NOTE: This thread was started in the flash pro forum:

Hello there,

I have started a stream from Flash media encoder to flash media server. According to my encoder, it should be located at: "rtmp://localhost/live" and is called livestream.

In the Flash  software I try and set the source of FLVPlayback component to "rtmp://localhost/live/livestream", and I get this error: "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound : Adobe Flash tried to play a live or recorded stream that does not exist. Source can't be found.". Both the server and encoder is runnind and I am encoding.

Too, when I try and open the html with the stream in a browser, nothing appears.

What should I check?

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Marius

    First of all "isLive" property in FLVPlayback is set to "true" ? That property needs to be true in order to playback livestreams.

    Yes it is.

    I think the problem is that the stream is not found at the location specified (my guess). How should I continue to investigate?

    Thanks.

    What's wrong with my thread, i am sure the resolution to the problem is really simple? I am just a newbie.

    I would be really pleased if someone could tell me what information you require to suggest more resolutions.

    Thank you for your time.

    Kind regards,

    Marius
