Media Server :: Streaming Vid Skips After Buffering
May 26, 2011
When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering. That said i'd prefer to get to the root of the prob, particularly if this is a codec/keyframe issue, since i could then re-export the vids appropriately.

I am pretty new to scripting and Flash and streaming vid is proving a massive headache at the mo. Have bashed through most of my problems but this one has got me stumped, scripting skills not up to the task. When my streaming videos start they will buffer and begin to play as normal. However, as soon as the vid starts buffering again a problem arises. Basically what is happening is that Flash is buffering the video to a certain point, but instead of resuming playback from the point where the vid paused it now jumps instantly to the end of the newly buffered area without playing the vid portion in between. Which essentially means that it skips merrily through the video and never stops buffering. That said I'd prefer to get to the root of the prob, particularly if this is a codec/keyframe issue, since I could then re-export the vids appropriately. I am using mpg4 (.mov) with H264 compression and keyframes at 1 sec intervals.

I am developing a video player that is almost done, but there is a problem in Bufferbar
I am using a flvplayback for video playing when I use http path for video it show bufferbar working perfectly like below:
Code:
_flvPlayback.source = "http://flash.projectstatus.in/fmsvid/sample.flv";
If I use rtmp path from the fms the bufferbar does not work it shows already full like below:
Code:
_flvPlayback.source = "rtmp://75.126.73.138/vod/flv:sample.flv";
In both case video playing perfectly. Only problem regarding buffering bar.

I have a virtual directory (Storage Area Network) in 'C' drive as well as in "webroot" folder in Flash Streaming Server. What do I need to do to make RTMP videos work from SAN directory on Flash Streaming Server. It works fine for http. RTMP from vod -> application folder works fine. I have done a lot of research and found out that we can use virtual directories for streaming videos. I am unable to find steps on how to use it..

i setup the development versionof fms 3.5 server on windows 2003 server and it worked great in my tests.so we bought the server and are putting it in production now.the only problem is i never "tested" large FLV files.now if i put a large 50+megabytes flv file in the server it constantly buffers on the client.Is there a setting that defines the buffer size to increase the amount of buffer data that gets sent to the client?if i use a small flv file it works flawlessly but for large files it says "buffering" every 2-5seconds on the client.the client is just opening the test page that comes with the server the server has 3000mb/s to the internet and the client has a 20mb/s connection so i don't think bandwidth is an issue...

Can Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 run on AMD Athlon Dual Sock Quad Core?I just requested a Dell server to be added to our farm to run as a Media Server and to my surprise, while reading the requirements for FMS it states the following: 3.2GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor (dual Intel Xeon® or faster recommended)

I have Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5 (not Interactive) running on RHEL5.5 x86_64 Linux.All is working well, however how do I prevent unauthorized access to connecting to the live stream and streaming content?How can I setup the server to require a user and password to stream live media to the server?I am new to this product and I have been reading some documentation but I have not found a clear cut answer on how to force a username and password to connect to the server to stream live content only.I am using the Adobe FMS Apache install, what files need changing?[code]I want to lock down a person from connecting to the server on the public internet and starting a live stream?Can this be done with a user name and password?

I am running into some streaming bugs and am wondering if anyone else has come across them. Very grateful in advance for any help as I've been banging my head against this for a week now.
First of all, I'm finding that no matter what value I set for a NetStream's bufferTime property, the NetStream will not begin actually playing until the bufferLength property is over 2 seconds. This is not what Flash documentation says (that the default value of bufferLength is .1 seconds). Could this issue a function of the FMS configuration with my RTMP hosting account? Is it something I can resolve with my asc file?
Also: In my Actionscript 3 app, I need to pre-buffer a number of video streams so that any one of them can be triggered immediately later in the program. I do this by building an array of NetStreams (within a single NetConnection), then playing each of the streams I need to pre-buffer and immediately pausing each too. This is successfully causing them to buffer in the background, so that they're ready for immediate play when I need them. When I do this with just one NetStream, it works fine. But with more, the streams are behaving unpredictably. They are successfully buffering, but when I need to actually play them and I go to unpause them (Netstream.resume), the NetStreams are generally NOT playing back correctly. Their behavior is not consistent, and they mostly play with no video, or no audio OR video. The one exception is the FIRST NetStream that I started pre-buffering, which is the only one that's consistently playing back fine with its audio and video. Again, if I unpause any of the other NetStreams, they play back with just audio, or not at all.

We (the university I work for) want to add an IP camera to the top of a building (so it has to be IP, we can't put a machine up there, so USB is out of the question) to stream a live view of the quad. The problem is, I can't find a way to stream any IP Cameras through the flash live encoder. I tried a camera by Axis, but their capture driver only supported MJPEG which the live encoder does not.

I'm running Flash Media Streaming Server and have only been serving VOD up until now. I had my network administrator open up port 1935 to the outside world during the setup process and now I can't remember if that was actually required for streaming VOD to clients. Most documentation I've read says that this port should be open, but I seem to recall reading something at one point that suggested it wasn't necessary.
I've just started messing around with publishing live streams using Flash Media Live Encoder to the Flash Media Streaming Server. I have that working without issue but was surprised to find that no authentication is required before a client running the live encoder can publish a stream to the Flash Media Streaming Server. An authentication module is available however it only works with Flash Media Interactive Server and Flash Media Development Server.
If I leave port 1935 open to the outside world, there would be nothing to stop anybody anywhere from streaming video via my server. Anyone else running a default install of Flash Media Streaming Server and with port 1935 open to the outside should see that this is true of their setup as well. I'm wondering if I can safely close port 1935 without limiting the functionality of the server or if there's some way I can require authentication prior to publishing a live stream even though I'm not on the four-and-a-half-times-more-expensive edition of the product.

I have downloaded and installed the Flash Media Server (FMS) trial version. Just purchased the software today and waiting for the activation serial number. I created a video gallery - [URL]. My goal is for these videos to stream just like vimeo. I am only using HD 1280 x 720 video. All videos are between 25 to 125 MB in size, originally .mov files converted to .flv using FFMPEG. Videos are between 30 seconds to 58 seconds in length.
I am using ColdFusion to upload and organize my videos and I have configured FMS to work with CF. The Issue is that these videos buffer the same way they did when I didn't have FMS installed. Press play, the video buffers, the video plays, then stops to buffer again. Stop and Buffer, Stop and Buffer. I can understand if there is buffering at the start of the video but not throughout. When I start the video over from the start, it has to buffer all over again!

I'm using the FLVPlayback to load streaming videos from a FMS. The bug that I'm running into is with the buffering state. Several times the video will enter a buffering state that never ends. The last video event that's fired in this scenario is the BUFFERING_STATE_ENTERED. But if I seek the video on the seekbar, it's playing away.

We are streaming a one hour F4V from streaming media server 3.5.2 and for some reason it is seeing our one hour video as being 10 hours long. We have tons of other videos and never ran into this problem in any of the other files. This is the only file that exceeds one hour. This occurs in the default player from the streaming server.

I'm trying to determine an initial value for NetStream.bufferTime based on the client's calculated bandwidth and the video's bitrate.As far as I can tell you can't do this, because you must have an initial buffer set BEFORE you call NetStream.play() (or use the default 2 seconds) and FMS does not call NetStream.onMetaData, where one would normally find the videodatarate, until after NetStream.play() is called.Even if you modify NetStream.bufferTime during the onMetaData call back it doesn't effect when the video starts playing or when the NetStatus event registers "NetStatus.Buffer.Full".
How do I find the Video Data Rate BEFORE I call NetStream.play?How do how do I reset the initial bufferTime before acctual play back begins and the NetStatus event fires with "NetStatus.Buffer.Full"

I would like to ask if Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server (not Interactive) supports the following Stream.play (server-side streaming), but not necessarily server-side playlists which I know is a FMIS featureunsigned server-side asctionscripts (main.asc) The difference is in the price of course, one is $1000, the other is $5000, so if the two above are supported, I will buy FMSS

I am streaming a playlist of multiple mp4 video files with flash 9 and FMS 3 and have been experiencing strange netStream.time values when the buffering is set for an extra long time on slow connections. When I have my buffer set to something like 60 seconds I'll start experiancing this problem:
the NetStream.time value will return 0 on progress events while buffering, but the moment the buffer is full, instead of reading 0,1,2 +++ it jumps to a really high value, in this case 53.5 seconds, and sticks there until the video (which seems to play correctly from the beginning) catches up to that time and then the netStream.time starts incrementing as it should.
Another relevant fact is that the time the netStream.time gets stuck to always corresponds to the end/begining point between two streams in the playlist. For whatever reason this usually seems to be the third video in the playlist. If the connection is relatively fast and the buffer is set to a smaller value,

I'm building a video conferencing applicaition for a portal. But now when considering which version of flash media server to buy, I run into some problem. So can anyone helps me about comparing this two versions: Flash Media Streaming Server and Flash Media Interactive server, like if I use Flash Media Streaming Server, some function like NetStream.pause() may not work or something like that? I'm not sure if this is a foolish question but please let me know.

I have a windows server box 2008 R2 with Adobe Flash Media Server installed on it version 4.5. I have installed Flash Media Server and input the serial and all that fun stuff. All ports have been forwarded properly, Once the server is up and running I go to the admin console just to make sure all is running well. Once up and running I turn to my Media Encoder and enter my FMS URL as well as the stream, (livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent). I select my input device and it connects and says streaming to primary. Now Yesterday I did this and it was streaming correctly i check with my ipad and the livepkgr was working, I have live video on my ipad. I then went to my website to check and make sure all was working on there and sure enough my live event was being streamed to there was well! Sweet right? No wrong....The server was shut down after this test trial assuming everything was working.
When I turned it on today the flash media encoder still connected and streamed right and when i check the ADMIN console it appears to be working and connected the right way, but my problem is when i go to my website i just get a black screen with nothing playing on it, and on my ipad for some reason I get the last 30 seconds of a piece of the live clip we where streaming last night and then it stops.......I have nooooo clue what is wrong and it is driving me up the wall. My hope is to be able to stream from my mac to my Media Server and then be able to embed it into my website as well as have it playable on ipad/Android (havent worked on android part yet because of this whole problem).

The company I work for installed FMS on a server running Centos for a customer who needed streaming media capabilities. It worked fine for 3 months until today the customer called us and informed us that their client program can no longer connect to the streaming media server. No one has done anything to the server to cause this to happen. When attempting to access the admin console to diagnose the program, the streaming server returned a 500 Internal Server Error. So I tried another page. Same result. Reboots of both the hardware server and the FMS have changed nothing.
