Help with setup for live streaming
I'm trying to set up a live stream that's viewable on my
website.
I have two machines behind a router with one being the webserver running FMS (windows 2003) and the other being the encoding machine running FME (windows XP).
When I set up FME, I put in the following as the url to the server "rtmp:// computernamewebserver/live/" with the session name being "test".
This has no problems connecting to FMS .
On the webserver/FMS, I created a *.swf file which basically contains just a flvplayback object with the URL set to "rtmp:// computernamewebserver/live/test".
Now after I publish this, I can view the video via the published html file from within the network, but when I try outside of the network, it doesn't work and I get no error messages so it's hard to debug.
I have port 80 forwarded to my webserver/FMS machine. I tried forwarding port 1935 to both my webserver/FMS machine and the FME machine with no success.
I've tried playing around with the rtmp URL by changing the computernamewebserver from the internally recognized computer name to the externally recognized URL to my webserver.
The solution is probably something simple, but since this is my first attempt at flash streaming, it's not obvious to me and I've tried searching for the solution. My suspicion is that there's some config file somewhere that I need to config that I don't know about or maybe it's some port issue. Neither of my machines have windows based firewall disabled.
