Hi, I have developer edition and downloaed a sample from one of the tutorials available on Adobe.com. Everything works fine with the rtmp link pointing to localhost when the site is launched on the server itself. However, if I go to another machine and access access the html through http nothing happens. The player isn't embedded, no movie... nothing. So I'm thinking the reference to locahost is bad... how can my remote machine talk to 127.0.0.1? So, I changed bind ip in adaptor.xml and public ip in server.xml... still nothing....

What am I missing..... ? Thanks!

To be able to communicate from one machine to another across the internet as opposed to your local network, you need to have DNS setup to see the machine you want to see the media from.

You can go to DynDNS.org and setup to forward a domain to your machine, after purchasing a domain of course.

You can also use your IP, but it is not simply just that.
First you need to open ports 80 and 1935 for both incoming and outgoing traffic on both your router firewall and your machine firewall. You then need to configure your router for port forwarding so that requests get sent to the correct machine.

Took me a few days to get it all figured out, but now I can goto a normal http url and view streaming media that is playing through FMS which is set up on my laptop....cool!

Hope that helps.
