Hi,

I have a HD Camera streaming a live feed through FME 2.5 to FMS 3.0 using the
VP6 codec and it works fine.

I have now been trying to get the same stream running via H.264 and althogh
FME 2.5 connects to the FMS 3.0 server and the stream starts with FMS 3.0
reporting the stream no problem.

The Client application crerated with Captivate 3 using Flash Player 9 for
publishing no longer dispays the video.

Switching back to VP6 works again.

Any one have any idea what I should be doing?

Cheers

Did you update your FMS to 3.0.2? There was a bug in the 3.0.1 release that
caused problems with H.264.

Also, make sure your viewers are equipped with flashplayer 9.0.24 or better...
earlier versions didn't properly support H.264

Thanks for the quick response, I checked with our Admin guys and it indeed
3.0.0.

So I will update immediately.

Is there a big advantage to using H.264 over VP6 for live streaming?

I have another forum question that went unanswered relating to this issue
asking, what are the required recommended settings for both FMS 3 and FME 2.5
to reduce any lagging in video on a 1gb LAN which should not have any?

cheers again

Updated the FMS server to 3.0.2 and it does indeed work with H.264.

I will have to play with the settings, as it seems to lag more than with VP6
