I'm using a regular flash video player to play rtmp streams hosted on a cdn. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a count of the number of users watching a stream, through actionscript or flash?

how can I find that on server side which user is watching a stream
View 2 RepliesIt's natural for users to find something interesting and record it when subscribing to a live video,
but so far I can only record it when publishing,
HI installed flash media server 3.0.4 on a Windows 2003 server.I am using the default LIVE application and broadcasting to it using FME version 3.0 Inside FME I choose MP3 as the audio codec, stereo and 128kbps When I watch the stream everything works fine but after a minute (sometimes 2 minutes) the sound disappears and I can only see the video run.If I refresh the page that contains the SWF that plays the stream then the sound works again but then again after a minute the sound stops and only the video continues to play. It is important to say that this only happens when I play a live stream from a server that is located outside of my local LAN. If I play a stream from my development FMS server in my local LAN this problem doesn't happen using the same SWF and same settings in FME.Moreover, if I use the nellymoser audio codec then everything works fine and this problem doesn't happen also. The thing is that I want to broadcast a live event and it is very important that the audio sounds good (stereo and 192kbps) and if I use the nellymoser codec the results aren't that good.
View 5 RepliesI need to protect my FMS, so that only me (my Username, or IP if its not possible) can start a live stream. I have been reading the pdf on plugin for developers, and i read that the authorization plugin can do this, but it is C++ and i dont know nothing about that, i can understand a little bit, but i do not know how to make the dll i want. Is there another way to do this, the server requests a user and password when i want to stream.

View 2 RepliesYou can restrict the number of users on a flash server applications using server-side scripting.Here is how.
1. Go to the flash server root/documentation/samples (Lets say its a live streaming aplication).
2. Copy the livestreams folder to your flash server root/applications and paste it inside the folder.
3. Open the main.asc file that is inside the folder you just pasted.
4. At the end of the code paste the following code:

I have changed the variable <MaxConnectionRate>2</MaxConnectionRate> base on the URL - "Limit connection requests",but more than 2 client can connect to the server.
Is that other settings to config to restrict the number of simultaneous users?

I'm usig Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server 3.0.1, it works fine, no major problems, when the internet between Media Encoder and Server stops, some times the stream doesn't start automatically.I have a problem with users(viewers) trying to connect to server. The server is connected to fiber optic internet at 100mbps and the stream is made in 500kbps with media encoder 2.5.
When are 40-50 simultaneous viewers works fine, but when enter more viewers, for example, 200 simultaneous, nobody cam receive the stream good, it works frame by frame or flash player display "buffering", work 3 seconds and buffer 5 sec,and so on.HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?it is possible to connect milions of users simultaneous, how can i do that.I need more servers to connect each to each other? Could you send me a diagram how to do that?I need to increase the ram memory from server?( i have P4 dual core 3.0 Ghz, 6 Gb ram 800Mhz).
When I set a breakpoint and debug my application, Flash Builder 4 is not displaying static variables within the variables window. I'm using flash builder 4 to execute flex unit tests on one of my AS3 classes. I set a static variable within the [Before] function, which is accessed in each of the tests. I've set a breakpoint within one of the tests to see why it is failing, but I notice that static variables don't appear when I expand the 'this' object within the variables window. (In this case my static variable is the only variable associated with the class, so the only object in the variables window is the "this" object). How to make static variables appear in the variables window?

Is there a way to find out when someone is watching to the swf? For example i have a swf loader but it preloades all swf behind each other [swf]-[swf]-[swf]
I can slide between each [swf] but the swf contains animations, they start playing when he preloads the [swf]'s. Is there a way i know when someone is watching the swf and then start the animation?
My first solution was a onmouse but it doesn't work when you don't have your mouse on the [swf].
I'm trying to load an swf game, and then repeatedly run a check to see if the game has ended by accessing one of it's variables. Reading the forums and searching the web has gotten me this far:
[Code].....
"testing" appears on the output window so I know it's being loaded correctly, the game is also playing correctly. When I run the game in debug mode, it shows that the variable _level2.LOCAL exists and has a value, but the main loop just keeps kicking out "undefined."
In my flex app I have a public bindable property.I want it so that every time the value of that property changes, a function gets triggered. I tried using ChangeWatchers, but it seems those only apply to built-in components like a text box change.i would like to do that same behavior with a property that changes at runtime.

I'm currently working on a portfolio site, which, among other things, loads external swf files into the stage. The problem starts when I load a 400x300 swf file into the stage, which is 900x800. The result is that I get all objects which are outside the stage area in the loaded swf, on my main stage. I tried everything from changing the width and the height to loading it into a movieclip. It's always the same, I get all the elements from outside the stage of the loaded swf (if I try to change the width/height, the objects outside the scene still remain) This is the code I'm using to load the external AS2 swf:

I've got a page laid out that houses a nightly live webstream of music at a venue. Every night (except Sunday) the stream turns on from 8pm-2am Eastern Standard Time. Some nights, I notice there is nobody watching the stream, yet the stream plays everyday no matter what. In the interest of saving bandwidth per month, I'm trying to figure out how to only stream if somebody is watching.So basically the camera would be recording locally, and when someone connects to the website something tells the server to start broadcasting. If the person leaves, the server stops broadcasting. Has anyone ever tried doing this? I'm using Influxis for my media streaming and they've assured me I can execute server side scripts.
View 12 RepliesI would like to put an eventListener on an ArrayCollection's length proprety, but I don't know how to go about this.
I want to do this because I only want code to execute when a certain number of things are in a certain ArrayCollection. I want Flex to wait to execute this code over the next object until that length property drops back to an acceptable level. I think I should do this with events instead of a while loop that sits there spouting NOOPs forever (which I don't know how to do either).
So I'm having a problem with AS2 when loading a netstream video.[code]I can actually listen to the audio in background but for some reason I can't see any picture. I tried with only a video object without a movieclip, and the other way around and the result is only audio, no video whatsoever.

View 3 RepliesI just received a new Dell Studio. I have the latest Flash installed. I can view Flash websites fine, and I can watch videos on all sites... except, [URL]. In fact, the video loads and a picture is displayed. The problem is that the picture is badly distorted. See the screenshot below. The top of the image is crystal clear, but the bulk of the video can not be viewed. This is different than the other threads with Flash/NHL problems. I can see something, and hear the videos fine. but... Its as if the video is in digital purgatory.

View 1 Repliesclose another live stream B if opening when stream A is closed? Does FMS support this kind of logic?
View 8 RepliesOnly 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);

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.
