Hi All,

Requirement: I have 2 questions to ask.

Q1. I have 2 web servers, 1 FMS server, 1 File Server. Files when uploaded, will be stored in File Server. I need to play the file from client system, please let what configurations shall i make so that the request will be sent tot FMS from Client and From FMS to File Server and back to FMS and then to client as a stream.

scenario: I want to play a video. Request will go sent from client to FMS Server, FMS server will fetch the file from File Server and Stream it to the client.

Q2. In Flash PLayer, I need to play all types of videos including the videos which will require conversion to .FLV.

    If the file server is on the same local network as the FMS server, you can configure a virtual path to the file server drive:

    For file conversion/transcoding, I've used FFMPEG and PHP with good results. Adobe has a transcoding server (Flash Media Encoding Server), but there's no trial version available, so I've never tried it and can't comment on how well it works.

    Another alternative is on2's Flix publisher. It's a browser plugin that does transcoding on the client side. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it allows you to offload the transcoding task to the client... a feature I've always liked.
