In multiple instances, limiting the maximum number of connections for the same IP?You give me the answer is to limit a single instance, whether there is a way to limit the number of users of the entire connected to the FMS?

View 2 RepliesI have been running FMIS 3.5 for about 18 months, and recently it started acting up even though I have not made any changes. After a while (sometimes days, sometimes hours), it starts rejecting new connections, but it allows existing connections to keep working. If I refresh my app, then I can't reconnect. The license I have is unlimited. Can anyone shed some light into why this is doing this and what I can do to fix it? Sometimes it happens when only a couple dozen people are online, and today it did it about 4 times with over 1500 people online.
View 1 RepliesI have a setup where I have some edge servers (as in <Mode>remote</Mode>) that pull content from an origin server. I only want to allow RTMPE connections to the edge server. I'm trying to do this by using the <DisallowedProtocols> element on the origin server. I'm setting: <DisallowedProtocols>rtmp,rtmps,rtmpt</DisallowedProtocols>
in the relevant Vhost.xml on the origin server. However, when I do that, proxying through the edge server stops working. I get a "Connection attempt rejected by FMS server [ Server.Reject ] : Connection failed." from OSMFPlayer (which I'm using for testing) and these lines show up on the origin server's core.00.log file:

The attached image shows 17 client connections. Unfortunately there are not 17 clients connected to that app. In fact, I add users to a userlist shared object in application.onConnect(), and that shared object only reports 6 connections. That is the accurate number of connected users.
Why the phantom connections? Even if I unload and reload the app, the 17 client connections return.
How can my userlist shared object and the client connection number be out of sync? This situation seems to be related in some way to an FMS memory problem that is cropping up all of a sudden. When I have larger numbers of connected clients - say 300, the client connections reported in the FMS console are ten times that - like 3,000 or more. Then the application is unloaded by FMS for being a memory hog.
The app itself is simple. It just stores each user in a user array and passes chat communication to and from these users. The last time this main.asc code was changed was 2/8/2010. No problems with it in the countless times we've used it since then. Why the sudden phantom FMS connections, memory hog behavior, and constant unloading of the app?
URL...I am running application instance that implements publisher/subscriber on video streams. Application code is very thin and can be removed completetly if required. In a specific time, randomly, disconnect messages stopped happening which causes the folowing:
1. Streaming service shows decrease of bw per second
2. Users count is increasing linearly.
3. No disconnect messages apears on access.0x.log
I have FMS 4 and a videochat app (one-to-one), everything runs smoothly until about 750 users (it means about 1500 connections to fms), then I get a sudden drop in users connected to 300-400, no errors in the fms log and the cpu/memory usage is at about 25% just before this. I'm running Windows 2008 R2 Web (x64) and I've red somewhere that maybe this version of windows has some connection limit that could be the cause, but I've no idea of what could be happening.
View 2 RepliesI have a FMS server running that I am hosting some VOD content on. I am using HTTP dynamic streaming to deliver this content. Everything runs fine from a technical standpoint, but I am unable to see the connection details in the Admin Console. I have loaded vod -> defaultinst under the applications tab in the console. No connection details populate.

View 1 RepliesDoes FMS 3.5.2 in development impose restrictions via the origin of connections? That is, does it only allow localhost connections via ActionScript (NetConnection) or are external connections allowed?In other words, can I have FMS in dev mode on a dedicated server and then have my client code running on a different machine that opens connections to this development server?
View 2 RepliesWe have a custom application that is running on FMS. Server is dedicated just for fms, there is only one application running on the server, with more instances, average traffic is 3-15 simultaneous users.The problem is,server suddenly stops accepting connections (after 1-3 days from restart), from this point it is impossible to connect to any instance, and fms server must be restarted.When the server crashes, the admin console can see all open instances, can close instances, can restart fms. There is nothing logged, that would explain this sudden failure.Second problem is, cores are connected and disconnected too often, causing client to reconnect (takes 2-5 seconds).

Live stream parameters:
320Ñ…240 qua_=87 bw_=200000 kf_=5 fps_=18
So, after approximately 600 connections to one stream video becomes choppy (periodically freeze, slow motions). CPU-usage at this time is 100-120% (maximum is 800%, 100% per each core), network usage is 500 Mbit/sec.But second live stream(with few connections) at this server looks fine simultaneously with 600 connections at first stream.Experiments with recommendation in "Configuring performance features" documentation chapter(enabling/disabling aggregate messages and configure the size of stream chunks) do not help.
I'm trying to find out how I can tell how many users are connected to the same FMS application in a flex application:
public function totalConnectedUsers():void{
lblText1.text = "There are a total of " + bindableUserVariable + " Users Connected to the Stream Now";
}
I've been trying to figure out FMS for about a week now. Because of company firewalls, all traffic must go through either port 80 or 443 (I configured this in FMS.ini). I also created a self-signed SSL certificate and configured the adaptor.xml file to use it. Nevertheless, here are the problems I am experiencing: For RTMPT & RTMPTE, I can't start more than 9 connections. Beforing configuring FMS to also use port 443, I could only get about 4 connections. Now I would like to say that I testing this between only two computers, the FMS server with apache web server and a client.why it will not at least start 10 connections which I know is the limit for the dev version? Also, when using RTMPS I can only start 1 connection. Why is that?
View 4 RepliesIt stands to reason that an OS would have a memory limit for the FMS process. I have a video chat app to which I may need to connect 300,000 or more concurrent users. Has anyone done this? Would this break the bank? What's the most you've ever had connected at once?
The video portion of my app goes through a good CDN, so I don't think there's a problem there. But my chat room is all on one FMS instance. I see something in FMS docs in "configuring performance features" that warns, "Adobe recommends that you ensure that your total system memory usage does not exceed the process limit of your OS". Granted it's in the context of configuring media cache, but wouldn't the same apply to chat room size if the numbers get high enough?
I am involved in project managment for a large video conferncing project involving over 100k simultanous connection and most likely to be increased 4 times by next six months.While figuring out the scalability area ,it was concluded that smart selection of hardware and origin-edge clustering will be suited most. Well while studying this documentation says it supports thousands of calls but unfortunately I could not determine the actual numbers. Can you tell me how many edge server will be needed for 100k simultanous calls/number of sessions per edge server and will we need license (4500$) for each edge server?

View 3 RepliesHow many instances of Video, NetStream and NetConnection would be needed for multiple videos?Not sure that's the right question but essentially here's the objective:Currently, I'm working on an interactive product tour, parts of which are to consist of short video clips, each covering a feature. While only one such clip will be playing at any given time, I'd like put them all at the application's fingertips as part of the initial preloading process before launching into it. The idea is to provide a seamless instant-play user experience without hitting the breaks before individual segments.Honestly, I hate pre-caching crap into user's memory, especially when some of that content may be potentially ignored. However, given the target audience, it is reasonable to predict that all features will be explored most of the time, so it's a fair compromise to me. Besides, I went to great lengths to keep the mp4s' sizes to the minimum.Anyway, I'm guessing you don't really need more than one instance of the Video class but how many NetStreams and NetConnections do I you need, probably one of each per video, ha?
View 0 RepliesI am trying to playback recorded streams from a Flash Media Interactive Server using the VideoPlayer component in Flex 4/Flash Builder 4.If the stream is located in the serverpath>/ streams/vod/_definst_ directory then I can get to it by setting the 'source' parameter of the VideoPlayer to [code]What I can't get to work is when I have a stream recorded to an instance within an application directory.So if the application is "app1' and the instance name is "inst1" it would be literally located in <serverpath>/ app1/ streams/ inst1 directory. Setting the source parameter to this "<server>/ app1/ inst1/ streamname" does not work.It seams to be ignoring the 'inst1' part of the path because the server side log shows '_definst_' as the instance name being run.I know this is in part a Flex 4 question, but manually writing a video player works. I would just like to get the Flex 4 VideoPlayer component to play the video.
