Hello I am trying to set up Flash Media Server 3. I have tested the sample flv files and they work fine, but I have tried to stream my own flvs and they will not work. It says "connecting", "buffering", "playing" and just before it's about to play it stops.
Could this be the server or the flv. I have tried to play a few flv's but none will play.
Please Help
Thanks

    I found that I had to add this to frame 1 to get the built-in FLVPlayer to work with FMS3 out of the box:

    import fl.video.*;
    VideoPlayer.iNCManagerClass = fl.video.NCManagerNative;

    Note that this is a bit different than the instructions in the FMS3 manual online -- which have a typo and don't actually work. There has to be a period after the "video".

    Try checking the sanity for your FLV files with FLVCheck tool provided in FMS-installation-directory/tools.
