I'm running FMS 3.5. My live streams and recorde streams work fine. Whenever I am in the Admin console though, nothing displays or reports. These screen shots are displaying the FMS server activity while several videos are being streamed around Europe:

I installed FMS 4 on my notebook and I was able to access the console without trouble. I used localhost for the server address. When I installed it on a remote server (Windows 2008), I can't get in. I tried the same thing. I opened it from the file system [URL] and I tried localhost but it didn't work. I've tried other values

One problem could be that I installed Apache but there is already a IIS server using the port 80. When I look in the service panel, FMSApache says it is starting but not started.
Anybody know how to configure SSL just for admin console acccess ?
View 1 RepliesIm having trouble getting the FM Administrative Console to connect to my AWS FMS. I have an instance running and can view the default page and samples. I opened ports 1111 and 1935 and have also modified the fms.ini file to include a user name and password. Restarted the FMS as well.
View 1 RepliesWe just installed our FMIS on Amazon services (EC2) and cannot log into the admin console. The server is running fine and we can resolve the web interface. Is there any configuration of ports or additional user accounts other than the install credentials (root/XXXXXXX).?
View 2 RepliesI recently setup Flash Media Server on Amazon EC2 and things are going well so far; however the admin console wont login. I've set the username, password, and port in the config file and opened that port, among others, in the security group. I've then restarted both FMS and admin server multiple times.
When I try to login I get no errors. Nothing happens at all. When I open FireBug and/or Fiddler2 to watch the communication, I'm not seeing a single thing happen. Clicking "Login" submits no requests at all. Do I just not understand how FMS works? I would assume some sort of request would need to be made.
New to FMS, testing FMS Developers versions.Connect and Live stream works fine using FMLE.Problem is I'm not sure how to get logged into the Admin Console.I'm not sure about what the "Server Name" is or the "Server Address". Is that just the IP address or the IP plus something else? How can I tell?FMS install was done by tech at hosting company and he forwarded this info:[code]
View 14 RepliesI have a FMS server running that I am hosting some VOD content on. I am using HTTP dynamic streaming to deliver this content. Everything runs fine from a technical standpoint, but I am unable to see the connection details in the Admin Console. I have loaded vod -> defaultinst under the applications tab in the console. No connection details populate.
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).
[Code]....
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.
Randomly on Sunday night the FMS Admin Console which you can access via [URL] stopped working, as in it would not load. It times out and Firefox says 'Server Not Found' It was working fine on Sunday morning and has been doing for a year now, I rebooted the server and that did nothing. I have no idea why it will not load as the server runs fine and I can still stream and everything.
View 20 RepliesMy employer has a Flash Media Server that I wrote a little streaming video app for a couple years ago.Well, the videos have stopped working and I've been asked to troubleshoot. I fired up the fms_adminConsole.swf and connected to my server. Now, it's been a long time since I've messed with the server, but if I remember right, there was a big list of apps on the list on the left hand side of the "View Applications" view of the console. When I log in, there are no applications listed. If I hit the "New Instance" button under the empty list, I'm presented with a list of all the apps I think I should be seeing in the Applications list. If I select any of these, a new application instance appears in the applications list, and I'm prompted to give it a name, the default being "_definst_". If I hit enter to create this instance, it remains on the list and instance data appears on the right panel until the console refreshes, and then all that vanishes and I'm back to an empty applications list again.
Going to "Manage Servers", I do see a list of applications under the applications tab that I expect to see. The app that streams the video that's having problems is there on the list.
Is this typical behavior for the Flash Media Server Console? Shouldn't I have a list of apps in the "View Applications" section of the console? I've created about a dozen to date, and they're all listed under Manage Servers > Applications, but not under "View Applications". Can anyone point out if I'm doing something wrong here or missing something?Or can someone confirm that I SHOULD be seeing something under "View Applications" and that there is indeed something weird going on with the server.
I'm attempting to view Shared Object data in my FMS Administration Console, but I consistently get the error:Object encoding error; terminating connection.I'm using Flex 3 with FMS 3.5, I'm positive that everything is using AMF3. The Shared Objects do seem to work. I can connect to the shared object through another instance of the app and pull saved data but they are not inspectable in the administration console. Also,very often when a new instance connects to the server I get a RangeError and all of my Flash Player instances crash.
View 9 RepliesI reverted the admin console account on a new setup of Media server 4 and it will not let me connect or login using the "administrator" login? Does it set the password to some defaut?

View 1 RepliesWe can't login to the Admin Console. After we enter credentials and click login. Error message comes up. "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script? "if we say no, it comes back. If we say yes it aborts script but we never login to admin console.
FMS is running fine, it just seems to be the flash movie that can't open. We have set it up to allow each website we are running to have its own application. since we have 1500+ applications running, we think this might be the issue. Can someone let us know if there is a application limit per server running FMS and/or should we take the 1500 websites and have them all share the same application?

If I use rtmp path from the fms the bufferbar does not work it shows already full like below:

In both case video playing perfectly. Only problem regarding buffering bar.
I've freshly installed the FSM demo on a redhat linux box, and have everything working. From that start screen running on Local Host, I click the "Play video (HTTP)" and that video of a train shows up. Cool. But when I click the link above it ("Play Video (RTMP)") I get an error message: "Connection Error. press Play to try again." and no matter how many times I hit play, I get that same message. The Dynamic stream doesn't work either, and the Interactive sucessfully displays webcam feeds, but doesn't show the "Play Live Stream" button thing. Is there anything special you have to do to get the RTMP stuff working? Some special command or server you have to run?
Would firewalls intefere with things (I'm pretty sure there isn't one on the machine, but I'm flailing wildly here) or would permissions mess things up? I'm completely lost ^_^;; I guess I should also add that there doesn't seem to be any log files. I'm looking under the server install directory, and there isn't even a "log" folder. There isn't one under Apache, either. It confuses me. So far all I can find on the internet is instructions to look at the log files...but if they aren't there... Am I just looking in the wrong places, or are they just not being generated yet? I did a tcpdump with wireshark, and the web app IS pinging port 1935 (for RTMP), but the packets are failling the checksum and are refusing to be reassembled because of that. Is this making sense to ANYBODY?
Just like the title says I am using Flash Media Live Encoder and I have three streams. The encoder is sending the streams just fine but I am not sure how to deliver it to the client. The only one that shows up is "livestream1". "Livestream2" and "Livestream3" won't even come up.
View 2 RepliesWe 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.
The first event I streamed tonight worked fine for an hour or so then it stopped being accessible from the web. I had no problem viewing the stream on mobile devices though. The log file shows these errors.
[Code]....
I can see the three stream directories get created but only one of them has all the files- bootstrap,control,meta,f4f,f4x. The other two stream directories only contain a control file. The event is streaming perfectly on iOS devices but not on PC's. The stream starts for a second then stops and displays the message 'Unable to connect to the content you've requested'.
I've been experimenting with Dynamic Streaming while in the process of writing a tutorial. The documentation is quite clear on a few points: The keyframe interval in the various encodings should be shortThe bufferlength should be at least 2x the keyframe intervalThe player should sense a bandwidth change, by default, within the 4-second sampling interval and call for a switch. Then, the switch could take as long as 2x the keyframe interval after that. What I'm finding is wildly different behavior than this. It takes anywhere from 10-15 seconds for the player to notice the change and call for a switch, then another 20-40 seconds for the switch to happen. When switching up to a higher bitrate stream, this just means the user gets low bitrate video for longer than they ought to. But when switching down due to falling bandwidth, the buffer runs out and the user stares at the rebuffering sign for a lengthy time - long enough to give up on watching the video, for sure.
I've encoded an H.264 MP4 file at 64, 384, and 768 kbps, at 30fps and an "every 60 frames" keyframe interval. I've streamed it rtmp via two different CDNs that use FMS 3.5, into two different Flash video players (JW Player and Flowplayer). I've restricted my bandwidth on Windows XP with Netlimiter 2.0; and on the Mac with 'ipfw'. I've set bufferlength between 4 and 10 seconds. I've tested switching up and switching down. For up, I start with a 200kbps bandwidth limit. The video starts OK with the correct stream, then at 5 seconds I open up the bandwidth to unrestricted. For testing down, I do the opposite: start at unrestricted and then at 00:05 restrict to 200kbps.
My test page, with both players and sample code is at [URL] n-flash-bitrate-switching/ I also have a couple of screen recordings there showing the behavior of the whole process, both switching up and switching down. I thought I've done everything right here - paid attention to every documented detail, but it works rather poorly. Can someone explain whether this is expected behavior, if the players have implemented dynamic switching poorly, or if I'm doing something wrong?
I'm trying to start this live broadcasting show throw the free application called "Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.2", but to start this I would need a serve to start everything. So I decided to experiment with your wonderful "Flash Media Serve 4 :Dev version," before I buy the full version for massive scale of use( to stream live camera.) , but I ran into a problem when I'm in the log in screen console. I can asure you that I typed everything correct from the installation sequence and Im also fallowing this tutorial [URL] when I ran into the login screen this is what I find : an error message saying "Log in attempt has failed.
Please verify your log in information and try again." So that's what I technically do and I get the same message every single time I try. Since I know my password and my username really good , I know im not wrong. But my attempt with server address simes to be the problem. So you guy can know what I'm typing on that text box I type "localhost" without the "".

View 4 RepliesI am using remote Win Server 2003 R2 via rdesktop. As an "administrator", I installed FMS 3.5 - Developer version using default options. Media Server starts, runs, and appears to work. Admin Server is not running. When I attempt to start it (from Win admin services tools), I get error 1067 (Error registering class: name mismatch (%1$S, %2$S)). Everything done remotely as an administrator.
View 4 RepliesI simply can not login to the admin server. I'm connecting to the flash admin-frontend which is hosted on the same server which the FMS is running on. The FMS version is 3.0.1 and it's running on RHEL5.
I've set the user and password in conf/fms.ini. I have checked that I have permission to connect in conf/Users.xml. Everything seems like it should work, but it just won't let me in and when looking in the logs (logs/admin.00.log) I just get a lot of lines saying "Failed login attempt from."
Apart from this the server works. We are still using it for streaming and we have been able to login to the admin interface before, but it was a long time ago and now it just won't work anymore.
