Media Server :: Stream From FMS 3.5 Flv Files Through HTTP?
May 13, 2009
We tried to stream from FMS 3.5 flv files through HTTP,How can we prevent Progressive download when we stream flv via HTTP?We tried some configuration but it seems that files are always download to the local computer temp folder Can someone point to documentation that explain how to stream flv without Progressive download ?
As titled, what is the way to record video/audio files using Flash Meida Server through rmtp, and allow users to access the recorded files through http?What I am trying to do, is to record a user's microphone's input and save it to the server.fterwards, I would like other users to be able to access the recorded files and mainuplating the audio data, by computeSpectrum(), to do some visualization of the audio. As I know computeSpectrum() cannot work on streaming files, so I think I need to access the recorded files using http instead of rmtp. Is that true?
'URL missing from Media tag' on FMS4.5 HTTP Live Stream playback.I have spent a whole day trying in vain to publish f4m live http streams from FMLE using FMS 4.5, and almost everything I try results in the error .The F4M document contains errors URL missing from Media tag...in both Flash Media Playback and the fms videoPlayer app.Other people seem to have seen this and solved it, but I've found nothing that helps. I have tried to publish a single stream, and with multiple bitrates. For the latter, I followed the Adobe video tutorial as follows:
Multiple bitrate live ================ I'm publishing 3 streams from FMLE, using FMS URL: rtmp://[serveraddress]/livepkgr[code]..........
I have FMS installed on windows server 2008. I have a large number of videos which are served to my clients using rtmp protocol.Now we have designed a new player with some controls which apparently do not work while an rtmp video is playing.
i am wondering is it possible to get embeded timecode from HTTP Stream?Flash Media Live Encoder contains a special built-in handler, onFI, that subscribing clients can use in their ActionScript code to access timecode information. The following client-side ActionScript code shows how to get timecode information using the onFI handler. The object ns is the NetStream object. You can get timecode and system date and time information, if timecode and system date and time were embedded in the stream, by accessing the tc, sd, and st properties of the info object that is passed as an argument to onFI():i am using this onFI method succesfully with netStream object when i am getting stream from RTMP.is it possible to get somehow same results with HTTP Streaming (f4m and osmf)
I want to use customised encoder to publish live steams to a FMS4.5 server?Is it possible to connect encoder and FMS4.5 server on HTTP protocol?i read in other articles FMLE can connect to FMS on RTMP protocol.
As seen the tutorial [URL].. I have successfully implimented the steps. However the problem comes when the stream is disconnected and reconnected again due to network problems. Once the stream is reconnected the video stops coming, even though all 3 streams are succesfully publishing the stream to Flash Media Server but on the client side where I'm using OSMF media player the stream gets stops. Is there any setting that I need to impliment in the OSMF player to resolve this issue ?
if I repeat this IIS topic, I couldn't find the answer to my problem any where on the internet. I installed FMS Dev 3.5 on Win 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 enabled. I don't have any issue with port 80 Listening, I used the IP address 192.168.0.21 for my web application (IIS) and 192.168.0.22 for FMS (I only have one network card and port 1935 is open under firewall). I can play the sample videos (RTMP, HTTP, and Dynamic Stream) using the Flash Media Start Screen (or from the location C: Program FilesAdobe Flash Media Server 3.5webrootindex.html) without any problem.
I then modified the IIS Default Website to look at the "webroot" folder (C: Program FilesAdobe Flash Media Server 3.5webroot). From IE, I can access the default web site by enter http://192.168.0.21/index.html. The website loads up correctly, and the RTMP video is playing perfectly. However, if I click Play Video (HTTP) or Dynamic Stream (tab), I receive "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again." I look at the log file (access.01.log) and see the error log "Session disconnect
Is there a way to stream data instead of media files? In particular I'm interested to stream swf files that will be dinamically loaded by another swf client. I see this interesting message talking about how to do this on Wowza but I prefer to find a solution also in FMS to use the SWF Verification feature.
I've finally been able to display a stream inside an SWF but only from FLV files on the FMS server. What on earth do I have to do to play other filetypes FMS supports?
I've made several mp4 file using Camtasia for Mac. No matter what settings or player I use the files won't play. Encoding them from Camtasia Windows version works just fine. I assumed this was a question for Camtasia/Techsmith but they're saying there is nothing wrong with the h.264 files Camtasia for mac is encoding and says this is an Adobe/FMS issue. I'm using the latest Camtasia version and FMS 3.5. I've used several different players and they all play mp4 but not the ones encoded in Camtasia for mac.
According to flashmediaserver_3.5_config_admin.pdf (FMS 3.5.3), FMS determines the correct directory to use for streams in the following order: Virtual directory (as specified in <VirtualDirectory>) Storage directory (as specified in <storageDir>) Default location (the streams folder in the application directory)
So I created a folder called streams in C:Program FilesAdobeFlash Media Server 3.5applicationsvod. I thought this folder would be the default location for the sample application vod. I did not change any configuration settings for the application vod. Everything was set by the FMS 3.5.3 installer. I copied sample.flv into C:Program FilesAdobeFlash Media Server 3.5applicationsvodstreams and renamed it to sample6.flv. rtmp://{fms ip}/vod/sample6.flv d Did not play in the sample video player installed by FMS 3.5.3. Is this a bug or the default location "streams" folder is simply not "default", you have to set it somewhere in XML?
In my .smil file, if I put this line it works: <video src="sample.flv" system-bitrate="150000"/> But if I put the following line it doesn't work: <video src="mp4:sample1_150kbps.f4v" system-bitrate="150000"/> Both video files are in the webrootvod folder. I am using the sample dynamicStream.smil code, so my syntax should be right.
Say I got a live event called game in "C:FMSHOMEapplicationslivepkgrevents\_definst_game" and push a MBR stream for awhile and see the ".stream" files being created, everything works good.
However whenever I stop the stream, delete the contents and try to republish another stream to this event name never recreates the '.stream' files or stream directories.
1. Delete the files "C:FMSHOMEapplicationslivepkgrevents\_definst_gameMsadsaasa.str eam","C:FMSHOMEapplicationslivepkgrevents\_definst_gameMsadsaasa .stream".
2. Delete all the stream directories - "C:FMSHOMEapplicationslivepkgrstreams\_definst_game1", "C:FMSHOMEapplicationslivepkgrstreams\_definst_game2".
Is this normal behavior or is there a default waiting peroid before reusing an event name? Should I only publish to a liveevent name once?
I am using Flash Media server 4.5 and i read the tutorial if i want to stream the live feed, i may need to use the media live encoder. but what i found in media encoder is i have to manually setup everything and it only support camera devices. But in my case i have multiple video files keep received from another program and place it on file system (server),my goal is use the Flash Media server to perform a live boardcasting with these video file one by one. That means when client watching a live streaming, they will not notice the server is playing mov1, then mov2, then mov3, then mov4... and so on.
You can imagine i am trying to boardcast a live footage say for 60sec, but the video file will not recorded entirely after 60sec, instead for every 10sec i will save a new video file, so that when client watching the live by HLS [URL]when the time reach to 10sec, a mov1 video file available and FMS should boardcast this video on live123.when the time reach to 20sec, a mov2 video file available and FMS should Immediately follow the mov1 boardcast on live123.and so on...Also can FMS dynamically create a new streaming session (invoke by code), so that when client A uploading some video files to the server, the FMS open a new streaming session only stream cilent A video files?the configuration to boardcasting like screen size, bit rate, etc should be pre-defined on the server.

When I place the .swf, smil and http files on the FMS server the SMIL stream test sample works fine But When I move the files to my web server I get Connection error. This is the same issue discussed in [URL].. I added a 'base' variable but it did not work for me. The SMIL file has the correct path to the sample files and FMS server <meta base="rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/" />
I am able to stream files from my html file on my webserver not the FMS server by pointing to the FMS server at rtmp://200.200.200.23/vod/mp4:sample1_1500kbps.f4v Is this a domain security setting? If so, where do I change it? If not How do I get FMS to stream SMIL files without installing a webserver with FMS?
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?
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?
Only just getting started on this whole domain of learning, so go easy!If I set up a P2P video/audio chat (similar to the sample VideoPhone thing on the Cirrus site), can I get the stream from both parties to send to a server at the same time so that I can record it? If so, would I have to use a FMS to stream it to and perform the recording (and if so which version could I get away with)? Are there any (preferably free, or just tutorialised) solutions for the recording side of things?
Currently it seems like the only option for doing the P2P thing is to use Stratus/Cirrus unless I use FMS4 Enterprise.
how effective this kind of situation can be, in terms of quality of the stream and recording? Does any of this make sense?
I've had FMS running on my local machine for a while and have had a little experience writing FMS apps, but I've just tried recording audio for the first time using the standard vod application and I keep getting a "Write access denied for stream" error. My AS3 code is copied and pasted for various examples and am confident that it works.
I'm running Windows XP service pack 3 & FMIS 3.5.
I've had a look at the vod/media directory and under windows->properties the read-only attribute is ticked. Every time I un-tick this it reverts back to being ticked. I've googled this and MS say that most programs ignore the read-only attribute and that it only really applied to files. I've also tried the MS fix for setting the read-only attribute via cmd and still no joy (doesn't fix read-only attribute or FMS recording the audio after setting via cmd).
I've also tried our dev server install of FMS (running under linux) and am getting the same results.
Here's my AS3 code...
private function initApp(event:Event):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,initApp);
i test the fms 4 update 1 rtmfp streams multicast after 10 minutes i get this message RTMFP Multicast stream has exceeded max duration allowed; closing stream. but i do not use IP multicast
I build a client side application where is only a FLVPlayback2.5 component and a short AS3 script.

My Encoder is setup with three streams: Vid: 500 kbps - Audio: 48 kbpsVid: 800 kbps - Audio: 48 kbpsVid: 1500 kbps - Audio: 48 kbps I start the encoder and everything looks fine in the log. In my browser (Safari or Firefox) I go to my html site and the stream starts after 6-8 sec. But anytime with the lowest bitrate 548 kbps and nothing look like the stream is switching to another bitrate. I tried it with the smil playlist and the result is the same. Only the lowest bitrate is plublished.
I have recently installed FMIS 3.5.3. In checking the access logs I find data in both logs that display the same stream stop and stream play time .I'm not sure why the time is the same (00:19:27 example below). Videos play fine when testing from work (T3 connection). However, occasionally a very slight hesitation when playing video from home (I have cable connection). [code]...
I'm having a problem with recording a live webcam stream. The last few seconds of the stream is getting cut off. The recording is stopped with the following piece of code:
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.
Does is matter what HTTP server I use?In the process of upgrading from FMS 3.0 on Windows using IIS 5 to FMS 4.0. Will dynamic HTTP Streaming work from a Windows server?
