Physical BL460c slow media server

Hi,
We installed a standalone Media Server in a HP c7000 Blade enclosure. It is a HP ProLiant BL460c G7 Server Blade
The Engineer encouneterd a slow response when scanning on the SAN/ IBM Tape Library /VTLenvironment is conducted. The server reboot is extremely slow.
The problem we encounter with the Media server is that it has a unresponsive slow performance as soon as more than 16 drivers are connected when zoning of VSAN to IBM Tape is conducted. The scanning time constraint is more than 30 minutes. This is only server Build and zoning-no more. Network has 10GB sfp’s. No issue. It is only the Media server that has problems. What could the issue be as I was informed by the Engineer that the latest Firmware has been deployed on the Server including the drivers/HBA’s etc? Will it be a compatibility issue in terms of the IBM Tape Library?
The media server does not connect directly to the Tape Library which is a model TS3500.
Fibre Channel connection to SAN-EMC VMAX Connected to Cisco MDS 9513 switches. Veritas storage foundation (Cluster file system) Active passive Dbase Microsoft clustering. .Netbackup Media server over SAN-Symantec NBU Enetrprise 7.0 to backup SQL Dbases. Media server is connected to SAN CISCO switch to IBM Tape Library. Tape speed is 4GB.HBA”s in server and storage array is 8GB SFP’s Model AJ716A (Emulex).
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Record playback is very slow between Flash Media Server and Flash

hi all
I have done server side recording successfully with red5 flash media server and can see
that the flv record is being created properly.
Then if I try to playback the record like
NetStream.play("record.flv"), I see that stream playing is very very
slow, for both of audio and video.
And then if I try to playback the recorded file via using the
filesystem path of it, everthing seems fine.
Problem occurs when I try to sucscribe and play the stream of the record.
PS : There is no problem with playing the published stream
(NetStream.play("streamName"))
Does anyone have an idea about this issue?
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards

In a nutshell flowplayer delivers the video through your web
browser. It does this via http protocol (port 80) and progressive
download on any web server
Progressive download finds the video on the server and plays
it back through the player as it is being downloaded. 2 important
things to take from this are 1, the video is being downloaded to
the clients hard drive, at the end of the playback they will have a
copy of your video that they can do whatever they like to and
repost it somewhere else. 2, It plays back as it downloads, meaning
if I'm viewing a 10 minute video from your site and want to skip
ahead to the middle or end I have to wait for the whole video to
download before viewing those segments. Your web host by the way
will love you for progressive download because it will appear as
though your transfer rate has gone through the roof. Once the
request for the video is made there is no turning back, the client
gets the whole thing whether they watch it or not.
Flash media server uses the rtmp protocol. This protocol is
an open socket protocol through port 1935. This is a two way street
essentially. When the user views a video using FMS they basically
get only enough of the video to keep the connection open and
satisfy the required buffer to assure clean playback. The bytes of
info that carry the video only go to the users memory, not the hard
drive. This allows the user to jump back and forth around in the
movie without having to wait for the whole thing to download.
Hope that helps.

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

Can't get remote cluster machine to encode video - getting 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit'

Hi
Using Compressor 4 / Apple QuarterMaster admin etc, I have set up a Cluster and it works well to Share > Export Using Compressor Settings. That took some doing, and I'm happy that it works.
If I do all my processing in the foreground, or alternatively in the background on my FCPX computer, ie without running or using any cluster in the background, it all goes well. Quick, error free.
If I activate the cluster and only put my local machine's compressor services into it, and then send my compressor batch to the cluster, it works perfectly well. But that defeats the point of having a cluster. I want the remote machine to do all the work so my local machine doesn't slow down.
Unfortunately, if I add the remote machine's services into the cluster, the encoding always fails with 'Media Server application unexpectedly quit' in the error log. I know that the cluster is distributing segments of the file to the remote machine - this can be seen in the Share Monitor, but they never get processed and sit there waiting until I get the error message.
The remote machine is a modern 4G core 2 duo MacBook. It's never been used for this before. It has Compressor 4 and the Pro Apps Update installed and both appear to work. Both machines are running 10.6.8. The remote machine has Compressor services initialised in Apple QMaster sharing. The QMasterAdmin sees these services. They are accessible over Bonjour and appear in the Cluster. Compressor services from both the local and the remote machine are configured exactly the same way. The same QT codecs exist on both machines. I've restarted, shift-restarted, etc etc.
So I am at a loss here. The remote machine just won't compress anything it is sent.
Any ideas? Must both have FCPX installed?
Anyone actually got a remote machine in a cluster to work with Compressor 4? I can't figure it out.
Chris.

OK... finally sorted it out.
It's a bug, as far as I can tell.
Any job entered directly into Compressor 4 in the normal Compressor manner will be successfully rendered by any working cluster from any machine that can access the cluster. That's good. It means that the underlying distributed processing model works well.
HOWEVER - any job forwarded to a Compressor 4 cluster that includes non-local compressor services (ie compressor services not resident on the same machine), using Share > Export Using Compressor Settings direct from FCPX will fail.
To confirm this bug, I made a cluster on a remote machine. It was a dual core machine, so I enabled 2 compressor services on that machine, and that's all the cluster was. Simple.
I then manually entered a video file (ProRess 422 720p) into Compressor on the remote machine. I did this by physically setting up new job using the compressor user interface. A bog standard ProRes422 720p file rendered fine this way on the remote machine. As did anything else I gave it. Good.
Then on my main machine, I opened Compressor and made a job based on the same file and settings, and sent it to the remote machine's cluster. No problem at all! Great!
So now I know that both Compressor versions, and the clustering model, are working fine. In fact I can send all sorts of files to the cluster, from any other version of compressor, and have them processed on the remote machine, and get the result back on my desktop later on. Excellent.
But, if I try put this same file into a FMPX timeline, and go Share > Export Using Compressor Settings.... and select a cluster with remote (non-local) compressor services, it does not work. Rendering the video segments on the remote machine times out and fails, every time. It doesn't matter what file format I use, it just fails.
So it's a bug.
From what I can tell, Final Cut Pro X somehow messes up the Share > Export Using Compressor settings where the cluster includes non-local compressor services, causing all jobs to fail. The same Share > Export Using Compressor Settings will work quite happily if all the services on the cluster are on the same machine as FCPX, or if the job is sent to This Computer in the background. But any attempt to send files to a cluster using any remote services will fail.
I hope this saves some people from wasting as much time as I have!
One workaround is to export to ProRes then put this file manually into Compressor, sending the job to the remote cluster. This is a two step process with a large intermediary ProRes file. If one goes Export as QuickTime movie, generating the intermediary file prevents further FCPX work being done.
To get the intermediary in the background one could use Share > Export Using Compressor Settings via either This Computer, or to a cluster using only local services. Then once complete, manually add it to a compressor job.
So this is a FCPX bug as far as I can tell.
Chris.

Using Arch as a media server

I plan to use Arch as a media server, for an Arch-based media center at my TV.
I don't want to deal with RAID, so I'm planning on running large single-partition disks to hold media, each with a slightly bigger disk for doing rsync incremental backups. For serving the media I'll be running openSSH and mounting the media volumes over SFTP from the media center.
I'll also be running a webserver on this machine. Someone suggested that I run the webserver on a virtual machine to segment it securely from my precious media.
Does all of this sound like a fine idea?
Last edited by Slax (2010-09-02 11:13:30)

Going back to Slax's original post:
I would recommend using raid and/or lvm partitions on the server, they really aren't that hard to administer/setup and they offer you much easier scalability in terms of storage space. I mean, you can grow an LVM volume (and then grow the fs partition on top of it) quite easily if you just stick another disk in the server. But if you replace a disk on a physical harddrive's partition, you have to copy the contents of that entire partition to a hardrive on a newly partitioned hard-disk.
You can also shrink other lvm volumes to make room to grow a different volume (but then you have to be careful of the filesystem you use on top of the LVM volume, some filesystems, e.g. XFS can't be shrunk). Raid can also potentially speed up disk access times, depending on the Raid level and/or CPU bottlenecks. (Raid 4/5/6 all have a significant CPU overhead for parity calculations on write).
I would also point out that Samba/CIFS offers another way to share files over your network, which will also allow windows-running computers to access your files shares. Also, Samba/CIFS has a reasonably easy to setup password-authenticated security model. On the other hand, non-authenticated NFS is dead easy to setup, and securing NFS might not be harder than setting up Samba for any purpose. Basically, I'd recommend Samba if you're interested in sharing in files between Windows-running computers and your server, otherwise NFS is probably a better choice.

Xperia Neo media server doesn't work anymore with Sony Bravia TV after ICS update!

Xperia Neo (MT15i) updated from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 (4.1.B.0.431). I did not perform any reset (factory settings) after the update.
Media server does not work anymore with Sony Bravia TV KDL40-NX700. With 2.3.4 it worked correctly before.
When I start the media server on my Xperia Neo and try to view my photos on my Bravia TV it shows connection, I am also able to view different folders on the Smartphone but when it tries to load the photos in any folder on the Smartphone it stops working after a while. Feedback on TV is "cannot connect to media sever". The same procedure worked without any problems when using 2.3.4 before.
Is this a known issue and is there any solution for this?

Wow that is a new one, great find!
I wish I had tested that with my Ray, as I had used the media server feature quite a bit with my DirecTV receiver when on Gingerbread. But too late, it's on the way back to Sony to get rolled back to Gingerbread.
Too many other problems with ICS that have crippled my device.
1) Wi-Fi Hotspot does not work anymore
2) USB tethering does not work anymore
3) LED notification issues for incoming SMS
4) Dialer slow to load
5) HD Video recording skip frames and jitter.
6) Bluetooth AVRCP profile broke (can't use the play/pause button on my car stereo anymore)
If you have not done so take a look at the above features and see what you turn up.

Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players?

Hi,
... and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond. I am evaluating different protocls for different client platforms, and I'd like to know the following...
Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players? (It appears that RTMP does. However, what about HDS? What about HLS?)
Why is it that some do and some don't? (Intuitively, this would seem to be more an issue of the player than the protocol, but then maybe it has something to do with the buffers and the specific information passed to the client.)
For those protocols that do support frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players, does the addition of Access DRM protection have any effect? (Intuitively, I would say no, but then maybe there are configuration changes needed in AMS to make it work.)
Thanks!

I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

EA4500 router and media server file limit

I purchased an EA4500 router yesterday and it arrived today. Set it up, copiued my media library over to a new Seagate Expansion drive (2 TB) and it currently is filled with 320GB of files. Music folder, Pictures folder and Video folder. Thing is only some of the files are showing up. Looks very much like some stupid limitation on file numbers. I specifically purchased this router because of the media server and now it is useless.
Is there a fix for this sillyness? I can't seem to find a way to turn the file limit off. I truly hope I haven't purchased another rubbish router. The TP Link router I replaced had no such file size limit and was 2/3 of the price, easily.
Yours, not amused

Yes, I checked that before I bought myself a Seagate Expansion drive 2TB. The router list shows 1.5 and 3TB drives in that range and I would say that the 2TB is veyr likely to be supported also.
The files are bog standard file types! Some files show up but not all of them.
FLAC (you missed that filetype off the supported audio types btw) and MP3 show up but not all of them.
MPEG2 files show and play..but not all are visible.
None of my images in my photo library show up and they are all JPEG. No esoteric file formats.
It seems though that the media server just doesn't show anything after it reaches a file limit. It really isn't up to anything much if that is the case and for the money that router should be better. Furthermore, the folders with audio albums in doesn't display the contects in the correct alphanumeric order. I was playing an album by Cassandra Wilson and immediately noticed that the songs were in the wrong order. Something totall wrong there...the server has to be displaying them like that.
I have Marantz CR603 all-in-one hif fis in 3 different rooms in the house (living room and two bedrooms). Sometimes 2 can connect simultatenously but 3 won't as the server falls over. Even with two units connected it will suddenly disconnect for no reason. My connection isn't slow It is fast anbd yet accessing the media server is very very slow and especially simultatenous access.
It seems to me that the media server element is a stripped down token effort but all the sales garb for the router doesn't mention aything about its silly limitations.
I think the best thing for me to do now is return this to Amazon for a full refund and find another brand of router. It was bad enough 'adjusting' to the cloud managment - a firmware download initiated on install and installed that. Some of the config pages don't work properly (that needs an urgent fix as well...IP address fields with only 3 fields that won't allow you to enter last 3 octets of address and you can't apply setting) and the dumbned down way of presentating the options makes it a pain to setup if you are used to the usual way of setting up a router. If I setup a router manually it takes a fraction of the time that the hand holding setup nonsense takes. I get the idea, and it looks pretty and all big buttony how everyhting is going these days but there should be a seriously 'normal' advanced mode for people that don't require their hands held through the setup and configuration.
Very dissappointed. It's a fast router as well.

WRT350N USB Media server File size limit?

I've checked over the forum to see if I found anything else regarding it (with only one similar discussion). I'm running a WRT350N router with a terabyte USB drive (formatted to NTFS) connected (in media server mode) which is then all working with a DLink media player connected to my TV. The setup is all working fine up to a point. I can play music easily through my TV off my media setup. However, I've noticed if I attempt to upload a video file larger than I believe 2 gigs it causes the whole setup to die. I can physically upload the file via a mapped network drive but then once I rescan the drive, and attempt to use the DLink, it tells me I have no media available. If I delete any files over 2 gigs off my usb drive, and then rescan the drive, everything starts working again and I can play smaller videos. I've connected the USB drive even directly to the DLink media player and it'll play 4-5gb videos just fine. It seems it's the WRT350N's ability to handle files above 2gbs on the USB feature. Is the WRT350N only able to relay files under 2gbs through the media server usb feature? Any ideas? Thanks Message Edited by rv888 on 12-29-2007 10:53 AM

My "work around" was that I also have a Buffalo Linkstation Live with a built-in media server. The Linkstation connects to the network by ethernet. I formatted my USB drive to XFS (the same as the Linkstation) and plugged it into a USB port on the Linkstation. I now have my media network working. It is still buggy though, as every once in a while the setup will just stop working. After some time, it comes back. This wasn't my #1 method I wanted, but it works.

Home media server

Hi
could someone please tell me where can i download the Nokia Home Media Server from... I got the disk with my N95 8 GB but my DVD Drive is not working so i can't install it from there... plus I also tried installin that simple centre but that's really slow...
Is there any place I can download the home media server from...????
Thanks in advance

Is there a ban on all mention of the Home Media Server ??? I have not yet found one single explanation of what it really is, or does, how to find and download it. Was it once part of Ovi Suite? Is it a rebadged piece of software???
I have an E72 with dlna and wnat to use it to show images on my 24" PC screen - a pretty logical thing to do, I should have thought!?

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.

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!

Question About Time Capsule as Media Server

Hi,
I am debating purchasing the 1TB Time Capsule. I would put all of my media and photos on the drive and use it as a Media Server. However, I'd like to verify what this thing can and cannot do before I purchase it. If anybody can comment on if TC can accomplish these tasks, I would appreciate it.
1) Will I be able to stream the TC content to my Apple TV?
2) I have a Macbook that goes with me when I travel. If I got the TC, no media content would live on my Macbook, but I'd like to access the content on the TC from the road. If I have a Mobile Me account, will I be able to access the media content on the TC from my Macbook?
3) I have a server that hosts my website, and my current router has Port Forwarding. Can you configure port forwarding with the TC?
4) I understand you can attach a USB drive to the TC. I'd like to hang a drive off of the TC to back it up. I thought I read you can do this, but has anybody found an automated way to do this? Are there any backup programs (Deja Vu or Backup) that can use the TC as a source and a TC USB drive as a target?
I appreciate any assistance with my questions.
Thanks

I have my TC set up as a wireless media server. I have over 800 movies and a huge music library. I Stream to my computer and to my apple TV via Itunes on my imac
Pros- since I have almost all apple stuff, IMAC, Apple TV. The installation and streaming is flawless and very easy.
COns- The TC is extremely slow to write to. So getting stuff on it takes forever even if you use a LAN cable. Once it is on -no problems.
Since the TC is so slow itunes will sometimes show things as not being there when it does a quick scan or not playable. This is remedied by just restarting itunes once the TC harddrive is up to speed.
Price- You can get a wireless router and a 1TB external for $150 and have a faster machine that does the same thing without all the speed problems.
I was a little MAC crazy when the TC came out and bought it before the reviews were out. IN hindsight I would have just bought a wireless router and an external and saved myself the money. But I have it and it works. Kindof like a mule.

Problrm with Home Media Server

Hi,
I have problem wit Home Media Server). When I want to synce something it stops on 0%.I can weit a bit but it helps not.It showes me that the synce is complete but nothings in my computer.
When I want tu transfer music than it finds the server and everythings fine but whit pictures it showes me that he cant find a server. My phone model is 5630 Xpress Music

I upgraded my Nokia Home Media Server by downloading and installing Simplecenter 4.2 (available at several download sites, just google for it). When I switched on Home Media Server on my N95-1, Simplecenter recognised it immediately.
I can now browse files on my PC from my N95-1, select a photo, video or music file and play it on the phone. (Remembering to select Options - Play On Device, otherwise the file details appear on my phone but it actually appears/plays on the PC!).
Operating from the PC doesn't seem to work though: I can't get Simplecenter to show the files on the phone. If I select Device - Copy From Device (which should produce a list of files on the phone), Simple Center scans and then tells me I have "0 items", - whereas in fact my phone has over 2000 tracks!
It is rather slow at finding files and to transferring them. It is unable to connect to the internet (to access Simplecenter's Music Store and find the list of supported devices).
I do wish Nokia would solve this connectivity problem by releasing their Home Music Manager device which streams over wi-fi, connecting your phone to your hi-fi, TV, PC and the internet. This device has been shown in Nokia's online store for over a year, unpriced and unavailable.

Quantum Media Server Loses Saved Shows and Reboots

Back in Jan-2015, I upgraded to the Quantum service with one media server and two clients. Everything worked generally fine until a week and a half ago. Suddently, all saved shows on the DVR mysteriously vanished, and the media server went into a re-boot frenzy for about a half an hour. So, I ordered a replacement, installed it, everything was fine for a week, and yesterday, THIS media server lost all saved shows and now has random re-boots multiple times per day. Waiting for a 3rd media server to show up tomorrow. In the mean time, the only way to watch TV is to view it on one of the client boxes since the server has super slow response to any remote action. During a reboot, the clients provide NO TV service. I was told by a tech that there is a 'bug' in the system right now. This is a VERY SERIOUS BUG.

Called tech support and they said that my service had been disabled because a new Quantum media server was due to arrive on the same day.Got the new server (3rd in two weeks) on Thu. So far, Quantum TV service is functioning properly including DVR, Guide, client boxes, etc.Hope this lasts for a long time now.
