I have an FMS Clustered in Edge-Origin configuration. Can I have different Origins for different applications but the same edges?.I have multiple edges forwarding the requests to the Origins based on the application name?[code]And if its possible, can someone advice the advantageous of having different Origins for different Applications?

I am having a multi user application running in FMS. I need to cluster them using Edge/Origin with Origin failover.I went thru, http:[url]......My questions are,1) which software load balancer can I use? Is there possiblitiy of configuring the fms server to be reverse proxy.http:[url].... in the below link its mentioned that we can configure edges in 4 ways.Client auto discovery proxyServer auto discover (reverse proxy)Explicit URIImplicit URI (recommended)what configs do I need to do.I was successfut only Explicit URI way by configuring the Vhost.xml. How would I do for others?
View 1 RepliesI was successfully able to setup FMS edge-origin cluster but Origin-only clustering is the one we wanted for our live applications. The only place I found was 'Large Scale Deployment with FMIS'. I guess for Origin Only Clustering, we need to have our own caching system. What does get cached in a Live AV Chat? How do I propagate it to other Origins? What kind of plugins would I need for cache managing? What should the plugin do?
In the attached Origin Only Architecture, what does the Primary Origin do and Secondary Origin do? I thought Origin is the place where the application is actually running and Edges do proxy. Is it the same here in Origin-only clustering also? Are there any tools which can measure the lag in AV? (like performance measuring tools or load testing tools for FMS). What kind of software Load Balancer can we use for FMS clustering? (Like Nginx, Zeus or something?)
where can I find step by step guide for clustering FMS? url...but , it is not clear what exactly to do , it just says like :Install and configure the first Flash Media Server.Use the same serial number and license file each time you install Flash Media Server.NOTE A special cluster license file is required. For more information, contact your Macromedia representative.Confirm that this Flash Media Server instance is working correctly.Configure the Flash Media Server instance as an origin server.Install and configure the next Flash Media Server in the cluster.Configure this Flash Media Server instance as an edge server.Make sure this edge server points to the origin server.Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each edge server that your license file allows. ".

View 1 RepliesI have setup an Origin and Edge server to offload live and VOD content. However, my end-users are pointing explicitly at the Edge server.

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to use origin/edge setup when streaming using HDS ? I have succesfully tested using RTMP but when I try the HDS string - get error "we are having problems with playback". I can view the stream directly if I connect to the origin server. I have 1x origin server and 1x edge server.
View 2 RepliesI just came accross edge origin configuration. I was wondering if this would be good if I use Edge-Origin configuration on live applications, like live Video Chat or sharing a drawing board. I understand that they will be useful in case of failures of edges. But unlike 'videos on demand' applications like streaming, edges will help since the edges will cache them. So for a live application, apart from failover any other advantages of having Edge-Origin setup?
View 3 Replieswe have an origin server where video materials are stored and one edge where clients are conected to.
If i allow clients to connect directly to core server it can go easily to 1000 users without any problems. If the clients connects to edge after 100 users the player will start buffering the video every few seconds.
On the other hand if i connect a FMLE to core ( same video bitrate as materials already encoded ) clients can connect to edge and there is no problem
( tested with 1000 users ) and no buffering issues appeared.
There is no IO wait problem on core, edge is configured not to use any cache. There is no connectivity isssue between master and edge.
Both origin and edge are 4.0.3.
I'm stuck trying to get a Stream.play() call on a recorded video file (.flv) to translate from origin to edge servers. Don't even know if it's possible. If I call Stream.play() on a server, and connect a viewer directly to that server, the viewer sees the stream play. If I call Stream.play() on an origin server and connect a viewer to edge servers the stream does not play.
Is it possible to configure in any way that the play() call would propagate to edge servers? According to FMS 3.5 docs on the Stream class, the following is the case:
"When you call Stream.play()on the server, the server becomes the publisher."
See [URL].
If that server becomes a publisher and lets say it was an origin server on a CDN, shouldn't the other machines in the configuration receive the published stream? Somehow when you publish a live stream to an origin server it makes its way to edge servers. Is this analogy not relevant to the scenario wherein you call Stream.play() on a recorded file?
We are currently deciding what to use: Wowza(not so much, since they are undergoing the lawsuit) or Adobe Flash Media Server. The problem is that I couldn't find any information on how to configure the loadbalancer using FMS. I tested with Wowza and they use built-in loadbalancer but not so for FMS. Forgot to mention that we need it mostly for live events using RTMP protocol. My current configuration has 1 origin server + 2 edge servers(trial developers edition). I can manage to play livestream from the edge--origin servers using egde url. How can I configure the edge server so that when I connect to the origin server it redirects me to the least loaded edge server?
I tried to set up the connection limit for the origin server for 2 connections(one for the fmle, one for edge) and connect with 5-10 clients but my origin server didn't redirect the stream to the edge.
Is it possible that support origin/edge configuration with http-based in FMS? If so, how do I configuration for that?

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.
We have an application that works no problems on our server with FMS in test mode. As soon as we enter our FMS license key we get this error: "application is not a valid signed application loading access denied".We removed the license key and it works again, but with user limits obviously, so this is not an acceptable fix.
View 5 RepliesIs there any application which can relay another application on Flash Media server? For exmaple I have a "live" application on the server. I want another application, "liverelay" which can basically relay what is coming on the "live" application. Is it possible? If so how can I implement it? Looking forward to a response.

View 5 RepliesThe server hosting our FMS does not have space to adequately store the media files over time. I have since connected a 500GB external drive to the server. This drive is mapped as the Z drive. I am not exactly sure how I need to edit my application.xml for all http requests to point to this external drive. Below is a small sample of the file. How would I correctly edit this file? Would I just add a line that says <Streams>/;${Z:VOD_DIR}</Streams> ? Do I need to delete either of the below lines?
- <Application>- <StreamManager>- <VirtualDirectory>- <!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams. --> <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> </VirtualDirectory> </StreamManager>
