Streaming Webcam with media server and cs3

Can someone explain how to stream a webcam with media server?
Ive got media server and flash cs3 (actionscript 2.0 in this
case) installed, and I want to create a live webcam stream, but Im
not really sure how to do it. I know it involves NetStream, and
camera somewhere along the line but thats about it. If someone coul
give me an iea of how to o it that owul be much appreciated.
Thanks

Clockwork_Killa,
I don't use it with webcams, but there are some nice examples
in William Sanders book, Actionscript 3.0 Design Patterns. It's the
only book I've found that has any real world examples of working
with media in Flash with fms2.
Hope it helps. Good luck. You're going to need it ;)

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

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.

Is it normal for my DL speeds to drop in half while streaming video off media server with E4200v2?

I am on a 3MB plan and i noticed DL speeds drop quite a bit while the streaming from the media server? is this normal?
Also my Linsys ATA is on a static IP and when I review in Devices it will show offline though someone could be talking on the phone. What would be causing this?
Kind of new at all this stuff. Thanks in advance.

There's a whole bunch of articles on the internet on DSL PPPoE MTU. If you google "DSL MTU 1492", you'll probably find a lot better explanations than what I can give you.......
If you want to run the test in the link below, you'll find that 1464 is the mtu without fragmentation. Then you add 28......and you'll get 1492.

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.

H264 Encoder with Media Server 3

Hi,
I am using H264 encoder from company named NVSS and I would
like to connect my stream to Flash Media Server 3.
I would like to know if this is possible or I should use only
Flash encoder 2 for that?
if it is impossible where can I get the API for that?
thanks

yes i would also like to know how can I connect my own H.264
live encoder with FMS 3. As its my own product, I am ready to make
any changes required or to be compatible with FMS 3.0.
What's the interface FMS 3.0 supports on the input side? I
some how can not find all these info, so expert please comment or
give me some useful links,
thanks,

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?

E4200 - USB Storage with Media server

Pros: Decent basic router
Cons: Advanced features don't work, not worth the price, poor support, critical forum posts deleted
Other Thoughts: The Linksys e4200 is supposed to be a high-end router, with media server capabilities. It is NOT. The media server feature does not work and has not worked correctly since product release. Linksys keeps promising a fix, but customers are still waiting. Support forum members have been pressing the company for a solution, but Linksys merely deletes critical post from the forums. This is apparently their idea of how to "fix" the problem.
There are certain features that make a router a high-end purchase. If usb storage with media server capability is one of the features you are looking for, you should avoid this product.

Hi,
USB HDD uto 1 TB with file system NTFS ot FAT32 works just fine, if any issues try taking up the back up for the data already present on the HDD and then try to format the HDD using the router''s formatting tool available under set up page - Storage...
Please share your issues faced with the same....

Problems with games server and client

Hi! I am making an MMORPG game and I have problems with the server and client connection.
I can connect to the server, but when a second player does, the server console tells me this:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
After that, all clients disconnect.
Which is the problem?
How can I solve it?
Thank you so much

Here is how my sever work. I took some of this code from a book called Killer Programming Games in Java. If you google for it, you will find it for sure.
TourGroup tg = new TourGroup(); // this object stores information about all clients connected to the server
    try {
      ServerSocket serverSock = new ServerSocket(PORT);
      Socket clientSock;
      while (true) {
        System.out.println("Waiting for a client...");
        clientSock = serverSock.accept();
        new TourServerHandler(clientSock, tg).start(); // this is the thread that monitors each client
    catch(Exception e)
    { System.out.println(e); }
} This is some code of TourServerHandler
public TourServerHandler(Socket s, TourGroup tg)
    this.tg = tg;
    clientSock = s;
    name= "?";
    cliAddr = clientSock.getInetAddress().getHostAddress();
    port = clientSock.getPort();
    System.out.println("Client connection from (" +
                 cliAddr + ", " + port + ")");
public void run()
// process messages from the client
    try {
      // Get I/O streams from the socket
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
   new InputStreamReader( clientSock.getInputStream() ) );
      PrintWriter out =
new PrintWriter( clientSock.getOutputStream(), true );
// and here goes the rest... The TourServerHandler thread uses this code to send messages:
tg.broadcast(msg); tg.broadcast works like this:
synchronized public void broadcast(String cliAddr, int port, String msg)
// broadcast to everyone but original msg sender
    TouristInfo c; // this object stores info about the client
    for(int i=0; i < tourPeople.size(); i++) {
      c = (TouristInfo) tourPeople.get(i);
        c.sendMessage(msg);
} This is the error part
public void sendMessage(String msg)
PrintWriter out;
    out.println(msg);
      System.out.println("OK");
} I can't find any error but I still get that Connection reset exception...

I have imported a WMA-file in Audio-1 track of PE – still no sound to hear. But I can see the sound in the track. (Like in my video-clip) Therefore I also think it is a setting in PE. Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.

Transaction control with DI Server and B1WS

Hi everyone,
recentily I started working with DI server and B1WS, and talking with friends and with a brief research in the foruns Its seens to be impossible to have a Rollback in database transactions performed with DI server and B1WS.
Its really true? I mean, I receive the Session ID when I use the login service, it shouldn't be so difficult to have a rollback function with this info...

Really? Anyone knows?

Now that I have the Media server and 3 media client boxes, all

Now that I have the Media server and 3 media client boxes, all the individual lists of schedules are gone.
Is there any way to keep the seperate lists on the client boxes?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No because the VMS is where are all the recordings are done.
Client boxes use the tuners of the VMS.

Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS Server and Aironet Access Points

Hi Guys,
I would like to go for "Dynamic VLAN Assignment with RADIUS Server and Aironet Access Points 1300". I want the AP to broadcast only 1 SSID. The client find the SSID ->put in his user credential->Raudius athentication->assign him to an specific vlan based on his groupship.
The problem here is that I don't have a AP controller but only configurable Aironet Access Points 1300. I can connect to the radius server, but I am not sure how to confirgure the AP's port, radio port, vlan and SSID.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008076317c.shtml#switch
I go through some references:
3.5 RADIUS-Based VLAN Access Control
As discussed earlier, each SSID is mapped to a default VLAN-ID on the wired side. The IT administrator may wish to impose back end (such as RADIUS)-based VLAN access control using 802.1X or MAC address authentication mechanisms. For example, if the WLAN is set up such that all VLANs use 802.1X and similar encryption mechanisms for WLAN user access, then a user can "hop" from one VLAN to another by simply changing the SSID and successfully authenticating to the access point (using 802.1X). This may not be preferred if the WLAN user is confined to a particular VLAN.
There are two different ways to implement RADIUS-based VLAN access control features:
1. RADIUS-based SSID access control: Upon successful 802.1X or MAC address authentication, the RADIUS server passes back the allowed SSID list for the WLAN user to the access point or bridge. If the user used an SSID on the allowed SSID list, then the user is allowed to associate to the WLAN. Otherwise, the user is disassociated from the access point or bridge.
2. RADIUS-based VLAN assignment: Upon successful 802.1X or MAC address authentication, the RADIUS server assigns the user to a predetermined VLAN-ID on the wired side. The SSID used for WLAN access doesn't matter because the user is always assigned to this predetermined VLAN-ID.

Any help on this issue is appreicated.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if the Autonomous APs have the option for AAA Override. On the WLC, I can go into the BSSID, Security, Advanced, and there's a checkbox that I would check to allow a Radius server to send back the VLAN.
I did a little research and it looks like the 1300 may give this option but instead is defined as "VLAN Override". I've found the release notes for 12.3(7)JA5 (not sure what version you're running) that give mention and a link to configuring EAP on page 4: http://www.ciscosystems.ch/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/1300/release/notes/o37ja5rn.pdf
Hope this helps

Media server and Media live encoder running, but how do I view my stream?

Ok. This is the first time I have ever used these two programs. I got the Media server running and connected and the Media live encoder streaming and connected to the server. I have not been able to test the stream to see if it is working correctly however, judging by the logs, it seems to be working. What I really want to know is the simplest instructions on how to view the stream from outside of my network, as it is broadcasting over the net. I am trying to do a live stream.
With just these two programs running is there a link I can go to that it will automatically play the stream back?
What exactly to I need to do now to be able to give someone my link over the net so they can watch the stream?
Do I actually need a server to put the /applications/live folder onto?
Thank you!
(ps I have been reading the adobe documentation on this but I'm still confused)

I am certainly no expert as I have just started working
with this myself. But I will try to help.
To view the stream you need a client. As started in the Flash Media Server Development Guide:
You can use any of the following clients to play video streamed from the live service:
Flash Media Server sample video player (RootInstall/samples/videoPlayer)
Flash FLVPlayback component (fl.video.FLVPlayback)
Flex VideoDisplay component (mx.controls.VideoDisplay)
Any custom-built application that runs in Flash Player, AIR, or Flash Lite 3
You can pick up this link at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773cf ae-7ff7.html
I have a very basic example of a custom-built player that does work - I'm running FMS Dev (localhost) and a webcam. Let me know if you need the example.
Good luck. I hope more experts will start to post help, as I am struggling with some things myself.

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.
