Can You Stream Video Or Flv Files Without Flash Media Server
Hi all

We have a streaming server, but it may not have Flash Media Server on it.

If you want to stream flv files, do you need Flash Media Server installed?

If so, and we don't want to buy Flash Media Server, is there a way to stream a video file from the streaming server into an swf without converting it to an flv file?

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks

Flash Media Server 2... Trying To Stream A Simple Video
Hello folks,

This is my first attempt to do anything with Flash Media Server, so please bear with me. I have a simple avi that I want to convert to FLV and then stream the video to a SWF... this is a research project for work, and Im not really having much luck doing even the simplest of streaming, even tho Ive read the documentation and set up the developer version of FMS2... maybe you can help me figure out where Ive gone wrong...

1. I installed Flash Media Server 2 Developer Edition on my local machine.

2. Started both FMS Admin Server and FMS Server. (FMSMaster.exe and FMSAdmin.exe are both running, as shown by Task Manager. Created "TestApp" folder in c:/program files/Macromedia/Flash Media Server 2/applications/ - this is my Application.

3. New Flash Document. File::Import::Import Video. Clicked Browse, found my AVI video, clicked Next. Selected Stream from Flash Communication Server and click Next. Click Next to accept video. Next on Skins. So, now I have an FLVPlayback component on my stage. Which I test and it works. But this isnt what I need... I need this to stream from the server to my player. Onward I go.

4. I copy the FLV file to c:/program files/Macromedia/Flash Media Server 2/applications/TestApp/ and name the FLV "4dvideo1.flv".

5. From the documentation, I see that I need a video component to make this work.. so Im going to start from scratch with the FLA and create a new Flash Document thats 320x240. Create a New Video in my library and call it Video Player. I drag an instance of this video component to the stage, name it "myVideo" make it 320x240 at x=0 and y=0. I paste the following code in Frame 1:


Code:
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/TestApp");
var my_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);

myVideo.attachVideo(my_ns);
my_ns.play("4dvideo1"); // Ive tried this with and without the .flv - no diff


stop();
I CTRL+ENTER to test my movie and I get nothing but white. I check the FMS2_Console and see I active instance of TestApp called "_definst_". The Clients tab shows the detail of the connection with 0 drops, and Streams tab shows 2 entries one for the NetStream and named "4dvideo1" with a type of "Live" Performance tab does show a small increase... Nothing shows in Live Log tab or Shared Objects tab.

I cant for the life of me figure this out.. Ive had another developer look at it as well, and he cant figure it out either.

Are we missing something?

Thanks in advance for the help and I apologize for the lengthy post.

Edit: One more thing.. if i change the URI for the Application to null, the video works... Im just so confused at this point.

Can Fash Media Server Stream Live IP Video?
Our system has about 100 live cameras (NTSC feed) coming into our data center. The NTSC feed is converted to IP using Axis Video Encoders. The Axis encoders pump out IP-based feeds in motion jpeg format. We want to move away from this format and towards streaming FLV so video will integrate into our Flash application better.

Will the latest version of the Flash Media Server software register these IP feeds and stream them in realtime, when requested from our application? We're trying to make a purchase decision and aren't sure if Adobe products will even be able to handle the IP feeds directly.

Thanks.

Flash Media Server Goes Down Mid-stream
So if my application is streaming a video and FMS goes down during it... I need to be able to error handle this. I'm wondering if FMS would return some sort of message or error upon going off line or if there is any other manner in which I could handle this. Ultimately I'd like to give the user a message informing them of the problem... or possible just switch to a progressive version of the same clip.

Any ideas?

Media Server Stream Within Flash
Evening All,

I am still fairly new to all this so please excuse me if I have overlooked something very obvious however any assistance would be much appreciated.

Scenario is we will be playing a straight forward flash animation throughout an event. I would like to for one part of this event switch to a live camera feed (From within the same event). If I capture this stream live with Flash Media Server, can this stream then easily be played within the Flash file?

Ie. Can we develop the flash and configure the stream prior to the event, embed the stream into the required section of the flash presentation and compile the flash file, the video will then be pulled live from the streaming server?

Perhaps this is more of a Flash question then a Media Server question?

Any help much appreciated :-)

Cheers
Nick.

Stream IP Webcam With Flash Media Server
I have a D-Link IP web cam. I want to grab the video stream from the IP webcam andstream it out to client side via Flash Media Server. Does anybody have any insight on this? I have not seen any info anywhere that suggest this can even be done. If it can't be done with Flash Media Server, what could it be done with? Remember this is an IP webcam with its own IP and has a built in webserver.

--HERE IS WHAT I POSTED ON ANOTHER FORUM----
I've got a d-link IP webcam and want to stream it through the Flash Media Server. Anybody have any insight? I did say IP cam, not a local USB cam. This is a IP cam with its own IP and everything. I want the server to grab the stream and broadcast it via flash media server.

If anybody has any ingiht they will truly be a ghod.

Play A Rtmp Stream From Flash Media Server
I want to make a small simple flash file that automatically begins playing a live stream from Flash Media Server. I have the following code, but it plays a prerecorded FLV file on the server. But I want to play a stream instead...


ActionScript Code:
var vid:Video = new Video(50, 38);
addChild(vid);

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
vid.attachNetStream(ns);

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onMetaData = function(evt:Object):void {};
ns.client = listener;

ns.play("externalVideo.flv");

I figured out I needed to change this line:


ActionScript Code:
nc.connect("rtmp://mystreamserver.com/live/livestream.flv");

- but what else do I need to do?

Also, I do not want the sound to be heard. How would I do that?

Stream Live Video From Client Other Than Flash Media Encoder
Hello,

I've testedmy Flash Media Encoder / Flash Media Server and it works great. But Flash media encoder need to have a video and audio device attached to the system in order to encode the file to appropriate format.

I would like to know if there is a possibility (and if thre is then how) to use a network stream (MMS, HTTP, RTP) as a source rather that a vide device. Maybe there is some other software that can encode a net media stream and feed it to Media Server?

My source streams (in current situation) are either Windows Streaming Server or Windows Media Encoder.

How can I manage to bridge there two servers in order to deliver Flash Media Content to my website?

Thank you.

How Do I Stream Flash Video....what Type Of Server?
I have never tried to stream in flash video, I always did the basic progressive download.

What type of server do I need to have to stream flash video? Do I have to use that flash comm server thing? Or will a basic streaming server do just fine?

Also...when I compress the videos in sorenson squeeze, what considerations should I keep in mind when it comes to streaming. In other words, ....why can't I create flv's with the highest quality,.....and subsequently big file sizes, and then stream them?

Thanks for the help.

AS2 - Flash Media Server And FLV Files
(I'm become so stupid when it comes to flash media server! please don't laugh if finding my questions silly!!!)

I have a video player coded in AS2 and works fine on normal servers, I mean, I can insert the location of the FLV file like: http://www.domain.com/01.flv and the player simply starts streaming through. okay? everything is cool here but now, what I am trying to do is to have the same player but instead of addressing the FLV file on a normal server, I'm going to address to a FLV which is on a flash media server! I want to have some more information about how links works on flash media servers! I've heard of something like rtmp://...

I wanna know more about this, where can I find some information? and actually how I can link my current player to play an FLV saved on a flash media server?!

Thanks,
Hadi

Video Recording Using FLASH MEDIA SERVER
Am trying to record the video and Audio from LOCAL WEBCAM and MIC using FLASH MEDIA SERVER.

Streaming Video With Flash Media Server
I'm using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash Media Server 3 and I'm trying to stream an flv video with CODE ONLY but I keep getting the error message "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound."

I'm trying to avoid using the FLVPlayback component in this application. The funny thing is... when I actually use the FLVPlayback component on the timeline and set the "source" property of the component to the correct url, the video will stream just fine. But from what I've gathered from various books and Google searches, this code SHOULD WORK. Here is a simplified version of my code.

CODE//net connection and net stream
var my_connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_connection.connect(null);
var my_stream:NetStream = new NetStream(my_connection);

//video
var my_video:Video = new Video();
my_video.attachNetStream(my_stream);
addChild(my_video);

//start playing stream
my_stream.play("rtmp://mywebsite/vod/myvideo.flv");

Flash Media Server Temp Files
Hi all,

Maybe this topic has been asked and answered before. But I have not found relevant information on this issue. So there it is:

I found out that when the FMS service is running, it creates a lot of temporily files in the c:windows empdirectory (the files are created in the name of mx_???.tmp where the ??? is hexadecimal value). I wonder is there any way to configure this including changing the directory and as well as set the number of tmp files where it can create.

Furthermore, there may be a bug whereby after the service is manually stopped, the temporily fies are still being created by the services.exe where i believe is caused by a unsucessfully termination of thread(s). Please verify this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Media Server Video Encoding Setting
Hi all,

I tried to encode some of my DiVX Avi files into FLV files. However, the Video Encoder only allows me to select from a few preset settings. The "Encode Video" portion under the "Advanced Settings" is totally greyed out. I reckon that there must be a way to enable those settings; does anyone know how?

Flash Media Server 3 / FlashPioneer Video Chat
Just recently, I purchased and installed 'FlashPioneerVideoChat'...
I decided to use Flash Media Server 3 (developer addition) for the local server. The problem is you can't login to the FMS Server from the client end although all other communication aspects work fine. When a connection is made the login starts but doesn't open the application, it just keeps running. The Client side has been debugged and tested so that points to the Flash Server and whatever settings have to be made and/or code added to what file? ...
Could someone please point me in the right direction, Thank you much ...

Flash Intermedia Server 3 Cuts Static Frames From Video Stream
Hello,

We are recording stream into file (on the server side), but when stream has static scenes or microphone disabled we have following troubles:
- length (in seconds) of recorded stream less then it was broadcasted: we broadcast video from cam for about 5 minutes (and was recording it) but by fact we got file with video length equal to 90 seconds.

I'm not sure, but it looks like server itself cut static frames. Do you have any idea why this happens?

Thanks.

Stream .wmv Video Files In Flash
I have successfully created a flash video player that streams .flv files using the tutorials on gotoandlearn.com.

Now, I would like to be able to stream .wmv files with the same flash video player I created. Is this possible? If so, what are things I need to do to make it happen? Any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Very Basic Question: Flash Media Server Vs. Embedding Flash Video
I'm hoping this is a quick easy question to answer:

What is the difference between Flash Media Server and simply using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer http://flowplayer.org/) that uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a website?

What are the advantages to Flash Media Server and how does something like Flowplayer not address issues that FMS can?

Thanks in advance!

Streaming Media Server Vs Flash Media Server
We have a streaming server here. Can this be used to stream flv files on its own? Or do we need to add Flash Media Server to it in order to to this?

Right now, I'm thinking something needs to be done, because I try to post flv files, and I try to use this code to access them:

var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("http://video.[myURL].com/testSTream/streamVideoTest2.flv");

stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
trace("NetStream.onStatus called: ("+getTimer()+" ms)");
for (var prop in infoObject) {
trace(" "+prop+": "+infoObject[prop]);
}
trace("");
};

and the trace I get from onStatus is always, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound

Any help is always appreciated.

Uploading Files With Media Server 2
Is it possible to upload files using media server 2? I doubt it...
I'm developing a chatbox with live webcam but I need to implement
file uploading just like msn. Which is the best way to do it?

Live Video Stream Play Permission On Server-side
I have a live video stream application one-to-many for example, and i want to send video only to few clients, not to all. Like:

quote:application.onConnect = function(client, canSeeVideo) {
// canSeeVideo = boolean
this.acceptConnection(client);
if (!canSeeVideo) client.receiveVideo(false);
};

// and after this, can be swich to TRUE or FALSE ?
client.receiveVideo(true);

I only want to do restriction for Video, from server-side with FMS, or if can't be possible.. how can i put for example a black screen on video ? :) and after can be removed, etc...

SOAP, C++, C#, Or Other Access To Flash Media Server Server Management ActionScript API,
I'm writing code to manage a farm of Flash Media Servers, and I need to call some Flash Media Server APIs from languages other than ActionScript.

I'm happy to write some of my code in ActionScript subroutines, and just use the NetConnection remote call API to invoke those functions. But I can find no way to do this.

I was initially enticed by the alleged support for Web-Services, but was disappointed to find that it only (appears) to support consumption of web services - not PROVISION of web services.

I saw that there was an external API accessible from flash media player itself, but that appears to require embedding the media player in a web browser, etc.

Is it - perhaps - possible to directly invoke the flash-media-player from a C# application using their COM-bridge in .Net? And then use that to invoke remote connections - without having any client side actionscript?

Any other ideas?

Flash Media Server 3 And Windows 2003 Server Help For Live Streaming
Hi
I installed FMS 3 (developer) on my Windows 2003 Web Edition.server online
I booted the FMS 3 and it seems that it works correctly (I did the port scanner and is ok)
But I can not see the live streaming applications.
I followed the guidance of Tom Green
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_vod_fm3.html

In local everything works, but in windows server 2003 does not see the movie: I see only the green bar.

Please, someone has had similar problems to my and resolved?
What should I do on Windows servers?
The firewall is open on port 1395, but I do not have results.

Also, if using Flash Media Encoder 2.5 (locally) and use <Stream to Flash media Server> after entering the username and password I have this error
Primary - [ AccessManager.Reject ] : [ authmod=adobe ] : ?reason=needauth&user ...


Someone can help me?
Thank you

Flash Media Server Only Works Local On Server
i just installed a developers version of the flash media server on a windows server.
i don't have any problems while starting my applications on the server itself.
the problem only appears when i try to connect from a different computer which is not located in this network,
at least a connection from "outside".

there is no firewall right now on that server that this can't be the problem.

when starting the media server by the managment console i also do login with the domain-name of the server and not with localhost...locally all is working well...but not from outside.

i also try to test port 1935, 443 and 80, but none succeed from outside.

what i also tried is to run a version of the flash communication server 1.5 on my home pc also running a windows server. in this case i had the same problems: could only get a connection locally but not from outside...i.e. the connection to the server failed.

anyone an idea?

Flash Media Server Vs PROXY Server/firewire
Hi All,

Can anyone help us, we have a multiway communication app developed in flash utlising FMS for audio communication. But now we find out that the end client is sitting behind a proxy server. What are the best ways of being able to send the communication through their poxy server without making major changes to the server itself? Otherwise this whole project is floored because no connection can be made.
note: it works fine when the client is not behind the firewall.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Flash Media Server / Proxy Server / AS 2 Help
I was wondering any of you guys on the board can help me with an issue I'm having on this project I'm working on...

I'm working on this flash video player that loads .flv's stored on a Flash Media Server through a proxy server. So the swf that's on server A loads a .flv on server B through a proxy server. The thing is that I built the player in AS 2.0 -using the FLVplayback component (I know I know, but I'm just learning 3.0) , and it's not working right now, and we have diagnosed that it's most probably because the ProxyType is not set and it needs to be HTTP i think. I know you can do it in 3.0, but I'm not sure of an equivalent way to do it in 2.0? Would I have to write something to extend the class?

Help!

Thanks in advance

Flash Media Server, Does It Need Server Side?

Window Media Server And Flash Server
hi experts,
I am rather new to Flash Media Server, but quite impressed with what flash server can do. however, i have a few questions which i could not find any answer on the website:

1) Could Flash Media Server co-exists on the same server with Window Media Server? Can both run at the same time?

2) Could Microsoft cluster service support Flash Media server or Window Media server? If not, is there any other way for high avail support?

Thank you guys in advance.

Accessing Flash Media Server From Another Web Server
Hi,

I have installed Flash Media Server 3 Developer Edition on a server to test out some flv files but cannot seem to access the files from another web server. I have not created an application in FMS3 but have placed the videos files in the VOD Media folder. Could this be a firewall issue and if so what port do I need to open up?

Kind regards

Recording Webcam Stream: Flash Media Encoder Basic
Hi,

I need some help in explaining flash media encoder, and whether I am doing the wrong way. Please bare with me if some of my questions sounded dumb. I am building an application where user can visit my webpage to record their own video via webcam. The files will be played back after the recording.

I developed a script from one of the adobe tutorials, which needed flash media encoder to display live streams while recording. My question is, should I install the FME in my FMS Hosting? or every user who wants to record a video needs to install FME on their PC? I wouldn't want that to happen (asking user to install FME), is there a work around solution for this? Say: Install FME in my FMS hosting, and stream all recording concurrently?

Or, I should just drop the idea of using FME to stream and record my video files. But the output at FME is being optimized NICELY, I do not want to miss that out. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Save "Shareobject" Data In A Server Without Flash Media Server.
Hi there!

I´m Triyng to save "shareobject" data in a server from a Flash Game, in order to save each player score or any data. I´ve heard that it's made doing "sharedobject.getRemote". So each player would logg in and save their score wherever they are (from any PC conected in a server). So the Flash cookies should be in the server.

The problem is that to make that user would need to have the Flash Media Server installed...

So it´s possible to save "Shareobject" data in a server without Flash Media Server.

Thank you in advance
