Can any body help me?

[mattymatoo]

Hi,

I've just downloaded the developer version of Flash Media Server for testing
but am having problems even setting up a stream.

I'm totally new to Flash streaming!

When I log in to the server using the Management Control Panel under 'View
Applications' I get a greyed out screen saying 'Please load an application' and
clicking the 'New instance' button doesn't do anything.

I have the _defaultVhost_ underneath Server 1 but can't add any applications
to it.

Does anybody know where I am going wrong?

Thanks

do you have any virus protect program or Firewall ? check it

[mattymatoo]

Security isn't the issue.

I've been searching the net on Adobe, Google, MSN etc.. to find simple (To The
Point) instructions on how to set-up an application to allow to me to stream
FLV. But i've not been able to find anything!

All I want to do is setup an application to allow me to stream FLV by RTMP.

Can anyone give me some basic instructions?

Thanks
Matt

Hi
I have also faced the same problem as mattymatoo.
Totally new to Flash Streaming.

I am using a application called Streamz to pump FLV files to Flash Media
Server to broadcast the videos out. From what i know, the Flash Media Server
CANNOT receive those files. It requires a medium or another application in
order to work.

Can anyone give some basic advice for us to carry on from there ?
Thanks.

Just another Newbie ...
We have got the similar problem. For my best knowledge, there is no
'simple', straightforward way to stream FLV files over RTMP, from
client to FMS/FCS
There are following client side RTMP streaming alternatives:
- Flash Player embeds Soronsen encoder that can be used to stream
webcam+mic to the FMS. There is no built in FLV streaming support.
- Based on above, you can install something that is called 'virtual
camera'. It is a device driver that imitate camera/mic and can read
FLV file and RTMP' it FMS. This is aint straighforward, you hardly
establish commercial application in device level imitation.
- FME - Flash Media Encoder. Standalone application that RTMP' camera/
mic to FMS, using VP6 encoding. VP6 is more efficient than Sorrensen.
FME is not an SDK, can not be used programmatically.
- On2 Flix Live SDK. On2 is the company that developed VP6 codec. This
SDK is provides DirectShow filters that can transcode (with other
filters) 'any' media format to FLV and end it to FMS via RTMP. We are
evaluating this one right now. Currently there sample application is
being successfully compiled, not without problems - VC 2005 Express
can not do it, due to lack of ATL support, you must have VC 2005 Pro.
But it fails to run - crashes.

So any assistance will be appreciated - how to steam FLV from client,
On2 SDK help, anything.
