Media Server :: Activating PHDS From Application.xml And Event.xml Causing The Server Error
Mar 5, 2012
Dear community, i am searching for 6 days for a solution but i couldnt find. I installed the trial version of Adobe Media Server 4.5. I am trying to host live stream and it is working without error. but when i activate protection (PHDS), server gives en error code: 20...
Here is the server log...
After i could take the Live HDS, i made these settings as described at [url]
The documentation is for FMS "4.5.1". Is PHDS for a live HTTP stream also supported in FMS 4.5? I tried setting Application.xml as instructed in the guide, and when I viewed the .f4m from the live stream, I did not see any indication that it was encrypted.
My Requirements 1. First requirement is to broadcast a live event through a website. So I need to develop an application to capture the event using a cam (I don't want to use Media Encoder) and I need to create a player for the web site.2. Second requirement is, in a webpage need to display the same live streaming event, also need to display another 8 live videos (which capture the webcam of 8 different users). Basically can I do multiple streaming how can I handle
Questions:a. Can I use Flash Media Server to meet the above requirements?b. I have a dedicated server for FMS and I have webhost for hosting the website. Since FMS and the web hosting are different server, will FMS communicate with the hosting server?c. What is the minimum config for the hosting server? Is it better to go for some Unmetered Servers?
I'm running Flash Media Streaming Server and have only been serving VOD up until now. I had my network administrator open up port 1935 to the outside world during the setup process and now I can't remember if that was actually required for streaming VOD to clients. Most documentation I've read says that this port should be open, but I seem to recall reading something at one point that suggested it wasn't necessary.
I've just started messing around with publishing live streams using Flash Media Live Encoder to the Flash Media Streaming Server. I have that working without issue but was surprised to find that no authentication is required before a client running the live encoder can publish a stream to the Flash Media Streaming Server. An authentication module is available however it only works with Flash Media Interactive Server and Flash Media Development Server.
If I leave port 1935 open to the outside world, there would be nothing to stop anybody anywhere from streaming video via my server. Anyone else running a default install of Flash Media Streaming Server and with port 1935 open to the outside should see that this is true of their setup as well. I'm wondering if I can safely close port 1935 without limiting the functionality of the server or if there's some way I can require authentication prior to publishing a live stream even though I'm not on the four-and-a-half-times-more-expensive edition of the product.
The company I work for installed FMS on a server running Centos for a customer who needed streaming media capabilities. It worked fine for 3 months until today the customer called us and informed us that their client program can no longer connect to the streaming media server. No one has done anything to the server to cause this to happen. When attempting to access the admin console to diagnose the program, the streaming server returned a 500 Internal Server Error. So I tried another page. Same result. Reboots of both the hardware server and the FMS have changed nothing.
We are using a Origin/Edge configuration for massive video delivery, and we are experiencing problems with huge audiences. Basically, when the edge server reaches thousands of users watching (6000) a live video in a single application, this instance is unloaded by the server with the following error:
==> edge.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1018614(i)2701054Virtual host Disconnecting unresponsive core live/stream (28860) after 30 seconds is not available.-==> core.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1028860(i)2581233Core (28860) disconnecting from admin: 200.-==> master.00.log <==2010-06-1115:51:1018593(w)2581257Core (28860) _defaultRoot_:_defaultVHost_:::_0 is not responding and is being restarted!-2010-06-[code]......
In this situation, the CPU usage is something around 30%, the memory is almost unused, and the load average is very low. We are using FMIS 3.5.3 854a running in the CentOS.
I am using flash media server 4.5 for video streaming and genrate log files. In log file i have found the user publish point name in "x-sname" filed but this filed contains blank values in many events.This fileds contains value only in "PUBLISH,UN_PUBLISH,RECORD and PUBLISH_CONTONUE" event and other then these 4 events all events are not user related event.?I like to fetch the user bandwidth detials using these log files which user used how many bandwidth.I also like to know I can see serval files on flash log folder name "access.00.log,access001.log and admin.00.log,admin.001.log" Any one please explain what is the name convation for this filed how can i identifiy which files contains information for which date.?
I have configured FMS on Amazon EC2 I am trying to capture data from my webcam and push it to the server.For storing the webcam i created a new folder but as it is recommended in other forums "You need to replace the signed Live application (main.far) with main.asc in[FMS-Install-Dir]/samples/applications/live/ ;(For more Info: refer to documentations & live/readme.txt) "I am not able to locate samples folder from where i can get my main.asc file
The server on which FMS was running crashed due to a power failure. FMS is set to start, and it restarted with the server.Unfortunately it restarted with no applications loaded, including the application, which we need to run continuously.Is there some way to ensure that the server always starts with a particular application loaded? The only way I could find to load it was through the systems console.
Looking through our windows event viewer application logs, I've noticed alot of these warning listed. What would cause they messages to generated? Anything to be concerned about? It seems they're all created in between live event streams - after a live stream has stopped published and before the next live event stream begins, about a 20 minute break.
im using FMS4 as origin server and connect to FVSS from CDN, whose FVSS version's FMS3.5. with this all, when it's played with flashplayer from CDN every each connect require just wrote sth in the server log file as below:
Mon 09:51:56 AM: Assert failed in .TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70Mon 09:51:56 AM: Assert failed in .TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70Mon 09:51:56 AM: Assert failed in .TCMsgHandler.cpp line 70Mon 09:51:56 AM: Connect : rtmp://live.mywebsite.com:1935/2011/monitor/
and due to these frequent errors the CDN Edge service would get shuted down. but after i changed the FMS4 into FMS3.5 with origin server everything just worked well.Now my question is, is that a bug with FMS4 or? and what can be done so far if we want to go on use FMS4?
Some users are unable to access any of our video content, getting a Server Not Found error.We have our FMS configured to use ports 1935, 433, 80. Our firewall is allowing RTMP traffic to each of these ports. Is there something more I can do from my end to make sure users can access our FMS?
I am trying to set up DVR streaming using FLME. I'm following this tutorial: http:[url]........I'm up to Step 2,
I put in the following information into the FLME: FMS URL: rtmp://222.222.222.222/dvrcast_origin Stream: mp4:sample.f4v
Then click 'Connect' , but I get an error "Failure to connect to primary server verify that your server URL and application name are valid and that your internet connection is working and retry". My server is a 32-bit windows 2007 VPS , with FMS running.I don't know if I set up the DVR Cast application correct. All I did was copy the dvrcast_origin into the installationdirectory/applications, then I started a new instance of dvrcast_origin with _definst_...Also, I am running the trial version of FMS, and DVR needs FMIS. Is there a way I can just run FMIS?
I try to establich the connection with asc file from applications/videochat $connection_string="rtmp://videochat/"; And I'm getting the result from media server Connecting to the video server...>>The client does not have permission to connect to the application, or the application expected different parameters from those that were passed.>>The connection was closed successfully
We have a very simple webcam recording/playback application we're using in a mission-critical user assessment application.Users are given the ability to record themselves using their webcam and microphone, then review their recording and submit it for graded review.The recording application appears multiple times per HTML page, and while we can record and play back video, we have large numbers of instances in our core.log of the following error
Server detected a backward timestamp from [####]to [####] in file: [filePath]
While these videos will play back with varying degrees of reliability, they will often "hang" for several seconds at the end of playback before sending the appropriate NetStream.Play.Stop and NetStream.Buffer.Empty events, and will sometimes hang indefinitely.Further, they report inaccurate runtime metadata, causing our playback indicator and progress/scrub bar to function erratically.In any case, the functionality and user experience of the recording tool is substantially degraded and must be fixed in order to successfully deploy this tool.
Disabling NTP services is not an option, and further does not appear to be the culprit, as these errors occur on a large number of recordings.As recordings need to be immediately available for self-review before submission, running flvcheck on each recording is also not an option.We have tried a variety of fixes, including waiting to unpublish until the buffer is empty,reconnecting after every recording, forcing FMS not to reuse connections, and using separate NetStream objects for recording and playback.Nothing has eliminated these errors.Adobe support referred us to Tier 2 support, and I am in the process of contacting them, but I'm looking to exhaust all my options before continuing.Is there any reliable solution to the backwards timestamp recording issue, or do we need to find a different media server application for our needs?

I'm testing FMS 4.5 using the developer edition before upgrading our FMS 3.5 servers to 4.5 but for some reason creating new vhosts doesn't seem to work. I'm following the exact same steps I would take using v3.5 but 4.5 gives this error:
I am running a very low volume (3-4 simulaneous users) video chat application on FMS version 4 and am seeing the following error generated from FMS (Core) about once or twice a week.Message callback is not set.Any idea what the cause of this might be and whether or not it is impacting anything?Additional information from the event log is as follows..

I have a series of mp4 videos (H.236 @ 22 fps) streaming from an akamai FMS serve via RTMP protocol in flash player 9+ with AS 3.My goal is to create client side playlists that smoothly switch from one stream to another. I am creating these playlists using a series of netStream. play (filename,start,len) methods. If I don't use an offset for the start parameter, then the stream switches smoothly from one video to the next with not noticeable jump or jerkiness. However if I introduce a start offset, say a few seconds in, I start to see a quick little hiccup or pause between the seams as it switches from one playlist stream to the next.
We have an application that works no problems on our server with FMS in test mode. As soon as we enter our FMS license key we get this error: "application is not a valid signed application loading access denied".We removed the license key and it works again, but with user limits obviously, so this is not an acceptable fix.
Is there any application which can relay another application on Flash Media server? For exmaple I have a "live" application on the server. I want another application, "liverelay" which can basically relay what is coming on the "live" application. Is it possible? If so how can I implement it? Looking forward to a response.
I'm building a video conferencing applicaition for a portal. But now when considering which version of flash media server to buy, I run into some problem. So can anyone helps me about comparing this two versions: Flash Media Streaming Server and Flash Media Interactive server, like if I use Flash Media Streaming Server, some function like NetStream.pause() may not work or something like that? I'm not sure if this is a foolish question but please let me know.
One server - is streaming server with Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5that host the application with asc files in FMS application directory.Second server - is the IIS web server that host thehtml,aspx,swf etc.. files.So basically i heve swf file on one server that have to connect to live streaming via rtmp on different server with different ip address.I did not find any clear explanation on this crossdomain rmtp issue.ys only HTTP can use crossdomain.xml policy filebut not rmtp.So what policy security procedure need to be done in order to enableswf file hosted on one server to connect and show rmtp live cam broadcasting from another server?
Can Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 run on AMD Athlon Dual Sock Quad Core?I just requested a Dell server to be added to our farm to run as a Media Server and to my surprise, while reading the requirements for FMS it states the following: 3.2GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor (dual Intel Xeon® or faster recommended)
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Flash Media Server working with a little video playback application I wrote a few years ago that has suddenly stopped working.I'm using CS3/Actionscript 3.My app uses the FLVPlayback Component, and was working well last time I checked. I recevied a report that the videos stopped working, and have been looking into it.I figured I'd add a bunch of event listeners to the FLVPlayback's ncMgr.netConnection so I could get debug info on things like io errors, net status, etc.The problem I'm running into is that the netConnection is null when I set it to anything on my Flash Media Server, and adding any event listeners to this netConnection throws errors.Here's what I've tried so far:
Playback of a local FLV file works fine.In the FLVPlayback documentation, I found an example and stole the URL of the stream they were using in the example, and that works fine, although it is an HTTP protocol stream rather than RTMP.Any attempt to access FLV files on my Media Server, which has worked fine in the past, basically cause the FLVPlayback object to sit and hang in "buffering" mode and never progresses beyond this point.The netConnection object in this case is null.Here's my code:[code]........
Again the purpose of this is to troubleshoot the video streaming from the Flash Media Server, and it seems like there is no netconnection to the server being created.Does this mean that the server is not working, or is there a problem with the way I'm trying to access the content on the server?This was all working fine before, and I have set up the server-side application .ASC files and such to allow things to work fine on the server end.
I'm trying to make a software which sends video and audio data to a flash media server by using RTMP protocol. Currently, my program can communicate with a flash media server correctly. RTMP specifications does not describe about the raw data in video/audio messages, so I muxed raw H.264 and AAC data into video/audio messages and sent to the server. The server seems to accept them, but a video player cannot playback the stream sending from the server. The player just says "Loading..." For a test purpose, I sniffed the network packets between Wirecast and the flash media server and ripped off only video and audio data. Then, I muxed those data into video/audio message and sent to the flash media server. In this case, the video player connected to the server can playback the stream correctly.
I checked the stream sent from Wirecast, the stream seems not to be H.264 raw data because those data are not started from 0x17 instead of H.264 start code. With those situation, I am wondering what kind of container format I should use for H.264/AAC data to the flash media server.
The instructions for installation only cover installation on "localhost". I'm wondering if I could use the development server for a small scale website depolyment with restricted traffic, from a commercial server, such as goDaddy?And if so, what''s the method? Do I download the package from Adobe to my local hard drive and install over the network, or copy the package to the server and install it online?
The $995.00 version is listed as not supporting server side playlists. Is it possible to implement internet TV station like functionality using that version? I would like to have a list of files to play out and have it so those connected are all viewing the same thing.
