No RTMP in windows 7

I've freshly installed the FSM 4 on windows7, but the start screen no runnng the rtmp video and the administration console no conecting, why?
my firewalls is down and my ports is open like adobe say... why no workig RTMP and my administration console no working?
ANYBODY?

Soon after the installation, FMS 4.0 will not start its services automatically on Windows 7 owing to the privilege restrictions of OS. (This has been rectified on FMS 4.5).
So, please manually start the following services either through services.msc or command line.
net start fms
net start fmsadmin
or,
the services:
Flash Media Server
Flash Media Administration Server.
Thank you !

Creating an interface with several video windows where a user can connect their own camera to window

Hi,
I posted this in the Flash Media Live encoder Forum and it may have been the wrong place to get an answer.
currently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.
I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.
I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.
This then streams to one of the windows.
I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.
I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.
This works fine to a point.
Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.
I want to create the video instances on the page where:
Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.
Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.
Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.
Can you please provide instructions or guidance on how to begin this process?
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your interest in this kind of workflow.
There are multiple ways to do it. Adobe Connect does this seamlessly.
But to try out few of the latest technlogies, I recommend trying RTMFP. There is a hosted server where you can try out your sample client applications. There is also client application made similar to what you are looking for.

Help installing fms on windows server 2008

Hello,
I have FMS for developper 3.5.4. I have 2 computers:
One called SVR with windows 2008 on it with iis7.
One called PC with windows 7 which is my client.
I would install FMS on the one called SVR beside IIS7.
What I have done:
I install FMS without apache.
I create a flash file with an flvplayback object which have source property set to "rtmp://SVR/vod/sample.flv"
This swf file is in a html file called test.html
When I try to load this test.html I see the flvplayback object which seems seraching. But nothing happened from SVR or PC.
Is it a problem with FMS, with firewall (I open 80,1935 ports).
Thanks to any help or clue !

Adobe Air 3.0 iOS streaming H264/Speex over RTMP -- No Video

Problem:
H264/Speex RTMP stream from Flash Media Server doesn't display video. Audio plays fine.
Conditions:
Adobe Air 3.0
iOS device (iPad 2, iOS4.3)
App settings:
<renderMode>direct</renderMode>
Flash Builder 4.5.1 compiler settings:
-swf-version=13
-target-player=11.0.0
I have tried using both stageVideo and the regular Video object to render an H264 signal streaming from Flash Media Server over rtmp, but with no luck. I can hear the audio, but the video is never rendered.
I CAN see H263 video when streamed over RTMP using this setup (with just the Video object).
I can also stream a locally stored mp4 (H264/AAC) file over rtmp from the iOS device and play it locally just fine (using a stageVideo object).
I have attempted this with both stageVideo (which works fine when streaming an mp4 file from the iOS device) and with the regular Video object (the regular Video object handles H263 just fine streaming down from FMS over rtmp). I've also played around with backgroundAlpha = "0" for this case, all with no luck.
I've followed all the online instructions and tutorials to get this working for the past week, but have not had any luck. I'm happy to post more code, but this approach is fairly straight forward and has been described multiple times around these forums and in the adobe blog posts. It goes like this:
     - instantiate NetConnection (_nc) to FMS and wait for successful connection:
               _ns = new NetConnection();
               _nc.connect(serverAddress);
     - instantiate NetStream (_ns) and connect using NetConnection:
               _ns = new NetStream(_nc);
     - setup listener for StageVideoAvailabilityEvent; if stageVideo becomes available, attach _ns:
              _stageVideo = stage.stageVideos[0];
              _stageVideo = _stageVideo.attachNetStream(_ns);
     - if stageVideo ISN'T available, fall back to Video object:
               _video = new Video();
               _video.attachNetStream(_ns);
               stage.addChild(_video);
     - play netStream app:
               _ns.play(appName);
My renderMode is set correctly ("direct"), and from what I can tell, this isn't a backgroundAlpha issue.
I have seen this problem described elsewhere on this forums and on the net.
I'd like to know from Adobe: are there any compatibility issues with this approach? There doesn't seem to be any type of compatibility chart listing which video codecs and transport protocols are available on the different mobile platforms. Since mobile deployment is so heaviliy fragmented, a descriptive chart or table like this would be helpful for those of us developing -- at least for the main mobile platforms predominantly in use.

Thanks in advance!

I do hope someone from Adobe is "hearing" this, guys. The lack of RTMP-based H.264 video on the Air for iOS is a major problem, indeed.
As Fabio Sonnati mentioned in http://sonnati.wordpress.com/2011/04/26/air-2-6-for-ios-and-video-play back/, AIR for iOS does support HTTP streaming (via HLS) of h.264 videos. However, when streaming via RTMP, AIR for iOS only supports VP6 and Spark – a couple of old, retired codecs.
While HTTP streaming (HLS) seems to be a good option for those who simply want to “play a video” in iOS, I do believe it has some severe limitations, especially for live-communications. I’d like to share some of these thoughts with you.
1. HLS has ridiculously high latency for live videos (around 40 seconds), when compared to RTMP. Although this may not be a problem for on-demand videos, it sure is a great problem for anyone doing serious live-communications applications (such as webconferencing, live webcasting with audience interaction or Skype-like video chats), which require near-zero latency.
2. Perhaps someone can correct me on this (hopefully!), but as far as I know, HTTP streaming will not allow cuepoints to be read from videos. This is particularly painful for anyone doing video-triggered actions, such as slide changes (for webinar apps), subtitling or live closed captioning, etc. I read somewhere that OSMF player allows cuepoints (or "temporal metadata". See http://blogs.adobe.com/osmf/2009/11/cue_point_support_in_osmf.html), but I haven't been able to test it myself.
3. Although HLS it is quite compatible with firewalls (since it flows through port 80), RTMP with tunnelling also flows through port 80 or 443, which adds great compatibility, even on very restricted networks. Our experience with very large clients proves that, hands down.
In other words, HTTP/HLS streaming is Ok. But it simply does *not* fit into every shoe that RTMP does. We do believe that RTMP remains as our best option for live streaming or serious streaming-oriented *apps* (in which things more complex than “mere video playing in a window” actually happen).
That all said, I do believe we should let Adobe know about this need. The fact that RTMP streaming in AIR for iOS is limited to VP6 and Spark, which are two “dead” codecs, still puts us, Air developers, in a very fragile position in terms of what we can accomplish with video in iOS.
I’m sure some of you cheered when you heard about Flash Player 11 having h.264 video encoding. This, (plus the echo cancellation feature that came in 10.3) opened great doors for great Unified-Communication applications to be developed for Flash/Air. Now, it’s undeniable that clients want those applications running on tablets, especially the iPad.
Not being able to use h.264 via RTMP on iOS is certainly a huge step backwards. Anyone shares this same opinion? What do you guys believe to be the best option to let Adobe really know about this need? Is this limitation a simple lack-of-a-feature (which can be fixed by Adobe) or is this some imposed thing by Apple?
Just one final note: Air for Android does *not* have the same limitation. It does allow RTMP streaming of h.264.
Thanks for your attention,

Apache not working with FMS 4.5 on Windows 2008

FMS 4.5.1 Windows 2008 SP2 (64bit).
I've searched everywhere for a possible solution to this, so my apologies if this has been asked before and my thanks for any potential help that anyone can offer to help resolve this.
We are deploying Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.1 on a new server but Apache does not work (does not serve html files or stream Quicktime H.264 files).
      Assorted Problems & Error messages:
1. The webroot/index.html page loads locally, but the HLS/HDS streams result in a 2032 error.
2. The webroot/index.html page does not load from external locations:
     http://63.116.232.5/index.html (does not load externally).
     http://63.116.232.6/index.html (our old server, FMS 4.0 and Windows 2003). Everything on this server works, the 2 major differences being that it is running FMS 4.x on Windows 2003.
Some RTMP streaming works externally and internally (f4v files):
http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:sample1_1 50kbps.f4v
FMS does not stream Quicktime H.264 files even though f4v files work.
   New server (does not work): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:Basketbal l.mov
                              (f4v works): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.5/vod/mp4:sample1_1 50kbps.f4v
Old server (Quicktime/H.264 file works): http://www.librarymedia.net/flash/player.html?source=rtmp://63.116.232.6/vod/mp4:Basketbal l.mov
Apache does not serve Quicktime/H.264 files: I made sure that Apache had all of the correct mime types specified.
    Error messages and attempted solutions:
Apache's erro_log file:
       a. httpd.exe: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
2. FMS master.log file
      a. FMSHttpd -k start returned 1:
Solutions: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName
1a: Edited httpd.conf file to include ServerName 63.116.232.5
1b: The presence of this error message also indicates that Apache httpd was unable to obtain a fully-qualified hostname by doing a reverse lookup on your server's IP address.
In order for the server to accept external connections a reverse DNS lookup needs to be created. I created a reverse DNS lookup and edited the /etc/hosts file to include the IPaddress, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), shortname.
This is the format suggested by the article:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       foo.example.com
Running the nbtstat -a 63.116.232.5 command on the machine results in the following:
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<00> UNIQUE      Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<00> GROUP       Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1C> GROUP       Registered
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<20> UNIQUE      Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1B> UNIQUE      Registered
So the FQDN = WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
I edited the /etc/hosts to the following (with versions using the local host ip 127.0.0.1 and the external ip address, IPv4 is being used):
63.116.232.5 WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I've also read Adobe's port configuration articles and changed the ports that Apache and FMS use as specified in the conf/fms.ini file, but nothing has worked so far. I restored everything to the original settings until I can find out exactly how to fix this.
Thank you.

Ms. Apurva ,
I changed the files back as you suggested (the failure was occuring with the default settings) and our admin assured me yesterday that the ports that I inquired about were open. I'll ask him again.
The telenet command for both ports 80 and 1935 result in Connect failed for me. I'll check Windows Firewall (turned off) and McAfee to see if there is anything there blocking ports.
Confirm that external connections are blocked: 63.116.232.5/index.html (does not open outside of localhost). No problem accessing with our old server (63.116.232.6/index.html).
I ran this command in nmap and here are the results (11 ports closed): nmap 63.116.232.5 -Pn80

Blocking when using RTMPS

While using RTMPS to push large amounts of data to the flash player we've begun seeing deadlock occurring in the FlexClient on the server.
This is the usage:
Destination A:
pushes 1 message every 5 seconds containing an array of 500-5000 objects (each object ~300K)
Destination B:
pushes 1/message/second containing a small object (by small I mean it has at most 10 String or Number fields on them) onto a subtopic
pushes 1/message every 30 seconds containing a list of 10 key-value pairs onto a second subtopic
pushes 1/message every 30 seconds containing a list of 10 key-value pairs onto a third subtopic
JConsole shows the FlexClient blocks in push(). We attached a debugger and found the RTMP endpoint has a tcMessageQueue that has all of the messages in it. During normal execution this queue has 1 or 0 messages in it, but when the threads are blocking the queue grows.
The app can run for several minutes before getting into a blocked state. Other users are not blocked (they are using their own destinations). The flash player itself remains responsive, but simply isn't getting any data. I've looked at the BlazeDS source which shows synchronized blocks on "lock" and on "queue" but I can't see why either of those are blocking "forever".
This is all running LCDS 2.6.1 on both linux and windows servers. Does anybody have any similar issues? Any suggestions on what's causing the FlexClient to block?

I tried to run it in a separate thread:
executionMgr = new ExecutionManangementRunnable(listener, process);
               Callable callable = Executors.callable(executionMgr, null);
               FutureTask future = new FutureTask(callable);
               Thread thread = new Thread(future);
               thread.setDaemon(true);
               thread.start();
               try {
                    future.get(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
               } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO handle catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
               } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                    // TODO handle catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
               } catch (TimeoutException e) {
                    // TODO handle catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
               }I still get the same problem with main thread being blocked. Does anyone know why?'

RTMPS in Chrome and Firefox/Linux

I've been working with the Beginning AS3 Tutorial which streams a video from Flash Media Server. I've been trying to enable RTMPS for this demo and it works correctly in Firefox and IE on Windows (usingTLS == true) but does not work (usingTLS == false) in Firefox on Linux and Chrome on Windows.
Does anyone know if Flash does not currently support either of these browsers?
I've verified against Openssl using s_client connect that the certificate chain was properly installed from the website's wildcard certificate -> intermediate certificate -> root certificate.
Why doesn't it work in all browsers on all platforms?

At the first sight it looks like Flash Player issue - can you post of Flash Player forum to see if they are aware of any such issue.

Flash streamed via RTMP (using Flowplayer) does not work; does in IE 9.

I have the latest Flash plug-in and Firefox 6.0.2. Flash files from YouTube work. However, Flash in Flowplayer -- using RTMP streaming -- does not load.
The following page works with latest version of Flash in IE 9:
http://www.3xconversionformula.com/replay/short
However, it simply will not load in Firefox.
I do NOT have any ad blocking plugins, etc.
The Flowplayer page actually allows you to test HTTP vs RTMP vs no streaming and Firefox hangs on RTMP. So, I believe I have found out what the bug is for you, but updating Flash will not remedy the situation. It seems to be a Firefox problem.

AVG 9.0 is installed and the video (Flash in Flowplayer) works with IE 9 and Chrome.
Flash video works in Firefox, but not all Flash files. Flash in Firefox works with YouTube, Adobe's Flash website, and various other places, but not everywhere.
2 URL's are supplied above that contain Flash content that does not work with my Windows 7 (64-bit) Intel Core i7 Toshiba laptop with NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.
On the Flowplayer website -- someone who should know how to properly implement their player with Flash -- Flash does work with Firefox when HTTP and no streaming are used. However, nobody seems to note that this does not work for RTMP streaming.
So, Flash works -- sometimes -- but not all the time. However, the VERY same Flash files DO work on SAME laptop with SAME firewall and no problems with IE 9 and Chrome. Bottom line: RTMP streaming seems to be the issue with Firefox as pointed out on the following website:
http://flowplayer.org/setup/index.html
Attached images:
1. HTTP Streaming
2. RTMP Streaming - Faulty
3. No Streaming
NOTE: Website states, "RTMP The most advanced video streaming technology today."
The following 2 videos will not work with my Firefox:
http://www.3xconversionformula.com/replay/short -- uses Flowplayer as its Flash player.
http://www.schedulicity.com/Essentials/Video-Gallery.aspx -- uses Brightcove as its Flash player.
YouTube works. Also, the Brightcove website itself does work. So, its the implementation of Flash players -- not Flash itself -- that seems to be the problem. However, its not a problem with old versions of Firefox, nor IE 9 or Chrome.

API Not returning all RTMP ingest endpoints

The web portal shows both URLs for RTMP
rtmp://etcetc.channel.mediaservices.windows.net:1935/live/...
rtmp://etcetc.channel.mediaservices.windows.net:1936/live/...
but the API (ex - myChannel.Input.Endpoints) only returns a single one (...:1935).
Any reason why the web portal and the API don't return the same info?

Hi,

CLOSING CMD WINDOW RUNNING FMLECmd

I have created a .bat file to start 2 instances of FMLE.
echo off
start "camera2" cmd /Min /k "C:\users\jay starnes\desktop\test.bat"
echo off
start "camera1" cmd /Min /k "C:\users\jay starnes\desktop\laptoptest.bat"
everything works fine. I need to close the cmd windows that are opened after i am done streaming. I am looking to do it in a seperate .bat.
Is this possible.
I am trying to create it as a one click process so that i can run and stop with one click.
thanks in advance.

You can try this:
1. cmd.exe /c fmlecmd.exe -> 1st batch file to launch FMLE
2. cmd.exe /c fmlecmd.exe /s rtmp://localhost/live+livestream -> 2nd batch file with fmle uid to stop the FMLE launched by the 1st batch file
Cmd windows will close automatically.

Problems with the latest windows installer?

FMS *sigh* FML
I am trying to get live streaming running on my windows 7 machine (as full admin; permissions shouldn't be an issue)
- Windows install
- No serial/Development server version
- Yes Appache
- Admin, password...
- Default, default, default...ect, GO.
Out of box, nothing worked - localhost just laughed at me with a blank ("could not connect") page and the FMS admin page was no better "Login attempt to the server below failed...etc". Then I found that [root]/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf came straight from the installer like this
# Please see httpd.conf.orig for the configuration of a default
# (non-FMS) installation of apache.
Listen 8134
# If you plan to run FMS as root on linux, you _must_ specify a
# valid user, with access to the FMS installation direction, or
First off - Isn't that supposed to be set to 80? Also, httpd.conf had no definition for ServerRoot - I am no apache expert (that cannot be overstated) but everytime i've used it, i've needed to define this.
Anyway, I figured I had nothing to lose and so armed with essentially my mom's working knowledge of Apache's .conf schema, I went in and changed "Listen 80" and added a definition for ServerRoot, reset and...tada...finally, localhost would resolve to that FMS startup page. But that doesn't mean much because I get a timeout/failure on the rtmp demo (sure the http demo works but who cares; ignf about http). But that makes sense because the FMS admin page STILL can't connect to localhost (or localhost:1111 for that matter) so there was no server instance to connect to anyway...[Jason slumps; a broken man].
Anyway - anyone have any insight? Same problems += soultion?

Hi,
Thank you for trying FMS.
Though you mentioned you have the admin access on your windows 7 machine, I still doubt the admin privileges are the cause of the problem for you. Let's take your issues one by one.
After the FMS installation, the installer gives options to start the service automatically (few check boxes to select). But on Windows 7, that wont work straight away even though you are logged in as admin. What you need to do is to open a command prompt (with run as administrator). So, your command prompt is actually elevated with admin stuff. Now try to start the fms services as below :
c:\> net start fms
c:\> net start fmsadmin
Once you get the successful messages, try to make connections, it should work.
Next, the apache that comes along with FMS runs/listens on 8134 itself. Port 80 is taken over by the FMS processes (to be exact, the FMSEdge process) which will redirect all HTTP traffic to Apache on 8134 and all the RTMP traffic to itself (to be exact, to FMSCore process) and hence you can keep the 8134 intact.
Once your services start correctly, there wont be any port conflict/problems.
Please try and let us know if that helps.
Thank you !

[Flex] RTMP-Server failed to start up

We are trying to deploy a Flex Dataservices 2.01 applicaton
on Solaris 10/Weblogic 8.1 SP5 and have run into this problem. Does
anybody know how to fix it? Thanks.

You are only deploying one Flex web application on Tomcat?
Maybe the web application is getting deployed twice for some
reason.
Have you tried looking at what ports are in use prior to
starting the server in Eclipse? This might be a good sanity test.
Running "netstat -a" will give you this on Windows.
We usually see this when two web applications have the same
channel configuration information by mistake. Not sure what is up
in this case.

RTMP Streaming Works, HTTP Streaming Does Not

I am using the following to stream video live:
- Windows Server 2008 with Flash Media Server 5.
- Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2
- This tutorial step by step to setup the manifests: Stream live multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash and iOS - YouTube
- In FMLE the following settings:
     - H264 Format, Main Profile, Level 3.1, Keyframe freq 4, 150, 500 and 1000 kpbs bit rates.
     - FMS URL: rtmp://<my-static-ip>/livepkgr
     - Stream: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent
- The liveevent.f4m and liveevent.m3u8 files are saved in the webroot folder
- Built in administrator console OSMF video player, with the following URL: http://<my-static-ip>/livepkgr/liveevent.f4m
FMLE is saying it connects without issue and that it publishes, and the server shows that the stream is connecting in the admin console. The one thing that does not appear to work is playing the stream back itself. I've tried any number of different URLS to play the stream, none work, they just give me a generic "We are having problems with playback. We appologize for the inconvenience." I know the stream connects because when I replace http://<my-static-ip>/livepkgr/liveevent.f4m with rtmp://<my-static-ip>/livepkgr/liveevent it plays the rtmp version.
Is there some further configuration I am missing on the server side? Something else I am missing?

Still nothing I can verify the embedded player is trying to access the stream URL I setup. I can still verify stream publishing in the admin console, but I cannot embed the video, still getting the same generic error.. I am streaming to my private server running Windows Server 2008 R2 that I host multiple sites with. I am beginning to think the URL doesnt recognize that I am trying to access the webroot folder for the manifests, but I don't know how to tell if this is the case or how to change this setting. Can anyone provide me an example of a proper html code to embed a video using the FMLE stream I am publishing that they can verify works with a similar setup to what I have?

LCDS startup is slow on Windows 7 PC

Hi,
We have been using LCDS Express in our product with Tomcat web server. We have been noticing that if we do not start LCDS Message broker
servlet from Tomcat, it starts in ~7 seconds
If we start Message Broker Servelet (and LCDS), startup of Tomcat server is taking ~1 min.
We enabled Flex Server side Logging and seeing that LCDS is taking time to bring up "rtmp channel" possibly. From the logs it seems like this rtemp channel initialization and listening to port 2038 takes about ~8-10 sec each. Another possible area where it is taking time is probably in initializing remote java classes which provide remove methods (about 75 our own java classes defined in remote-config.xml).
This we are experiencing on Windows 7 PC. Rebooting is also not solving the issue on some of this PC.
Also on some other desktops (Win XP or Win 7), sometimes it gets into this kind of slow startup issue and persistent unless we reboot the PC/laptop.
Is this known issue ? Or Is there something we are doing wrong ? services-config.xml and other config files are pretty much like the default one. Not really modified any core settings of channel or endpoints.
How do we make startup of LCDS faster ? Currently this delays our application startup due to this underlying problem and it is very fustrating for users to wait such a long time before they can use it.
thanks for your help.

We only support Windows 7 in LCDS 3.1. Please try with LCDS 3.1 and let us know if you have any problems.
Thanks,
Anil

Reg: HTTP and RTMP when these are in Network Delays

Video streaming in HTTP and RTMP, which one performs better when delays are introduced. Streaming from one PC to other PC through LAN. Here i introdced delays in both HTTP and RTMP streaming. So, far i have seen RTMP is quite good in low delay variations such as -+10ms. Here Qn is which is better when high delays are introduced.
Thanks in Advance,
