greetings all,

i've bult a video player that has a dynamic playlist (via xml)
i have loaded the FMS3 on my local computer and i'm trying to test a rtmp stream..
i keep getting this Error opening URL 'rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:480p.mov'

the player will play any and all http video files from my local drive or web server.

i've tried AS.org fixes
-Security.allowDomain("rtmp://localhost/vod/");

- crossdomain.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>

and
-Access network only

no luck

i'm not sure what's going on with the RTMP...
any advice or leads in solving this would help.

thanks

    ya it's all local so it dosn't even go out to the network..

    it'll load any video on the local drive with a direct path
    video1.mov

    and it will load video on the network with a http addy
    www.videosource/video1.mov

    i just wont load any rtmp

    i've tried both 'rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:480p.mov'

    and

    a video on our fms3 server URL 'rtmp://fms.addy/vod/mp4:480p.mov'

    i keep getting this damn error
    Error opening URL 'rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:480p.mov'

    i've tested both the above videos with the FMS3 app_vod test.html
    and they play fine.

    i 'm feeling lost at this point.

    Are you using a linksys router? I setup a live streaming camera on my computer (its encoding and serving), and I went to another computer in my office and couldn't see it.

    All of my friends around the country could see it though. Figured out that linksys routers wont allow (or can't) allow you to see your own stream or files you have up on a server.

    We have a T1 connection and cable modem so I hooked my computer up to the T1 connection and it worked, I could see my stream.



    ***EDIT***
    I just realized that you are calling "localhost" so the signal wouldnt even go out on the network. When testing my setup I was able to get the video stream to show up when it called that.

    matrix_bluelime,

    I seem to have the opposite problem as you describe. I am able to view my stream from any computer on the LAN, but it is not visible over the web. Do I need a crossdomain.xml? Or do I need to modify the page that contains the stream? Or do I need to open up another port? Or do you have any other suggestions?
