Flash Media Server Administration API

Command line interface to Flash Media Server Administration API:

$ gem install fms-admin-api

$ fmsapi <method_name> --host=<fms host> [other params]

Just pick a method from the documentation and replace convention from camelCase to underscore_case (same for the parameters)

Example:

$ fmsapi reload_app --host=fms.example.com --auser=fms --apswd=secret --app_inst=live

You can use the ruby client directly on you code:

require 'fms'

client = FMS::Client.new(:host => 'fms.example.com',
                         :auser => 'fms',
                         :apswd => 'secret')  # you can use :port here, 1111 is default

now just call any method defined in the FMS Admin API:

client.reload_app(:app_inst => 'live/cam1')
client.get_apps(:force => true, :verbose => true)

just note that the methods name and parameters are used with ruby_default_notation instead of camelCase as documented.

The return value from all api method calls is a FMS::Response, on which you may want to call .to_xml to get a REXML::Document instance:

require 'rexml/xpath'

xml_resp = client.get_live_stream_stats(:app_inst => 'live', :stream => 'cam1').to_xml
puts REXML::XPath.first(xml_resp, '/result/data/publisher/name').text

there is also a to_s method on FMS::Response.

Take a look in the tests/ folder for more detailed specification.
