FMS 3.5 - Wont play media from vod subfolder/subdirectory

Hi Guys,

I've spent like the past 5 days trying to get this to work as a client has given me 100GB of videos that are in subfolders.

For some reason I'm unable to play media from any subdirectory in vod.

All of the media & subfolders are here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media\

This works:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media\sample.mp4

Server: rtmp://localhost/vod/_definst_

Stream: mp4:sample.mp4

This doesn't work:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Server 3.5\applications\vod\media\subfolder\movie.mp4

Server: rtmp://localhost/vod/_definst_/subfolder/

Stream: mp4:movie.mp4

I've also tried as the server rtmp://localhost/vod/subfolder/ but it does not work.

I've also tried in the stream "mp4:subfolder/movie.mp4" that doesn't work either.

I'm pulling my hair out at this and my client is constantly phoning asking if Flash Media Server will work for his needs,

Can anyone advise me further on this issue?

Thanks

Hi ,

Thanks for using FMS 3.5

The URL will not look this way. It should be rtmp://localhostvod/_definst_ and stream name as mp4:<subfolder>/filename.mp4. Observe the place where the subdirectory is mentioned after the mp4: prefix in the file name.

Hope it works for you.,
