FMS2 Doesn't work - Not a seamless upgrade

[newfymonty]

My company upgraded to FMS2 from FCS. We have been creating streaming media
for some time and have been very successful in doing this... Until now. We
installed the server and mapped the file folders to the new server. Not only
can't we get the old media to play, we can't get new Flash 8 video to play.
For instance: rtmp://serverlocation/foldername/myinstance/foldername/FLVmedia
We keep getting Failed to load FLV message

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

If FMS is on the same machine as your FCS installation was.... did you
uninstall FCS 1.5? I had the same problem, but I noticed that is was because
FCS was still installed and running, and was occupying ports 1935 and 80.

Are you having problems connecting to FMS via the admin console?

[newfymonty]

They are both on the same server although we did do a check to make sure that
both 1935 and 80 were attached to the FMS and that the FCS was stopped.

We were successful in connecting to the FMS via the admin console. As a
matter of fact, we could even see the comm attempts so we know it's connecting
but we are still getting the same response when we try to access the FLV files.


Very frustrating to say the least.

PS I fogot to mention that when accessing Flash 7 videos most of the time the
audio starts but the video fails to show unless you click on the refresh button
in the browser. It could take as many as three or four times before the video
shows.

I am having exactly the same problem. Were you able to successfully stream video with FMS2?

[newfymonty]

Hi, Unfortunately no. I have to say I am extremely disappointed with
Macromedia (Adobe) with the lack of support for this product. I have never
been pleased with their documentation. It's the same old story of clear as
mud. Let me know if you have any luck.

[JayCharles]

Have you contacted Macromedia directly? This is a user to user support forum, and I don't think the MM people read in on it all that often.

[newfymonty]

Hi,
Yes I did and they want to charge me for support so needless to say I am not a real fan of FMS right now.

Hi,

I just intalled FMS Linux version in my Fedora Core 3 box. I tried samples and tutorials including sample_videoconference of FCS1.5. It seems working.

Hi mang10me,

I did try video streaming within my LAN of three PCs, one of them is the Fedora Box. It works.

I tried to setup FMS2 on any platforms (linux, windows)
and can't connect too
connection work only from same machine where FMS installed :(

i'm use sniffer for check packets -
TCP connection to server exists, client sends packets and take ACK's from
mashine with FMS, but FMS not show connection in management console.
But i'm seen that FMSCore and FMSAdmin process making connections to
[url]www.3dbilling.com[/url]

TCP dmitryus2:1111 [url]www.3dbilling.com:1523[/url] ESTABLISHED 3856
TCP dmitryus2:1320 [url]www.3dbilling.com:11110[/url] ESTABLISHED 3416

What does it mean ??? (3dbilling.com is a triXXX service) trojan or spyware
!!! ?
(Intsllation of FMS2 was taken from macromedia.com)

Does anyone know where take old version of FMS (FCS) ?

Hi Everybody,

For all those who were not able to connct the "rtmp://myapp"....

Follow these Steps: (which we have followed and successfully connected after a
long blast for 3 days)

1. Install Flash Media Server in localhost folder.....i.e. either .... htdoc
(for Apache) or wwwroot (for IIS) ....

2. We have ....path....Flash Media Server
2/applications/tutorial_textchat/main.asc ..... right!!!

3. And further .... For the html and swf files that have come along the
Samples of Macromedia ..... follow this path.....

Flash Media Server 2/applications/tutorial_textchat.html

and

Flash Media Server 2/applications/tutorial_textchat.swf

4. Start FMS2 and Web Server.....and access it from other machine....

5. Hey guys ..... this works .... now u can chat with a network connected
machine....or play games ....create one.....for sure....

I have done this ..... !!! and it Works....

UPDATES on 14th Feb 2006:

Might as well u dont do the above step No. 3, but do the following....even
though u are not under any Firewall etc....do this....

1 more thing to do :

Go to Control Settings.....Windows Firewall.....Exceptions tab....Add port
button.....

Name : rtmp

Port Number : 1935

......This 100% works.....Tell me when this works......
