Hi,

We've been running FMS 3 for about 3 months now and someone just sent me an MP4 encoded video file. THe file plays through quicktime locally just fine.

When I load the video to the FMS and test only the audio file plays back.

    To see H.264 content, you need to play the file with Flash Player 9,0,115,0 or later. If you're using CS3, the player used for the test movie environment (Control > Test Movie) doesn't support H.264.

    To see H.264 content, you also need Flash Media Server 3.5 -- FMS 3 doesn't know what "mp4:" means.

    Here's an in-depth article about MPEG-4 support:

    Hope that helps,

    hi.....
    what code are you using to play the mp4.....when you substitute in a flv file does it work?
    When playing an mp4 file you should be using: stream.play("mp4:videoname")
    basically you have to have "mp4:" then the file name in the call but it should work the same as playing an flv.

    I am using Flash CS3 AS2 FLVPlayback component. In the Parameters panel I've set the contentPath to rtmp://myserver.com/vod/mp4:fileName and rtmp://myserver.com/vod/mp4:fileName.mp4 with the same results.

    The Audio streams the video doesn't.
