I am having a very similar experience.  If I try to encode from either the GUI or the command line FMLE just dies.  Same basic configuration except that instead of a Dell R710 I have a Dell R900 with 24GB RAM and four quad-core Intels and am using an Osprey 700HD card.  The server is 2003 R2 Enterprise in an Active Directory environment.

I have two other live streams running at a different location with no issues - one also on an R900 with slightly different specs.  The drivers for the Osprey are the latest as I just downloaded them today.  I also redownloaded FMLE and reinstalled.  I have also verified the video drivers are the latest and have adjusted the video settings to no avail.

I also can encode successfully if I turn off the video and only stream audio.  If I turn the audio back on it dies.

I have attached three log files from my most recent attempts, but the almost always end with nothing or in garbage.

As I have to leave the west coast tomorrow I will most likely move the card and software to a different server in hopes that will work, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Try using H.264 codec without resize option (same input and output sizes) with 3.0.1 FMLE.

Also try using the 2.5 version of FMLE and try with and without resize for both vp6 and h264.

Please get back with the results.

Hello nmalhotra, et al.

Here are my results to your suggestions:

1: Changing the output size to 480X360 does indeed work.  The encoder starts properly and does not crash.  What's interesting about that is the profile used on this machine is the exact same profile used on the other two machines and they work with the 400X298 size.  The problem is that, because of the site design, I need the video to be 400X300.  I will do some more checking on this, and I will also do some manual adjusting of the profile.  It appears that the resizing is what's causing the issue.

2: Turning off auto adjust does nothing - still crashes.

3: Switching to VP6 does nothing - still crashes.

4-7: I put everything back to its original settings and followed your instructions.  Attached is a ZIP of the output, to include the log file from that session.

It sounds to me like the issue is the resizing.  What's puzzeling is that it works on two other servers, one a Dell R900 and one a Dell 2950, both with Server 2003 R2.

I'll continue to poke around and report back any results I find.

Much thanks for your help so far.

Sorry but there is no such option for GUI. You can do it for FMLECmd only

Yes, future versions of FMLE will support 16 core processor.

With a high-end 16-core CPU and SDI cards, what do you broadcast? I am just curious to know your workflow and how FMLE fits into it.

And by looking at the history of FMLE releases, it won't be too long for this one also

How do I get flash media live encoder in the command line to start automatically when I tell it using the task schedular and also to start encoding when I have it start?  I am trying to save to file when it starts encoding and then to stop automatically after the certain time I tell it to stop. How do I do this?

Thanks, Dan

Hello Kslimani,

Thanks, I have that page memorized. I'm trying to start the cmd line to auto start streaming, and saving to file when I tell it to, using the task schedular in windows.  Then after a certain amount of time, I will need it to stop.

Thanks,

Dan

Can you show me an example of what you mean please?

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

I'm experiencing the same issue after migrating to from an 8 core system to a 16 core system. Has support for 16 cores/VP6/H.264 resizing been implemented yet?

- Thanks

KC,

Thanks for the advice. I was moreover looking for an update as to whether this issue has been resolved with the 3.1 release; especially because the first post in this thread is from some time ago. Unfortunately, I can't turn off hyper threading in the BIOS, I actually have 16 cores (two 8 core, 2.3 GHz opterons, optimized for video editing and uncompressed HD recording). And as far as the output resizing is concerned, I need to be able to do multibitrate webasting and I'm bringing in letterboxed 16:9 content at 720x480 that necessitates cropping and resizing. I think I'll just end up bringing a dual core bootcamped mac and running it side by side with the webcasting box just for FMLE.....(exhales).....again. This way I can have audio issues related to the audio input from the ADVC700 instead of the inability to webcast in a resized format at all....

-Eh.
