Question

Can we set VOD directory somewhere else?

Is there a way for me to set the default VOD directory from:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3\samples\applications\vod

To:
c:\Inetpub\vhosts\mydomain.com\httpdocs\files

This is because all of my user loaded FLV files are located at c:\Inetpub path instead of c:\Program Files\Adobe.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Teng

Everything seems just fine to me; maybe you just need to make sure that the place(Application.xml) where you made changes is actually the one which is being read by FMS.
It is a possibility that VOD app is being loaded from some other(default?) location.

Have you deleted the older <Streams> entry from applications/vod/Application.xml ? if not, then multiple entries interfere in FMS 3 and only one of them is enabled.

Hi
actually FMS is running as a local system account. So, change its log on account to one which has network access. Go to run-> services.msc.
open the properties for flash media server service & flash media administrator service and change the log on account.

When connecting FMS to a Network Drive in Windows:

The FMS service must have permission to read the network drive. Generally, FMS as a system service does not have permissions to read network drives. You can create a user in Computer Management > Groups and Users that matches the permissions required of the networked drive.

Keep in mind that you must also ensure read rights on the networked drive. You can do this by editing the folder Properties>Sharing Tab>Permissions on the remote (network shared) computer/server. You may want to create a user just for this purpose in Computer Management.

In the 'fms.inii' file, make sure your settings are correct:

VOD_DIR = \\<name of networked computer>\<name of shared folder>
such as: VOD_DIR = \\192.169.0.100\streams or VOD_DIR = \\www.mywebsite.com\streams

You can determine the name of the networked drive by right-clicking the Shared Folder on the remote server/computer: Properties>Sharing Tab. The name of the shared resource appears right there.

As stated above by other fine contributors to this thread, your VOD link will be:
eg: rtmp://www.mywebsite.com/vod/mp4:FallSemester/ClassInterviews/JohnBoy.mp4. Check the file structure on the remote (networked) directory for your exact location.

Hope this helps. This thread helped me!
