I've used Flash Media Server to create multiplayer flash games, but the cost of deploying a FMS application seems rather high. Are there good alternatives, open source or not, that I should look into to mimic the same functionality? I'm specifically looking at using FMS for the aspect of synching game-play state between users running t...
I recently upgraded my environment from Flash Media Server 2to Flash Media Server 3, and I'm seeing a new behavior that's bugging me. For some of my applications FMS is creating an "http" directory under the application's directory, and creating subdirectories within that for each application instance. So, for an app called "myApp" sto...

I'm looking for some solutions for creating an mp3 player in flash; one that either uses streaming or some kind of obfuscation to prevent users from downloading the source mp3. If I used a server/solution that used the RMTP: protocol, would that prevent the download? Are there any possibilities for using Amazon S3 server for serving the ...
I have a simple video player set up that streams from a flash media server. The video plays fine, but the majority of the seek commands send it back to the first frame of the video. If I don't use flash media server it will seek to any point which has already been loaded. Any ideas what could cause this? ...
I've been following the basic FMS instructions to load an mp3 and play it. This is working very well. I've also got a second NetStream instance (id3Stream) that should load the ID3 data from the same mp3, but all I get is a StreamNotFound error. Why would the mp3 stream and play but the id3 data be "not found"? Any help would be apprecia...
Hi! I'm trying to implement a flex app that will be able to record a video from a webcam and then upload it to a server. I've only found tutorials and examples that require a media server running such as Red5, Flash Media Server and Wowza and an open rtmp stream to the server. However, I want to know if it's possible to record a video...
I want to record a stream which is published with Flash Live Encoder to FMS 3.5, but split the recording in files with predefined length. For example if a stream 'webcam' is published I want to record it in chunks of 10 minutes: 'webcam1.flv', 'webcam2.flv' ... From what I can tell there's no facility to work with timers. The only solut...
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck connecting one FMS to another FMS (two different physical machines) via a server-side NetConnection, then having the first call a method on the second. I'm able to make the connection fine (though the NetConnection.Connect.Success event never fires). After which I have the Flash client call...
I am very new to Flash development. I have an asp.net mvc site that has a controller action that returns JSON. I have a Flash Media Server setup that needs to call that controller action every 15 minutes to get the current schedule. I can get the FMS to call the site (and every 15 minutes no problem) and I am getting the JSON right now...

Hi, I am configuring our Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 and need some help.

Now I wou...
I came across this comparison chart that suggests that FMS costs about 4.5 grands (compared to $995 for wowza and free for Red5). Since I'm at the stage of choosing/learning the technology, I'd rather take free Red5, but Red5 looks like a poorly-organized, poorly-documented, and poorly-featured project compared to FMS or wowza, so I'm go...

Hello, Is there a way to cancel a netstream publish from flex to a flash media server? The issue is I have code where I can Start/Stop a recording to my Flash media server. However in my front end I have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the current recording and all this code essentially does it close the netstream. ...
I want to add a users list to simple chat, and I'm thinking if whether there is a difference or is it the same thing (speed) if you have list of users on your server and you update it and call all clients and send this list when somebody connects or disconnects or use a SharedObject instead and handle the sync method on the client So is...
