We use FMIS (3.5) to distribute our videos, but how can I use HTML5 to view them without duplicating the video to the HTTP VOD directory.Can I point to the application FMS file location like I can with RTMP in some way?

I use Flash Media Server 4 and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 for a strem rtmp.
I set FMS url to rtmp:localhost/livepkgr and I set stream name to :livestream.m3u8
I started FMS and I'd want to play my stream in a HTML5 video tag.
I have not changed FMS4 parameter, and I'd want to insert the src attribute in video tag.
So, I've got my videos set up on the server structure right. I've got them referenced properly in the Flash playback component.But some of the videos on the server stream and some don't.The ones that don't still show up as connections in the Administrator, though
View 5 RepliesMy swf is playing one video in using NetConnection, NetStream and Video object. If I want to stream one more video simultaneously in the same swf I have a few problems. It works when I create more NetConnection, NetStream and Video objects but is that necessary? The code rapidly becomes complex to handle.
Is there an easier way like perhaps share the NetConnection, or something (same FMS server)?
Question 2
The two videos on the stage are suppose to have different size, placement etc. Still the last one created inherit the properties of the first video display. It also starts playing for an annoying couple of seconds before the first one. How can I avoid that (inherit and delay)?
var ns1:NetStream;
var ns2:NetStream;
var nc1:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

I need to build a website which shows multiple instruments in a band, being played in sync. Each camera/video block is a different instrument, and played together, they constitute an entire band. I have been searching high and low for ways to do this, and it definitely appears that HTML5 is out. It looks like standard FLV progressive download is out, too, because it's impossible to get 4-8 videos to sync perfectly.
I see on the FMS page that it has some abilities in synching. How would one (conceptually) go about making a webpage where say 4-8 videos begin to buffer, then when ready, play in sync? And they would also need to, when the location is changed, all sync to that location and rebuffer.
The objective is so that the user can mute/solo each video's audio, to remove an instrument(s) from the "mix" at any time.An alternative way of doing this, I think, would be to just put the 4-8 videos together in video editing, and encode this into one video, but have each video's audio track be a separate audio channel. If FMS can do multichannel audio on one video, this might work, if it could mix them in/out individually, as the user requires.
Tested versions:
4.5.
Our problem is: When we used Flash Media Developer Server 4.5 (Trial), we can use Share folder. However, when we bought Streaming Server and deployed with same file structure, we can't use Share folder but Local folder only.
Is there any limitation of using Share folder in Streaming Server?
Configuration:
It's standard. we set fms.ini in Windows.

I am not able to play video on mobile device which is .3gp container and H.263 / AMR_NB encoded. I just want to play my website videos in mobile device also just like[url]....I want to use RTMP and HTTP both. My requirement is as follows - Which codec and container will be best? Should I use FLV to play video on mobile device? RTSP required or can be use RTMP? Is NetStream and NetConnection methods different from Flash Player in Flash Lite Player? How to play 3gp video using RTMP stream ie.ns.play(mp4:mobilevideo.3gp, 0, -1, true) is it ok or any thing else required? For mobile browser and computer browser,can I use single player or I have to make different player for computer browser and mobile browser? It would be better if I can do it with single player for both mobile and computer browser. Sample code required for testing. If you can.I got below article in which they mention that we can play video 3gp container in mobile also.

I have recently purchase and insalled FMS4.I have created several .FLV video files and (.MP4 h264 files for failback for those who would like to view the videos from iOS devices).I have the .FLV files working great on the streaming player (Longtail) using RTMP.My player allows for a failback to .MP4 version of the video for 'Progressive Download' and 'Download'.I understand that HTML5 will not work with RTMP.Is there a way to house these .MP4 files on the FMS and serve them using HTTP from the FMS?Is there an area within FMS that allows HTTP serving?I read something awhile back about setting up Apache Server HTTP to serve the videos.Is this feasble or I'm I better off just putting the files on my web server and linking to them there?Can someone give me some advice on best practices when using failback for HTML5 videos in cases where flash in not available?
View 1 RepliesI 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..
View 4 RepliesI'm testing out Adobe Flash Media Server and Wowza Flash Server and am trying to accomplish the following... Web server and Flash server are on different computers... Flash server is configured to stream vod files (.flv) from a remote file share (UNC path) on a separate Windows domain server.
I was able to get both servers configured and working. The final piece is to move both Flash servers to the DMZ segment of our firewall and test from outside our network. On the DMZ, the Wowza Server is able to connect to the remote file share and stream video as it's apparently leveraging the credentials I entered when I mapped a network drive to the file share and supplied valid domain credentials. The Adobe Flash Server is not able to connect to the remote file share and stream video because it seems that the connection method that the Adobe Flash Server uses is reliant upon the Adobe Flash Server Windows service account being a domain account... and when the server is on the DMZ it cannot access our domain controllers to authenticate.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of situation.? Or know if there's a way for Adobe Flash Server to leverage drive mapping credentials as opposed to the credentials that it starts the Windows service with?

View 3 RepliesI have an *.flv file on a FMS. When I play it on the client side the video plays just fine, but when I call Stream.play(filename, 0, -1, false) on the server side the video turns out really choppy.I both cases I use NetConnection to connect to an rtmp and NetStream to play the stream, but in one case I connect to a stream and request the server to play my file on that stream. Apparently that doesn't work with files? It works just fine for live streams.
View 20 RepliesI am streaming pre recorded audio files (mp4) to an AIR client. I have tried two different solutions,
streaming the file directly with the NetStream.play("mp4:xxxxx.m4a") and creating a server side playlist, adding the same sound clip and then streaming the playlist. The problem is, when streaming the playlist i get a few NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW, this does not happen when streaming the file direct. Both solutions uses bufferTime=1.0
I would like to use a server side playlist to implement a simple key solution so that the client dont know the full path to the file, but instead sends a key to a custom server side function that looks up the file path and creates a stream for the client.
I downloaded Flash Server and FMLE 3.2 to test live streaming to test HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) to IPhones and Ipads.
I watched Kevin Towes tutorial about this from the following link: [URL]
It looks like Kevin is accesing an .m3u8 file from the video src tag. I can't get the m3u8 file to output from FMS.
I can receive a f4m file, but no m3u8. Don't IPads & IPhones need the m3u8 file?
I am trying the out of the box configuration of the Flash Server that I found on an Adobe Tutorial [URL]

I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. It gives me a file not found error when I try to download the .m3u8 file from the following location... [URL]
We recently purchased FMS4 and I'm in the midst of setting it up. However, not that it's a HUGE deal, but....
I see conflicting answers in the forums about whether or not it is possible to stream media in the HTML5 <video> tag (going back to early 2010).
Ideally, I'd like to stream (most of the time using flash), but for the specific browsers that support it, (chrome, ff, IE9, and select iOS devices) HTML5 video tags.
So, can FMS 4 do that?
<video id="something" controls="controls">
<source src="http://video.mydomain.com/vod/myMovie.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
[Code].....
If so, how? I gave it a shot using the above code (minus the "blah, blah, blah" ), and the video doesn't play - if all it is, is a syntax error, then please be so kind as to provide the correct syntax.
However, if it isn't possible unless you download something else, like the File Packager for HTTP Streaming or the Origin module for HTTP Dynamic Streaming..
I have read that you can stream protected audio/video to iOS based devices with the new FMS 4.5.Is it also possible to stream protected A/V to a HTML5/JS based Player.

I paste this into a web page hosted on another ( ordinary, nonFMS ) server, I see the player show up, but after 5 seconds I get message that the player cannot connect, please click Play to try again. Of course same work fine if the page is hosted out of webroot on the FMS server. So I assume the "example" does not include absolute URL's so I tried hacking in full URL's for the swfs/videoPlayer.swf and the rtmp:/ URLs to no avail. Which makes it a pretty poor "example" IMO. I also noticed that the .smil file itself also includes a relative URL to the vod app, I modified that as well - the object tags still works only when hosted from the /webroot folder.
So what should this "example" really look like with absolute URL's to use in a real way? Also is there some content protection mechanism which is preventing this from being embedded in other pages not hosted locally?
I have a web page that allows users to upload video files. Part of the process is that once a video is uploaded it goes through the flvcheck to make sure it is good. For some reason when I upload a large video (over 1.5 GB) it fails the flvcheck. When I run flvcheck manually on the video, it passes.
