Question

Newbie to FMS

I have just setup a FMS 3.5 server for our school district and I am reading The beginners guide to streaming by Tom Green to get information on how to use this product. I have it running on a Windows 2008 server with lots of disk space and memory. My questions are

1. I cannot make a vod connection to play. I see the connection in the admin console but nothing comes across.

2. How would my teachers be able to put their flv files on the server?

3. Am I going to have to create actionscripts for all of there files?

Thanks for any help that you can give. Other districts are waiting to see what I can do before they dive in.

    Hi,

    I am not clear of your purpose yet. However i suggest you go through http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html . This application by Lisa Larson-Kelley uses xml to dynamically generate a playlist. Hope it will help.

    Also go through the other apps in developer connection site.

    Thanks

    I too have had a lot of difficulty setting up FMS for an educational environment.

    There is no convenient way to allow your instructors to upload files.  You will have to give them an FTP account and tell them which directory to upload to.

    Either that, or you have to build some sort of authentication, file-uploading, convert-to-FLV script on your own.
