View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI've been trying now for few days to configure an Edge server that would connect to our working Origin server. I have not changed anything on the Origin server and media are served properly I can easily play all media from the videoPlayer.html sample app distributed with the server.

What would be the crucial things to optimize when you have hundreds of people connected to your application, with most of them being in a video conference with RTMFP direct_connections, and also some using RTMP connections?
Our app seems to go down under heavy load. - RTMFP stops working (no one can connect to the service with RTMFP NetConnection) and RTMP NetStreams don't work either, however Text Chat works.
Server we use have a connection limit of 500 connections, and 2.5mbps speed limit per connection (a video conference with 4 people uses less than that so it seems fine).

View 5 RepliesI have been running a test server using Apache as the web server. The problem is I need to be able to run FMS on an IIS machine, and there is a conflict over each trying to binding to port 80. I have read that a solution to this problem is to have 2 IP addresses, having FMS bind to one and IIS bind to the other. This is not a requirement for Apache and FMS. Why is it a requirement for IIS and FMS? This question my show my lack of knowledge of the difference between the 2. But, is it possible to configure IIS or FMS so that they share port 80 like FMS and Apache do? how Apache and FMS work together, and why IIS cant?

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 an FMS Clustered in Edge-Origin configuration. Can I have different Origins for different applications but the same edges?.I have multiple edges forwarding the requests to the Origins based on the application name?[code]And if its possible, can someone advice the advantageous of having different Origins for different Applications?

View 1 RepliesIs 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.

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.

View 3 RepliesI 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?
View 3 Replieswe 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.
My problem and I SWFVerification enabled on the server and saw that FMLE does not connect more, I looked for some explanation and I saw that if that is enabled for SWFVerification you must also change UserAgentExceptions tag <Exception from = "" to =""/> at this point I added this change<Exception From="FME/0.0" to="FME/4.0"/>but I saw FMLE does not connect as little to solve this problem

View 6 RepliesI carefully read forums for phpmyadmin before posting here and none really had the answer. I am able to install phpmyadmin on stand alone versions of Apache, but unable to do so on the FMS version. I previously read this post [URL] and it doesn't seem to answer the question although it looks like part of the question may have been answered offline. The problem is that phpmyadmin installs and I know that PHP is running fine because I can run a couple of test scripts with no problem. However, when I go to login to phpmyadmin, I get the dialog box asking me "do you want to open or save this file" and the script itself never executes. I checked the the server log, and here's what's going on:

Based on the post noted above, I'm assuming this may have something to do with either POST variables or maybe proxying unknown requests, however the forum post didn't appear to resolve the problem. I also posted to that thread, but I wasn't sure it was still being monitored.
We have a pool of FMS 3.5 servers behind a haproxy load balancer. They are working fine with RTMP and download with HTTP through FMS proxy. We need now to have RTMPT working for some clients behind a strict firewall.

I'm wondering if anybody knows of a guide or a step by step process for configuring a VBrick HS.264 encoder to send video to my FMS for live broadcast. I'm experiencing issues configuring the Transmitters on the VBrick admin panel and unsure how to have FMS recognize the video stream to publish it. Has anybody used a VBrick encoder with FMS?
View 1 RepliesI'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?
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.
