Question

Connecting to rtmp stream from remote server

How does one connect FMS 4.5 to an rtmp stream sent from a Digital Rapids encoder located on a remote server? So, far AMS does not seem to "see" the stream even though the stream can be successfully sent off-site to UStream.  I am very new to AMS and am trying to learn it on the fly but the client wants it done yesterday.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Sorry but i am not getting your very clearly - if you need to pull the stream from another server - that another server needs to be AMS or server can take RTMP netconnection - basically you need to connect to that server via NetConnection API and then use Streams API. Just knowing the "rtmp" url is not good enough for you to pull the stream if you cannot connect to the server where encoder is publishing. But you can do one thing in this case - you can use ffmpeg to play back the stream if you know the URL for playback and send the same incoming stream to your FMS. I am not expert in ffmpeg but i vaguely remember this should be possible

Thanks for your reply, SE_0208. It turneed out to be a permissions issue. We needed to grant permission to the destination directory to allow the remote server to push the stream to it.
