RTMFP support in Flash Media Server 4
I see that the new Flash Media Servers were released. Looking over the information on the product pages, Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is the only available product that supports RTMFP connections?
We currently have Flash Media Server 3.5 and our product utilizes RTMP connections, but I've been working with your Stratus Server and RTMFP and have found that the new protocol better fits our needs. However, the price for Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is beyond our budget. Is there any possibility that RTMFP support are/will be available in the lower levels of Flash Media Server? If not, is there any idea on the time frame for the end of Stratus?
Thank you.

No, unicast means the client can make an RTMFP connection to the server, and data can only be sent between client and server. P2P functionality requires FMES.
Forgive me as I'm still wrapping my head around FMS.
So the RTMFP unicast with only 2 machines would basically be the same as RTMP connections to a server running a particular application?
MachineA ----RTMFP--->FMIS==\
|<-> Application1
MachineB-----RTMFP--->FMIS==/
Doing it this way... the machines can still communicate with each other through the application they are connected to on FMIS?

Does Flash Media Server support MULTICAST?
I've been looking thru all the doc's but I can't seem to find
a single thing about whether Flash Media Server can actually
support multicast.If by
multicast you mean each user can have an individual "stream"
that they can control independent of other users, then yes. HTH... -
Flash media server 4 enterprise load balancing
G'day chaps, me and my mates have purchased a copy of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition for use on our web project. Since we will be transmitting to large amounts of users through this exceptional piece of software, we will be needing to run more than one server at once. Before going ahead and doing anything against the policies we have decided to post here on the support forums and inquire about being able to run multiple copies of Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition with one Serial KEY ( 10 x GigE dedicated servers ). If this is not possible, how can me and my chappies load balance all the traffic through one Flash Media Server 4 Enterprise edition.
Hi there bluray,
Congrats on your FMES purchase - we really hope FMS meets all your needs. Although you'll not be permitted by your license to use it for more than one server installation you should be aware that FMS 4 has new scalability functionality that should enable you to scale beyond what you're currently expecting. You may want to get immediately familiar with RTMFP and peer assisted networking. FMS has the capability to serve as your personal introducer leveraging the power of peer to peer to scale more massively than a single installation is capable of.
Here's a little snippet about it

or

Hope that helps.

Beginners guide to integrating Flash Media Server 2?
I'm a newbit to Flasha dn flash media server and need some
help with integrating the two products. We've just purchased Flash
Media Server 2 to stream user created videos to a website. Idealy
we would like to use the FlvPlayBack component placed on the stage
to display the FLV file from the media server, but cannont get the
component to access the FLV file.
Media Server Configuration:
On the Media Server we created an application (testapp) with
an default instance (_definst_). The directory path for the
Appliation looks like this W:\MediaApps\testapp\streams\_definst_\
The name of the server is MediaServer
The application and instance are appearing in the Media
Server Admin manager.
I've placed an FLV file (Movie.flv) In the _devinst_
directory.
Flash FLA file
Placed FLVPlayback component on the stage
Set contentpath= rtmp:\\MediaServer\testapp\_definst_\Movie
Set islive=true
When I test publish the file, the video does not display?
Does anyone have any guidance on what I need to do? There
seems to be a lack of documentation on integrating the media
server. I looked a sample app called "SimplePB" that works, but
does not use the FLVPlayback component.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
John WallworkJohn,
For an FLV to stream from FMS, it must be placed in the
streams/_definst_ directory...
applications/myApplication/streams/_definst_/myFlv.flv
Then you would type in the rtmp connection information in the
contentPath of the FLVPlayback component like this
rtmp://myRTMPConnectionInfo/myApplication/myFlv
without the flv extension.
The documentation comes from the FMS components when you
install them.
Here it is...
To set up your FCS for streaming FLV files:
Create a folder in your FCS application folder, and give it a
name such as my_application.
Copy the main.asc file into the my_application folder.
Create a folder named streams in the my_application folder.
Create a folder named _definst_ inside the streams folder.
Place your FLV files in the _definst_ folder.
To access your FLV files on the Flash Communication Server,
use a URL such as rtmp://my_servername/my_application/stream.flv.
For more information on administering the Flash Communication
Server, including how to set up a live stream, see the FCS
documentation at
www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashcom/. When playing
a live stream with FCS, you need to set the FLVPlayback property
isLive to true. For more information, see FLVPlayback.isLive.

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 and Red 5 server
Hi Folks...
This may sound a little off topic, but please bear with me. I would like to know if it is possible to run Action Script
Communication Files(.asc) on an red 5 server, just like how a .asc
file runs in the Flash Media Server. Hope someone can advise. Thanks.I dont think Red5 supports .asc file, it uses server-side javaScript however. You may like to check this page - http://red5.org/ticket/204

Encoding to H.264 FLV: Flash Media Server Streaming
Hi all,
I've been hoping to find the magic Compressor settings which would allow me to compress a stream-able FLV on our Flash Media Server.
I realize I can use the default QuickTime Export component to create an FLV, however this does not support distributive rendering/job segmenting. Currently I'm trying the 'QuickTime Movie' file format (last on the format list) without any luck.
As QuickTime can produce a streamable FLV with the export component I'm figuring there HAS to be a way to manually configure Conpressor to do the same: Has anyone worked this out?
Thanks for any assistance
- BillyRelated to my post above is it be possible to access and use the TrueMotion VP6 (Perian) format settings in Compressor? This format is also accessible through the QuickTime Export component option, and doing so would would both make the flash streams more compatible (w/ old players) and allow job segmenting.
Thanks again for any thoughts ...

FMLE not connecting to Flash Media Server
I have two laptops with windows 7 and FMLE 3.2 and FMS 4.5 in them. Laptop A is working perfectly with the default settings but i cannot connect to FMS with laptop B. I have tried turning windows firewall off, setting fmscore, fmscore and fmsmaster to run under administrator privileges.
The FMS starts correctly on laptop B (i compared the log-files on laptop a and b) and here is edge.00.log from laptop B (i censored my ip and host):

When i hit Connect button in FMLE i get the "Cannot connect to primary server" - error. When i change the FMS-Url to the ip-address of my laptop A i can connect to its FMS. The default FMS Url is rtmp://localhost/live and Stream: "mystream@38220" (this is working in laptop A).
I downloaded TCPView and compared whats happening with the laptops when i hit the Connect button. On laptop B FMLE sends bytes to FMSEdge and it responds with 1 byte and then nothing happens. On laptop A same thing happens but it opens up FMSCore and the stream starts going live.
Apparently the FMS had worked on laptop B before but then it stopped working due to reasons unknown. I tried reinstalling it with no results and now im clueless. I also tried the fmscheck and it said it cannot connect to FMS. It seems the FMSEdge is not behaving correctly or something is blocking the traffic between the programs. Please help.Access log looks like this:

I tried connecting to localhost:1935 with telnet and typing something and then watching what happens in TCPView. It says that the fmsedge process listening to port 1935 establishes the connection and receives the bytes, though it closes it after few seconds probably because it doesnt understand what data i sent. And when FMLE sends 1537 bytes to fmsedge it receives them but nothing happens. -
OPTIONS OTHER THAN FLASH MEDIA SERVER
HELLO ALL,
I am trying to create a webcam recorder, i would like to know
if there is a way of doing this without the use of the flash media
server or an online adobe server account.
thanks in advance.There are two alternatives to FMS that I am aware of
Red5 (
http://osflash.org/red5)
Wowza Media Server (
http://www.wowzamedia.com)
Both are java servers, and AFAIK neitherhas support for
server side actionscript (you'd need to code in Java or one of the
other supported scripting languages). Red5 is open source, Wowza is
about half the price of FMS (the last time I checked). -
Flash Media Server X-Forwarded-For
Hello Everybody
I need to find how to implement 'X-Forwarded-For' for Flash Media Server. Right now the problem is that the flash media server is thinking that my routers internal IP is what my external users has as external IP. So when I look into my log I can see access from 192.168.1.2 and not from the true address that is 87.72.50.50.
How can I fix this problem? If X-Forwarded-For not supported what can I use then?
Thanks!Hi
As I understand it, Flash Media Server is more for the deployment of video.
Have you tried Wallaby to convert your files? You'll need to export for Flash Professional (from InDesign CS5 or greater) then use the Wallaby converter from there to get lovely HTML5 goodness.
Wallaby is on Adobe Labs: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
It is an experimental technology, but surely worth a go? -
Flash Media Server 3.5/number of CPU
How many number of CPU cores Flash Media Server 3.5 supports?
Hi,
You could refer to the EULA located at the FMS install directory/License.htm.
So in short to install FMSS you could use up to 4 CPUs and to install FMIS you are allowed to use upto 8 CPUs.
The section 2.8.5 states:
2.8.5. License Limit. Licensee shall only use the Software corresponding to the licenses for the Software that Licensee has purchased. Licensee is permitted to install the Streaming Server on a single Computer or Virtual Server containing up to 4 CPUs. Licensee is permitted to install the Interactive Server on a single Computer or Virtual Server containing up to 8 CPUs. In the event that Virtual Servers are installed on a Computer, each such Virtual Server shall be deemed to operate the Software on 2 CPUs (each, a “Virtual Server CPU”), and the total number of Virtual Server CPUs plus the total number of physical CPUs on such Computer, shall be counted together for the purpose of applying the limitations set forth in this Agreement. For all the Software licensed hereunder, if Licensee exceeds the limitations set forth herein on a single Computer or Virtual Server Licensee must purchase another license to the Software, and such additional license shall permit up to permitted number of additional CPUs (including Virtual Server CPUs) in such Computer or Virtual Server.
Thanks

How many concurrent users supports Flash Media Server version 3.0.7?
There are major difference between the two editions you are mentioning but most important difference in your context is - No Remote SharedObjects and No Server-side coding is possible in Flash Media Streaming Server. So you won't be able to write full fledged Video Chat or Text Chat - you migth have to use some other technologies so that you can create chat rooms and use FMSS to do Video Streaming part.
You can see full comparision between all editions of FMS here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-server-family/buying-guide-comparison.html -
