Question

Dynamic Playlist for Streaming Video Errors

I'm using Lisa Larson's tutorial on the adobe website to create a dynamic playlist from an XML file to work with out FMS server. After playing around with it for an hour I finally got it to connect to the FMS and generate the thumbs but it won't stream any of the videos. When I click on the list item the video player comes up but doesn't load a video. Any ideas? The live log in the FMS console is giving me this error: " Error: command msg sent before client connection has been accepted."

This is the link for the tutorial

    Same here. Tutorial isn't working with me. All I get are the thumbnails.

    I will 2nd this (3rd it?) and say that I have the same problem.

    I just used the server on Windows (as opposed to linux) and it worked great. So the issue, at least for me and my issue (could see the thumbnails, couldn't play the video) was windows vs. Linux. I guess the linux version doesn't work with this exact script. Now to put together something of my own to test to see if the linux version works right.

    its not a linux vs. windows problem, i'm running windows and get the exact same message and see the dynamic thumbs but no streaming, no client side code was modified except the xml list.

    Hi,

    I have faced a similar problem. The problem could be in the main.asc file placed in the appliactions\videosource folder. Try replacing the main.asc file with the one at the following location of your Flash8 installation.

    c:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and Tutorials\Samples\Components\FLVPlayback\

    This worked out for me.

    Regards,
