fms 3.5 - automatically stream (mp4/swf/html) mp3

Question

We produce podcasts from Camtasia Relay. It can output the following to a file system (url/file path combination):

1) html/swf/mp4 and

2) mp3

The Camtasia Relay produces a link to the html file, which contains the swf which links to the mp4.

How can we natively stream these in our fms 3.5 server?

For example: In Internet explorer, would the link be rtmp://server/pathtofile.html -- which has the swf pointing to the mp4?

and same fo the mp3: rtmp://server/filename.mp3 -- ??

If the Camtasia Relay product creates the URL as http:// -- Does this automatically imply a progressive download by the http protocol? And by association, the url needs to be re-written to stream it, versus progressive download?

The swf should contain the link to the mp4 using the rtmp protocol.

e.g. rtmp://stream.example.com/vod/mp4:file.mp4

The swf gets this value via two ways: it's either hardcoded into the swf or it is passed to it via an xml file.

I'm not too familiar with Camtasia so can't comment on if this is possible, but ideally you would configure this in the .fla for your application.

And yes, I believe that it will use progressive download instead of streaming in your example.
