F4V Play in Media Server 3

I am wondering if F4V files play through Flash Media Server 3. I have FLV playing fine but cannot get F4V files to play. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    use following FLV playback URL (to be used with any FLVPlayback component based player including sample vod player):

    for a file myfile.f4v placed in applications/vod/media/:

    rtmp://IP/VOD/mp4:myFile.f4v

    I hope this helps.

    After a bit more looking, I'm not sure that FMS 3 will support this but 3.5 will. It doesn't look too promising for 3.0.

    How do I apply that to the rtmp://IP/VOD/Filename?

    Not sure if this is the issue, but did you put "f4v" in front of the video path and as the extension. I know you need to do this with mp4 files but not with flv files. I believe it is the same with f4v.

    Try something like this:
    ns.play("f4v:mymoviename.f4v");

    Hope that helps.
