Question

Connection error

Over the last couple of days I've set up FMS3 on a Server 2003 machine and an XP machine. XP works perfectly (as far as I can tell). However, on the Server 2003 machine, although I can stream video on localhost using the samples provided, I can't connect from outside. The sample page gives a 'connection error' message.

In the administration console, View Applications > Live Log givces the following:
quote:
Found wildcard (*) entry: disabling authentication for HTML file domains
Found wildcard (*) entry: disabling authentication for SWF file domains

whereas it is blank on my working XP machine. A Google search gives only a couple of results that appear to be related, but nothing that I understand.

Does anyone know what this error message means, and whether it is related to the connection error problem? And how to solve it?

    I am also having a similar issue.
    I have FMS3 set up on my laptop running under Vista, and have a dynamic DNS poited to my laptop so I can access it from the web.

    If I run the local samples they work fine, however when I try to connect remotely to the server I get nothing.
    As far as I can tell everything is set up correctly and I know my dns is fine.

    We are seriously considering buying the interactive server so I am hoping for some good support from Adobe to answer this issue.
    If I get anything I will let you know.

    "Found wildcard (*) entry: disabling authentication for HTML file domains"

    - Above is not an error but just a default log command which says the application is not performing authentication on clients.

    "However, on the Server 2003 machine, although I can stream video on localhost using the samples provided, I can't connect from outside. The sample page gives a 'connection error' message."

    - connection error comes with FLVPlayback component when
    - FMS is unreachable OR there is no FMS on the machine rtmp URL provided (rtmp://fms-machine-ip/vod/myfile)
    - FMS is present but target stream is not present (Or wrong stream name /format)
    - Only while playing H.264 encoded stream, if the client flashplayer is not updated.

    I guess you are using sample client swfs (vodtest.swf/livetest.swf). Make a check at the RTMP URL in SWF's UI when you press play.
    The default is for localhost. while playing from remote computer you need to replace localhost with FMS IP/hostname.

    I've got the URL right. As I said, it works fine when installed on my XP machine - I can stream from a remote computer. It's just the Server 2003 machine that's behaving oddly.
