Hi guys, I have a total newbie question. I am trying to create a flash player to stream an on online Internet radio station using FMS. I chose FMS after being told that I need RTMP server to extract the metadata. Our radio audio is being encoded using a DJ interface called SAM Broadcaster. But for some reason, it does not have an option to send over the stream directly to a Flash Media Server. Only options are either IceCAST or ShoutCAST. Which leads me to my question. How should i setup the stream? Should it be Stream encoder>> IceCAST/SHOUTCast Server>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client. Or should I setup Stream Encoder>>Flash Media Server>>Flash Player Client? Shouldn't Flash Media Server be an alternative to IceCast or Shoutcast?  If that is the case, how do I send over the stream from SAM Broadcaster directly to Flash Media Server without restreaming through another streaming server? Anyone with SAM Broadcaster experience?

Thanks in advance

    What is output of SAM Broadcaster - can it give RTMP Stream out - if yes then you directly stream to FMS.

    Well, it outputs the encoded audio (aacplus, mp3 etc) to the server e.g. IceCast, Shoutcast. See below image . There is no option for an RTMP server. Which makes me wonder whether I should be sending the stream over to an IceCas/ShoutCast server then restream to the Flash server?
