Does VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer Objects can stream from VOD folder only?

I am working with FMS-3.5. I wish to create a rtmp video player. I am using VideoDisplay object for this purpose.

When I provide the "source" value to videoDisplay object like "rtmp://192.168.17.94/vod/flv:sample" or "rtmp://192.168.17.94/vod/mp4:vc88852-4.mp4" it works fine as the videos are in vod folder.

But when the videos are not in Vod folder then it does not play the videos.

I tried this as well "rtmp://fmsexamples.adobe.com/vod/mp4:_cs4promo_1000.f4v" and it played fine because its on vod.

But path like "rtmp://s3qgf9ppeu7apb.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/flv:sample" does not play at all.

(Note: the above path plays fine with flvPlayer tool but not with my VideoDisplay object.)

I am unable break this problem. Please help.

Thanks,

Sahil.

    Hey Sahil,

    What I meant was: The VOD application is different from other applications in that the content for VOD is stored in applications/vod/media.

    The playback is possible because this location is specified in fms.ini

    For other user-created applications, it is different.

    Example: If you create an application folder, lets say 'test'. Then you will have to store your content under applications/test/streams/_definst_

    Let me know if it works out.

    Thanks,

    Shiven

    Hi,

    Can you please confirm the location of the physical media files on the server?

    Hi Shiven,

    Please excuse if I have misunderstood your reply,

    By confirmation of physical media file do you mean to confirm that the file is there on the location or not? Or you mean something else?

    The file is present at that location thats for sure because it runs using the flvPlayer tool.

    Thanks,

    Sahil.
