Hi

I just installed Flash Media Server 3.5 and was trying to verify my installation.

When I try to 'Verify progressive download over HTTP' as given in http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_InstallingFMS/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119ed5bf7c0-7ffc.html#WSe62f2d05c0a6af0a1afef98e11c79043cd5-7ffe i am able to 'View a sample video' on start screen but when i try 'View your own video' i get this message on the player "Connection Error. Please press Play to try again."

Please suggest whats wrong. Thanks

Can you tell me step-wise what are you doing. I mean which file are you placing , what is file name, what type and what is URI you are using in VideoPlayer.html while connecting.

There is a file sample2_1000kbps.f4v at the location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\webroot\vod. This sample file came along with the installation.

I open the player by clicking videoplayer.html which is available at the location C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\samples\videoPlayer and enter the URL http://localhost/vod/sample2_1000kbps.f4v

This video's link also appears at the right hand side of the player which says SELECT A VIDEO FROM THE LIST BELOW under the SOURCE: /webroot/vod section as sample2_1000kbps.f4v (http)

Both ways i get the same error Connection error. Please press Play to try again

Your URI is wrong: it should be http://localhost/vod/mp4:sample2_1000kbps.f4v. Try this uri and let me know if you still cannot play it.
