New Media Server Install; audio stream stops/starts constantly

We stream a weekly radio show and even just testing with no listeners and there is no server load, our stream stops and starts continuously. It seems like a buffering issue but we're not sure where to start looking. It happens from many different locations geographically.
I'll be happy to offer details if anyone has some advice.
We are streaming our first live show with this new stream setup from http://www.pulpmx.com/pulpmx-show at 9PM PST tonight. We are actually just running some music right now as we try to troubleshoot what is happening.
Thanks

Well let me start by clarifying, we have a server setup with 2 cPanel accounts, one of which is a standard http site, the other has its own dedicated IP and domain which we use solely for our streaming server installation.
We were using the http protocol earlier for streaming when we were having troubles; we have since switched it to rtmp and the issues went away. This is problematic though because we cant load the rtmp stream into iOS clients (including our App).
So, we're pretty sure the issue was a conflict of sharing the same hardware for a true http website delivery and also an http streaming delivery. Would you agree and is there a way to make this all work together in harmony?
Thanks.

Audio stream stops when I switch to another tab in Safari

I've got this radio station website which links to a live stream so you can hear the station online. It worked fine a couple of weeks ago, on my Powerbook G4 running 10.4.9. Then my Powerbook died.
Enter my new MacBook Pro, still running 10.4.9. I try to listen to the same station, but everytime I start the stream, then switch to another tab to browse the internet, the audio stream stops.
BTW, the audio stream behaves properly when I use Firefox. Is there a reason why Safari can't keep on playing the audio stream when it's not in the active tab? Or have I got a bad configuration?
Many thanks, as always.

Nah, forget it; I just remembered what really used to happen (which still happens):
I used to open a new Safari window (not a new tab), open the radio stream in that new window, then switch to my previous Safari window with all my tabs. Then it works.
For some reason, I don't have to do this (i.e. open two different windows as opposed to two tabs) in Firefox.
I really like and prefer Safari to most browsers, but I have to admit, it's rather flaky in a number of ways. This is one of them.

Ipad audio stream stops

I've had the ipad (new) since April 2012. The problem arose not long after the purchase and doesn't seem to be getting any better, no surprise! The problem being, audio stream stops. Sometimes the stream can be restarted by nothing more than opening up the audio steam homepage, or sometimes starting a different audio file within the homepage and then click back to the original stream, all the way to turning the ipad off and restarting...and even this has mixed results. At times even using all of the aforementioned has mixed results with varying intervals lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes, then at times can last for hours. I've double checked the problem comparing simultaneously with my laptop and it appears the problem is ipad only. There are numerous online posts concerning this but haven't yet found a solution to the problem.
Thanks to anyone helping with the resolve!

Open Audio Stream during Start Up

Open Audio Stream during Start Up
I would like to automatically open an audio stream during start up in OS X Tiger.
Placing an alias for the steam in the Accounts Log In Items of the System Preferences does not seem to work.
Any ideas?

Michael--
You ought to be able to do this with an AppleScript as an Account Login item. Just save the AppleScript as an application:tell application "iTunes"
open location "http://www.server.com/streaming.mp3"
end tellYou'll need the URL for the stream...

How to migrate Sun One directory server to a new physical server install

need help
We have to move our existing installation of sun on directory server 5.2 to a new physical server.
We have a new physical server with a new host name. I am trying to find an easiest way to take a snapshot of our existing server and put it on a new installation
So will installing sun one directory server , its shows me two choices either to create a new instance or copy configuration from a existing server
What do i choose and which is the fastest route to replicate my old server
Thanks a bunch in advance
Sganb

Hi,
I'm glad you're still using the old, glorious Sun One Directory Server 5.2, because it brings me back a lot of memories... But are you seriously talking of the 'plain' version, with no patches/hot fixes on top? If that's the case, you're using of a software that has been developed in 2004 and released in Jan 2005! Just for you to be aware, in the last *8* (eight) years a considerable number (in the magnitude of 10^3) of bugs, security problems and performance issues has been identified and fixed...
However, to provide a better answer to your question, it would be important to understand the 'big picture' in terms of scenario and requirements:
1) Is this a critical 24x7 service for which you need to perform an on-line migration or you have a 'maintenance window' during which the service may be switched off?
2) Is the old server member of replication environment? If yes, how many masters/slaves do you have already? Shall the new server be part of this topology? What role shall it have?
3) Would it be possible to make the the old server able to communicate with the new server?
4) How big is the database that you've got to migrate? Do you have any requirement in terms of caches?
5) Do you take backups on a regularly basis and have in place working (*tested*) backup/restore procedures?
6) Is the new server conserving or changing the O.S. and architecture? [SPARC->SPARC, x86->x86, SPARC->x86, Solaris -> ? , 32 .vs. 64-bit? ]
7) What are the steps you did to 'install' the software on the new server?
Thanks,
Marco
P.S.: I don't wanna sound 'scaring' with all these questions, neither this should be intended as an 'hidden advertising' for Oracle Professional/Consulting Services, but the only way to not put in jeopardy your data is being aware of the risks, having the control of what's going on and ... possibly have a 'B' plan ;-)
P.S.S.: My last suggestion is to consider a migration to a later release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; the latest is ODSEE 11.1.1.7, which is available here:

and seems to work pretty well ;-)

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio - Stop, Start, Restart options all Greyed Out

I am a sa and local admin on various SQL Servers. I can see the stop/start/restart etc. options when using lower version tools and also when directly logged onto the servers. However with SQL2012 SP2 MS remotely these options are all greyed out for
all servers. I can confirm that I have effective 'view server state' perms, and also that domain admins can see the options. Why can't I see these options through SQL2012 SP2 MS? Any help appreciated.

What rights do you have on windows machine where SQL server 2012 resides, the one who you want to start stop remotely. Are you connecting SQL server 2012 with SSMS 2012 or some lower version SSMS ?

Audio streaming stops after about 13 minutes.

Audio streaming over the Internet just stops after about 13 minutes and has to be restarted. I need a solution

Thanks for your help! You helped solve the issue, albeit indirectly...
At this point, I want to share my experience, in the hope that it might be helpful to others:
After finding that chapter markers had nothing to do with the problem, I found that indeed my camcorder was set to the dreaded 12 bit. Oh dear! The original DV tape is long gone. (At first I did not expect this to be a problem, since I had made several DVDs successfully with the existing settings, but then there are all these horror stories in discussions about what 12 bit can do to you.)
So to rescue my movie, I found advice to "share" my iMovie back to a fresh DV tape, and then re-import it with the 16 bit setting.
This lead to the next issue: After a number of minutes of re-exporting to DV tape, the video received by the camcorder would freeze, while the audio continued. This happened at several different points in several differerent attempts.
So next I visited iMovie discussions, where I found advice to clean up my Mac. I used Mac Sweeper, and now indeed my Mac runs faster and smoother for many apps. I also downgraded my QuickTime version. But another attempt of exporting from iMovie to DV tape also failed, but now it failed at exactly the same point where the audio stopped in my DVD!!! (Even though on the export-to-DV-tape it was not the audio but the video that froze.)
Next I found that when playing that problematic scene in iMovie, the iMovie program would also freeze at that very point, making it necessary to "force quit" out.
In the end the solution was to chop out the problematic bit in that scene. Now everything works fine, including the iDVD step.

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 4.0 vhost stops frequently

In the past few weeks we noticed in the access logs that vhost keeps stoping frequently. This message is usually followed by server-stop event. Most of these events are recorded late nights or early mornings. I am at loss to understand why it's happening. Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
If the server is idle for a given time as specified in the Server.xml then fmscore core process goes down and "Core is no longer active." is logged in the master log. At the same time, "vhost-stop" event is logged in access log followed by the "server-stop" event.

HTTP Streaming Media Server 4.5 Help

Hi!
We have been using Flash Media Server to successfully stream our local TV station on the internet for a few years.
In the past, we just directed a flash video player client to point to the RTMP live stream on the server.
However, we want to begin supporting iOS devices. I therefore upgraded to version 4.5. (We use RHEL.. Linux FMS Server)
I understand we need to switch over to HTML streaming. To begin, I can't get videos to stream online anymore! At this point I'm not worried about testing on an iOS devices. For purposes of this discussion, I'm just trying to get streaming working again on a flash client on a computer using the Adobe Media Sample Video Player utility. Any path I enter will not show the video stream. I'll provide details below:
On the Flash Media Encoder, it is successfully encoding the stream using VP6 with audio in MP3 (essentially same settings we've always used). Given the new 4.5 server, we are using different values to connect to the server:
fms URL: rtmp://10.16.16.1/livepkgr
stream: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
It has been encoding with no errors for several days.
I can confirm the FMS service is running on the server. Video On Demand works fine from it. Our videos will stream from the VOD application.
However, when we enter the following stream URL from the sample video player: http://10.16.16.1/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m , it fails to connect.
I tried falling back to the old stream path we used just to get the stream working again, which was simply: rtmp://livepkgr/livestream , but this will no longer work either.
I am unable to explain why it's not working.
Any help will be appreciated!!
Alan
P.S. You can test the stream using the server's external IP address of 66.186.186.18 . This path should be working from outside, but it's not: http://66.186.176.18/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m

Hi! Thank you for your reply!
I went ahead and placed the XML file into the web root and the behavior is different. Rather than failing to connect, it will connect, but recieve no data (says "buffering"). The XML file is set for now to allow access from everywhere.
I checked the log files but found no signs of an error:

It appears the only log files being updated are admin and master. These entries are from those two logs. The remaining files (core, etc..) haven't been modified since the 3.5 version of FMS.

Streams stopped after license installed

We just installed Flash Media Server license on our server
and our streams stopped working immediately, but they were working
fine with the development version. Does anyone know what's
happening?

I am actually having the same issue. Using the development
version, I was able to get 4 live streams from our remote locations
into webpage which we use for video conferencing. Worked like a
charm in testing. Once I put in the License, the stream connections
stopped.
The remote locations use Flash Media Encoder 2 to connect to
our server hosting Flash Media Server 3. When trying to connect
without the license, works awesome. With the license added, FME2
gives an "unable to connect" message and FMS3 won't allow the
connection.
The license I have is for Flash Streaming, not Flash
Interactive.
