Question

Can a DVR player play from the vod folder?

I've setup a simple DVR player using the DVRCast application and Adobe FLVPlayback 2.5 from Adobe tools. I'm able to use it to play a recorded live stream which is recorded by Flash Media Live Encoder.

I'm wandering if I can now use the DVR player to play a video within the vod application?

To start with I just want to copy the f4v file created by Live Encoder to the vod directory and then use the DVR player to play it.

    Yes it can, just set isDVR and isLive to false and then try.

    Can it still play from the vod folder with isDVR set to true?

    What I'm trying to achieve is have a f4v file on a remote PC which grows in the same way a DVR record does. Then I want to use a DVR player to play this f4v file.

    I suggested the vod folder as you can set this to reference media on a remote PC (I realise you can do this with any app but vod is simple). I've tried things like creating a streams\_definst_\ folder in the vod folder and storing my f4v file in there, but with no luck.

    To put this another way, in Flash Media Live Encoder instead of selecting Stream to Flash Media Server, I select Save to File and save the file in my vod directory. Could I now play this "live" file using a DVR player?
