Hello I am trying to get the Vod service working and have followed the documentation to a T but cannot get the page to stream or work. I am using IIS 6 and have copied the sample vod folder and renamed it modifed the fms.ini file and application.xml and put my .flv file in the media folder. When I go to run it from the browser and typing rtmp://localhost/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv I get page cannot be displayed. I have tried different ways like rtmp://localhost:1935/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv or using full machine name but nothing seems to work.

If I go to the test Vod player Item and browse to the .flv file it plays fine. Am I missing something here? I have tried to stop and start the services (IIS, FMS) with no luck. I also tried to go into the admin console and add the service just in case but that didnt seem to help. I have checked the files to make sure I didnt make a typo so I dont think that is it.

Many Thanks in advance for the help

    Are you able to open your HTML page (containing the player swf ) in the browser ? If not, you need to first achieve that. Check up with your IIS for because FMS is not yet involved. The RTMP URL is needed by the swf and it shouldn't be entered in the browser URL bar.

    Check up with your FMS3 documentations in Program Files/Flash Media Server 3/ documentations/ folder for more.

    From the URL:
    rtmp://localhost:1935/vod2/campaign_manager_movie.flv

    I guess that FMS is on the same machine where the browser has opened the page from IIS. If it is not so, you can try putting the IP address of the machine hosting the FMS in RTMP URL. apart from it I don;t se any reason why VOD shouldn't play (except in case you are trying to play H.264 file from older flash player (< 9.0.0.115)

    I have tried that and every other possible combination and don't understand why it wont work. It is true that I am trying to launch from the machine hosting the FMS service and I have tried from other machines. I am tempted to reload the application at this point. Do I need to do anything in the admin console?
