Hi there,

Trying to use Flash Media Streaming Server for a long week on a Windows Server 2003, I am now totally desperate !

All is actually OK with the installation of FMS.

I learned how to put a video to make a vod, how to create an instance, but the major problem is that I can't read my VOD on my website :s

Videos are runing on windows server, I take the embed code (above the player), i put it on my web site (which is not on the same server but another one), but the video refuse to play on it.

I am doubting about a lots of point, for example, do I have to let the server in LocalHost or put the windows server IP adress ?

I am actually runing a Windows Media Service on this server, and all is working great on port 8080.

I really don't know what to do to let us enjoy FMS.

If someone can help me, It will be very nice.... !

    Can you paste the embed code you are using in your webpage?

    Also does it play from any other machine using any simple player - i mean any standalone player trying to play VOD from another machine (not same machine as FMS) - this is rule out firewall issues if there is any on your FMS machine.

    If you are accessing from different machine, your URL should have FMS machine's IP or DNS name and not "localhost"

    My embed code is the following :

    <object width='640' height='377' id='StrobeMediaPlayback' name='StrobeMediaPlayback' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' ><param name='movie' value='swfs/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf' /> <param name='quality' value='high' /> <param name='bgcolor' value='#000000' /> <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /> <param name='flashvars' value= '&src=rtmp://nsXXXXX.ovh.net/vod/mp4:Shenmue.mp4&autoHideControlBar=true&streamType=vod&autoPlay=true'/><embed src='swfs/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf' width='640' height='377' id='StrobeMediaPlayback' quality='high' bgcolor='#000000' name='StrobeMediaPlayback' allowfullscreen='true' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer' flashvars='&src=rtmp://nsXXXXX.ovh.net/vod/mp4:Shenmue.mp4&autoHideControlBar=true&streamType=vod&autoPlay=true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'> </embed></object>

    I tryed also with the IP of my server machine (and with a simple flash embed code) but nothing hapened :s

    In the Flash Administration Server, do I have to put the IP or DNS name or localhost (then changing the Localhost to my IP on my web page to embed) ?

    It's a really strange problem !

    Thanx anyway for the beggining of the key !

    PS : I tried to play my RTMP file on another website, it's the same error.

    Firewalls are shut down on my windows server 2003 and on the webserver :s
