

Hi everybody
Ich have already Flash Media server with a Application wich record audio from the clients.My HD ist full and i cant add one more, so i want to map a virtual directory to a network addrress from one NAS like the RS-411 from synology. I have not yet the NAS i will buy it and i want to know if this a good idea ist or if i must buy a biggest HD.
Thank you for your comments

Ok I managed to find the solution,
My FMS was not setup to use SSL.
Once I followed the directions detailed in the documentation
on how to secure FMS and I setup the SSL certificate in the
server.xml and adaptor.xml file then it all worked great.
The documentation is located in the flash media server
documentation directory
and the ssl stuff is in the
flashmediaserver_managing.pdf

Domain issues with Flash Media Server

I have a webcam streaming to Flash Media Server via the Media
Encoder. I have published the .swf file with the flash player and
rtmp://99.999.999.999:1935/live/livestream address to my website on
a hosted webserver.
When I am on another internet source, the player on my
webpage loads and works fine. However when I load the webpage in a
browser on the same network that has the Media Server and Webcam on
it, the browser freezes up.
I need some help with a solution that will cause the rtmp://
address to switch to a local host address. Any suggestions.

Does Flash Media Server work with Wirecast?

Does Flash Media Server work with the encoding software, Wirecast?
Do any of you have experience integrating the two? Good or bad ?
I'm currently using Red5, which doesn't work with Wirecast, but I'd like to be able to use Wirecast.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Best wishes.

Thanks again for your help on this!
I'm very new at this and don't really understand :
if you've enabled SWF verification on the FMS side, and made an exception for the FMLe user-agent,
I haven't done anything as far as setting other verifications, etc. This is just a default install of the FMS 3.5 Developers version.
But I have tried all 3 user agents, still, none can connect. I still keep getting the "Can't publish stream... check credentials/tokens" error message 4020.
Any other thoughts/ideas?
Best wishes.

Linux issue with Flash Media Server 2

Greetings all,
We have just upgraded from Flash Communication Server 1.5 to
Flash Media Server 2, running on a server with Redhat Enterprise
Linux 4.
For some reason, a Flash movie that uses the old
MediaPlayBack component does not stream video of a FLV. It does
stream audio. On my testing server using Windows 2000 it functioned
fine.
On the other hand, the FLVPlayback component works nicely.
But I will have to go back and rewrite literally dozens of
applications that I wrote for Flash Comm 1.5 which used the
MediaPlaybackComponent, unless there is an easy fix for this.
I have documented this anomaly with a Captivate movie which
you can see at
http://breeze.stfrancis.edu:8900/mediaplayerwoes/.
It runs 2 minutes 13 seconds.
I BADLY need help with this. If you can help I would greatly
appreciate it.

Hi. It looks like your code is not finding the mp3. At least,
I can reproduce your error code by removing the mp3 from the
directory, or renaming it.
Btw, if you test with FF instead of IE, you'd see the error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032:
Stream Error.
at KZFlash_fla::Sound_2/KZFlash_fla::frame1()
Hope that helps.

Does flash media server works with debian?

Can somebody tell me if there is a version of Flash media
server for Debian Linux?

Yep, just take the redHat version and modify the installer
script, use update-rc.d where redhat use chkconfig, that's it,
worked fine for me except the server crash once in a while with no
reason, no problems found in the log, still searching if it's my
server hardware or a software (fms) problem... but I didn't run the
adminserver and it's stable now...
Good Luck

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

Need help with Flash media server

I am using XAMPP. Now i want to intall Flash media server. How can i configure my apache server to work with flash media server? I dont want to install the apache server coming along with flash media

Hi,
What excactly is the usecase you are trying here? Are using your external Apache to proxy your http traffic from FMS to it or do you want to use http streaming feature of FMS?
If you want to proxy it then use the following document : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WSE2A5A7B9-E118-496f-92F9-E295 038DB7DB.html
Refer Configure HTTP proxying topic in the document.

Starting with Flash Media Server 3

Hi All, im thinking in start wiht FMS3 developing a flash
phone, in the first version the users logged in the flash media
server could call another users logged into the FMS.
I see samples that open a live stream between 2 users that
open a swf, both users publish and dowload a stream with a specific
name, It is the only way to open a live stream between 2 users?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards
Nacho.

Streaming with Flash Media Server

Hello all,
I'm new user in Flash Media Server. I installed it in a Red
Hat Enerprise 4 but i am not able in create no steaming file. I'm
be simple. What have i to do in order to create a simple atream
flash video? I don`t have any idea on where i havve to put the
video, where i have to put the swf file, how i create a fls who
communicate with my server...
Please help me,
Thanks for all,
Mauricio Barreto

Hello Mauricio -
There is probably several ways to do this, but being sort of
new with FMS2 too, I'll give you the way that I'm currently using
it. Both my Web server and FMS2 are on the same computer.
You FMS2 installation created a /fms/ directory.
for FLV files - /fms/applications/ and then I've created sub
directories under here for each FLV file. So, for example, the full
directory path for one of my FLV files
/fms/applications/lemurs/streams/_definst_/lemurs.flv
The "main.asc" file needs to go here too -
/fms/applications/lemurs/main.asc (for the example above).
for SWF files - put these on your Web server side.
When you make your SWF files you will reference your FLV
'source' (in 'parameters tab' in Flash) as
"rtmp:/lemurs/lemurs.flv" - again, if your Web server and FMS2 is
on the same computer. You can also do
"rtmp://UR.IP.AD.RES/lemurs/lemurs.flv" - for example,
"rtmp:/192.168.1.1/lemurs/lemurs.flv"
I hope this helps some.
