Help on FMS2 streaming.

if you're application closes within seconds after starting up, that most likely means there is a syntax error in the main.asc. Post your code and I can help pinpoint the issue.

Guys,

I am following your great thread, and I am wondering how do you make it work on.... Windows?

Here is what the directions do not say, and how I got it to work:

Running fmsmaster directly without the start-up script showed me an error message about a missing library. I did not see this message anywhere until I did this.

You can then search for the lib on Redhat's site and will find nothing. Instead, do an "up2date firefox"

Yes, install firefox and the 50000 other things that come with it. Now copy all of the libs from the installed firefox path to /lib/

Flash now works.

I am in the same boat, so answering this would help me as well.

Just installed on RHEL4, can't figure out how to stream.

Perhaps this is totally wrong, but here is what I tried:
1. created a dir named test01 under applications.
2. put a main.asc file in test01 (this file was generated by dreamweaver)
3. created test01/streams
4. created test01/streams/instance01
5. put test01.flv file in instance01
6. Loaded the admin console, found test01 in the application list, clicked to start an instance named instance01.
7. As soon as I hit 'enter' to submit the instance name, the instance just goes away and the list is empty again. No error messages.

What I really want to do is stream a video. That is all.

Can I have a directory where steaming videos go, and I can just upload more and more to that directory and have them immediately become available? Do I need an "application" for this or am I going about it all wrong? Is there any good documentation on this?
