Question

How do I create a FMS URL?

I am trying to encode and stream live video. I have downloaded both the Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. To complete the process of streaming video, it appears that I need to obtain a "flash media server URL address" which is called "RTMP" on the encoder page. Where can I find this? Is this something that can be downloaded, or do I have to purchase this from a partner like Level 3 communications, AT&T, etc.? Any information on this would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    Really quite simple you see...you have all the components per your post...the URL you are looking for is the FMS server itself's network address....if you run the Flash Encoder on the same server as the FMS, then the URL is simply rtmp://localhost/live

    You place this in the Flash encoder "Stream to Flash Media Server" URL area and name your stream anything you like, make sure your FMS is running obviously and hit connect and start on the Flash encoder...assuming you have a video source attached that Flash encoder can see, you're good to go....you will use the same  stream name in the Flash player and point the Flash player at rtmp://<yourFMSserverWANsideIP>/live

    That's it except you must open port 1935 (default port for FMS RTMP) on your router/firewall to be seen outside your LAN...

    This example is for live streaming...

    Have fun
