Question

Folder location of pre-recorded flv file

I have a pre-recorded flv file that I've placed in a sub-folder within the applications folder of Media Server. When I run my Flash movie within Flash or on my localhost using IIS, the Media Server Management Console shows my flv streaming. This only seems to work, though, if I also have the flv file in the same folder or sub-folder relative to my swf and html files and the contentPath perimeter of the on-stage video component points to this flv folder/sub-folder. Question: does the flv need to be in both these locations? The documentation is not clear about this.

    This makes me suspect that you're not actually connecting to FMS, but rather, just playing the progressive http video. If you leave the flv in the http directory (and remove the file from the fms directory) does it still play?

    If you want to connect to an FMS stream, your content path will be an rtmp location, not an http location. It will look something like this:

    rtmp://myfmsserver.com/myApplication/myVideo

    I don't use the prefab media components, so I don't know if it wants the .flv extension at the end of the url.
