I was wondering if any one could clarify something with IP multicast. From what I understand to get IP multicast to work the server needs to publish to the router box. So how can this be achieved if the FMS server is not in the same network as the router box? Would it require a second FMS server to be placed in the same network as the router box that connects to the main FMS server?

I have upgraded from FMS2 > Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5 I added both the seriel number for FMS3 and FMS2 during the installation process. When I logged onto the admin panel there was no licence listed, and a link saying "to upgrade to unlimited connections now, click here".
So, I checked the fms.ini and no seriel was there. I put the seriel number in and restarted the server through the FMSadmin tool. Still, no licence file was showing. I then added the licence file via the admin panel and got a dialogue saying "Seriel Key "blah" Sent To The Server for approval". The seriel key now appears with a valid status of false. And no further progress after that. The documentation states that when you add the seriel key in this manner it should recognise it immediately.
Can anyone suggest what I might have done wrong? I have trebble checked the seriel number, and copied and pasted it to make sure it is exactly right.
As stated in the title, I want to know how to determine if my server/host has native bandwidth detection. I have FMIS 3.5 installed on my Linux server. Is this a setting in FMIS or is this something I have to call my host to find out?
View 5 RepliesI recently upgraded from FMS 2 - FMIS 3.5.Over our internal network videos stream like a dream!However, accessing them from outside our own network means that they take about 20 seconds to load, or sometimes just get a message saying the server isn't found.This wasn't a problem with the FMS2 and there have been no changes to firewall settings or anything like that since the old server was up and running without problems.I have the new server set to use exaclty the same ports, but wonder if there are some other settings which could be causing this?Networking isn't really my area of expertise, and I have no idea where to start looking to improve things.
View 2 RepliesSome 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?
View 1 RepliesI have a silly question, how do you verify if your install of FMIS needs updating or security patches?I currently have FMIS ver 3.5.3 r824a.How the heck do you even verify if Adobe has a higher version? FMIS page just says FMIS 3.5
Sheesh, can Adobe make anything straight-forward?IT dept where I work says one of their security scans implied - that the FMIS install on one of our servers needs updates, what updates, who knows...

We are testing IP Multicast, with Flahs media player 4.0. We set up the encoder and generated the manifest file. Multicast start, but we see lot of bufferring and video running fast. After about 2 minutes, the encode stops publishing to the server. We are using digital rapids as the encoder.

I'm in the process of developing a realtime video chat application where multiple users can send video streams simultanuously. The number of users receiving the streams can be very big, e.g. 10 broadcasters and 500 receivers, each receiver should get all streams.
I use RTMFP connections to an FMS and streams are published in P2P multicast groups by passing the groupspec to the NetStream constructor. Currently I'm having problems with audio/video synchronization and video stream 'jumps' (not continuous). From what I read on other threads, this is related to the fact that there is not enough upstream bandwidth for sending the streams. So my questions are:
How to calculate the required upstream bandwidth on every peer for the given example of 10 broadcasters and 500 receivers (is it 10*bandwidth of one stream)?What settings (on NetStream, Camera, Microphone etc.) should be used for best results and how to adapt them based on the number of broadcasters?
Can't get a clear answer on this - Does FMIS 3.5 run on an MS 2008 Web Edition Server (64bit)?

View 1 RepliesI've recently installed and set up a FMIS 3.5 setup and my web developer wants to have php on the server to create some dynamic content. Trouble is, I can not for the life of me get PHP to work on the server. Is there some special instructions that need to be followed with this special version of Apache that comes installed? Or is there any special reason I should use this version? If it won't hurt anything, I'm more than happy to just uninstall it and install my own Apache package, but I also don't want to limit or cause any problems in the future by doing so.
View 6 RepliesFlash Media Server (finally) supports multicast video. But documentation about this feature is about multicasting live video
View 1 RepliesI know this question comes up from time to time, but it's completely unaddressed in the documentation and I'd like there to exist a more authoritative treatment of the subject.Like many other developers, we're trying to record multicast RTMFP streams. We see three options:
Broadcasting clients open two outgoing NetStreams: one for the multicast group through RTMFP, and another directly to FMS through RTMP for recording. One downside to this solution is that now the user has two outgoing streams, so available outbound bandwidth for any broadcasting client could easily become a constraint on video quality.One can stream to FMS 4 using RTMP and have FMS-side code that records and broadcasts the stream to the multicast group using RTMFP (recommended by JayCharles at http:url...). I haven't tried this out yet but my guess it that it will have worse video quality than a pure RTMFP solution. Is my concern justified?Super-hacky solution: one could have flash player running in some kind of virtual environment on a server. This flash player could subscribe to the multicast stream and record the video at a systems level. Has anyone tried a hack as daring as this? What solution is recommended by Adobe?It's incredible to me that FMS 4 can't act as an RTMFP consumer, thereby both acting as a multicast node and also recording the video. Can anyone at Adobe comment on this omission in functionality?
I work for a carrier, and am looking at implementing IP Multicast on an MPLS network to support enterprise executive webcasts. As your probably aware, there are multiple multicast methods available.
Anyways its down to two multicast methods. PIM-SM ( which our engineering group will probably reject to complexity)
PIM-SSM ( Which not every application supports Can anyone advise on whether Adobe flash media server ( and player ) support PIM-SSM multicast?

View 1 RepliesI am developing a virtual classroom application for education purpose.I have developed following features in my application :
1 - Instructor audio and video for all students
2 - Shared whiteboard
3 - Animations using SWF controlled by instructor
4 - Chat functionality (Shared Variables Used)
I have to decide between Flash Media Server and Flash Media Interactive server and price difference between the two is huge.Considering the features indicated above I would like to know the server edition I should go ahead with.
I have Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.5 on Windows 2008 server. I developed video chat application (many to many), it's only 1 FMS application with about 50-100 room instances and 1 lobby instance to which all users are connected. There are up to 600 - 700 users at a time which produce about 2000-2500 connections to FMS. Problem I have is with steady raise of memory usage, which if goes little above 2GB will make FMS unresponsive and it would restart itself after about 1-2hours. To avoid that Im restarting FMS manualy every 3-4 days. Interesting thing I noticed is that if I restart FMS from admin console, used RAM memory won't fall at levels as if it would right after whole Windows server is restarted
[Code]...
we are streaming 24/7 live from a number of FMLE's to FMS Interactive server to a livepkgr cloned app., and to our clients we stream both to Flash via rtmp and to iOS via HLS.Since we want to introduce another server (to be able to serve more clients), the question is - hot to republish from one to another server so that both servers can stream rtmp and hls to clients?We are already using the backup url in FMLE to stream to a backup server - this we do not want to change since the backup server is just that - backup, if the main server fails.
View 2 RepliesI'm developping a FMS 4 application that read an external stream, and then, republish it in multicast:
1.- So, first of all I open a NetConnection to the remote application. And I associate it to a new Stream created in the application. Then I have the stream available in my application.
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(REMOTE_APPLICATION);
nc.onStatus = function(info)
[Code].....
But, I don't know who would be the client in the registerStream method. Which reference should I add there? Is it possible in this way?
I made another different script that republish that stream in localhost using NetConnection.publish(localhost/sameapplication). It works properly. But I would like to be able of managing it in the other way.
I have followed the code provided in a thread in this forum on recording a multicast:
[URL]
Basically, it gets aan RTMP stream from a client and attached that incoming stream to an outgoing RTMFP stream with multicast enabeled.
Everything works fine, except, after the client disconnects from the server, the multicast netstream on FMS continues its life. The admin panel shows that netstream as a stream with type Live.
I have tried things like:
ns.publish(false);
ns.attach(false);
but the stream keeps staying on the server, how is it possible to get rid of it when the client disconnects?
I wanted to know if there is any facility to use Software Switchers along with FMIS The Situation: I am streaming multiple streams using FMLE from one place and at the receivers end, the client receives only of the streams at a time. So I wanted to apply switcher so as, I could stream only one stream from FMLE at one time I have explained the scenario in the attached image.
