Very basic question: Flash Media Server vs embedding flash video

I hope it's a quick easy question to answer:

What is the difference between Flash Media Server or simply using a freeware Flash media player (like Flowplayer http://flowplayer.org/) that uses XML playlists to embed your Flash videos on a Web site?

What are the benefits of Flash Media Server and how something like Flowplayer not issues that the FMS can?

Thanks in advance!

Erik

In a word flowplayer offers the video through your web browser. It does so via the HTTP (port 80) and on any web server progressive download

Progressive download concludes the video on the server and played through the player it is being downloaded. 2 important things to take this are 1, the video is downloaded to clients, at the end of reading's hard drive, they will have a copy of your video that they can do what they want and repost it somewhere else. 2, it plays as it downloads, which means that if I see a video of 10 minutes on your site and want to skip to the middle or the end I have to wait for the entire video to download before viewing these segments. Your host, incidentally you will love for progressive download because it will appear as if your transfer rates went through the roof. Once demand for the video made it has not returned back, the customer gets all if they watch it or not.

Flash media server using rtmp Protocol. This Protocol is an open protocol socket through port 1935. Essentially, it's a two way street. When the user views a video using FMS get basically just enough video to keep the connection open and satisfy the buffer necessary to ensure a clean reading. Bytes of info that carry the video go only to the memory of the users, not the hard drive. This allows the user to come and go around the film without having to wait for all to download.

Hope that helps.

  • Entities does not Contribution - very basic question

    Hi guys,.

    My apologies for this very basic question: I am very new to Hyperion, with just one week of training! Anyway, I'm building a basic model and have noticed that my features are not in the dimension value roll altogether the [Contribution]. This means that entities do not roll upwards!

    It was suggested that problem was that I needed a Sub consolidate in the rules, but I put the attribute 'ConsolidationRules' = n. In the documentation it is defined as "N to use the consolidation by default and eliminations".

    I was wondering is there anything else that is needed to use default groups, or do I need to create rules?

    Thank you
    G

    Why do you think that's not driving? If your building rules are set to "n" you don't need rules.

    Make sure that your presentation was made to IsConsoldiate. Make sure that you're displaying a "Parent.Child" to total Contribution.

  • Very basic question I think?

    Hi im very new to flash, but I'm looking to learn more about it, I tried to use the pre-built Flash components and I was just wondering where and how you can retrieve the values in the boxes checked

    I know how to check using the 1 box

    If (instancename.value = true) {}
    trace ("box has been checked");
    }

    but I want to run through a series of 5 boxes and retrieve all the labels in a first time, I can probably work on verification, if they are checked, but all the I get filament is not set which, I guess, no value.

    This is the code I used to try to recover all the labels of each box at the press of a button

    We (Release)
    {
    trace ("clicked");
    var i = 1;

    While (I < 5) {}
    trace ("Running while");
    i ++ ;
    trace ( check box. Label);
    trace (i);


    }

    }

  • Pix 515E, VERY basic question

    I just pulled the thing out of the box and he turned on.

    I put it on our internal network plugged a laptop inside interface and went through the Setup Wizard.

    I gave the external interface a static address, said pat for internal systems (just the laptop listed above), and all seemed well.

    He already seems to be an access rule that allows all outbound traffic, but I can see something beyond the inside interface (192.168.1.1) on the laptop.

    I ping around the world since the pix, but the poor internal system sees nothing.

    I am very new to Cisco and am sure I'm missing something basic.

    Anyone want to help our a beginner?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can watch the traffic on any interface by applying

    the folloving command

    capture (capture name) int (interface name)

    through the show (name of capture) capt command you

    See the packets captured on this interface

    Example: I want to watch the traffic on the inside of the interface

    In capture tony type mode interface privileged (#) inside the

    then see tony snapshot

    In this case, you should see incoming ICMP echo packets to the laptop. (I don't think they come, I guess you don't have the road to the 192.168.0.0 network (or just default to 192.168.1.1 - and only road!) in your laptop). Try the road print on laptop computer command to check.

    ICMP commands in your configuration are not ACL commands, they control only ICMP join the PIX

    interfaces, no ICMP by PIX.

    So I don't think that you can successfully ping

    192.168.0.111 ICMP echo packets, but should leave

    the PIX outside interface and the response to the ICMP echo

    192.168.0.111 packets would be arrested to that

    return ping interface. This could be seen in

    PIX log (see the logg). You must start logging in configuration by

    conf t

    LOGG on

    LOGG buff 7

    You can also apply the capture on the external interface.

    To get the return of packages 192.168.0.111 ping, you must apply a list of access on the external interface of the PIX. As written in the previous post.

  • A very basic Question of practice

    Hello

    I would ask, by my knowledge of the component of ADF layout, conversion from a static design in Pages ADF Model/layout means actually build from scratch, because we have to use all the tags like StretchLayout/PanelLayout, etc... However the static design are mainly some html tags, I know it's common when convert static design to the dynamic, just want to know if there is some magic/innovator of do in the ADF, thank you very much.

    -Liang Yi

    If your static design consist only of html tags, you are right that you have to build templates or pages from scratch using the adf framework available containers.

    There is no tool that I know who does this automatically, but you should be able to see some models that you can transfer in disposal containers. A good starting point is this doc http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adffaceslayoutbasics-2046652.pdf

  • A very basic question

    Something was bothering me for some time now.  I used ACR for several years but never found what I look at when I open an image in ACR.   I understand that the RAW image is the image not transformed with settings that can be applied - what I understand is metadata that can change the parameters of the image and nothing is actually changed except these instructions of metadata.   SO - what we look for when we see an image in ACR.  I don't see a lot of zeros and a few - I see a picture: it must therefore be an interpretation of metadata.    So what gives us the image?  What is a jpg preview or what?  Something was done to allow us to view the RAW data.   Can someone enlighten me please after all these years.

    Thank you very much

    To get just a little more technical, something similar to the following occurs:

    • The raw data, which is not organized as a picture at all in most camera files, are read from the disk and interpreted in a block of pixels of RAM in your computer.
    • Different Camera Raw controls are applied to the pixels in the RAM memory.
    • The pixels of the RAM are sent to your video card to display on your monitor.
    • Whenever you modify a control, all or part of the process that precedes repeats.

    Modern computers are so fast they can do the above, which includes literally billions of transactions, in the blink of an eye!

    It is, of course, extremely simplistic for clarity.

  • A very basic question about the shared storage

    To implement GR 11, 2 in Sun SPARC 5.10, our sys admins have allocated block devices in the shared storage and they sent us a letter mentioning the disks. This is what looks like their mail

    Storage attached with the Node1
    /dev/rdsk/c4ikdzs3
    /dev/rdsk/c4ikdzs4
    .
    .
    Storage attached to Node2
    /dev/rdsk/c5ikdzj2
    /dev/rdsk/c5ikdzj5
    .
    .
    When I connect with the Node1: / dev/rdsk, I see
    /dev/rdsk/c4ikdzs3
    /dev/rdsk/c4ikdzs4
    .
    .
    as they have said. Same for Node2


    But all raw devices mentioned above should be visible at/dev/rdsk of nodes. Right? Isn't that whole point of CARS; Shared storage ?

    Not exactly, if you are referring to the names of devices...

    Each core will make a discovery to support when starting. When dealing with the LUN through one HBA (or similar), there is absolutely no guarantee that the nuclei will detect the LUNS in the same order and assign the same scsi device names to them. A LUN can be called device-foo-1 on a single server and device-foo-21 on another.

    In addition, several HBAs will be dual port and dual fiber running channels. So, not only is the same logic unit seen as a scsi device, different number of each core but you can see more than once. Device-foo-1 and device-foo-33 may be the same physical LUN on server 1.

    To solve this logical device name is required. This will be the name of the same device on all servers - and that it will support multiple paths of I/O to the LUN in turn seamlessly. This is done by looking at the unique signature of the SCSI - called WWID or World Wide nameof the software "special driver. With this unique signature, s/w only recognizes a specific LUN, regardless of what server s/w runs on.

    This s/w is called Multipath on Linux, EMC Powerpath and so on. I expect that you will have something similar on your servers.

    Scsi device that is mapped by the kernel to the unit number logic is not used. In the case of multipath , for example, use the + / dev/mpath/mpath+ devices. In the case of Powerpath, these will be + / dev/emcpower+ devices.

    What are the names of device you will use to 11g Grid Infrastructure and Oracle ASM and RAC installation and configuration of shared storage.

  • Client Oracle / 10 g ORACLE_HOME / very basic Question

    Hi all

    I am a little bit confused about something for installating the Oracle DB and his Client on the same computer, Windows (Vista Business, 32-bit).

    In the release notes, it is said (4.3), you can install the Oracle Client in the House of the same version as the database.
    In the installation instructions, it is said, • "You must install the Oracle database Client in a new Oracle Directory." (Article 3).

    FIRST QUESTION: OK even if the notes of publication wins installation, I'm assuming (am I right here?) you CAN install the client in a separate House?

    During the installation of the database, there is an instruction to create the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. This is repeated in the installation of the hotfix. When I installed the client - in a separate House - UI deleted environment variable because "is not necessary for all Oracle products."
    (I realized after the fact that the installation of the database and the client before installing the patch would have been better.) SO-

    SECOND QUESTION: Should I create the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. and if so, for which the House, when I install the patch for the customer?

    Thank you

    Edited by: DonnaF May 21, 2009 10:50

    When you install the client, yes it's true, it must be installed in a separate Oracle home. The only reason why I found to justify the installation of Oracle client under the same roof of Oracle RDBMS is due to the availability of administrative tools. In previous versions (9iR2) when the installation took place he installed Oracle Enterprise Manager as well as the RDBMS Oracle Home. From 10 gR 1, Oracle Enterprise Manager (thick java client) is no longer installed with the database, but if you need to install it, you need not create a separate Oracle home.

    Now why you want to install the OEM heavy customer when DBControl EM is available in 10g? The reason because if you want to use Oracle streams, those can not be set in EM DB control, as well as the for replication option, it is not available in EM DB control. So you will need to install the client. One more reason? If you ever plan to set up Enterprise User Security and virtual private database, then will need you the tools to manage the E.U.S. and the OPM (Oracle Policy Manager). Those that are available only in java heavy client mode.

    So, if you don't need these administration tools, and you don't plan to use, you can perfectly live with the RDBMS as is.

    In fact said 0 padding and margin 0, or are you assuming that
    There is no padding or margin because you do not specify any?

    Most browsers use a padding by default and margin applied when you
    don't specify anything whatsoever, and it varies from a browser. Try
    specifying 0 padding and margin 0, if you do not already have.

  • Flash Media Server 2 - protect the RTMP stream...

    Hello

    I'm working on a project involving Flash Media Server 2 and streaming
    videos using the RTMP protocol.


    At first I thought I could just use the FLVPlayback control, but it
    doesn't seem so safe. I don't even need to connect to the
    NetConnection object before their passage along a value in the .source
    property or .load method.


    Then I started watching NetStreams and then using attachNetStream to
    a video object. In this way, it will only connect in the stream if it
    successfully hooked up with the NetConnection
    (application.acceptConnection). am I correct in assuming that this is more
    ensure that the use of a control of FLVPlayback?


    Is it possible to pass a stream to a FLVPlayback control, so the user interface is
    already created, including the implementation of start/stop/pause and the read head they can
    use to Polish? Or y at - it an easy way to build the user interface on a custom
    video object? All links to examples would be greatly appreciated.


    I currently if users can click on the thumbnails (loads through XML)
    to. seek() to specific tasks in the workflow. Which works very well. But
    the main feature I need now is a head of reading and scrub bar. I know
    I could quite easily create a Play/Pause/Stop button.


    Sorry if this question does not make much sense. For now, I'm
    feeling a little lost in this project :)


    Thank you

  • Live from Flash Media Server in Captivate

    Hello

    We are fortunate to have a Flash Media Server (4) which allows us to distribute video on our LAN using Flash CS5 and didn't have any problems. However, when I try to use it for Captivate 5 files I've had no success (even with 4 incidentally). I tried just about every chain I can think of no position, with the post office, FLV, to f4v, /mp4:, different folders / no record (VOD) etc etc. There must be something fundamentally wrong with what I do, but for the life of me I can't think what. The media server is currently providing video on our Intranet and we also use it for Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro. Any help on this is appreciated.
