Question

Cannot use a Samba mapped drive as VOD_COMMON_DIR and VOD_DIR

Hi,

I'm trying to use Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5.3 on a WIndows 2008 Standard SP 2 with a network drive mapped as Z, pointing to a samba share.

I keep getting a Connection error while trying to view a rtmp file. I'm using the default example from the installation directory. I made the following changes in the files:

fms.ini

VOD_COMMON_DIR = z:\vod
VOD_DIR = z:\vod

the z:\vod directory is shared ad EVERYONE full control. (I can easily read and write on z:)

I've mapped the disk using Putty and port tunneling over ssh. I've tunneled port 139, 445 and 1935.


Where I'am wrong ?

Mant thanks,

Nicola.

    Can you just tell where is your VOD application present , is it in default applications directory or in Z:\ ?? Can you check in FMS logs say edge.00.loand see what kind of error its giving ?

    Again, nothing strange here.

    How can I have a more detailed logging of operation, e.g. the full path of the file it's trying to stream.

    Many thanks,

    Nicola

    Can you paste access.00.log entries.access.00.log would give you details about play event.

    You can moreover edit Logger.xml to include more details in your access logs. Just check <Events> and <Fields> tags under <Access> tag in Logger.xml
