Questions on the capabilities of the Adobe media server and system requirements

Hello
We need to send multiple video streams on different computers and screens in our organization. To do this, we need a dedicated server with the following functionality:
- transmit up to ten (or even more) HD and FullHD streams simultaneously
- manage playlists in real time without relaunching stream every time after adding items to the playlist
- imposing of any text and video effects
- use a variety of sources: a folder with pictures for the slideshow, video and audio files, video capture devices, video streaming from other resources
Is Adobe media server suitable for our tasks?
What are the system requirements (I do not mean minimum requierements)?
If we buy adobe media server, will it be enough? Or we will have to buy additional software products to provide all the necessary functionality?
Thank you.

1 and 2 is possible
3 is not
4 AMS is not an encoder and does not encode or create streams.You have to use other software for that.Adobe FMLE is for live streaming...Use third part software like manycam(a virtual webcam on your machine) to generate video sources out of slide shows.

  • Timecode/TimeStamp in RTMP live streaming using Adobe Media Server and FMLE

    HI There,
    Am trying to stream a video on to Adobe media server(using RTMP) through FMLE and play it on my web site using JWPlayer. i could stream the video successfully, but know i want to get the timestamp/timecode on the stream. does Adobe media server and FMLE support this kind of use-case ? if not is there any other way to achieve the same. any comments/suggestion/pointers appreciated .
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Deepak

    If you're talking about nonstop, continuous streaming, your subscribing client will need to close and reconnect the stream every couple of days, as the server will run out of timestamps for the stream.

  • Adobe Media Server and the Authentication Add-In

    The Authentication Add-In (used to authenticate Adobe Live Media Encoders connecting to FMS) will not install with Adobe Media Server because it looks for Flash Media Server and does not recognise Adobe Media Server.
    Is there a workaround or a new version of the Authentication Add-In?

    The new auth plugin still doesn't work against Wirecast/FM 1.0 agents. The only way I was able to block these agents was through the main.asc file you put in your application. On the function application.onConnect insert this
    if( (p_client.agent.search("Wirecast")!=-1) || (p_client.agent.search("FM 1")!=-1) )
            trace (p_client.agent + " FM 1.0/Wirecast agent detected ...rejecting connection from "+p_client.ip);
            return false;
    How do you require WireCast agents to be forced to enter a password?
    Where/how do you put this action script, does anyone have any examples?

  • QTSS/Adobe Media Server and Hardware Optimization

    HI all,
    I am trying to make an informed choice between deploying either QTSS (free and on Mac) or Adobe Media Server (about $20,000 and on Linux). In our application we will have about 700 simultaneous connections to our service. About 400 of these users will be viewing one of four live video feeds (from presenters at an expo). The remaining users will hold one-to one video chats through our site. We have direct fiber bandwidth of 100megs and our video streams are held to 320x240 at 15fps. I have extensive Mac experience and currently use XServe for our other web service. I have three main questions.
    1) Does anyone have suggestions/experience on the use of QTSS instead of Adobe Media Server in this size application?
    2) If QTSS is used, how many servers and what configurations would you recommend for balancing this size workload?
    3) What load balancing hardware would be appropriate for this project if multiple servers are needed?
    I really appreciate any help that might be offered. Thanks

  • Adobe Media Server and Multiple Storage Drives

    We are running Adobe Media Server 5.  We have had one disk location for all media files up until now, but we are outgrowing our storage and need to begin having multiple volumes. 
    We need a way to specify that some files live on another drive.  We are at a college, and we want to have all of our nursing video on one volume by itself to free up disk space.
    for example, we have always had everything in http:\\domain\vod\nursing or http:\\domain\vod\username.  We need to move http:\\domain\vod\nursing to e:\webroot\vod\nursing, but have everything else continue to work.  It's on the same server. 
    We have been on the phone for hours with Adobe support and have gotten nowhere. 
    We have tried adding a new application with the virtual directory set to e:\webroot\vod\nursing,
    declaring variables in ams.ini, changing the httpd.conf file, etc.  We have not had any luck. 
    Everything always points back to this document: 
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/configadmin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2925 e64-7fc7.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2926bcf-7fea
    We haven't had any luck with following those directions, and adobe support essentially told us they had never heard of this use case? 
    Any advice would be helpful. 
    Thanks!
    Joni

    I talked to our support team and asked them to coordinate with you....And setting up virtual directory should be easy stuff.

  • Can I use google analytics with an Adobe media server 5 setup?

    But as mentioned there, some older versions are available, but I think you'll have to figure a way to run your version on the older OS.

  • Pusblish Abode Connect meeting records (.flv) over Adobe Media Server - What is the easiest way?

    Hi,
    my name is Robin Schröder. I am a member of the univertity “Hochschule Hamm Lippstadt” from Germany.
    We r using the adobe connect already. We wanna create offline videos of meeting records and publish them over adobe media server. The offline videos are in the .flv format.
    Do I have to convert the .flv into mp4 (h264 & AAC) before streamable with hds and hls?
    I read about f4fpackager that this program can convert .flv into .f4m – but it failed with error 999….. I checked the .flv file with flvcheck before: success!
    The sample Video worked fine.
    So my question:
    We wanna publish all .flv recordings over the Adobe Media Server (VODs). What is the easiest way to achieve this?
    Convert .flv in a streaming format (mp4?) - HOW?
    Create multi-bitrate versions from the video - HOW?
    Create f4m file for adaptive bitrate streaming - manually?
    Publish hds & hls URL in the html site (decryption for url possible?)How can I realize a iPad/iPod/iPhone switch in the html Code for HLS/HDS switch?

  • How to pass an image from the mobile application to the Adobe Media Server?

    The image is taken as photo from the CameraUI in the Client Side(AIR Mobile Application) and saved as a .jpg file in the mobile. I passed the image byte array values from the client to the server. How to convert that byte array to a file in the Adobe Media server?

    This is very similar to the problem here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/655314
    processByteArray = function(byteArrayAsPlainObject){
         // byteArrayAsPlainObject is an object serialized from a ByteArray but without functions
         // we need to get a ByteArray that we can call functions on
         var usableByteArray = new ByteArray();
         byteArrayAsPlainObject.position = 0; // make sure we start from the beginning
         ByteArray.prototype.readBytes.call(byteArrayAsPlainObject, usableByteArray);
         // now usableByteArray contains what was in the original argument, but we can actually use it on the server side

  • How do I edit the permissions that Adobe Media Server creates directories with?

    OS: CentOS 6.6 AWS-provided AMI found here
    I'm using Adobe Media Server 5.0.7.
    I have my application set up so that when a user records a video to the server, it goes into its own directory.
    If this directory does not exist, it is created automatically by AMS. The problem is that this new directory is created with a permission level that prevents my other app from reading and accessing objects inside of it.
    How can I tell AMS to create directories with a permissions level that I specify?

    I was reading up about nellymoser on Wikipedia (the most reliable source!) and it seems like Adobe has problems with the licensing for nellymoser. They apparently tried to release a standalone converter, but the licence agreement that was inherited with the codec didn't allow it.
    So maybe it's just a rock in a hard place situation. Really too bad, if this is the case, that a company can own something but not be able to allow their customers to use it fully.

  • Adobe Media Server pro 5 Scalabiltiy Requirements with respect to the number of clients connected

    what are the hardware requirements mapped to the number of clients connected to a vritual server running on a Windows 2008 R2 Server? At what point should the scaling be done, what are the best practices? The encoding rate used is 360 Kbps.

    Hi Simon
    The HTTP (HDS and HLS) streaming and recording limit in Adobe Media Server 5 Starter is 10 min. You'll need to buy a serial key if you want to record/stream for longer. Also there are no limit on number of clients for HTTP.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
