I have a flash media server that I'm sucessfully using to stream .flv videos. Now I'm wondering how to set up an application on my FMS to stream live video using the new encoder.

I have the new encoder and the server - I just need some basic instructions on how to make the two work together to get a live stream working. The encoder is local and the FMS is at a colocation facility and I have remote access.

Cheers,
Jim

    Here's what works for me.

    I presume that in FME, you have specified a camera and have FME connected to FMS. In FME, I specify the folder (streamtest) and then specify a stream name (abc).

    In FMS, create an empty folder called "streamtest" in your apps folder.

    In Flash 8, drag out a video component and specify the stream thusly

    rtmp://(whatever your ip address is)/streamtest/abc

    Be sure that islive is set to true. Publish and upload to server.

    You should be able to see your fme stream in the video component if everything works.

    That's what I did. Hope it helps.
