Question

Issues when loading Flash Player from Local Domain

I have a webcam streaming to Flash Media Server via the Media Encoder. I have published the .swf file with the flash player and rtmp://99.999.999.999:1935/live/livestream address to my website on a hosted webserver.

When I am on another internet source, the player on my webpage loads and works fine. However when I load the webpage in a browser on the same network that has the Media Server and Webcam on it, the browser freezes up.

I need some help with a solution that will cause the rtmp:// address to switch to a local host address. Any suggestions.

    It would be more accurate if I said the Explorer browser is freezing or at least reducing speed to a incredibily slow crawl.

    The flash player I am using is embedded in my website (which is on a hosted web service, different from the computer running Flash Media Server.) I have tried pulling up the web page with the flash player on several different computers. When they are loading that page while using the same network as flash media server, they won't load.

    It is not certain computers I am trying to get to react differently. It is the webpage that is part of our restaurants website. We have several customers that try to pull up the webcam while they are setting in front of it.

    When you flash is freezing then it may be some other issue. Flash should not freeze. Make sure you're using recent Flash Plugin in your browser.

    Aren't you connecting to rtmp://127.0.0.1/ ??

    If you want certain computers on LAN to access it locally, you may use easy trick and modify hosts file. Search for hosts file and edit it with notepad like:

    my.flashserver.com 192.168.1.200

    This will change your DNS for just this machine and force client to connect to different IP.
