Media Server :: Obtain A "flash Media Server URL Address" Which Is Called "RTMP" On The Encoder Page?
Oct 12, 2009
I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. To complete the process of streaming video, it appears that I need to obtain a "flash media server URL address" which is called "RTMP" on the encoder page. Where can I find this? Is this something that can be downloaded, or do I have to purchase this from a partner like Level 3 communications, AT&T, etc.?
i am new on steaming & flash server; when we try to use RTMP over HTTP the outside client gets the internal IP address of the FMS server instead of the NAT one or public IP address, how can we solve this.
i am having a serious issue with finding my RTMP address which may be something very simple to you all out there, i just installed Flash Media Server 3.5 at C:Program Files....i have purchased a video flash chat program and it needs to know the rtmp address which im not sure. I named the Flash Server EazyFlash.....not sure if i should install flash server somewhere else on server so website can see it??? The flash console and sample videos are working great but its all C: Drive??? would it be RTMP://EazyFlash? The software came with flash application which was a folder called videoflashchat which i copied to applications folder.
I'm trying to make a software which sends video and audio data to a flash media server by using RTMP protocol. Currently, my program can communicate with a flash media server correctly. RTMP specifications does not describe about the raw data in video/audio messages, so I muxed raw H.264 and AAC data into video/audio messages and sent to the server. The server seems to accept them, but a video player cannot playback the stream sending from the server. The player just says "Loading..." For a test purpose, I sniffed the network packets between Wirecast and the flash media server and ripped off only video and audio data. Then, I muxed those data into video/audio message and sent to the flash media server. In this case, the video player connected to the server can playback the stream correctly.
I checked the stream sent from Wirecast, the stream seems not to be H.264 raw data because those data are not started from 0x17 instead of H.264 start code. With those situation, I am wondering what kind of container format I should use for H.264/AAC data to the flash media server.
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'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 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 could contact about building a custom live Flash media encoder for our website. We have a database for authentication and a list of upcoming events with stream information (FMS URL and Stream Name) that we want to automate into an encoder. Currently we have our customers use Flash Media Live Encoder and copy/paste the values into the encoder, but would prefer a solution that is more tightly integrated with our site
I have installed the Authentication Add-In on a FMS 3.5.5 Development version, running Windows 2008 Server.I can easily get to the users.exe command prompt and add users with no problem.BUT, when I open the Flash Media Live Encoder and go to enter a username/password when connecting to the server, I keep getting "User Not Found".I've went back several times using users.exe and tested for my user credentials and it always states that the user is there.
i have got a video application using FLVPLAYBACK component. isLive=true, rtmp://application/live/demo Flash media live encoder 3 the instance is demo. Everything works fine.I need to know when Flash Media Live Encoder 3 is off-line. how i can do that FLVPLAYBACK detect this action and the client is disconnected. i try using buffering but i don't know, how take a time for it. for example is 5sec in buffering do another action or is there some function that detects when there is off-line?
Flash Live Media Encoder claims that it can encode video from a firewire connection.Does it also encode audio from the same firewire connection?I've been told that past versions encoded video only
This is sort of a follow up to my previous post, asking about streaming through FMS to Apple and Android.Android and Blackberry devices require that the audio component of video streams be encoded using AAC. Right now I'm telling my customers to buy the MainConcept AAC plugin, or to buy VidBlaster or Wirecast. Can anyone from Adobe comment on when Adobe might release a version of FMLE that includes AAC?
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??
how to limited Media Encoder connect the media server?I have a adobe media server3 for liniux and hava a live IP. I can use the Media Encoder connenct the media server anywhere when I use the live IP. I want to know how to limited Media Encoder connect the media server.
is there a possibility of authentication FMLE users to the server on the FMSS? Or such a possibility exists only in the FMIS? Actually, somebody had to deal with this problem? Decide whether it?
i have a small LAN of about 8 computers all of which are running windows 7. I have installed FMS and XAMPP webserver on one of the machines. I want to stream live from one PC to all the other PCs on the LAN. I have a webpage with jwplayer embedded in it on my XAMPP webserver that is able to see the live stream when i start it locally. I mean the live stream works fine on the machine with the servers on it. But when i want to view the live stream from another machine in the LAN by accessing the webpage that has the jwpalyer from another machine, The jwplayer returns "server not found:rtmp://192.168.10.1/live" error. I was thinking that maybe a firewall is blocking the 1935 port but i have turned off the firewall of every PC on the LAN. I have unistalled any antivirus program on all the PCs. But i still get the same error when i try to access the live stream from another PC on the LAN.When i run netstat -a -n|find ":1935" i get 192.168.10.2:49184 192.168.10.1:1935 SYN_SENT and i think the request for the stream is sent but the conection is rejected.
This is the code for the webpage with jwplayer embedded in it. maybe it: <html>head> <title>JW FLV Media Player</title> <script type="text/JavaScript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
Somebody I know can't watch because they have a proxy server.The nc.connect() call to get the live stream fails because it goes direct from AS3 to FMS and doesn't go through the proxy server.
Can Flash Media Encoder handle several video sources and live srteam them all at the same time? We want to stream a few over the air broadcast sources using Flash Media Server v3.0. Is it possible to install several TV tuner cards into a PC and have Media Encoder live steam each of them at the same time? If not, can several copies of the software run on the same machine (each with it's own video source live streaming)?
I am currently using Digital Rapids StreamZ to encode video for Flash media Server. The guys who look after the equipment have streamed to flash media server before using RTMP addresses without any problems but ustream doesn't seem to work.
Would there be any reason why the encoded signal would not get through or display on ustream? The StreamZ software is not showing any problems or error messages so we are assuming the encoded feed is being sent correctly but Ustream doesn't detect that there is a flash media stream available for that channel.
Allright, so i'm searching for information on how to write plugins for FMLE 3.0, the reason is that i need to extend some functionality regarding the metadata injections. So, does anyone here know of an API/Framework/SDK like paper that is a good place to start reading? Any input will be welcome, except "nay sayers" because i know it's possible to make plugins, ive seen one or two out there, just dont know where to start.
PS. I have plenty experience in writing DLL's for windows applications, but i would rather refrain from reverse-engineering FMLE to use windows hooks and insert dll's at run/loadtime, would rather have a more or less "intentional" framework to work with.
We have mutiple live streams(games) in our application and one of our requirement is to record the games when they start and end the record after stop.We have written a servere side Code based on guidelines provided in the forums. Our Sample code looks like this.
We have written a PHP page which receives the Game Start and Game Stop and calls the FMS startRecord and stopRecord functions accordingly.We tested this record manuall by passing the values to PHP page and recording works perfectly.Our problem arises when we automate this recording. Every minutes we have 10 games that are created and hence the PHP page calls FMS 10 times a minute to startRecord and stopRecord.Some of the recorded flv are inconsistent and recording is never complete.
Can FMS take such sequential request? We are stuck with this because the recording is partial sometimes.We are using FMS 4 with Red Hat. Any other information will be provided.
I have read some forums posted in here and also searched the web extensively but cannot find a clear answer or get HTTP tunneling to work with Flash Media Server 3.
Q1: Can Flash Media Server 3 be configured for RTMP and HTTP tunneling to work? The reason I need to know if this will work is due to more and more clients are reporting that videos are not playing for them and I have determined that these clients are sitting behind a firewall that has port 1935 blocked. So I would like to configure the FLV playback control to try to stream the file over RTMP and if that does not work, use HTTP.
Here is my asctionscript that I have tried to get this to work, but it does not. Some other notes are, the .FLV files live in this folder: D:AdobeFlash Media Server applicationsvodmedia The videos are recorded and then converted into .FLV files and loaded into this folder. The ultimate solution is I use a FLVPlayback control and pass the location and .FLV file name on the query string "Details.aspx?VIDEO=rtmp://216.203.12.15/vod/flv". I have pasted the object code * to show this example below the asctionscript.
I would like to build a video conferencing app that supports H.264. Is there a way to use Flash to do that? I understand that Flash natively supports the Sorensen Spark video codec and that you need to use Flash Live Encoder 3 for H.264 encoding. I can't seem to find any documentation that shows me how to use FLE3 with ActionScript.
