Introduction
Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) was a free live encoding software developed by Adobe for streaming audio and video over the internet. It supported RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) and HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and was commonly used for live broadcasts.
Create a CDN service for live streaming
You have the following two options. Create a CDN HTTP Live service or create a CDN Live service.
Create a CDN HTTP Live service with RTMP Push Publishing Point
Assume that your CDN HTTP Live service has the following properties. Please refer to Services/How-To.
- Server URL - rtmp://push-1.cdnsun.com/p6534287788
Create a CDN Live service with Push Publishing
Assume that your CDN Live service has the following properties. Please refer to Services/How-To.
- Server URL - rtmp://6534287788.publishstream.cdnsun.net/P6534287788
- Username - P6534287788
- Password - Kmx7s14We
Publish video stream to the CDN using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder
- Connect your video input devices (for example camera) to your computer and run Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder.
-
On the Encoding Options tab define your desired bitrate and make sure that H.264 is selected as output format as in the picture below.
-
On the right hand side enter your Server URL, e.g., rtmp://push-1.cdnsun.com/p6534287788 or rtmp://6534287788.publishstream.cdnsun.net/P6534287788 (depending on your CDN service type), to the FMS URL field, and choose and enter your desired stream name (mystream in this example) as in the picture below.
-
Click on the Connect button and in the case of CDN Live service enter your Username P6534287788 and Password Kmx7s14We as in the picture below.
- Click on the OK button.
- That's all.
Accessing your CDN video stream
The above will allow you to publish your stream through the CDN using mystream as the stream name. The resulting CDN stream will be accessible via the following URLs, assuming cdn.mycompany.com is the Service Domain of your CDN service.
CDN HTTP Live service
- HLS - https://cdn.mycompany.com/mystream/playlist.m3u8
CDN Live service
- RTMP - rtmp://cdn.mycompany.com/mystream
- HLS - https://cdn.mycompany.com/6534287788/_definst_/mystream/playlist.m3u8
