Settings of live stream for FMS 4.5 on Amazon

Hi. We are cureently have an issue with setting up an outcoming stream for a livechat. We are using FMS 4.5 on Amazon and OSMF player. When streaming from FMLE everything is working fine. But when streaming from as3 we receive buffering status of OSMF player and wornings in amazon server:
Warning from libf4f.so: [Utils] [1cbec29179f3616a6b284fc9ecc029d8] [1cbec29179f3616a6b284fc9ecc029d8] FMS F4F recording received timestamps with absolute time flowing backward lastTime held was 2109435 and the most recent arrived was 2107876. This message is being ignored - recording will continue.
Stream settings are:
_streamCam = Camera.getCamera();
_streamCam.setMode (640,480,30,true);
_streamCam.setQuality (1200 * 1024, 90);
_streamCam.setKeyFrameInterval(4);
var pH264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
pH264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.BASELINE, H264Level.LEVEL_3_1);
pH264Settings.setQuality(_streamCam.bandwidth,_streamCam.quality);
Also Adobe resommends to enable streamsynchronization like it is done for FMLE:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html

    <mbrconfig>
        <streamsynchronization>
            
            <enable>true</enable>
Is it possible to do the same for AS3 Netstream? If so, please tell the name of a proppety.
Please kindly, advise.

Archiving live stream at FMS and injecting metadata: VP6 good h264 not

When I record a live stream at FMS, one in which I've injected metadata in my main.asc file, the archived file plays back fine. The metadata plays back too. I'm able to retreive it just fine - if I encode VP6.
If I encode h.264 the file plays back but the metadata does not. The fact that the archived file is created and plays back tells me things are wired correctly. The only thing I changed is the format.
According to FMS docs (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9 5e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35)
..."The recording format is determined by the filename you pass to the Stream.get()
method."
So my record code looks like the following:
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
     trace("onPublish");
     s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     if(s){
         s.record();
     this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
My code that injects the data in to the stream looks like this:
Client.prototype.sendDataEvent = function(data) {
     trace("Call to sendDataEvent...");
     this.newStream = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     this.newStream.send("onTextData",data);
All must be wired correctly because the metadata comes through during the live stream. On play back of the archive though, the metadata doesn't appear to be there.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

My apologies on the s.play() confusion. I had been trying different versions of the code and posted the one without it.
Whether I include s.play() or not the file gets created. Here are the various versions of the onPublish() function I've tried (differences in red):
1.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
    trace("onPublish");
    s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    if(s){
        s.record();
        s.play("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
2.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
    trace("onPublish");
    s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    if(s){
        s.record();
        s.play(stream);
    this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
3.
application.onPublish = function(client, stream) {
     trace("onPublish");
     s = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
     if(s){
         s.record();
     this.doRepublish(this.nc, stream);
All produce the same result - an archived file called mp4:streamname.f4v in my streams folder. This file plays back fine but does not play back the commands.
On your other question, about things working fine for VP6, it works fine for FLV. A file called streamname.flv is produced. This file plays back fine and does indeed play back commands baked into the file as well. This is what makes me believe the code is not the problem. If it works perfectly for one format, there would seem to be very little I could do in my code to break things for the other.
Can you try this using the record() code snippets in the live docs Stream.record() section?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc9 5e-7e42.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7f35
All you'd need is the code snippets there to record your live stream and another server side function to inject commands into that live stream. Here is that function:
Client.prototype.sendDataEvent = function(data) {
    trace("Call to sendDataEvent...");
    this.newStream = Stream.get("mp4:streamname.f4v");
    this.newStream.send("onTextData",data);
Do something simple like call onTextData and pass some text in the data parameter. Then on the client side viewer, handle the onTextData method. It will receive the text. Display it in a text area or something.
If you record while injecting this text into your stream, the text should display on playback of the archived file. It will if you encode VP6/FLV, but not if you encode H.264/F4V.
Let me know what you discover.

Publish Live stream to FMS on RTMPE protocol

Hi,
I am trying to publish Live Stream to FMS using FMLE or third party encoders.
Is it possible to have RTMPE or RTMPTE protocol used between encoder and FMS?
Very urgent.
thanks,
Pooja Jain

FMLE can only publish via rtmp or rtmpt.

Playback of low bitrate flv or f4v from live stream in FMS causes player buffer to empty

We are experiencing a consistent issue when playing a low bitrate (300kbps or less) flv in a live stream from FMS. Basically, the player will will start off with the appropriate buffer, say 5 seconds, then begin dropping until it empties out, and will have to rebuffer. We've tried with a variety of flv and f4v files, all that are 300kbps or less, and we consistently get the issue. Is this something Adobe can investigate in FMS? Or are there any suggestions on how we can get around the issue?

Problem playing remote live stream from FMS

Hello all,
I'm having problems playing remote live streams from FMS (server-side) that I can play with any other player (client-side)
Example of server-side application which plays a remote live stream:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://remoteserver/live");
stream = Stream.get("localStream");
stream.play("remoteStream.flv", -1, -1, true, nc);
This code works only sometimes.
Most of the times, FMS is able to connect to remote string and the localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
In this case, FMS is publishing the local stream but it is not playing the remoteStrem on it.
The rest of the times, localStream dispatches events:
   NetStream.Publish.Strart
   NetStream.Play.Reset
   NetStream.Play.Start
   NetStream.Data.Start
In this case FMS plays the remoteStream correctly.
Any hint to solve this issue?
Regards.

Thanks, I tried your code and it works when playing a remote live stream on another FMS.
But the remote live stream is not on a FMS but on a Wowza Server which re-streams an RTSP stream over RTMP.
With this code:
var nc;
var myStream;
application.onAppStart = function(){
     nc = new NetConnection();
     myStream = Stream.get("localstream");
     myStream.onStatus= function(info){
           trace(info.code);
     nc.onStatus = function(info){
           trace (info.code);
           if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success" ){
                myStream.play("remoteLive.sdp", -1, -1, true, nc);
     nc.connect("rtmp://remoteServer/live");
Every live stream player I tried was able to play the remote stream "remoteLive.sdp", but FMS play it only sometimes. This is the output log of the FMS application:
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset        <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start       <--------------------------------- Stream is playing just fine
NetStream.Data.Start
Unloaded application instance wowza4/_definst_ <--- Reload app
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Play.Reset       <--------------------------------- Stuck there, stream won't play
Any idea? Why FMS won't play it everytime?

Need license for using H.264 Video codec for live stream with FMS 3.5 series

Hi,
I am creating a live audio-Video chat application in which I use H264 video codec for live streaming. I am using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I read some where that H.264 Video streaming using FMS required seperate licencse. So I want to confirm , It is true that H264 video streaming required seperate license? If yes then what is the procedure to get license.
Please let me know its urgent.
Regrads,

Hi Again,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are some articles/posts which says about Royalties to use h264:
http://www.mpegla.com/Lists/MPEG%20LA%20News%20List/Attachments/226/n-10-02-02.pdf 15:27

http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=65403&PageNum=3
http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf
According to these, any product/service provider, need to pay one time fee based on # of subscribers if we are using h264 for encoding and is charging fee from its users.
About our business: We are web-conferencing solution tool provider and are using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I for audio/video. Please help me out if h264 is really free for us or we need to buy license to use that.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Live stream on FMS issues when reaching 1600 concurrent users

Hey all,
We have an FMS 4.5.2 installation with 1x Origin and 2x Edge setup only for Live streaming. We are using FMLE latest version to stream to the Origin server and Edge servers are connecting to the Origin server. We are running four applications stream1, stream2, stream3 and stream4 all for live streaming (copied live) application. All servers have default configuration except edge/origin setup.
All servers have 4Gbit connections in bonding and network traffic is nicely distributed across all bonds and uplink is 10Gbit to the ISP.
Server is a 2 CPU / Quad Core HP DL 380 with 64Gbit of memory running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Now to the problem.
We are streaming live stream from FMLE with 700kbit/s to for example stream1 application and when we hit around 1600 concurrent users with 50% on edge1 and 50% on edge2 (800 concurrent users on each edge) in the player buffer drops and all people experience buffering issues at approx 30secs - 2minutes intervals. (network is not congested because if at that time do an SCP from the server outside network it copies 1Gbyte file within seconds.
Funny thing is that If I start a second FMLE and stream live stream to for example stream2 application at same time and open up second player on client the video runs great without any buffer issues from the same server at the same time.
edge1 server:
application: stream1 with 800 concurrent users, player has buffer issues
application: stream2 with 4 concurrent users, player has no issues
edge2 server
same as above
So my current conclusion is that it has to be something per application since other application does not have this issues when running simultaneously? We tried changing fmscore number settings and some buffer settings but nothing helped.
at the time when we get buffering issues this are the only problematic things that get in the log and its in edge.00.log on both EDGE servers but not at same times:
Edge1:

there is no packet loss between edge and origin servers and latency is at 0.2ms and nothing in the logs of the origin server
We even tried to deploy Wowza Medis Servers with edge / origin setup and were able to handle around 4000 (2000 on one and 2000 on second edge) concurrent users without any issues.
Anyone has any ideas or at least what are our next options to do and what settings to change on the FMS? or how to debug and what to check when buffering issue appears? any more debugging we can enable on the FMSs? too se if we hit some kind of limit somewhere?
thanks

How to integrate flash media server 4.0 live streaming for iOS devices ?

Hi All,
I have website which has live streaming module its working fine, same module i want to integrate for iOS devices. For live video streaming we are using FMS 4.0. So please let me know how we can integrate this for iOS devices using flash media server 4.0.
Thanks in Adavnce

You need to place the crossdomain.xml in the webroot folder. Create a text file in the webroot folder using notepad, and call it crossdomain.xml. The text below will give you a wide open access policy, which is fine for testing.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
For debugging HTTP streaming I recommend you get hold of something like Charles or Fiddler. These will greatly assist in pinpointing any issues.

Recording Live Streams on FMS remotely

Hi,
We're using FMSS 3 to stream live feeds from cameras.
However, we'd also like to have the ability to (via an
administration site) record these live streams and allow the user
to view pre-recorded streams instead of the live ones.
Does anyone know of an example of how I can tell FMS to start
recording a stream (via a web service or AS), and then how to stop
it? Just for clarification - we don't want FMS to record a stream
from the user's own camera. We want to record the live streams that
are already streaming on FMS.
Thanks,
Filip Stanek

ur setup folder,

Encode archive of live stream on FMS 4

I thought by what I have initially read that this was possible, but I am not sure.
What we would like to do is create an archive (f4v or mp4) on the FMS 4 server any live stream that is pushed from our endpoints. Primarily as a backup and if necessary - an editable file within CS4 or CS5.
We are at a University and capture lecture powerpoints natively and sometimes need to edit the files. flv is not enough and we would like to take afvantage of mp4 and the FMS server while we use it for overflow as a recorder.
Can anyone clarify if this can be done?
Thanks
-Brian

Recording can be triggered via client-side publish call, or via server-side script. From the publish cmd, you specify "record" option. For example,
ns.publish("mp4:foo", "record"); // ns is a NetStream, "mp4:" prefix tells FMS to record using MP4 container
Otherwise, if you want to trigger the record via server-side as Jay says, you can simply publish the stream as,
ns.publish("mp4:foo");
then from server-side AS, do something like,
// this handler is called when a stream is published
// clientObj is the client that is publishing the stream
// streamObj is the stream that is being published
application.onPublish = function(clientObj, streamObj)
streamObj.record("record"); // start recording the stream

HTTP Live Streaming for Apple IOS devices

HI,
We have installed FMS 4.5, including Apache 2.2, on a 64-bit Windows 2008 R2 server following the instructions given in the video that can be viewed here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/install-verify.html
Browsing to the test page for the server works fine for HTTP Dynamic Streaming and RTMP Dynamic Streaming samples. However, when we try to use the HTTP Live streaming samples on the test web page on an iPad via AnyConnect, we only see a blank page with a small Abobe Flash icon in the top left hand corner which is basically saying that Flash has been detected on the page and is not supported by the iPad.
The above video shows HLS working on an iPad with no additional installation steps. Can anyone hep?

Found the answer
The home page on the Adobe server has an error in its javascript.
if (uagent.search('iphone') != -1 || uagent.search('ipad') != -1) {
should be
if (uagent.search('iPhone') != -1 || uagent.search('iPad') != -1) {

Live feed for FMS

Hi,
Is there any way to publish in FMS a live stream not coming
from a web cam or any other hw device.
I'm interesting in knowing if there is a public API that
enables the insertion of a feed from a stream buffer generated by
an external software running in the same host where FMS is located
Thanks in advance

Ido,
It is rather easy to capture the Camtasia "web" cam and
publish to FMS. Listed below are the high level steps necessary.
Create Flash application with below scriptlets
-- _nc = new NetConnection("rtmp://yourConnection")
-- m_ns = new NetStream(__nc)
-- var cam:Camera = Camera.get(getLiveCamera());
-- function getLiveCamera():Number {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < Camera.names.length; i++) {
if (Camera.names
== "Camtasia Studio Video Capture Driver") {
return i;
} else {
return null;
-- m_ns.attachVideo(cam);
-- m_ns.publish( "_Stream");
Run Camtasia Recorder
-- Set Enable Live Output under Live Tab.
-- Set Live Capture Rate.
-- Set additional parameters as required.
-- Start recording.
Hope this helps out...

I am getting 3108 unable to play media error with my link,
My question Is there any need of streaming server ?
If yes can anyone help how to create the streaming server.
Thanks....

Hi Suresh.M
As I can see a similar question on the Windows Phone Streaming Media discussion:
https://phonesm.codeplex.com/discussions/545737
You may need check into the call stack and find out what is the root cause, for instance if there any chance that your phone cannot reach to the video address, and did you enable some network capabilities, etc.

Publishing multi-bitrate live streams for iOS

I'm having difficulties publishing multi-bitrate live streams that can be viewed on an iPad/iPhone.
I'm running Flash Media Server 4.5, and have carefully followed Adobe's Tutorial on streaming live media (http) using hls found here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSd391de4d9c7bd609-52e437a812a3725df a0-8000.html#WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12e8340f669-8000
After completing the above tutorial, the video can be seen just fine on my desktop computer via the flash plug-in, but it's not working in iOS...
When I go to what I believe to be the proper URL, (http://myflashmediaserver.net/myevent.m3u8), I get an error message on my iPhone and iPad saying "The operation could not be completed".
I have created two set-level manifest files (one .f4m and one .m3u8) for the live stream using the Set Level F4M/M3U8 File Generator and saved them to the WebRoot directory, but alas, no love.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

I just finished going through the short and sweet tutorial on the Adobe website "Capture, encode and stream live multi-bitrate video over HTTP to Flash and iOS", which confirmed that I seem to be doing everything right, but I'm still getting the "The operation could not be completed" error message on both iPad and iPhone.
Grasping at straws, I'm wondering if it could have something to do with some of the "hacks" I was asked to make in the other tutorials, (which, oddly enough, weren't mentioned in the tutorial mentioned above). Specifically:
     • Edit FMLE config file on the Mac I'm encoding the live video on (change <streamsynchronization> from false to true)
     • Delete/Rename the "manifest.xml" file in applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent directory
     • Edit "event.xml" in applications/livepkgr/events/_definst_/liveevent (change <segmentduration> from 40,000 to 16,000)
However, I've tried running this with the above hacks as well as in their non-hacked state and am still not seeing success.
Please advise. Thanks!

Live Stream from FMS

I have install the Flash Media Server and Flash Media Live Encoder. Everything run perfectly when I test the Live Stream through localhost, but if I try to embed to another machine, it is failed. Anybody have an idea how to fix it?

Have you made sure your firewall allows incoming traffic on 1935 - i think it would be firewall issue.
