Hi,

I'm recording a stream from a webcam as an f4v file using FMS 3.5.  The file is created in the live folder, and i can stream it back to the client no problem, however when I try to play the file in Adobe Media Player (or anything else) it won't play.  I've used the f4v post processor which claims to run successfully, but with no joy.  Any ideas?

    Couple of questions here,

    How are you publishing to FMS?

    What is the audio/ video codec used?

    Hi,

    I'm publishing with Flash Player using netstream.publish("mp4:filename.f4v","record").  the file is created no problem, and I can play it back with netstream.play, but not in any other application.

    Maybe the stream is never getting closed? An active stream can still be watched from the beginning while streaming off the FMS, but if the file is never closed, most external players see it as an incomplete file and playback fails.
