Yes, the day is finally here! Flash Media Server 3 and Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0 have been officially released.

Download Flash Media Server 3.5 (free developer version)

Download Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0 (FREE)

Flash Media Server 3.5 offers some powerful new features such as improved H.264 performance, “DVR” functionality, Dynamic Streaming, and HTTP delivery (Apache server built in). For more info, visit http://www.adobe.com/go/fms.

The licensing costs have stayed the same, at $4,500 for Flash Media Interactive Server and $999 for Flash Media Streaming Server. The Developer edition is still free, and allows 10 simultaneous connections (can be used for commercial deployments).

Flash Media Live Encoder has also been upgraded, with support for multiple bitrate encoding (to take advantage of Dynamic Streaming in FMS 3.5), an updated user interface, enhanced auto-adjust capabilities to accommodate fluctuation in your connection when encoding, and improved file and stream management including file “chunking”.

Big day for Flash media — happy downloading!

@Preston I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly… do you have FMLE 3 installed, or are you looking to download it?

Thank you.

its an FMS URL for Skype plugin like for H.264 on justin.tv only for webcam chats, or even recording H.264 video recorder….. Is there anything like that in the future for such programs?

Does FMLE support motion detect by itself?

No, FMLE doesn’t have built in motion detection, that logic needs to be built in ActionScript.

A quick question: does FMS or FMLE has anything to do with STB (set-top-boxes)? In other words does FMS/FMLE are deployed on IPTV’s STBs?
Thanks in advance

Flash Media Server (FMS) can deliver streams to STB, if it is running Flash Player. Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) is a Mac/Windows desktop encoding application that takes a video stream and sends it to FMS to be streamed to Flash Player clients. Neither FMS nor FMLE would actually run on a STB. They would be used on other platforms and servers to deliver content TO a STB.

Hope that helps clarify.

cheers,
