Question

Make my streams come true

I want to have a media library of videos to stream. I downloaded a sample project from Adobe and ran it on my local machine. The application runs fine on my machine and I'm a happy camper.

I post the same project/files onto a a Windows 2000 server. FMS is installed on the C drive while the website stuff is posted on the D drive. For the meantime, I kept everything simple by putting my app (video_tutorial) in the Macromedia/applications folder on the C drive.

On my local machine, I change my .fla to point to: rtmp:// *appropriate IP address* /video_tutorial .

Now when I publish the .swf on my local machine, it fails. Do I need to post my html and .swf on an actual server to view properly? The Windows 2000 server only allows connections through port 80 (http) and 443 (https). I tried tunneling and manually setting my rtmp to *appropriate IP address*:80. I changed my .ini file to ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,443,80 like another forum mentioned to do.

Still no luck. At this point I don't know if I have firewall issue or something with the server itself. ANY IDEAS?

    I don't know if this is going to solve your problem, however you may be having issues with the cross-domain policy that is built into Flash.

    You can't directly access media from another domain unless you have specifically created access rights to do so.
