Flash Media Server 4
VideoAutoBufferReadSize
Located in the
Playback
container.
The server caches F4V/MP4 video, audio, and other data in memory. Caching data allows the server to make fewer
disk reads and to perform better. Each data type (audio, video, and other) has its own cache. You can tune the size of
each cache, depending on the type of content you are delivering, to achieve better disk performance. For example, if
you are delivering audio-only content, increase the
AudioAutoBufferReadSize
buffer, and decrease the
VideoAutoBufferReadSize
buffer.
The minimum size is 1024 bytes. The default value is 153600 bytes.
Users.xml file
The Users.xm file is located at the root level of the
RootInstall
/conf directory. Edit this file to identify Flash Media
Server administrators and set their access permissions. Edit this file to set permissions for Administration API calls to
Flash Media Administration Server.
To see the element structure and default values, see the Users.xml file installed with Flash Media Server in the
RootInstall
/conf/ directory.
AdminServer
Container element.
The
HttpCommands
container nested within the
AdminServer
container configures the access level to Flash Media
Administration Server.
The Administration Service is separate from Flash Media Server. When administrators use the Administration
Console to connect to Flash Media Server, they are connecting to Flash Media Administration Server, which in turn
connects to the server.
Contained elements
HTTPCommands
Allow (HTTPCommands)
Lists the Flash Media Administration Server commands that the administrator can access using HTTP. You can
authorize an administrator to use multiple HTTP commands for access by creating a comma-separated list of the
commands. The value
All
authorizes the administrator to use all HTTP commands. However, Adobe does not
recommend this usage as it creates a security risk.
