Media server and Media live encoder running, but how do I view my stream?

Ok. This is the first time I have ever used these two programs. I got the Media server running and connected and the Media live encoder streaming and connected to the server. I have not been able to test the stream to see if it is working correctly however, judging by the logs, it seems to be working. What I really want to know is the simplest instructions on how to view the stream from outside of my network, as it is broadcasting over the net. I am trying to do a live stream.
With just these two programs running is there a link I can go to that it will automatically play the stream back?
What exactly to I need to do now to be able to give someone my link over the net so they can watch the stream?
Do I actually need a server to put the /applications/live folder onto?
Thank you!
(ps I have been reading the adobe documentation on this but I'm still confused)

I am certainly no expert as I have just started working
with this myself. But I will try to help.
To view the stream you need a client. As started in the Flash Media Server Development Guide:
You can use any of the following clients to play video streamed from the live service:
Flash Media Server sample video player (RootInstall/samples/videoPlayer)
Flash FLVPlayback component (fl.video.FLVPlayback)
Flex VideoDisplay component (mx.controls.VideoDisplay)
Any custom-built application that runs in Flash Player, AIR, or Flash Lite 3
You can pick up this link at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773cf ae-7ff7.html
I have a very basic example of a custom-built player that does work - I'm running FMS Dev (localhost) and a webcam. Let me know if you need the example.
Good luck. I hope more experts will start to post help, as I am struggling with some things myself.

Compatibily problems between flash media live encoder 3 and fms version 2 ?

hello
i am trying to setup a stream for a live event we plan
for this we want to use our "flash media server v. 2.04" and
to encode the video the
"flash media live encoder 3"
but im really shocked about the poor quality - actually its
not working
the video is freezing for a while an then playing back very
fast and then freezing again
and the audio is stuttering
i tried propably all kinds of combinations of the settings
without any success
very often the encoding session is being stopped and started
again with the following
error message:
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:02:22 : Audio Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:02:22 : Video Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:09 : Unexpected error encountered in
encoding process.
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Audio Encoding Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Video Encoding Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Session Stopped
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Session Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:10 : Audio Encoding Started
Fri Mar 13 2009 05:03:11 : Video Encoding Started
and the media server says:
Sending error message: Method not found (FCUnpublish).
Sending error message: Method not found (releaseStream).
sometimes it restarts only the audio encoding
the machine for the streamingserver (windows version) is
realy strong an has a very fast
internet connection
the encoding machine is a 2.2ghz macbook pro with windows xp
and 6000 dsl connection
with the low bandwidth factory setting of the flash media
live encoder the cpu usage is
about 16%
for the videoinput i want use a canopus ADVC-110 firewire
capturedevice
but i also tried the apple isight usb 2.0 laptop-camera and a
logitech quickcam express
usb 1.0 webcam
all with negative results
two colleques encountered the same problems on their machines
but when i upstream the video with an standart flash client
the videostream runs stable
without any problems
so i guess the problem is the flash media live encoder
is there a compatibily problem between the server version and
the encoder version ?
thanks in advance for any hints

Hi,
FMS 2.04 version doesn't support H.264 and AAC/HEAAC. So, you
can only use Vp6, Mp3 and Nellymoser codecs in FMLE for streaming
to this server.
You are getting "Unexpected error" message within 50 sec of
your encoding session. This error occurs when either of the video
or audio device doesn't function properly. As you have mentioned
that various video devices gave negative results, try to use a
different audio device or uncheck the 'audio' device option and
encode only video.
Exactly what was the nature of the negative results for
different video devices? Was it the same "unexpected error"
problem? Please share the steps, device and encoder settings also.
When you observe video freezing and audio stuttering problem
while playback, reload the flash player and let me know if you
still see the same problem.

Problem when saving flash media live encoder CS5 output

Greeting,
I have a problem with flash media live encoder CS5 that when I record a stream and save it to selected folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media\CHAT.flv)
I can se the file from flash media live encoder CS5 but when I try to stream it using flash professional CS5 and run it using FLVPlayBack through rtmp://localhost/vod/CHAT it will tell me connection error or file not exist. I check the folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media) but the file is not there but when I brows the folder using flash media live encoder CS5 I can see the file.
please advice me how to solve this problem.

Replicate Flash Media Live Encoder function in-browser?

Hi all.
I am a .NET developer (in other words little experience with the Flash tech) and need to be able replicate what Flash Media Live Encoder does, but in browser? Can anyone give me a hint as to what to do or where to look?
Want to be able to record a FLV video with sound from the webcam/microphone on the client PC hosting the web browser and store it on the PC ready for further processing.
Would be much appreciated.

You can write a swf and run in browser - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Video.html

Problem Downloading Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder

I log in to My Adobe, go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-encoder.html , click the Download button.
It gets to the page https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fmle3 which has text on top of text, but no download button.
There is an Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder link but it goes back to the first page.
How can this software be downloaded?

Proxy between Flash Media Live Encoder and Adobe Media Server

ciao,
I encode from a pc with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to a server with Adobe Media Server. And this configuration works well.
The actual configuration is:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer B
with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP/live and StreamName
test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) computer B (es: 210.22.11.134) with Adobe Media Server
But now I need to encode from Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (computer A) to a pc (computer P) and then redirect the rtmp stream to the Adobe Media Server (computer B). Those 3 computers have different lan configurations. If I use rtmpsuck (http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/) on computer P, can I use it like proxy to redirect the computer A rtmp flow to computer B?
I suppose:
1) computer A (es: 192.168.1.5 - gw 192.168.1.254) point to computer P with FMS url: rtmp://COMPUTER_P_WAN_IP/live and StreamName test?user=useruser&password=userpassword
2) on computer P (es: 10.10.10.8 - gw 10.10.10.254) I install
rtmpsuck, I open port 1935 on his firewall and I configure iptables
like: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1935 -j DNAT
--to-destination COMPUTER_B_WAN_IP:1935
3) on computer B I do nothing.
Now I have 3 questions:
1- Can it works?
2- On computer P (the proxy) I must install rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv or I can install only rtmpsuck? I don't necessary need to record the stream
3- Is there another way to do this? Is there another software to redirect the stream?
Thankyou
M.

Please update us when FMLE OSX is deployed. BTW, I get that the server market is dominated by LINUX/WINDOWS and this is a FMS add on. But, my shops creative workflow is Mac based for obvious reasons. Encoding is part of our editing workflow and thus needs to be mac based. Throw us a bone please.

What's difference push stream with server script and push with flash media live encoder??

Hi
I'm multi point push streaming with adobe flash media server 4
Stream structure like this
Open Broadcaster Software (or Flash media live encoder) (RTMP) -> Home Flash media server with multi push script (main.asc)
-> Stream to 2 justintv channels + 1 dailymotion channel (1024x576 , 1750Kbps)
no problem at all when streaming to justintv
but some another stream services have speed problem
ustream can not push with this method
and dailymotion, vaughnlive push speed slow down than OBS or FMLE Direct stream
for example
when direct streaming with OBS or FMLE (Without home server) , no problem at all stream to dailymotion and vaughnlive
clearly no lag
but when push with server script, slow down push speed and unstable (it affect only for dailymotion and vaughnlive streams)
justintv upload speed same as OBS, FMLE's bitrate but dailymotion, vaughnlive bitrate always slower than justintv or OBS, FMLE
Like this - justintv , OBS, FMLE (1750Kbps~2000Kbps) but dailymotion, vaughnlive (1600Kbps~1800Kbps)
I don't understand why have push speed difference between server script push and OBS, FMLE push
Have any reason? and do not have solution???
(sorry for my bad english)

First of all let me clarify that we call multi point publish and it has been explained in detail here
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e -7ffbDev.html
When you do multi point publish(MPP) you publish from one server to another server, when you use FMLE you do a normal publish of stream(s) from a client/encoder(FMLE in this case) to the Adobe Media server.

Flash Media Live Encoder and Mac OS X

When will Flash Media Live Encoder be available on Mac OS X? It is ridiculous that it isn't yet.
Seriously though, who in the media industry is seriously working with Windows?
Is there a concrete statement on this from Adobe?
Thanks and regards,
B.

Flash Media Server/Flash Media Live Encoder

Hello I just installed the authentication addin to my FMS 3.5 server (Windows 2008 Server - 32Bit.) I created a user and have check that the user/password is correct; however every time I attempt to connect to the server via Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 I receive user not found. Again, I will go back to the utility on the FMS and check and the user/password combination is valid. I'm stuck, I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

Thank you for you replay. Yes, I did restart. I figured out what my problem was on yesterday. I needed to run the command prompt utility as "administrator" in order for users.exe to execute fully. It was a permissions issue. Again thank you!

This is just a shot in the dark....
Do you have all your devices hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE? For example -- your camera or digitizer? When FMLE launches it will try to launch with the last known settings... including input devices. If it can't find these devices (they're not hooked up and on) it can crash, although in most situations it will simply show a default screen with default settings.
If you do have your equipment hooked up (and on) when you launch FMLE, try unplugging them and then launching FMLE so that it opens up in default configuration mode (no input devices selected; all default settings). Then uncheck the "preview" boxes for both your input and output preview windows. Close FMLE and then plug in your equipment (and turn it on) and relaunch FMLE. I offer this suggestion as FMLE can sometimes act funny when the preview windows are open with certain types of input devices. Don't worry -- you don't have to keep the preview windows off forever. If you can get FMLE to successfully launch with the preview windows off, then you can set your settings however you like and save the profile. Then quit and relaunch FMLE and then turn the preview windows back on and see if it works. If it does, great. Just be aware that making any settings changes while the preview windows are open could result in FMLE crashing. Again -- this only happens with some capture devices, such as certain Dazzle capture boxes.
If none of this works, you could always try to upgrade to FMLE 3.2 and see if that solves your problem.

Can flash media live encoder feed stream to remote adobe media server installed on other machine?

Hi All,
i have installed Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 on my one machine xxx and AMS version 5 on another machine yyy.

Flash Media Live Encoder won't connect to server

I am trying to configure Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2. I followed the instructions provided by the chatroom I am working for, and it seems to be working until I press the "Start" button on the bottom. When I do that, I get an error message that says
"Problem with Primary Server
Failure to connect to primary server. Please verify that your Server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry."
I get the same message when I hit the "Connect" button on the dashboard.
I have Windows 7, and more than adequate processing power/connection speed. My performance meter says it is only taking up 9% of my CPU, and my connection speed is at least 15, usually more like 30megs.
Any suggestions?

Most of the time is is due to;
Ports or firewall blocking connections
Settings put into FMLE are not correct, check FMS URL for spaces and the Stream key not being what was expected.
Application no present on the server
Good way to debug is to use the Admininistration panel that Adobe provides in the FMS install.

Adobe flash media live encoder not connecting to my server?

Hi all,
     I am working on streaming programs through "Adobe flash Media Live encoder" in my website.The steps that i done for streaming is
    * Installed Adobe flash media live encoder
    * In the FMS URL entered as " rtmp://myserver ip/live "
    * In stream given as "livestream"
    * when i click connect the follwing error is displaying " Invalid primary FMSURL "
The website i am going to implement is " www.thelivingword.in:8080 " which is done using PHP. Is there anything i have to do in coding to connect the media server.As i am new to this i need guidance from you people for completing this..
Plz help me out of this..waiting for ur guidance steps.

Hari.V

Can you check if firewall is on machine where Flash Media Server is installed? I mean it needs to off or you need to allow port 1935 and 80 so that you allow incoming traffic to FMS on this ports.

Presonus AudioBox 1818VSL and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder Compatibility

Good afternoon,
Working in a while with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder for audio and video streams but with an audio card M-AUDIO DELTA 1010 LT. The M-AUDIO plate is no longer manufactured and because of this I am looking for a Audio card that is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder.
I did some research and found the external audio card Presonus Audiobox 1818 VSL, I wonder if that audio card is compatible with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2?

FMLE will work with all devices which have direct show based drivers and give data in raw format. Here is a list of devices which have been tested and certified with FMLE - http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.0.pdf
