FMS Supporting video format??

Hi,

I am working on video player (FLVPlayBack for using cuepoint) in which streaming is performed through FMS (Flash Media Server). I have used the FLVPlayBack because I am using the cuepoints. Regarding this, I have some queries that I want to address:

1.     Using the FMS, I have streamed the .flv video but I am unable to stream the .f4v video. Below mentioned is the code structure I am using for this:

flvplayback.source = "rtmp://127.0.0.1/vod/sample.flv";

flvplayback.play();

2.     Could you please suggest that whether FMS supports both of the .flv and .f4v format?

Please have a look at the above queries and revert back to me.

Thanks,

Dhaval Kumar

Yes, FMS supports both flv and f4v formats. The source property of your FLVPlayback component can be set to the URL to an FLV, F4V, or to an XML file that describes how to play the video.

Also remember, that f4v or mp4 streams are played with the prefix of 'mp4:'. So if you need to specify a f4v file in source, url will be something like - "rtmp://127.0.0.1/vod/mp4:sample.f4v".
