    It means that you need to add the domain name or IP of the server to the rtmp address. There are two ways of connecting to an application:

    Locally:

    rtmp:/myapp/myinst

    or Remotely:

    rtmp://www.whatever.com/myapp/myinst

    Hopefully that helps. I suspect that either the RTMP string is wrong or the service just isn't even running.
