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.

Thanks

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?
Ive been importing my videos and selecting flash media server, which I thought was streaming. However its always worked fine and I dont understand what these extra files are that are needed on the server? Are my videos just converting to progressive video? Because I never knew they needed special files yet they have always worked or so it seems!

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

New Flash MX Communication Server Bug
Hi anyone tried the new Flash MX communication server trial , cause when I installed it the suggested components that must show up in the Flash authoring tool were not there ...I tried it on a several computers with the same result.

Flash Communication Server
What the hell is this. Another version of flash. I spent over 500 dollars when MX first came out, excited about the possibility of video conferencing development, and it turns out you need this new version to do this. Please tell me I am mistaken. If I am not, to hell with Macromedia. This is the kind of crap that makes people down load software illegally.

Is there a way I can create video conferencing with the current MX and use another type of server software to connect applications together?

Concerned, broke, and pissed,
troy

Flash Communication Server
Is there anybody out there who is or has developed anything in flash communication server, I am interested in what people are doing with it, and would love to see some URL's.

FLV For Flash Communication Server
Hi:
I have a book by Kevin Towes (Macromedia Flash Comm Server MX)
where he explains about using Flash MX to export FLV to be used for
Flash Communication server. I tried exporting my FLV using both
Flash MX and Flash MX 2004. I still cannot get it streamed thru the
FCS. I am sure the problem is not with my codings but with the flv,
most probably.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Flash Communication Server
Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys have played around with FlashComm at all? I am currently taking a class, and trying to get the hang of it. The class is pretty comprehensive and I'm not doing having too much trouble. But I definately have some question reguarding some techniques that my professor hasn't touched upon and I was wondering if any of you guys had any knowledge about.

My question is about how the client-side AS relates to the server side AS. I'm sitting here looking at both files, and I can't figure it out. It's not really a technical question pursay. I'm just looking at this sample file for an Mp3 player and the client side script doesn't call upon the server side script at all. Does it just know to do it? or is this sample file just wrong? Here is th code I'm looking at:

Quote:

CLIENT SIDE

//Connection
var hookup_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
hookup_nc.connect("rtmp:/zmp3select/spin");
var musicStream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(hookup_nc);
//Classics
start_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamClassics");
musicStream_ns.play("myMusic");
};
//Blues
blues_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamBlues");
musicStream_ns.play("myMusic");
};
//Music Off
stop_btn.onPress = function() {
hookup_nc.call("streamsOff");
musicStream_ns.close();
};

Quote:

SERVER SIDE

application.onConnect = function(player) {
application.acceptConnection(player);
player.streamClassics = function() {
player.mySounds = Stream.get("myMusic");
if (player.mySounds) {
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Mozart1", 0);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Regal", 0, -1, false);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:Bolero", 0, -1, false);
}
};
player.streamBlues = function() {
player.mySounds = Stream.get("myMusic");
if (player.mySounds) {
player.mySounds.play("mp3:IndianBlues", 0);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:ye", 0, -1, false);
player.mySounds.play("mp3:palmsway", 0, -1, false);
}
};
player.streamsOff = function() {
player.mySounds.play(false);
};
};

Flash Communication Server Help
Hi,
What is Flash Communication Server exactly?

How can i use it?

Please give details where can i find tutorial to learn & use it.

Thanks in advance.
- Smita.

Flash Communication Server......
I have a free trial of the Flash Communication server. I just wondered if its the same as the Multiuser server which comes with Macromedia Director MX, If it is, is it possible to make chat rooms?

If you can any tutorials?

Flash <-> Server Communication
I don't know much about Flash but I need to judge its appropriatness for a future project. In particular, I am interested in its app <-> server communcation abilities.

There are two cases that I can think of:

1) Can a Flash app running in a browser periodically retrieve updated data from a Web server?

2) Can a Web server periodically send updated data to a Flash app running in a browser? For that matter, can the server even keep track of which users still have the Flash app running in their browsers (assuming the app was downloaded from the same server)?

I found Macromedia Flash Remoting MX. Is that what I need? It looks promissing but it's very expensive (1000 USD) and only runs on a Windows box. Are there any alternatives?

Thank you very much for your help!

Flash Media Server Vs. Com Server?
I'm on a Mac, and am researching the Flash Media Server options.

I have downloaded some of the authoring kits available for the Mac, but am a
bit confused about the demo/trial of one that says
Flash Communications Server.
Is that different or the same thing as the Media Server?

New Forum?: Flash Communication Server
I was just wondering (especially to any moderators out there), if there was a chance of setting up a Flash Communication Server MX forum. Is there anyone out there using it? I've been looking at it pretty closely and wouldn't mind sharing a few things (and of course, asking questions of others.) It's a great program, and I was kind of curious what others were doing with it. (Yeah, I could just post in the MX forum, but there's a lot of messages to sift through in here.) Thanks.

Flash Communication Server Problem
Does anyone have any idea on how to authenticate a user so that they must enter their user name and password to logon to the system. Im developing a chatroom,video-conference and whiteboard facility using flash components and I need to authenticate the user so that they can log-on successfully. Any ideas?

Flash Communication Server(FCS) Application
I'm working on a Flash Communication Server(FCS) Application :

The application's objective is mainly aimed at conferencing along with features like (normal text chat + video display + whiteboard + image slides + text slides + file uploads etc.)

The application uses Flash MX + FCS + Flash remoting + CF + MS SQL

Now what i intend to achieve is :

1) currently there's a 'powerpoint' tool in the application just converts the powerpoint slides into jpg files and displays these in the application's session - we would like to see about the possibility of being able to import a full powerpoint file into the shared session so that it maintains all powerpoint features (i.e. animation, page transitions, etc.)

2) the ability to have a 'shared' web browser in the application's session so that a user could control a browser and the other participants could view the same.

QUESTION : ARE THE ABOVE MENTIONED POINTS POSSIBLE? (using the above mentioned technologies, or by integrating some other technology which could further communicate to the afore mentioned technologies. )

Confused About Flash Communication Server
I have be playing with this and electro server

It seems to me they both have the same ability to create semi real time games.. But why do I not read anything about writing games with flash communication server?

As far as the difference between that and electro server... it which situation is one better than the other?

FCS seems heavily into chatting and sending audio and video back and forth yes?

Flash Communication Server Alternatives

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
