Introduction to Streaming Media Service System (AMS) software

AMS is developed in C++, using an efficient IOCP model on the Windows platform, and a high-performance Epoll model on the Linux platform, allowing a single server to easily support more than 3,000 concurrent user accesses. The cross-platform design enables AMS to run in Windows, Linux, Android and other systems, as well as in embedded arm-Linux. The customized version of ams can run on any recording host, video conferencing host, or router, making it convenient for users to do secondary development and embedded applications.

Main features of Streaming Media Service System (AMS)

​ 1. Support operating systems such as Windows/Linux based on PC architecture, support running under arm-Linux, and support running on the android platform;

​​ 2. It adopts an open streaming media protocol and can be connected with mainstream systems. It supports at least three methods of RTMP push, RTMP pull, and RTSP pull to obtain live streams. It also supports multicasting of the obtained live streams according to TS. Or unicast, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, TS OVER HTTP, FLV OVER HTTP and other standard streaming media protocols for external live broadcast forwarding;

3. Supports streaming extension, which can pull WMV live streams from WMS service servers, as well as standard or non-standard live streams from other third-party streaming media servers. Supports re-encoding the pulled live stream before forwarding, and can distribute the pulled live stream according to multiple resolutions and multiple bit rates to meet the needs of viewing on multiple platforms;

4. AMS supports live broadcast in the replay mode. When the replay mode is used for live broadcast, no matter whether it is a mobile phone/tablet or PC, you can replay it at any time while watching the live broadcast. AMS's support for replay is completed on the server side. There is no need to download a specific playback plug-in or use a specific player, just through flash;

5. It supports recording, can be scheduled or manually recorded, can record MP4 or FLV format files, and provides a variety of recording methods, including manual recording, scheduled recording, automatic recording when there is a live stream, etc. When recording, it supports two methods of generating new files or appending files, and supports recording files exceeding 4G;

​​ 6. A single server supports more than 3,000 concurrent users, and the live broadcast delay is less than 1 second;

7. Supports RTMP forwarding function, which can forward live streams on AMS to other AMS servers or third-party RTMP servers, such as RED5, FMS, and WOWZA streaming media servers;

8. Supports multi-terminal access such as PC/mobile phone/tablet. Whether it is windows, Linux, Android or IOS systems, there is no need to download plug-ins when accessing the live broadcast, and you can watch directly;

Quick installation of AMS in Windows environment

If you downloaded the decompressed version, after decompressing, AokuMediaServer.exe in the execution directory can enter the debugging running mode.

If you downloaded the installation version, execute Setup, and the AMS service manager will automatically pop up after installation. You can install AMS as a service through the manager. You can also find AokuMediaServer.exe in the installation directory and run it in debugging mode.

[Note]:

1. Please do not put AMS in the Chinese directory to avoid running errors;

​ ​ 2. Please ensure that the current user has executable and writable permissions;

【Run in debug mode】

This mode is suitable for debugging. Enter the console command line window and execute AokuMediaServer.exe. The following dos window box will be displayed. The log is displayed directly on the screen. Do not close the window. At this time, AMS will start normally.

【Normal working mode】

After AMS debugging runs normally, we can run AokuMediaServer as service mode and open the service manager AokuMediaManager.exe, as shown below:

Click "Install Service" button to install the AMS service into the system service. If there is an error here, please confirm whether the service main program (AokuMService.exe) has been isolated and deleted by the 360 firewall on your computer. Please exit the 360 anti-virus or firewall, or add AokuMService.exe and AokuMediaServer.exe to the white list.

After the service is installed, click the "Open" button. If AMS is running as a service, the service will automatically restart after the computer is restarted.

【Special Attention】

You can only choose between debugging and running as a service. Otherwise, the port will be occupied.

AMS has started normally. By default, after AMS is started, you can enter the AMS management background through port 9001. The default user name is admin and the password is 123456, as shown below:

After normal startup, you can create a live broadcast channel. You can create a live broadcast channel in push mode according to your situation (if you have an encoder, you can push out the rtmp stream, or you can use obs, FME and other software to push the stream), and you can create a live broadcast channel in pull mode (you have an rtsp stream address that can be watched through vlc, or a udp stream address)

Streaming Media Service System (AMS) applicable scenarios

AMS is suitable for various occasions of network audio and video applications. It can be used independently as a live broadcast on-demand platform, or it can be embedded into various user application platforms to provide customers with audio and video core support. Unlike other products that provide cloud services and rent them to customers, AMS is an audio and video system installed on the internal server of the enterprise. The enterprise has absolute control over AMS.

AMS is not a panacea, it just provides a set of software solutions. If you have your own local area network or your own server (it can be a cloud server) and hope to deploy your own streaming media application system on the service, then AMS is suitable for you. If you only have a Web website built on a virtual host and do not have other hosts with sufficient bandwidth, and want to implement live broadcast or on-demand services, then AMS is not suitable for you. It is recommended that you use LeTV Cloud or upload the program to Youku Tudou.
