    Encore CS4 problem uploading flash streams to remote ftp in build

    kdlla Community Member
      Hi

      I'm working on a windows XP and trying to upload to my my remote server which has a new install of the Adobe Flash Streaming Media Server 3.5

      as for Encore
      under build when creating a streaming flash I can't log into my ftp site, only to local folder.

      I created a link to my ftp site under networks, when trying to link to this FTP Encore won't accept it.

      no problem creating flash progressive downloads but impossible to upload the streaming version.

      progressive is really not the desired output.

      how can I log onto the ftp site?

      thanks in advance

          Never done this. I didn't believe you would actually build to a streaming server, but it still looks that way. Is there a different logon to the streaming server rather than an ftp site?

            Hi Stanley

            got the software from Adobe, contacted my sever company thePlanet.com
            had my server there and had them configure a brand new server from scratch with the Adobe Streaming Media server installed.

            The upload ftp is actually very different and the media goes directly to the root where the adobe streaming media server is installed into a subfolder. thus the streaming are NOT in the various IP's or domains. but in the root of server where the adobe software is installed. I have not tested it yet but will do so this weekend.

            I made some streaming flash conversions with Sorenson Squeeze but only in FLV (VP6 Pro)not the new F4V format, just to play with. Nut in the end I will need to stream massive videos, which are at this time only QT progressive downloads.

            I would love to stream just like dvd's on my server created by Encore CS4, but can't save the streams to anything anywhere. it won't let me write in the proper address of the server and only works in the browse mode, I can open the server route via SSH look and upload the files, but that's about it. There is very little as far as instructions with either the Adobe Streaming Media Server or Encore CS4.

            I gladly hire someone for a few hours to resolve this issue.

              Have you tried contacting Adobe Tech Support?

                If FTP still doesnt work for you, please try uploading videos to FTP server without using Encore (try windows FTP or a FTP client). If you cannot upload videos anyway, the problem could be with FTP server configuration.

                 

                Following are the steps to setup your streaming server. (Steps are for Microsoft IIS FTP server on WinXP. You can use another server also)

                 

                1. You have to install a Flash Media Server 3.5 and a FTP server for this. FMS 3.5 free developer edition can be downloaded from www.adobe.com
                2. Install IIS on winXP from Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (You may need a windowsXP installation DVD)
                3. Configure FTP server to point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod\media" folder
                    (FTP server can be configured from IIS window in Control Panel > Administrative Tools> IIS. Right click Default FTP site > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Set Local Path to "FMS3\applications\vod\media\media" folder)
                4. Encore streaming script for the server will still point to "\Flash Media Server 3\applications\vod" and not to Media folder inside Vod. (For example, if FMS server name is amgupta, FLV streaming location will be "rtmp://{FMServerName}/vod/" 
                5. Encore streaming script should be updated at 2 places with the new server names. ("rtmp://FMSservername/vod/flv:" and ftp://FTPservername ). The script is located at "X\Adobe Encore CS4\Required\flashExportScript\localFMS.jsx" where X is the install location of Encore CS4)

                 

                Hope this works.
