Hi,

I installed FMS about a year ago, and realized that it broadcasts videos in "real time", just the point where the video is, without a "progressive display and download".

Maybe there is a mode in FMS that makes it work in "progressive display and download" way in HTTTP connections, just like youtube or any other tube, so, it will be downloading the rest of a video, while playing its previous part. If there is such a mode please let me know how to switch to it.

Thank you.

    Any specific reason why you want progressive download over RTMP Streaming - progressive download is not smart way of delivering video. Its always better to go RTMP Streaming or HTTP Streaming.

    Anyways to answer your question - you dont need to do anythign special for progressive download - if you have installed Apache with FMS - you can just place your VOD content in webroot folder and you are good to go. You just need to use uri like "http://serverip/<filename>.<ext>" for progresively downloading it.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I just want it to act like youtube, I thought they used progressive display and download..., I thought that RTMP does not download anything, but plays only what happening in real time...

    By the way, FMS plays .FLV files, right?
