Hey fellas, I'm not an Adobe guy, but I was tasked with build a streaming media server, easy enoug, server 2008, some updates and a trial version of media server 4 and its done. Hmmm, now what? I threw a video in the webroot vod folder and typed the address in the url bar on the test page and it worked, so I assume its runngin correctly, but now what do I do? I guess I can create a folder that users can dump videos into but how do I create a page that will display the contents fo those folders for streaming? I'm not really sure what my next step is I guess.

    Well lets see here Learn AS3.0, SSAS(Server Side Actionscript),Flash media server administration, goto fmsguru.com and follow every tutorial (don't do this untill after you learn AS3.0). Learn HTML, a little javascript so you can embed using swfObject download swfObject while you are at it. Watch Brain melt ......watch Brain melt again. Open eyes one day and it will all make sense. By now around 1-5 years will have passed I lean twords 5 years .you have lots of class files and code snippets and you don't have to work as hard unless you are bent on doing the "impossible" if you will.  I'm not being mean or a troll this is just a realistic overview of what you have to cram into your mind. Don't worry we will be here to help after you have learned the basics.

    We do have a web development team here, I just needed to get media server up and running, but it sounds like maybe its time to pass this project to them? I thought it would be a little easier to set something up with "Adobe Media Server 4!!" haha but I guess not necesaarily. I was really looking for a solution where I could have a standard web player, and a few directories users coudl click into that would show its contents and when you click the link it just plays.

    well you might view a stream using a  web player such as VLC i doubt you might make a html list that calls the VLC player and tells it what stream to play. I haven't done this myself though so let me know how it goes.
