Here are some quick steps to setting up an origin-edge Flash media server. Specifically these steps are for setting up a edge on a origin machine so that there is both on 1 machine that can have some value for certain setups and performance management.

Note: line numbers are off of default config files.

Setting Up a Origin/Edge on a single machine

• Duplicate the _defaultRoot_ dir in the conf dir and rename
(exp: “edge”)

In the Edge’s Adaptor.xml:
• (Line 42) Change the name attribute value of the Adaptor> HostPortList>HostPort tag to something unique e.g. edge2
• (Line 42) Change the ctl_channel value to a different value: e.g. 19351
• (Line 42) Set the Adaptor> HostPortList>HostPort value to a different IP and/or Port: e.g. :1936 (Don’t forget the colon)

In your Edge’s VHost.xml:
• (Line 127) Set the Proxy>Mode to remote: remote
• (Line 139) Set Proxy>Anonymous to true: true
• (Line208 ) Set the RouteEntry: *:1936;*:1935

Thanks to Sarge for the help.

Adobe has announced the next iteration of its Digital Rights Management platform for the Flash video realm. What used to be called the Flash Media Rights Management Server (FMRMS) is now called Flash Access 2.0. The big change is it will now offer the ability to play DRM protected content via the upcoming Flash Player release – thus eliminating the requirement as it was i the past for AIR to work with DRM content. Good news!

Just wanted to drop you all a quick line to tell you that I’ll be speaking at the Adobe MAX conference next month in Los Angeles, CA during Oct 4-7. The topic I’ll be discussing is Video in the Enterprise and below is the description. Please check back to the Flash Media Server User Group here http://groups.adobe.com/posts/81ef708026 after the conference for any videos as well as any resources that can help you utilize Flash Video in your enterprise.

Learn how you can deploy video in Flash within your enterprise. This session will walk you through how you can support employee generated video, control access with LDAP and how to install, configure and customize the Adobe Flash Media Server within your network. The lab will focus on the specific challenges faced within large enterprises and implementing user authentication techniques using server side ActionScript. Step through the processes to deploy and discover the benefits of edge caching and other deployment techniques for high volume streaming using Flash Media Server within your network to publish live and recorded media.
