Media server dynamic buffer

Hi,
I am evaluating flash media server for usage of our camera
application. Reason that I wanna use this is that mediaserver has
ability for dynamic buffering.
My question: is it possible to set up dynamic buffer if it
not a pre recorded file. For example I am making a video of 60
minutes and want to broadcast straight away - I save the file on
mediaserver and mediaserver needs to broadcast staright away.
People with a slow connection can start viewing the video after
lets say 10 minutes, mediaserver calculates the connection. So when
we finish recording they finish watching ten minutes later.
Can anybody please help with this question and also if it is
possible how to make the application?
thanks Julie

Have a look at the following article. It's was written for
recorded streams, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't apply
the same technique to a live stream.

Flash Media Server dynamic Livestreaming

I have FMS 3.5 installed, everything is running. I want to have a livestream from a camera that is dynamic and will change according to the bandwith of the viewer. What settings do I need to choose in Flash Media Encoder, FMS and in the Player to make this possible? If I start the encoder with 3 videostreams and a %i parameter I get 3 different streams, but I can only put one of these in a player and not all. What do I need to do?

In essence each client does a bandwidth test as it connects and the chooses the most suitable stream for that connection. This is described in the docs that came with the server...look here;

Creating folder on flash media server dynamically

hello every one,
can any one tell me how can i create a folder with user name
and record the vdieo file on the desired location. i want to create
a folder on the server with the user name and want ot record file
into that particular folder

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.

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Dynamic Link Media Server Error On Video Export Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
Are you still having problems with CS6 Video Export?
What Export settings are you using? (A screencapture might be the fastest way to answer that.)
Does it work if you use the default settings?
If you have time to experiment, I have some suggestions:
Would you please try/verify the following:
1. Be sure virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
2. Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
3. Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open and export the file.
- If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
- If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open/export the file.
Thanks,
Meredith

Dynamic Link Media Server error - lost video reference file and can't replace

I've had this problem twice in the last 4 days and both times it's coincided with an internet drop-out in the office. I've imported an uncompressed QT .mov into Audition CC, splitting the video and audio tracks, and added both to a multitrack session. I'm using the video reference track to sync SFX to an animation. The problem is that the video track stops playing in the video window, and Audition crashes. We've had problems with our internet connection and this problem occured when the internet dropped out. I wait for the internet to come back online and restart Audition, and get the following message:
"This file can only be imported using the Dynamic Link Media Server process, but it is still starting and cannot yet be used. Please wait while the process initializes and we import the selected files."
The app takes 30 seconds to load and my video reference track has disappeared and is labelled "Offline". I can't replace it in the multitrack timeline, even if I try to reimport the original .mov file into the project it only displays the file as audio with no video. I'm not using Premier and don't need to sync between apps, I just need Audition to recognise a video track on my local hard drive.
FYI: I'm running OS X 10.9.1 with Audition CC and have turned on "Enable DMLS Format support" in preferences.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm thinking of reverting to Ableton!

Is this DMLS update ok for CC apps? RE: 10.9.1, looks like that update is for Mac Pro late 2013 machines, I'm running off a Mac Pro from 2010. Sounds like it wont be compatible?
On the 'about' link it says at the top "The OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update is recommended for all OS X Mavericks users." Sounds pretty unequivocal to me. You'd need absolute confirmation from Durin, but I can't on the face of it see why the latest version of DMLS wouldn't be compatible with the previous version - IOW, it should be fine. If either isn't, then they should refuse to install. But with the way that Apple has screwed up Mavericks, in all honesty, all bets are off about that, and I'm glad that I'm a W7 PC user.
I've wasted quite a lot of time lately fixing several ridiculous problems with Macs, including Mountain Lion's amazing ability to trash Wifi, etc, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed with them at all. So it's not blind prejudice, or even blatent bias this time either - FWIW I'm similarly underwhelmed with Windows 8.

Yesterday's Updates to Dynamic Link Media Server

I woke to find four updates to CS6 (Au, Ae, Ps, and Pr) yesterday, which the Updater called "Dynamic Link Media Server CS6 1.0.1 Update."
I updated, and I updated my CUDA about the same time.
Pr started working slower. So, I reverted back, using my clone.
Not sure if this was a coincicence, or which update to blame.
I'm back to the performance from both that I was used to.
The CUDA update was for bugs I wasn't experiencing and for compatibility to 10.8, which I'm not running.
Was I too hasty? Do these Dynamic Link updates do anything? Improve anything?
MacPro3,1 - CS6 - Quadro 4000 - 10.7.4

I don't doubt your engineer for a second. I'm convinced now that the nVidia or most likely the CUDA driver is behind all my Serious Errors. I was getting them right after opening a project and trying to do anything at all today. I turned CUDA off, and was able to finish the project. When that was out the door, I reinstalled the CUDA and nVidia drivers, rebooted, opened my project, enabled CUDA, and Pr has been working without the errors.
Thank you, Todd!

Dynamic Link Media Server Missing!

I have install most of the licensed Photoshop modules (I am just awaiting delivery of two new laptops), however, we are just starting to use the 'video' training lessons and two installed pieces of software will not open the videos - they say that the Dynamic Link Media Server is missing. Can you advise on how this can be corrected?

No. I guess you're misunderstanding.

You've mentioned the software will not open the videos. My question was what is the format of the video you're trying to open? MP4/ AVI/ WMV?

Dynamic Link Media Server Cannot be Found-

Hi, everybody:
I am trying to retouch two video files in Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac OS X, and I cannot find the dynamic link media server. I never had this problem before. It says a component is missing. I downloaded the update to the server and I even re-installed Photoshop Extended CS6. I have the Master Collection. I also have anti-virus software that I have turned off. It still does not work. Can family filters for my family be the cause of the server not being found? Thanks for the help and I do really appreciate it.

artisan 213574: have you resolved this problem?
I am experiencing the same problem minus that I have an anti-virus software.

Dynamic link media server

Cs6, windows 7, Movies won't open "dynamic link media server not available" ???

Haha, I was wondering about this myself! When installing updates to a shared component (such as the Dynamic Link Media Server), why did it have to download the update multiple times?
I assumed that it was a slightly different update/version for each program. If not...what a waste of bandwidth!

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.

Dynamic Link Media Server Photoshop Cs6

Hi, i have a problem with this patch. When a I try to click on File/Import/Video Frames To Layers there's an error "DynamicLink Media Server is not aviable". I try to wait 30 second and restart the program and my pc, but there have been no changes.
I also updated the patch downloaded from the website version 1.01
I saw that others have had this problem, but I have not figured out how they did to solve it. I'm Italian and I understand little about your language so... could you explain it more clearly?
Thank you

Flash Media Server Bandwidth Limitations

Is there anyway to utilise the bandwidth of the flash media server from the server side in such a way so that the streaming will happen from the flash media server to the user based on the user internet connection speed. So users with low bandwidth will receive less streaming data in their buffer and users with high bandwidth will receive more streaming data into their buffer from the server.

Perhaps i didnt get your qeustion properly. users at lower bandwidth are forced to receive less data per second compared to the users who are at higher bandwidth who will be receiving more data. Do you want to perform dynamic streaming, where in you setup same stream in multiple bitrate and then choose to stream to the clients based on their bandwidth conditions? Like low bandwidth user will receive lower bitrate stream and high bandwidth user will receive higher bit rate stream.
Let me know if this is not what you are talking about.

QT Broadcasting through media server question

Hey all,
My question is this: does anyone know how (if its even possible) to use QT Broadcaster on MANUAL UNICAST to webcast to users connecting to a media server?
for instance: G5 ---> media server <----user
<----user
<----user etc.
I have been trying to set up the webcast as such: creating a manual unicast .sdp with the IP address of the media server contained within. upload the .sdp to the media server where the users will find it and connect to the stream.
So far, all I get on the client side is a QT window that says, "Live Broadcast" and "ready".
If the clients connect to the stream through the media server (which has its own static IP that matches the one in the .sdp) shouldn't they be able to view the webcast?
Any and all thoughts are most appreciated.

Using Manual Unicast:
Manual unicast is a method of broadcasting that requires you to export an SDP file from QuickTime Broadcaster to one receiving computer identified by its IP address. The receiving application can be a single QuickTime Player or QuickTime Streaming Server or Darwin Streaming Server. If the receiving application is QTSS or DSS, the broadcast is reflected and no longer limited to a single IP address.
To broadcast via Manual Unicast:
If necessary, click Show Details in the QuickTime Broadcaster window, and in the Network pane choose a preset.
Choose Manual Unicast from the Transmission pop-up menu, and enter the IP address of the receiving computer (or accept the default IP address of your own computer if broadcasting to yourself as a test), the audio port and video port numbers (or accept the defaults if broadcasting one-to-one), and the buffer delay (or accept the default).
If desired, also enter information in the Annotation section.
Click Broadcast, and then choose Export from the File menu and SDP or Movie from the Export submenu.
Specify a name for the SDP or movie file and click Export.
If the file is exported directly to a QuickTime Player, the viewer opens the file using "Open Movie in New Player" to view the broadcast. If the file is exported to QTSS or DSS, the viewer instead uses "Open URL in New Player." Talk to your QTSS or DSS administrator to determine the correct URL.
Viewing a QT broadcast:
Your audience can view your live broadcast using either QuickTime Player or a web browser with the QuickTime Plugin. You determine how users will see the broadcast by distributing an announcement movie file, which is needed by QuickTime Player to "tune in" to your broadcast, or by creating a Web page that refers to the movie file.
For best results, your viewers should use QuickTime 6. QuickTime Broadcaster streams can be viewed using versions as early as QuickTime 4, but some viewers may not be able to watch your broadcast if you choose compression methods that are not available in the older software.
When viewers connect to your stream, progress messages appear about connecting, negotiating, and buffering, then the stream begins playing. Viewers can pause or stop the broadcast, but when they resume they'll jump to the current moment if they're watching a live broadcast.
If viewers are watching an archived (or prerecorded) broadcast, they will be able to pause, rewind, or skip ahead using the QuickTime controls.
Annotating your broadcast:
You can add a title, copyright, and other annotations to your broadcast.
If necessary, click the Show Details button in the QuickTime Broadcaster window. Then click the Network tab and fill in the desired fields under Annotations.
Your audience can view this information by choosing Show Movie Info from the File menu in the QuickTime Player application.
About Instant-On streaming:
Viewers watching a streaming video with QuickTime 6 will benefit from Instant-On, an advance in Apple's patent-pending Skip Protection technology that dramatically reduces buffer, or wait, time for an instantaneous viewing experience. Viewers can click around or scrub video as if it was on their hard disk.
Users must have a broadband connection to experience Instant-On. The responsiveness of Instant-On is affected by available bandwidth and size, or data rate, of the content. It can also be affected by the codec used. Hinted movies made using the QDesign Audio codec, for example, may not be Instant-On capable.
Choosing a broadcast method:
The size of your expected audience determines how you deliver the broadcast.
For example, when broadcasting a live event to only one QuickTime Player, QuickTime Broadcaster can send a single stream using Mac OS X without server software.
