Media Server :: Built-in LoadBalancer For Origin/Edge Servers
Jun 10, 2011
We are currently deciding what to use: Wowza(not so much, since they are undergoing the lawsuit) or Adobe Flash Media Server. The problem is that I couldn't find any information on how to configure the loadbalancer using FMS. I tested with Wowza and they use built-in loadbalancer but not so for FMS. Forgot to mention that we need it mostly for live events using RTMP protocol. My current configuration has 1 origin server + 2 edge servers(trial developers edition). I can manage to play livestream from the edge--origin servers using egde url. How can I configure the edge server so that when I connect to the origin server it redirects me to the least loaded edge server?
I tried to set up the connection limit for the origin server for 2 connections(one for the fmle, one for edge) and connect with 5-10 clients but my origin server didn't redirect the stream to the edge.

Is it possible to use origin/edge setup when streaming using HDS ? I have succesfully tested using RTMP but when I try the HDS string - get error "we are having problems with playback". I can view the stream directly if I connect to the origin server. I have 1x origin server and 1x edge server.

where can I find step by step guide for clustering FMS? url...but , it is not clear what exactly to do , it just says like :Install and configure the first Flash Media Server.Use the same serial number and license file each time you install Flash Media Server.NOTE A special cluster license file is required. For more information, contact your Macromedia representative.Confirm that this Flash Media Server instance is working correctly.Configure the Flash Media Server instance as an origin server.Install and configure the next Flash Media Server in the cluster.Configure this Flash Media Server instance as an edge server.Make sure this edge server points to the origin server.Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each edge server that your license file allows.

I just came accross edge origin configuration. I was wondering if this would be good if I use Edge-Origin configuration on live applications, like live Video Chat or sharing a drawing board. I understand that they will be useful in case of failures of edges. But unlike 'videos on demand' applications like streaming, edges will help since the edges will cache them. So for a live application, apart from failover any other advantages of having Edge-Origin setup?

we have an origin server where video materials are stored and one edge where clients are conected to.
If i allow clients to connect directly to core server it can go easily to 1000 users without any problems. If the clients connects to edge after 100 users the player will start buffering the video every few seconds.
On the other hand if i connect a FMLE to core ( same video bitrate as materials already encoded ) clients can connect to edge and there is no problem
( tested with 1000 users ) and no buffering issues appeared.
There is no IO wait problem on core, edge is configured not to use any cache. There is no connectivity isssue between master and edge.
Both origin and edge are 4.0.3.

I'm stuck trying to get a Stream.play() call on a recorded video file (.flv) to translate from origin to edge servers. Don't even know if it's possible. If I call Stream.play() on a server, and connect a viewer directly to that server, the viewer sees the stream play. If I call Stream.play() on an origin server and connect a viewer to edge servers the stream does not play.
Is it possible to configure in any way that the play() call would propagate to edge servers? According to FMS 3.5 docs on the Stream class, the following is the case:
"When you call Stream.play()on the server, the server becomes the publisher."
See [URL].
If that server becomes a publisher and lets say it was an origin server on a CDN, shouldn't the other machines in the configuration receive the published stream? Somehow when you publish a live stream to an origin server it makes its way to edge servers. Is this analogy not relevant to the scenario wherein you call Stream.play() on a recorded file?

I have setup an Origin and Edge server to offload live and VOD content. However, my end-users are pointing explicitly at the Edge server. Is there any way to configure the setup so the Edge server (proxy)is transparent and the end-users only know about the Origin server?I am trying to configure video split streaming with FMS.

I am trying to load test my 2 server load balanced FMS 2 environment which has been set up with the profile for 1000 connection 40MB. When I hit about 140 connections/server it fails with a "Bandwidth Penalty activated at time 1248945759.731000 with bandwidth 5945889 and limit 5000000" error logged in the event viewer immediately followed by many rejection errors: " immediately followed by many rejection errors: "
Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ License.Limit.Exceeded ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_/DLvideo/_definst_) : Current server bandwidth usage exceeds license limit set. Rejecting connection."The load testing mechanism is a test harness that was created by a third party and seems to work well up until the above messages are logged. It basically is making 25 sustained streamed video connections per minute until it starts disgarding connections as noted above.
The servers are not even breathing hard (RAM is less that 50% consumed and CPU Utilization is < 5%) 1GB NIC on each server.What parameter(s) can be changed to push the servers harder.

I run a FMS 3.5 Server and I want to add additional FMS Servers and load balance the traffic. The plan is to use a script for the developer version of FMS that forwards two incoming FME streams to the different servers, so each FMS Server has all streams. Is there a script for this? In addition there is a need for a script that somehow redirects the users to the server with the lowest users/bandwidth in use.

I'm running FMS 3.5 on RedHat, and have some server side actionscript that is attempting to perform an HTTP GET on a remote URL, e.g:
loadVars.send("http://someurl/");
This works on a Windows XP development server, but not on the RedHat deployment server. Are there any configuration options that I need to be aware of in order to allow my application to perform requests such as these (i.e. HTTP requests to remote servers)?

I have a setup where I have some edge servers (as in <Mode>remote</Mode>) that pull content from an origin server. I only want to allow RTMPE connections to the edge server. I'm trying to do this by using the <DisallowedProtocols> element on the origin server. I'm setting: <DisallowedProtocols>rtmp,rtmps,rtmpt</DisallowedProtocols>
in the relevant Vhost.xml on the origin server. However, when I do that, proxying through the edge server stops working. I get a "Connection attempt rejected by FMS server [ Server.Reject ] : Connection failed." from OSMFPlayer (which I'm using for testing) and these lines show up on the origin server's core.00.log file:

I was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'. I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. What does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins? What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do?
In the attached Origin Only Architecture, what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do? I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also? Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools for FMS). What kind of software Load Balancer can we use for FMS clustering? (Like Nginx, Zeus or something?)

i have a orgin server and 2 edge servers and a load balancer
first off im confused in each edge server i set them to be remote, rtmp and changed the routeentry to <RouteEntry>*:*;96.44.***.***:1935</RouteEntry> on both servers
orgin server is just local
what my question is im streaming to orgin and its getting sent to 1 edge and other edge is doing nothing no traffic the stream i set it this way url:
'rtmp://173.254.***.***/live/live_test',
which is the 1 edge thats working if i setup another channel pointing to the other edge server ip adresss it doesnt work.. what am i doing wrong isnt all this supposed to be load balanced or am i missing steps...or did i do it wrong on the flash player config.

I want to implement an internet chat application, I mean, I want a front end, which connects a web cam (mic and speaker). So, I can send videos and audios to a back end server (do flash streaming? but I am not sure what good product out there I can use), and also send both A/V to another computer on the internet. In other words, need a front end that sends local a/v from webcam (&mic) to backend and receives remote a/v from backend to webcam (and speaker) + backend streaming server.

We have 2 FMS 4.5 servers, one working as origin one as edge we are running our custom DVR application on Origin server, wich records streams. Clients are connecting to edge server and they can watch live or rewind back and watch recorded stream, the problem is after too many clients are connecting to edge server the rewind option becomes unstable, form our investigation we determined that rewind working bad only on that parts of file wich is not cached on edge server yet (caching is working fine when there are not too much clients).
We have currently upgraded from FLV Streams to H264, FLV was much stable and was able to handle much more connections.
