Applications and folders on FMS

Hi!

I installed the developer version and now have everything set up and working, But I have a question regarding the application folder. A few other people here have had similar problems but non of the posts I found could answer my question.

I want to organize things in the application folder but I am unable to make it work with subdirectorys to my app folder.

Inside the application folder I have something like this:

applications

    otherAppsFolder

     myAppFolder

          myAppSubFolder

               main.asc

               streams

                    _definst_

                         myMP4video.mov

I can't get this to play:

rtmp://myDomain/myAppFolder/myAppSubFolder/mp4:myMP4video.mov

But if I remove the "MyAppSubFolder" and place its content inside the "myAppFolder" this works:

rtmp://myDomain/myAppFolder/mp4:myMP4video.mov

What can I do to better organize things in subfolders within the applications folder?

Thanks

    Correct answer

    You can place files wherever you want (doesn't even have to be within the FMS application directory structure). You just need to configure virtual directories to suit your needs

    See the docs on configuring content storage:

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashmediaserver/3.0/docs/help.html?content=03_configtasks_37.html

    main.asc needs to be at the application root, but you can load other asc files from any location (using the load() statement within main.asc)

    Hi,

    Could you please explain to me how you manage to get your video to play with FMS sever and working for you. You could send your message to chiefody@charter.net. In my case I do not have server as win 2003 or anything like that, however, I am using Windows Xp Pro IIS Server, FMS Server and the default Apache Server as my servers and I also designed the videoplaylist from Lisa Larson Kelly tutorial which looks good. It will show up and buffer will run none stop but the video and image will not load at all.

    Please help me if you know what to do. If any one also knows how i could fix this problem please contact me as well. Every little help is great.

    Thanks.

    Best regards.

    According to the latest requirements your setup is not listed. That might be the reason:

    OK, so I can't organize my videos within the application folder. If all my videos, in a given application, have the same name I'm forced to rename them before putting them into the application? I have a dynamic setup to add videos. They all have the same name and I was hoping to seperate them using different folders.

    Damn

    No, it didn't work!

    Is it possible to organize applications in subfolders within the applicationfolder on FMS?

    A "no" would be fine. An explanation and "howto" in case "yes" even better

    PS! Thanks mr Calmchessplayer for your reply.

    So, just by putting main.asc in the myAppSubfolder AND the myAppFolder I can organize things the way I posted before?

    I'll give it a try....

    Thanks
