Streaming server 3.5.1 no script works except main.far (VOD)

we own multiple FMS servers, interactive and now we installed
a few Streaming servers.
during the install process we provide the license key
for the Stream server's we got from the adobe representatives
in our country, and all seems well until we try to move an already used VOD
script to the /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/ folder
the script is named main.asc and replaces the main.far
which comes with the out of the box VOD application.
this script works on all Interactive servers but fails
to work on the Stream servers.
it simply fails silenty, no logs and no errors are written anywhere....
so i thought the problem might be some feature i try to invoke
in the code while streaming server does not support it, so i stripped
the main.asc to be practically empty..
application.onAppStart = function(){
    trace("application start");
application.onAppStop = function(){
    trace("application end");
application.onConnect = function( client ) {
    trace("accepting connection");
    application.acceptConnection( client );
application.onDisconnect = function(client){
    trace("application.onDisconnect");
yet the problem persists, perhaps we have wrong license key?
does the streaming server allow scripting at all???
ps: when i change the licence key of the streaming server to
Interactive server's Key, all starts working...
Any ideas ?

Hi,
The behavior you encounter with FMS Streaming Server edition is expected. The streaming edition only offers streaming capabilities as outlined athttp://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/dmotamedi_fms3.html .
As small gist from there :
Flash Media Streaming Server (FMSS) is a brand new product offering. This low-cost server is limited to live and video-on-demand (VOD) applications only. It cannot be used for multiway applications such as video chat, server-side playlists, or server-side recording. Flash Media Streaming Server does not support the new plug-in architecture or server-side ActionScript API. Edge or Origin configurations are not available in the streaming server either.
So if you are looking for server-side scripting support and other features like C++ plug-in framework etc to build interactive/ collaborative applications you need to choose the Flash Media Interactive Server.
Thanks

Darwin streaming server

I can't find a discussion area dedicated to Quicktime or Darwin Streaming Server technologies, so since I am working on a MacBook Pro I'll put my initial question here... if anyone wants to direct me to a more appropriate forum, please do!
The problem: I have gone through the Darwin Streaming Server installation process (using Apple's provided installer for v5.5.5) and no errors were reported until the server setup part (via Safari). At that point I was informed that the server had not started as it should have, as part of the installation. I have tried manually launching the QuicktimeStreamingServer executable from Terminal, but it gives me the error "Bad executable (or shared library)".
Any help welcome!
Thanks...

Hi Matt,
I spent a few hours troubleshooting this since I got the same error message. Giving up, I decided to download an earlier version:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/streaming/release/DarwinStreamingSrvr5. 5-OSX.dmg
Version 5.5 was able to install correctly and immediately took me to the Darwin Streaming Server Admin url.
I'm using 10.5.1 on a power pc [intel dual core]

Upgrade FMS2 - Streaming Server 3.5 - Video not streaming - NetConnection.Connect.Rejected

I have Flash Media Server 2 set up with a simple bandwidth detection application (with serverside code), and a videoplayer application (no serverside code). I have upgraded to Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 and have managed to successfully get video to stream using the basic examples on the startup screen both locally and from another machine. However, when I try and connect to either the bandwidth detection application, or the videoplayer I get the error message:
NetConnection.Connect.Rejected
[ Server.Reject ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Application (**my appname**/) is not a valid signed application; loading access denied.
I saw another post in this forum saying that for custom applications you need Flash Media Interactive Server instead of Streaming Server. This worries me as I'm quite far down this route now and don't want to tell my boss that actually we need to find another £2k to make this a viable solution! But looking at the credentials of Flash Media Streaming server (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/compare/), it seems to be that what I want to do is viable. At worst I would have thought that only the bandwidth application would be a problem as it has serverside code. But even so, the Streaming Server apparently does have bandwidth detection. How does this work then?
By having the Steaming Server am I somehow tied into Adobe video players if I want to use the streaming capabliities? Am I not able to have my own named application? Or is it simply likely that there is some setting somewhere I have missed which is causing the error.
Any advice would be much appreciated as I'm struggling to get to the root of these answers on my own.

You just need to define handlers specially onBWDone on client side to do Bandwidth detection. Just check example "Bandwidth" in documentation/samples/Bandwidth/Bandwidth.as.
Since you are using VOD, i think you can just pass "true" as second parameter when you make nc.connect call in you client side and VOD application would make call to checkBandwidth and would call onBWDone when it finishes bandwidth detection. Read more about this in Client API documentation in SSLR.pdf and Dev_Guide.pdf.
Also Adobe has come with advanced Bandwidth detection which you can do using client-side Flash Player API's - Please check this link for more info:http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_on_demand.html
Also you can NetStreamInfo documentation which should be present in AS3LR (check documentation folder of FMS)

Short, basic VB script works on 2003 Server but not on 2012 R2 server

Hello all,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I have a legacy VB script that I need to keep, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on Server 2012 R2.
The script reads a file called "Test.txt" that contains the following string:
String1|String2
Part of the VB script is to read this "Test.txt" file and parse this line into 2 separate elements based upon the "|" delimeter:
On Error Resume Next
Dim FSI, inputFile, String, f, WshShell,WshNetwork, WshFSO, StringArray
inputFile = "Test.txt"
CONST ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Set FSI = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = FSI.OpenTextFile(inputFile, ForReading, True)
Set WshShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'********* Read the file ********
String = f.ReadLine
msgbox("String: "&string)
'********* Split the line *******
StringArray = Split(String,"|", -1, 1)
msgbox("stringarray(0): "&stringarray(0))
msgbox("stringarray(1): "&stringarray(1))
The variables in this script when ran on Server 2003 are:
string = String1|String2
stringarray(0) = String1
stringarray(1) = String2
So this script parses the String1|String2 line perfectly on Server 2003. However, running this same VB script on Server 2012 R2 results in very strange output:
The variables in this script when ran on Server 2012 R2 are:
string = ӱƥt
stringarray(0) = ӱƥt
stringarray(1) =
Is there anything on Server 2012 R2 that I need to install to get this to work in VB, or what is the issue with Server 2012 R2 and visual basic? I'd LOVE to redo this in PowerShell but I need to keep it Visual Basic for legacy reasons for a few more months.

Hmm interesting. I tried using the 3 different "format" parameters for the OpenTextFile method, and none of them worked on Server 2012 R2:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa265347(v=vs.60).aspx
However, I copied the text file directly from the 2003 server and placed it on the 2012 R2 server, and then the script worked great!
Thanks for steering me in the right direction Bill!

Webcam stopped working on network after quicktime streaming server install.

Hi,
The webcam of my 20" intel mac duo stopped working after I installed quicktime streaming server.
I've tried with amsn, skype and ichat and none of them shows anything, although the light is green.
I don't need the streaming server but can't find how to uninstall it.
I can use the cam in photobooth without any problems so it seems to be a network problem, which I think was caused by qss because I installed that recently.
I really hope someone can give me some troubleshooting directions for this cause I need the cam for meetings with clients (I have a small design company in the uk, but most of my clients are from holland).
If anyone can at least just show me some tips I'd be very very happy! =)
thank you very much!

SDI Capture Card that works with QuickTime Streaming Server/Encoder

I can't seem to find any major SDI video card manufacturer that has drivers which work on a MAC OSX Server using QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster. Apple has suggested we try LiveChannel and I have yet to contact them. I have however contacted AJA, BlackMagic, View cast, etc. and none have tested their cards against QuickTime Streaming Server & QuickTime Broadcaster.
We need to be able to do Multicasting
Any help is appreciated!

Sorry but I think I was impatient when I wrote that.
After monitoring the .upcoming file, I saw the new entries appear after a while.
You can modify the .playlist file at runtime without updating QTSS. It will read that file automatically after a while.
It seems to work fine now.
Thanks

Does media streaming server work with IPAD client

What if I access video delivered through media streaming server on IPAD client. Does it supports?

Hey hi Petro, first of all sorry for delayed response.
Now coming to your query - Mac OS per se allows flash , i mean if you Mac machine flash would still work as its officially supported there as standalone, in authoring and as Safari Plug-in. Its only iPhone and iPad which don't support flash.
Now how they block it - in order to play any flash content - you need to have FP Plug-in installed - and that is what iPad/iPhone won't allow you to install.
And if I am not mistaken they do block Flash Apps on thier store too ( though i am not completely sure about this as I am not that expert in this area but high chances are there that i might be true , atleast till someone wiser corrects me )
I hope my answer is helpful and gives little insight to what you asked

Create a Flash-DVD with videos on a streaming server

Hello
As I am new to this forum, I hope I found the best place for my question. I have rented a few GB's on a streaming server, becouse I plan to open a little website with dancing videos on it. I have Adobe premiere pro cs4 to cut my video and encore to build a dvd. Since the dvd menu is quite practical I would like to use encore to place exactly the same project on my servers. This is how far as i got: I changed the script file so that my flash files got uploaded to my streaming server. I loaded the index.html, flashdvd.swf and AuthoredContent.xml onto my webserver, but nothing works..... I know that my streamingserver uses Wowza software... could this be the problem? Do I need a Adobe Streaming Server???
If you want to check the files, please don't hesitate to see www.dance-tv.ch/swidako'09/index.html This is the "progressive download" version of the project, but it seems to have the same problem as the one on the streaming server.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you
Oliver

A PNG sequence can be used if you will go through the Flash authoring app itself to add interactivity, for example. If not, or in either case, you can create a FLV (Flash video) file with alpha. This can be used directly with the Flash player on the web.
Just pull the key with Keylight, and when it's done, Add the Comp to the Render Queue, set the Output Module's channels to RGB+Alpha and then pick Flash Video (FLV) as format, with one of the Flash 8 presets. The preset will instruct you in the comment field to adjust the stretch settings in the Output Module to the size specified by the preset.
For more information, see Render and export a Composition as an FLV or F4V file in After Effects Help.

Help needed with streaming server

hello. i work with a firm that provides hosting. one of our
clients has asked if it was possible to use a streaming server from
flash. now, to try it out, i've downloaded the trial version for
the flash media server 2. i've read through the documentation, but
i still cannot make it do what i want. as an example, i've
downloaded the 'dynamic playlist' example. i've set it up
completely as it's said on the site tutorial, yet i cannot connect
with the server. before you ask, yes, the server is running and the
application is loaded. the only thing i've really changed in the
example is the url of the server inside the xml file. when i test
the flash in flash pro 8, i get the message
NetConnection.Connect.Failed, no matter what address i use, be it
localhost, the internal ip address of the firm, or the external ip
address for access via the net. admitted, i'm not the most
knowledgable person on flash, but i still need to get that server
running.
obviously, my boss wants that server up and running as soon
as possible. can someone help me to set it up so i can make a
connection with the server?
i can be reached at [email protected] thanks in advance to those
willing to help.

Hi,
please try this sample:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/broadcast.html
The simplest sample works like this:
1. Create a subdirectory in your [FMS_HOME] called "tutorial"
2. Create a subdirectory in tutorial called "streams"
3. Create a subdirectoy in streams called "video" (or use
_definst_)
4. Create a flv file using Flash Video and save it in your
"video" directory.
The server structure should look like this:
[FMS_HOME]
|------- applications
______|---------- tutorial
____________|---------- streams
___________________|----------- video
___________________________|---- videoToPlay.flv
Now you can play the stream from within your flash
application.
The quickest application is created like this:
1. Create a video instance (right click in "Library" and
select "new video", name it "video" and make sure it's action
script controlled. Then pull it onto the stage and make sure you
give the instance a name, e.g. "myVideo")
2. Now you need 5 lines of code.
// a connection
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/tutorial/video"); // Important:
No / (slash) at the end
// Create stream onto your connection
ns = new NetStream(nc);
// Link your display to the stream
myVideo.attachVideo(ns);
// myVideo is the name of your video's instance (see above)
// play the video
ns.play("videoToPlay");
// videoToPlay for videoToPlay.flv
I hope this helps!

Quicktime Streaming Server Live broadcast Issue

Hi All,
If someone could please help me with this, I have a Quicktime Streaming server set up in our DMZ with Nicecast being used to broadcast up to the server. When I enter the URL of the station in Internet Explorer Windows Media Player launches without any issue and plays the live broadcast. When I try to launch the URL in Firefox or Google Chrome for some reason the Quicktime plugin attempts to play the broadcast, plays about 10 seconds and stops. Any thoughts to why that is?
Thank You,
Brad

The embedded link plays on Windows in IE 7, Firefox 3.5 (Mac and Win), and Safari 4.0.2 Mac, all with QT 7.6.2. Below are some screenshots of the chat window where the stream plays from:
*This is Firefox 3.5 Mac:*
*This is Safari 4.0.2 Mac:*
*This is Firefox 3.5 Win:*
*This is IE 7:*
The issue with Safari and Firefox in the top two images is the code on the page needs to be fixed. This is what's there:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" >
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE=" icy://riotradio.dc-uoit.ca/riotradio" >
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true" >
<EMBED PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" SRC="http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" QTSRC="icy://riotradio.dc-uoit.ca/riotradio" AUTOPLAY="true" >
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
and that's why you see the little QT window next to the 'Riot Radio' graphic and why you see the player window with the -2048 error code below it in the Safari screenshot. If the code is changed to this:
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50">
<EMBED PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" SRC="http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov" TYPE="image/x-quicktime" WIDTH="90" HEIGHT="50" AUTOPLAY="true">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
the little QT box should disappear and the player will display in the area below the 'Riot Radio' graphic. However, the '<OBJECT>' and '<EMBED>' tags are deprecated in favor of using Apple's javascript implementation of calling QT in web pages. This is also the reason that the QT plugin doesn't load in IE 7 (last image) -the 'Q' with the '?' mark on it.
Here's a sample of what could be used:
<head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
QT_WriteOBJECT('http://www.theriotradio.com/chatbox/riotradio.mov','310','305',' ',
'autoplay','true',
'controller','true',
'align','middle');
</script>
</body>
You can pass this link:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
along to your coder to have him look at what is recommended for QT embedding using javascript to make it work with IE 7/8 -it will also work with FF and Safari. The 'AC_QuickTime.js' javascript, shown in the code sample, can be downloaded from the page linked above and placed on the site.

Where did the Quicktime streaming server go??

It looks as if the Quicktime streaming server is gone for good - apparently it is not part of the Lion server install, and it can't be found on the Apple web site either. There is a page for it, but it doesn't actually provide any useful information.
Does anyone has any idea what happened to this technology?

Hello! I said... I want the ability to input analogue video into my camcorder so I can continue to transfer VHS and input and record video from other sources. The new HD cameras on the market will not allow you to record video from any source except for the lens.
I have HD cable box. I want to record my HD programs from cable (HBO, Starz, etc) to my camera, download the video to my Mac from the camera and then edit them in iMovie and create professional looking movie DVD's in iMovie.
iMovie HD can work with mini DV HD cameras and HD video. I was not aware of a system requirement for working with HD content.

General query regarding the implementation of a Flash Streaming Server

Hey lads,
I'm looking at setting up an Adobe Flash Streaming Server at
work. It will be used primarily to stream training videos across
our Intranet - we have ~1000 users at the moment, with the capacity
to expand to ~2000). We are looking at both filming with a camera
and screencasting (using either
Camtasia or Adobe
Captivate) and then encoding to .FLV
Camtasia can encode directly to FLV, however I'm not too sure
of the quality, so the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder looks like a
good option too. For the time being we will just be concentrating
on the screencasting though.
The good thing is i can download a development server for
free from Adobe which gives me complete access with just a
restriction on the amount of users that can access the content
(10).
From what i can gather the (simple) way it works (and that
I want it to work) is that you have a standard template SWF
file containing relevant actionscript (sitting in most probably in
a html/php/asp/ect file on the webserver), which then calls the FLV
file from the flash server and streams the content to the clients
PC. I assume i will pass a variable to the SWF file (the video ID i
want), and that will then be used to call the corresponding FLV
file.
So effectively a YouTube website, i.e:
watch?
v=WjK6wNIWzts
I just wanted to know if anyone had any general tips on how i
should approach this? Obviously quality vs file size will be a big
point - deciding on a standard FLV format will be a mission,
however i do have the benefit of an internal network so can anyone
recommend some good encoding tips? I was actually thinking of
encoding a low quality and high quality version, but i don't think
that's really sustainable/effective.
There is a bit of documentation around for this, but they
tend not to answer the basic questions. Am i heading in the right
direction?
Thanks for your help :)

How to create a Playlist in flash Streaming Server

Hi all,
        am new in the flash streaming server. I download the Flash streaming server and install it its work fine.
I want know about the following question:
          how to stream the video using playlist?
          What is the format of the playlist?
          can i create a playlist from visual studio.Net and pass the value to the player?
awaiting your reply,
Thanks in advance.

If you have bought Streaming Server License - you want to be able to create any server-side playlists as you cannot write you own customized code on Streaming Server.
However what you can do is create client-side playlist using client-side code, place all your files in media folder of VOD and use them in your playlist. Playlist is nothing but set of plays which are queued up so you just need to issue NetStream plays with last parameter "reset" set to false - this is so that you do not reset your previous play.
So it would be like
ns.play("abc",0,20,true);
ns.play("xyz",0,30,false);
ns.play("uvw",0,20,false);

JMF and the Darwin Streaming Server

Has anyone been successful in getting the JMF JMStudio to work with
the Darwin Streaming Server? I have set up Darwin on my computer and
encoded a sample .mov file using a codec that is supposed to be
compatible with JMF, the H.263. I was able to view this file inside
JMStudio if I opened it directly as a file. I was also able to stream
this file via the server using the Quicktime movie player by opening
URL to rtsp://localhost/test.mov
However, when I go into JMStudio's Open URL, and put in
rtsp://localhost/test.mov, I get an error message saying:
Controller Error:
Failed to realize: Server is not responding.
I am using JMF Version 2.1.1e and the Apple Darwin Streaming Server
5.0
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Also, let me know
if there is another streaming server, preferably open source, that
works well with JMF.
thanks.

your doing local host, JMF needs to receive rtp on
port XXXX, now if you are receivng on port XXXX the
server maybe trying to send on the same port , or
maybe it's trying to send the RTCP data.
Does darwin use RTCP ?? and also I would try from
second computer , as JMF sends, receives on same port.I am pretty sure all the ports are set up correctly. I have tried connecting from another computer and run into the same issues. Also, I was able to view the movie just fine from the same computer (connecting to itself) using the Quicktime Java package provided by Apple. I've been able to view movies in quicktime using the RTSP protocol

Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5 and Darwin Streaming Server 5.5

Since i upgraded to Quicktime Broadcaster 1.5 (as i want to use H264) i can't use any more the Automatic Unicast (Announce). It says 'Broadcast error disconnected (-3285). I updated to Darwin Streaming Server 5.5 (on SuSE 9.1 Linux on a hired server with 2 IP's, one binded to DSS, the other to Apache to enable Streamin over port 80) but it doesn't help. I tried with Wirecast instead and everything workes fine (at least it created the .sdp file correctly) so i don't think the problem is in the Streaming Server Set up. Anyone has experienced something similar with the new Broadcaster?

We use 10.3.9 server here on three different machines. Two of the three disconnect from Broadcaster after about half an hour, with the -3285. The third system will not even allow a connection to start, ever. I am thinking that the automatic unicast file has a permissions issue. All of the three servers have Open Directory enabled. I want to turn it off, but I am not sure what will happen to the rest of the server's abilities if I do. Does anyone run in an Open Directory disabled configuration?
