Question

Cannot Play HTTP Sample Video and Dynamic Stream on IIS Default Website

Sorry if I repeat this IIS topic, I couldn't find the answer to my problem any where on the internet. I installed FMS Dev 3.5 on Win 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 enabled. I don't have any issue with port 80 Listening, I used the IP address 192.168.0.21 for my web application (IIS) and 192.168.0.22 for FMS (I only have one network card and port 1935 is open under firewall). I can play the sample videos (RTMP, HTTP, and Dynamic Stream) using the Flash Media Start Screen (or from the location C:\ Program Files\Adobe \Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot\index.html) without any problem.

I then modified the IIS Default Website to look at the "webroot" folder (C:\ Program Files\Adobe \Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot). From IE, I can access the default web site by enter http://192.168.0.21/index.html. The website loads up correctly, and the RTMP video is playing perfectly. However, if I click Play Video (HTTP) or Dynamic Stream (tab), I receive "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again." I look at the log file (access.01.log) and see the error log "Session disconnect ..."

The fms.ini file has the following setting:

VOD_COMMON_DIR = C:\ Program Files\Adobe \Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot\vod

VOD_DIR = C:\ Program Files\Adobe \Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media

ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935, 80

HTTPPROXY.HOST = 192.168.0.22

(Everything else is default to original setting)

The Adaptor.xml has the original settings.

I have been trying many different ways without any success; therefore, I decide to post this and see if anyone have any solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance.

    The proxy host setting needs a port. Try this:

    HTTPPROXY.HOST = 192.168.0.21:80

    Jay, thank you for your reply. I tried your way and still everything is the same, as described above. I even tried to reboot the server, instead of just stop/start the services.

    I captured the logs and attached with this post and hopefully someone will find something wrong.

    Thanks.

    It looks like you have FMS configured to bind to all IP's (I seem to have missed that yesterday). Try binding FMS to a specific IP:

    ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = 192.168.0.22:1935, 80

    HTTPPROXY.HOST = 192.168.0.21:80

    Anyone? I need to resolve this issue before move on to further testing and development.

    FYI: I try to also open port 80 and 1111 through firewall with no success. Even disable the firewall still not working.

    What I see is that the flash player from the IIS website can stream from rtmp://webroot/vod/xxx.flv and cannot progressively stream from ../vod/xxx.flv. Does this have something to do with how to access the video file through IIS website? I have read a couple posts regarding the MIME type, and I did what people are suggested by adding the FLV MIME type to Win 2003 Server (SP2) but no luck.

    Anyone with comment and suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
