Sometimes RTMFP stops working on my server, and I have to restart it for RTMFP to work again.Here is what I saw in the error log :
2011-04-29 05:43:17 26120 (i)2631502 The server rejected an invalid flow. -
2011-04-29 05:44:22 26120 (i)2641213 Connection rejected by server. Reason : [ Server.Reject ] : Adaptor: _defaultRoot_, VHost: TheFMSServer, App: Application/_definst_, (onConnect call

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.

When I connect from FMLE to FMSS server I see warning in /var/log/messages.

Everything works fine. Should I be concerned about this message?
FMLE is win XP SP3 versin 3.2
FMSS is Linux RH6 version 4.0
I am testing RTMFP unicast for a video chat project using FM Developer Server 4.0.During the testing I overloaded the upload traffic to make packets dropped rather than suffering delay due to retransmission.
However, I see it makes a significant delay and it looks like doing retransmission just like RTMP.
Do you know if there is an option in FMS to disable the retransmission or other configuration I have to consider?One thing I found is "Netstream.videoReliable=false; Netstream.audioReliable=false;" but it doesn't make any difference.
We're on the way to buy a 1 CPU license for FMES4 and I'm looking if anyone can provide real world benchmarks. We will use a Intel X5680 CPU with dual Port 10Ge NIC and we're wondering how much concurrent p2p RTMFP Session the server will be able to handle.
If a p2p RTMFP Session can not be created we want fallback to another server instance with the cheaper FMIS4 on it, is this the right way to handle this?
I'm using the RTMFP protocol to publish and play video and audio, but i'm with a little problem. I installed the FMS 4 Development Server in a Windows Server machine located in our local network and it works perfectly. In order to deploy our application, we have a remote server with a fresh install of the Ubuntu 10.04 Server, and the FMS 4 installed in this server. In other server we have the Java and Flex application, which will be used in the client browser.
The problem is that when trying to change the NetConnection url to the remote FMS server, which is the Ubuntu server, the netconnection can't connect to it. When changing to the RTMP protocol it connects, but with the RTMFP don't. I can't find any information in the log files or anything else.
I'm using FMS Streaming 3.5.0 r405 on linux servers to stream videos with RTMP/RTMPT. We have decided to use the new proxying function to redirect HTTP requests to a Web server. We did not install the included Apache server, but used a lighttpd server installed on the same machines and configured to listen on port 81. So when a client connects with our player, it tries first RTMP, RTMPT and if it times out on these attemps, we try to go through with HTTP. FMS proxies the HTTP request received on port 80 to the lighttpd server on port 81.
My fms.ini file contains: # Whether to start and stop the included HTTP server along# with FMS.#SERVER.HTTPD_ENABLED = false
# IP (address and) port that Flash Media Server should proxy# unknown HTTP requests to. Leave empty to disable proxying.# With no address, specifies a localhost port.# For example:# HTTPPROXY.HOST = webfarm.example.com:80#HTTPPROXY.HOST = :81
This works well, but after a few hours, the HTTP proxy of FMS does not work anymore. Lighttpd is still responding on port 81. There is no error in all log files. Just stops working! I have to restart FMS to enable again the tunnel. This behavior happens on all my streamers.
We have a FMS 3.5.3 running on a production server, a 2x quad-core Xeon E5345 CPU based hardware with Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit OS.
The FMS service streams live streams to hundreds of simultaneous Adobe Flash Player 10 clients through RTMP at port 1935.ally with a higher number of simultaneous clients connected (around 1, one can see a rising number of clients of the loaded (single) application (never diminishing) through the Administration Console. It appears that the clients "linger" - i.e. the number only counts up, never down, from then on.
As if this was not sign of problems enough in itself, the bandwidth graph drops to near zero - i.e. it appears that streaming stops working too. Restarting application helps. The logs do not show anything UNTIL AFTER application is attempted unloaded via console. There are messages of various importance in the event log, among these the weird warning "Asynchronous I/O operation failed (Failed to attach to completion port: The parameter is incorrect. 87)." There is more too, which I can provide on demand.
The application is pretty rudimentary. Of the entire API, we only use Application, Client and SharedObject classes. There is a single persistent shared object, and that's it.
We are using a clean install. Only Microsoft supplied and FMS processes are running. Windows Firewall is on though, and has rules for letting in connections on ports 1935 and 1111. We need a stable server, and I have to restart it manually every day, sometimes twice in an hour, which frustrates me.
I am trying to make clients to connect FMS4 server over RTMFP for my video conferencing application.It is basically a client-server media relay application in which clients with webcam/mic connect the server and the server relays video/audio data to other clients. This application is working perfectly with FMS 3.0 but it was RTMP rather than RTMFP - I simply replaced 'RTMP' with 'RTMFP' in netConnetion and tried to test in Flash Media Development Server 4.0, but it is failed to make a connection from a client - it was working after replacing it back with 'RTMP' of course.
I believe server-client media relay is possibe using RTMFP in FMS4 because Adobe said:"Although RTMFP is often used for peer-assisted networking applications, you can use RTMFP in unicast, broadcast, and multi-point publishing applications as well. Simply replace the RTMP protocol in the NetConnection.connect() call with the RTMFP protocol:" in url...
today I install fms3.5 on my pc.
1)I can use rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v , it works ok. But when I use rtmp://192.168.8.3/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v, I got Netconnect.connection.rejected. 192.168.8.3 is my fms server IP.
2)When I set fms use port 1935 and 80, rtmp://192.168.8.3/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v works ok on other pc. But using wireshark(Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows.) I found , the flash player connect 1935 port at first, it send "connect",the server replay "connection.rejected" and "no scope "vod" on this server". Than it connect to 80 port, so I see the video is not send throw 1935 port with rtmp, but throw 80 port with rtmpt. Why? How can I see video throw rtmp?
We are getting message "Connection has been rejected due to license limit" in flash media server 2.0.5 at the time of connecting to the server. Previuosly that server works fine but today when we tried got above message. May be some changes occur on the system as we dont have controll for that system. But we can check FMS 2.0.5 on that system through managment console of FMS. Please suggest us in which direction we have to look.
View 2 RepliesWe have one application in which we are using flash media server 2.0.5. We dont know why it's stop taking connection occasionally at that time we can't enter into the managment console. We get a white screen. When we try to enter user name and password it's does not accpet the credentials. We are not getting anything in the log.Port number 1935 and 1111 of the particular system where FMS has placed are working fine.
View 7 RepliesMy rtmp client connects to the server ok and rtmp data flowing ok for about 4hours, in the wireshark trace I can see that the server just stops sending data roughly after 4hours. The server version is 3.5.1, and I also try it on a 4.0 server the data stops coming from the server as well after 5+hours. There are no errors or any indication of session disconneciton in the diagnostic logs. I have also looked thru the settings in applicaiton.xml and server.xml I just don't see any obviious reason for the issue. I do send rtmp Acknowledgement to server after the client receives "window size" bytes, and the client sends ping response to server.
View 1 Repliesthe question is,a client which can use "rtmfp" to connect to a FMS server,and the connecting success,Whether Can not guarantee that the client can play the Multicast video? because the client may be behind a Special firewall So he may connect to the FMS server ,but can not use P2P to connect to the members those are in the group?
If the answer is "yes",Whether i should make a check function that make these client back to "RTMP"?
I built a simple rtmfp app using flash builder (I tested using the cirrus dev key to make sure it connects) but I cant seem to use the rtmfp service on my fms development server. Ive modified the index.html (in the webroot dir on the fms computer) to provide a link to a folder containing the html file and the swf file generated from my flash builder project. When I type in "rtmfp://localhost/" on my app I receive a "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" or a "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected" (if i do it directly on the fms computer).
Do I need to place my app in the "applications" directory to run properly? Ive checed the adaptor.xml file and everthing seems correct, I even added my public ip to the host port field, is there some confguration I missed?
Im not sure what Im doing wrong, Ive double checked my router and the fms computer's firewall thorugh a port scan and found the ports to be allowing traffic through.
I am looking for a sample media player using OSMF for RTMFP P2P streaming media.

I have established Flash Media Server 4.5 on the house computer with win7 a router wasn't present, the cord goes on a straight line to the computer, at me allocated IP. I want that it was possible to address to the server from the Internet. At first video was started only on a local computer, then after change resolved ип in "adaptor.xml" the starting page of the server has started to open with other computers and examples work, video plays. But to incorporate on "rtmfp" leaves only from that computer on which there is a server (under the test on http://cc.rtmfp.net/all green points and one more too with all green points) leaves that computers can incorporate to the server on "rtmp" as the example of the server with video translation works well, but on "rtmfp" connects only those at whom green points.

View 6 RepliesI see that the new Flash Media Servers were released. Looking over the information on the product pages, Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is the only available product that supports RTMFP connections?
We currently have Flash Media Server 3.5 and our product utilizes RTMP connections, but I've been working with your Stratus Server and RTMFP and have found that the new protocol better fits our needs. However, the price for Flash Media Enterprise Server 4 is beyond our budget. Is there any possibility that RTMFP support are/will be available in the lower levels of Flash Media Server?
a client publishes a simple webcam and microphone. I noticed that if I use rtmfp the admin console shows between 30 to 200 messages dropped for a simnple webcam at 320x240 10fps quality 69 and audio speex at quality 6. sor after some minutes the video is unsynchronized with the audio. I turned off aggregateMsg and queue. if I use RTMP there is 0 dropped packets.

Only the Flash Media Enterprise Server(FMES) has the "RTMFP peer introduction services" [URL] influxis created SmartMesh which enables p2p in Flash Media Interactive Server(FMiS). [URL] I couldn't find info on what does the peer introduction service do, what is the difference in capabilities of FMiS and FMES and what is the difference between RTMFP unicast and RMTFP multicast. Is it possible to create a p2p rtmfp connection between two clients with FMiS assuming I have a webservice that help clients exchange FarID?
View 1 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 RepliesI am building an enterprise application which involves many to many video chat. Most of the chats at any given time will be idle but they still need to trasmit some frames to keep the video chat alive and let other person know that someone is available. Will I be able to achieve this without any media server such as FMS and wowza? I heard about data packet loss during RTMFP. Is that true? What would be my limitations?
View 1 RepliesI have application that uses the send functionally in the NetStream on the server-side. When a connect to the app using rtmp I am able to see the send come thru but if the app uses rtmfp it does notI gone thru all the examples in setting up a mutlicast app and I know the app works because when I publish a video out everyone in the group sees the video. The only thing not working is send. I've also set dataReliable to true.
View 3 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?
Let's say user A connected to the FMS server with an RTMFP NetConnection, and user B connected to the server with an RTMP connection. If I want to connect them together, would it be better if I also connect A to an RTMP NetConnection to the server?
View 4 RepliesI'd like to hear some opinions about using NetGroups VS. using direct p2p connections between everybody, considering there would either be 2,3 or 4 people max in the group.
View 1 RepliesHow can I send some data to ALL peers via p2p-network?I tried using netgroup.post() but not all users recieved this messages.Then I tried to get peers to resend ( via post() ) all the data they have received - this works well, but produces large amounts of additional traffic for all peers (3Ñ…-5Ñ… and more)Is there a way guaranteed to deliver a message from the server to all peers? (not sending data from a server directly to each peer)
