Flash Media Server 3 Demos
I am about to start the FMS 3 apac tour in 2 days time and I have prepared some demo apps to be used with the tour. Below is the link to the files if anyone is interested. To use the files, you would need to have FMS 3 developer edition and Flash CS3 installed on your machine. You also need to be familiar with AS3 for client-side code and AS1 for server-side code. Enjoy!

I’ll join the seminar on next week as my company coming will take a project that using Streaming Flash Solution. I’m a newbie in Flash industry and I want to have some reference to learn how to use the Flash Streaming Server. Any Comments?
[...] Brian Chau has graciously offered up some sample apps to get you started with FMS3 (they are exercises for his upcoming class). These come set up to run on FMS3 running locally (the free Developer edition would work for this). http://brianchau.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/flash-media-server-3-demos/ [...]
I have attended your seminar last week. I looking for License Server for the DRM of flash video which you mentioned during the seminar. I have searched Adobe website but can’t find anything about it. Can you post the URL on that License Server.
sk, the DRM of Adobe Media Player is handled by the Flash Media Rights Management Server. You can get more info by downloading the CDK from the link below:

謝謝今天下午您在台北的演講。
I am new to flash media server. If i were to develop an application for live video recording, should i use FMIS or FMSS? In our country, the most common bandwidth is 1Mbps, I have calculated my minimum video will be 233kbps, takes around 2 minutes, how many simultaneous client will I have at a time?
Samantha, live video recording is a feature of FMIS, not FMSS.
As the video is 233kbps, so people with 1 Mbps would have no problem viewing the video stream. As to the number of simultaneous client FMIS can serve, it can serve up to the satuation limit of the bandwidth of the server. Assuming your FMIS server has 1 Gbps network card and bandwidth, you can in theory have 1000000/233 = 4291 clients. In practice, I would multipy by 0.7 to give an approx of 3000 clients.
我正在學習FMS3,您可以把這些范例文件發給我(tamt.zxc[at]gmail.com嗎?非常感謝。因為不知道為什么沒辦法下載中老是出錯。
Hi, I’ve made all the basic steps to install FMS 3, the encoders is ok, the administration panel shows the connections, but when I launch the livetest.htm I still can’t see the video is there something else that I’m not makig? tks.
J@C, try the following steps:
1. Start FME. The FMS URL should be: rtmp://localhost/live. Stream name should be “livestream”.
2. Click “connect” button. The status should read “connected”.
3. Click the “Start” button to start streaming.
4. You can check the FMS admin console. The connection should be 1 and there should be bandwidth graph to see data being stream into the FMS.
5. Then launch the livetest.html page and click the “go” button.
6. The FMS admin console should now updated to show 2 connections.
Hi Brian,
I have just installed FMS3 on my server. Everything is working fine on localhost but when I want to point to the file from another computer (where my flash cs3 is installed) I am unable to locate the file via (rtmp://xxx.xx.xx.xxx/vod/sample.flv) using “Import Video”. Am I missing out a step or something here? Please give me some advice.
Thanks in advance
can FMS3 do DRM or encryption so that the flash clip cannot be saved by Real Player11?
FMS streams video so there is no physical copy of the video to be saved. The stream can even be enrypted (using rtmpe protocol). For progressive downloaded flash video, Adobe has a new server solution called Flash Media Rights Managemet Server (FMRMS) which can protect downloaded video watched via AIR or AMP.

Prem, is xxx.xx.xx.xxx the domain name of server where FMS is installed?
