Ok so I am a total newb...

I installed FMS on my CENTOS 5 server

everything went in fine.  and I am able to pull up the adobe flashe media server screen.

from this default webpage I can play some sample videos.   woo hoo..

so now I want to stream out.  First I verify that my my rtmp is working.  I do this with mplayer and my command line

mplayer rtmp://localhost/vod/sample1_1000kbps.f4v

this works great.

So then I go to my windows machine and use vlc and "open network stream" and punch in:

rtmp://192.168.1.25/vod/sample1_1000kbps.f4v

"open the MRL 'rtmp://192.168.1.25/vod/sample1_1000kbs.f4v'. Check the log for details."


Just to make sure there was no firewall or network issue.  i plugged a ethernet crossover cable to my centos machine.

i can ping and I can even go to htttp://192.168.1.25 and view the demo screen and watch the movie through there.

What am I missing here??

Thanks for your help

    Hi

    Thanks for trying FMS.

    I am not sure if VLC can play RTMP streams. Can you try with a sample flash player ? You can get one @ www.osmf.org (Flash Media Playback or the Strobe Media Playback).

    Also, for playing mp4 / F4V files on FMS, you need to add a prefix mp4: and hence the url should look like rtmp://server/vod/mp4:file.mp4

    Thank you !
