Question
FMS3 Newb
Hello All,
I've been reading this huge let of documentation, and I'm kind of stuck. I can't get content to list inside the admin console. Heres what I have so far:
I was able to install FMS3 on my redhat linux AS3 box. I installed to a custom directory (/usr/local/adobe/fms)
I need to keep my content in a different directory (/stream_media)
I've tried updating <installdir>/conf/fms.ini and changed the default VOD_DIR variable to /stream_media/fms/vod and restarted my services (fms and adminconsole) with <installdir>/fmsmgr app.
I'm not sure how content is supposed to show up in the admin console. If I create a new instance (in admin server) select VOD then give it a name, I was expecting a directory to be created in /stream_media/fms/vod/Something, but nothing shows up. If I manually create a directory there, place the bikes.flv file in there and refresh (open and close) the admin console still no content shows up.
I think the Bigger issue is I have Zero FMS kung fu, so if anyone could point out a class I can take or some books that I can read that would be helpful too.
Also to help wrap my head around how this works, does this model seem reasonable...
Web Browser > Web page with SWF video player > FLV/MP4/MP3 on the FMS3
From what I understand is I have to write (or find a free one) a SWF Video Player to embed in my webpages, which I can pass a rtmp link to different videos? But at the very least I need to be able to see my content in the admin console.
Thanks
Jake
