Hello. I have been trying to get my live feed up and running for friends but they are unale to view it. I have FMS 4 with FMLE 3.2 on Win7. Under the fms url i have 'rtmp://localhost/live' and Stream name is 'livestream'

I can view the stream just fine from my computer on which i am running both FMS and FMLE. but when i put the html file on my website, my friends just see the empty swfplayer. You can view it at http://tinyurl.com/5v7llo3. I was trying to figure out what the problem was so i copied the swf code 6 times with different settings but nothing worked. on my computer, only the first swf player works and im guessing that is because its localhost. Any help with this will be appreciated.

    I dont think if you are using localhost in your swf file then it would be able to fetch the stream from your fms server. You need to correctly use the domain name/ipaddress of your fms server, in case you are deploying your swf file to another web-server for hosting.

    Sorry i should have mentioned that i also moved the swf files on the server. i have 6 swf players embedded on the test page. i have used my current ip address and hostname but it still cannot be viewed. infact it seems that no one can reach my computer using http://x.x.x.x/test.jpg where test.jpg is in the webroot folder. i have disabled all my firewalls. what else can cause that to happen?
