Question

FMS3 - VOD sample not working on RHEL 4

Hi,

I am running the Flash Media Server 3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

After installing the server, I tried the sample Video On Demand application remotely (vodtest.html).

It does not work. I get a "connectionError"

The server is running. I can check that in the web based Admin console. I do not see the number of connected clients increase at all. It stays at zero.

The server does not have the firewall enabled.

How do I test the sample vodtest.html remotely? I do not want to use localhost. Even when I tried localhost, that did not work either.

What url do I put in my browser?

Thanks

    1. Restart the FMS service using this command: service fms restart
    2. Make sure no other service is running on the port 1935 (this is the port that FMS uses)
    3. Open vodtest.html on the localhost first, and just click the Go button. The recorded stream should be played back successfully
    4. The URL to be given in the vodtest.html should be like this: rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv and if its mp4, then rtmp://localhost/vpd/mp4:filename.mp4
    5. For testing remotely, make sure that the RHEL machine is reachable, and use IP address in case you are getting any connection problems with the hostname
    6. The URL this time in the vodtest.html would simply be rtmp://<server-ip/name>/vod/sample.flv
