Testing Flash Media Streaming—Live Streaming
Note Live streaming using Flash Media Streaming is a Release 2.2 feature.
Flash Media Streaming uses RTMP to stream live content by means of dynamic proxy. Configuration of
live or rebroadcast programs is not required. When the first client requests live streaming content, the
stream is created. There are no limits to the number of live streams other than the system load. Live
streaming uses distributed content routing to distribute streams across multiple Service Engines.
Step 1 Set up a Flash Media encoder. Enter the following information:
• FMS URL—Origin Server URL (Origin Server cannot be a CDS device.)
• Stream—Stream name for the client’s request
• Video—Choose VP6 or H.264
Step 2 Click Start to publish the stream to the Origin Server.
Step 3 In a web browser on the client PC, enter the URL rtmp://<edge SE IP address>/live/<publish stream
name>.
For example, if the URL was rtmp://Temp4.se.fmslive.com/live/livestream, Temp4 is the SE assigned
under the delivery service, the live directory indicates that it is a live stream, and livestream is the
published name on the Flash Media Encoder.
Step 4 On the Edge SE enter the show statistics flash-media-streaming command to view the Flash Media
Streaming statistics.
