Does anyone know of any issues with running FMS on Amazon's EC2 Cloud environment? We're running some live streaming applications, but are hearing reports from users of random disconnects.
View 1 RepliesThe installation of FMS 3.5.1 r516 Development fatally failed on our Windows 2008 R2 Server. We tried an R1 server and that one installed with no issues. It gets past the MS C++ installer, then shortly after:

FMS 4.5.1 Windows 2008 SP2 (64bit).We are deploying Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.1 on a new server but Apache does not work (does not serve html files or stream Quicktime H.264 files).Assorted Problems & Error messages:
1. The webroot/index.html page loads locally, but the HLS/HDS streams result in a 2032 error.
2. The webroot/index.html page does not load from external locations:[URL] (does not load externally).[URL] (our old server, FMS 4.0 and Windows 2003). Everything on this server works, the 2 major differences being that it is running FMS 4.x on Windows 2003.
Some RTMP streaming works externally and internally (f4v files):[URL]FMS does not stream Quicktime H.264 files even though f4v files work.New server (does not work): [URL]Old server (Quicktime/H.264 file works):[URL]Apache does not serve Quicktime/H.264 files: I made sure that Apache had all of the correct mime types specified.
Error messages and attempted solutions:Apache's erro_log file: a. httpd.exe: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
2. FMS master.log file
a. FMSHttpd -k start returned 1: [URL]1a: Edited httpd.conf file to include ServerName 63.116.232.5
1b: The presence of this error message also indicates that Apache httpd was unable to obtain a fully-qualified hostname by doing a reverse lookup on your server's IP address.
In order for the server to accept external connections a reverse DNS lookup needs to be created. I created a reverse DNS lookup and edited the /etc/hosts file to include the IPaddress, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), shortname.

Currently I have a music player that uses FMS on Windows 2003 Server/IIS 6 in a .Net app.I'm trying to move to Windows Server 2008 with IIS 7. However, the player doesn't begin playing from my list when the asp.net page loads with the player. However, if I run my code in debug mose in Visual Studio on the server, the player is functional. Which leads me to ask - can I use FMS in the fashion I want to? If so, how can I set up my site? I tried putting my app pool into classic mode, which didn't work.

Can't get a clear answer on this - Does FMIS 3.5 run on an MS 2008 Web Edition Server (64bit)?
View 2 RepliesMy IIS server can't start properly after a reboot (Windows update f. ex.). I have an error message that says it's not possible to start this service because it is used by an another process (Flash Media Server).It works again if I stop Flash Media Server and Flash Media Server administration and I start one by one my websites and start FMS after.
-Do I need to disable Auto-start and do it automatically with the task scheduler?
I'm trying to develop a p2p (RTMFP) webcam chat application with AS3 and FMS. For test purposes I've been using "rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net" and now I'll use FMS on Amazon AWS.hat I couldn't understand is which application type should I use on FMS? There is four preconfigured application types on FMS, these are live, livepkgr, multicast and vod. I guess live or multicast but I cannot choose between them, I'm a little bit confused. Or maybe I don't have to setup any application?My application scenerio is; a user will connect to FMS and webservice and will get other person's farID from webservice and will be on audio/video chat with remote side as he sends stream. (with one person) Pretty much like sample Cirrus application.Also I've another issue, I also want to publish one person's (consultant in my case) video to several people (customers) at the same time (one to many), customers won't publish any video or audio, they'll only watch and hear consultant. Can I use RTMFP and P2P for that? I guess it will insanely increase publishers bandwidth needs, so should I use streaming on FMS and let customers to get stream from FMS

View 2 RepliesI managed to run the FMS on an EC2 instance and I am able to use admin console. So I think I can say, that the server is running. Now I want to connect to the multicast application, which is delivered with the FMS as an example, via RTMFP. I can't get it to work... With an FMS 4.5 development server I didn't experience such problems. It seems to be a problem with the AWS. It might be, that I missed something to configure
View 1 RepliesAre the RTMFP connection limits for the FMS AMI hard limits? What will happen when the limit is reached, will the server just refuse new rtmfp connections?

View 1 RepliesI just set up a new copy of the official Adobe Amazon Machine Image for FMS4.One show stopper: it seems to require a license key in fms.ini, just like any other FMS4 install.The master log file has "invalid license key" in it. We tried giving it the "Activation key" no dice.There's a license directory in /opt/adobe/fms with 3 .bin files.We tried entering the path to that directory for the license no dice.The docs don't say anything about it.I've spent over 3 hours being transferred around Adobe and listening to elevator music(code).........
I've been trying to set up an instance of Flash Media Interactive Server on Amazon Web Services for an AVChat (avchat.net). I signed up for the service here:[URL] I have some simple questions on getting it started --- namely: do I create the FMIS instance myself now that I've signed up, or do I need to go ahead and create it? I see under the EC2 tab I can create an instance under 'Community AMIs' for adobe-flashmediaserver-useast/fms-4.0.1.8011-centos-5.5-ami-1.manifes t.xml Is this what I want? I realize this is a bit of a noob question.
once installed what I'm trying to do is to add a folder for AVChat into /opt/macromedia/fms/applications/ ([URL]). I am assuming that once I do have this instance running, I can move/modify files on the server instance.
I have just started using Adobe Flash Media Server on Amazon Web Services. Does anyone know how can I monitor server statistics such as the number of active connections? I have connected using SSH to the server but I cannot know what to do from this point on?
View 1 RepliesI have created a live stream using Amazon Web Services and Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.AWS provides me with both a .f4m and .m3u8 file, to use in <object><embed> and <video> tags, respectively.The .f4m loads fine on my desktop browser, and the .m3u8 file loads fine on my iOS device. However, my Android devices will not load either file. What code/solutions are there to get this to play on Android devices?[code]
View 4 RepliesBeside Flash Media Encoder, can I use a live stream from Windows Media Services?We have live streaming with Windows Media Server, but now want also offer to mobile devices, but we dont re-encode the entire streams (tvs) again, it would be great if we can use a stream from windows to tunnel it to flash media server.
View 1 RepliesI have installed the FMS 3.5 Server on a separate IP from our main Apache Server: The server is running Redhat Linux 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5
FMS 3.5 running on ***.***.**.138 using ports 1935, 8080 (Admin Server using port 1111)
Apache 2 running on ***.***.**.139 using port 80, 443. (several sites setup on this IP)
However, when accessing the fms_adminConsole.htm in the root directory of one of the domains on ***.***.**.139, all login attempts fail. I am connecting to localhost and using the assigned user and password set up in fms.ini. Using either IP fails as well. The FMS server is set up to listen to all hosts as no specific IPs were set.
/var/log/messages show that FMS and the Admin Server are up an running and listening:
Jul 7 12:15:37 228215-web1 Service[28196]: Server starting...
Jul 7 12:15:37 228215-web1 Service[28196]: Server started (/opt/adobe/fms/conf/Server.xml).

All other settings for FMS are default. This is my first time setting up FMS as a fresh install on a new unknown server and I am at a loss as to what settings to check or which files I may need to modify to get it to connect properly. It is a managed server is hosted by rackspace.com if that makes any difference.
Right now I do not have "server". Example: I do not have anything like windows sever 2000, 2003 etc. but I have and running IIS server on the same Windows XP Pro. On this very same machine I installed FMS server with the Apache that came with the FMS. I have read and followed the instructions time and time again in deferent ways to deploy my video on the server but no idea I used is working so my clients could view my videos. Looking forward to have site like "hulu" / "You Tube".
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to have multiple FMS installation running on 1 linux server?This mean that each fmsadmin, fmsmaster, fmsedge, fmscore will run under a specific user.

View 1 RepliesMy company is about to conduct a big project which involves a flash games website. This website is targeted to the US, meaning it will serve a lot of concurrent users. We bought many flash games and the website is about to be finished, so we must find a hosting company right away.
The website consists of 10 static pages, 140KB each (design+images+CSS).JavaScript is being delivered via Google CDN (jQuery, SWFObject) to save bandwidth.We have 20 SWF games, each weights around 500KB to 6MB top.I'm planning to use dynamic compressions and basically any possible method to save bandwidth and resources, but nevertheless I must get a large hosting for possible growing in the future.SQL is nothing special: DB size will be 150MB top and all tables are indexed using fulltext catalogs and non-clustered indexes.
After doing some research, I've found that big websites are using Amazon's EC2. I tried to contact Amazon but they're weren't really helpful. All I got is the following URL.We are talking about Windows 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

View 1 RepliesI've freshly installed the FSM 4 on windows7, but the start screen no runnng the rtmp video and the administration console no conecting, why?
my firewalls is down and my ports is open like adobe say... why no workig RTMP and my administration console no working?
I have been testing a project with no license key(Dev) and last week I purchased a Flash Streaming license but I go into the fms.ini and insert the key and restart FMS but my streams no longer work and the only error I seem to be getting is: Found Connection Penalty (RTMFP) on core launch, penalty active since time 1294334608.351221 I remove the key and restart the service and everything works fine.
I even tried reinstalling FMS and provide it the key when it asked in the installer but same issue. Is this error related to an issue with the licensing key? There is no error when I remove the key but can't get support through contacting Adobe by phone. I asked what is the proper way to install the key and they said they would open a ticket and contact me back but its been 2 days not including the weekend, I thought it would be a very simple question for the FMS dept that I was speaking with.
i want to make some test in flash media server and i want to install it in windows 7.in the past i can install it an work with it with no problem, now i try to install it and dont work.
View 1 RepliesWith the Flash Media Streaming Server (not the interactive version), is it possible to detect if a live stream is running? I want to show an overview of several live streams on one page. The ones that are not running should show as "offline". The others should show an online thumbnail. I don't want the visitors to have to go to all of the pages only to see that the stream is offline.
