Media Server :: Getting Setup For Live HD Broadcast?
Dec 4, 2010
I have a task before me that I have not spent any time researching in the past because I never thought I would have to do it... I need some specific advice from some of you gurus out there.I need to set up a training facility in which we film a teacher in HD and broadcast it live across the internet to 30 locations around town. I also need to have a live chat going with the video in which any of the viewers can ask a question to the teacher and he/she can answer it in the lecture being given.
The 30 locations that the viewers will be at will be a board room setting with an HDTV on the wall , and maybe a wireless keyboard and mouse that they can share to chat with the teacher.I know I can quickly figure out all of the video stuff, like lighting and cameras. I really need advice on all of the technical stuff that it takes for the live broadcast on the internet.
I imagine that I will choose a content delivery network, but which one? I imagine that I will use Flash Media Server, but which version? Do I need a real time transoding device to feed the analog HD video signals to to feed it to the computer? The company has T1, is it fast enough on the uploading to get what we need done?
I've successfully set up a media server and a live broadcast today. I embedded the swf file into my website and my friends are able to see my broadcast. But my broadcast is only 10M. And the streaming bit rate is 1700. So once the audience is bigger than 6, the broadcast starts to slow down. I've seen on the website that peer-based networking technology can significantly reduce the bandwidth for a single stream, so that the audience can be expanded. Is there any tutorial describing how to implement this? BTW, is there any free VOD/LIVE template available on the net? I would like to encorporate a vod system on my website.
I am trying to broadcast live video using a webcam. I am using the developer version of FMS3.0. Actually i have a working code of webcam broadcasting, which i used before. But now i am using a free version of FMS3.0. When i tried to connect, the following error is showing:
I currently use FMS 4.5 to steam Live Technical Videos.
Hooked into Flash Media Live Encoder is a Roland VR-5 which lets me have multiple Camera switching.
I want to braodcast also a few live Audio only streams. I could easily use the VR-5 which in turn has a Behringer Audio Mixer attached to allow up to 16 Audio devices to be mixed in, and then just turn off the Video option in Flash Media Live Encoder but:
I don't want to have to put a video window on the Webpage. I just want an Audio controller.
So how can I use FlashMedia Server to just stream a live Audio feed?
No I have installed fms4.5, but I can't find good docs how to set something like this up. In Learning section I saw a lesson, but this one isn't ready.So I want to publish using flash and the subscribers to the livestream can be iPhones or Browsers.
I have a question regarding FMS 3.5 and live streaming with failover protection. Currently, we are running a single server with FMS 3.5 for our VOD and live streaming events and its been working great. Recently during our last live video stream the server decided to die and naturally the live stream was lost. To prevent such a future scenario from happening, and given that I am on limited budget what would be a best method of prevention. I saw there is limited documentation on setting up origin to edge, or two origin servers (more likely for us since we can maybe purchase one more server at this time) but I do not have access to make network/router changes etc. I do have full access to configure my Windows 2003 servers however.
I am facing a strange issue with a pair of FMIS servers set up with Multipoint Publishing. Configuration is as follows: Encoder >>>> FMIS1 >>>> FMIS2
When freshly started, I am able to view live streams from both servers, however, periodically, FMIS2 unpublishes the streams as seen in the log below. When this happens lives streams are accessible from FMIS1 but not FMIS2. In order to resume live streams on FMIS2, FMIS1 must be restarted.

I have started the vhost setup. I have cpanel on the server and I added the domain and it resolves to the hosting account just fine pull up www.domain.com and goes to server.
I added the www.domain.com vhost. I pointed the application dir to /home/domain/public_html/applications/
I copied live over to applications dir. I setup user and pass for the virtual host login.
So I have a FMS 3.5, which I want to do live streams. The thing is I want several different people to be able to do the live broadcast, and I would like the server locked down at least a little and not allow anyone that wants to, to start a broadcast. With that said, I have FMS 3.5 installed, and I installed the Authentificaiton Add-In (3.0). I added a user to the authentification add-in, but it's still doesn't require a username / password, doesn't even prompt me.
I want to put protection on the server Because anyone can broadcast I want to put security on the broadcast only Not to receive sound and picture When you use any Flash Media Ankodr when the connection request requests a user name and password either, which does not have a user name and password can not broadcast sound and picture
I have Windows and I have setup FME before with Justin.tv and UStream. But I do not like their layouts and lag. I only plan to stream to a few people, and I have my own personal home webserver. It's Windows XP and Xampp Bundle is installed. Is there any way I can broadcast to my home server? and if there's any way possible, to my website hosted by [URL]?
This is showing up in my logs, and i have no idea what is causing it and can't find any more Dropping application (stream_app/_definst_) message. Clients not allowed to broadcast message. It doesn't happen very often, about once every 1 to 2 days.
HTTP broadcast delay is too long, I do a test in the LAN, send video using FME 3.2 the flow FMS4.5 server, use the sample folder under the videoplayer to play live video streams, using HTTP delay of 10 seconds or more,(RMTP play live rarely delay), who can tell me, how can I do this problem can solve the delay!
I want broadcast the television channel in the flash video component. It should be just like seeing TV channel in the internet. I have some knowledge in flash media server. I don't have knowledge to do this. First I want to know that, is it possible to broadcast television channel in the flash video components. If it is what are the software need to use or any other tutorial links.
I would like to know if there is a solution available that allows me to plug 2 HDV cameras into a laptop and live switch between the 2 cameras while uploading the live stream via adobe flash media live encoder to the adobe streaming server? the scenario is I want to offer live streaming of corporate seminars that I normally shoot with 2 cameras.
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'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.
when i try to live stream with FMS! I can stream video with Flash media live encoder to the server but when i create the player to recieve the livestream from server,i can not recieve the live stream,can anyone give me a step by step tutorial of how to do it?
I am trying to create a flash player to stream an on online Internet radio station using FMS. I chose FMS after being told that I need RTMP server to extract the metadata. Our radio audio is being encoded using a DJ interface called SAM Broadcaster. But for some reason, it does not have an option to send over the stream directly to a Flash Media Server. Only options are either IceCAST or ShoutCAST. How should i setup the stream? Should it be Stream encoder>> IceCAST/SHOUTCast Server>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client. Or should I setup Stream Encoder>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client? Shouldn't Flash Media Server be an alternative to IceCast or Shoutcast? If that is the case, how do I send over the stream from SAM Broadcaster directly to Flash Media Server without restreaming through another streaming server?
I have a FMS 4.5 with (License) and is set up and running fine, now I want to stream Live to the IOS Devices but no luck. I have a web page for test purpose with the video src tags to: URL... and in the server I have a livestream.m3u8 pointing to the same URL..., Now the Encoder have the AAC plugin and all the presets like it shut but when I go to see it in my IPad 2 this is how it looks.
i have a orgin server and 2 edge servers and a load balancer
first off im confused in each edge server i set them to be remote, rtmp and changed the routeentry to <RouteEntry>*:*;96.44.***.***:1935</RouteEntry> on both servers
orgin server is just local
what my question is im streaming to orgin and its getting sent to 1 edge and other edge is doing nothing no traffic the stream i set it this way url:
'rtmp://173.254.***.***/live/live_test',
which is the 1 edge thats working if i setup another channel pointing to the other edge server ip adresss it doesnt work.. what am i doing wrong isnt all this supposed to be load balanced or am i missing steps...or did i do it wrong on the flash player config.
I had a question about RED5 & Adobe... Does anyone know if it is possible to broadcast multiple video chats using Adobe flash player from "RED5 flash server"?
I m a begginer with FMS. I have a licenced version of FMS and I want to stream a live video from the Localhost or another machine with camera. And then then I should broadcast it to many clients. I don't know how to begin
I'm new to Adobe Flash and I'm just trying out the Flashe Media Server 4.5 to stream live video on a local machine. I'm using a FLME 3.2 to capture the video from my digital camera, which works fine, and I can connect to the server with no worries as well. But I have issues streaming the content in the Sample Video Player that comes with the server.
[Code]....
I've also tried playing some sample videos on it. it even refuses to play those. What could be the problem??
One server - is streaming server with Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5that host the application with asc files in FMS application directory.Second server - is the IIS web server that host thehtml,aspx,swf etc.. files.So basically i heve swf file on one server that have to connect to live streaming via rtmp on different server with different ip address.I did not find any clear explanation on this crossdomain rmtp issue.ys only HTTP can use crossdomain.xml policy filebut not rmtp.So what policy security procedure need to be done in order to enableswf file hosted on one server to connect and show rmtp live cam broadcasting from another server?
