Question

rtmpt connection very slow with FP 9,0,115,0

Connecting with rtmpt (http tunneling) to FMS 3 vod service takes 10-15 secs on Flash Player 9,0,115,0.

I used Flex Builder 2.01 to compile the swf.

OS: Windows XP, Firefox and IE7

With older version connection takes 1-2 secs.
rtmp connection also works fine.

    No, we installed FMS 3.0.2 on a completely different machine at a different server hosting provider.
    So I can't really tell you what exactly causes this server to work well but it does.

    We recently tried to install the latest FMS 3.0.2 on a different machine running Linux Debian Etch and rtmpt connectio works fine with new Flash Players as well.
    So this seems to be a very complex bug that depends both on Flash Player version and FMS version/installation.

    Important: this bug does not depend on a corporate firewall or proxy - I have experienced it with basic broadband connection too.

    Very interesting. Have you yet tried setting up a fresh installation of FMS 3.0.2 where it didn't work either? So far I have only upgraded, i.e. copied the 3.0.2 files over the existing installation of 3.0.

    In my case the bug does not depend on the corporate network, a firewall or proxy server either. RTMPT through the Flash plugin on Windows never works for me, no matter from where I'm connecting to the server.

    I still have the same connection problem when using rtmpt.

    I used Wireshark to examine the packets sent.
    It seems like the Flash Player is waiting for 25-30 secs before it actually connects to the server.
    Then server response comes very quickly.

    I have found a similar post baout rtmpt connection to Red5 here:
    http://www.nabble.com/setting-up-rtmpt-connection-with-red5-is-slow-td16470116.html

    We would really like to have some kind answer from Adobe as we have purchased FMS 3 and we are not able to use it with tunneling.
    Is this a Flash Player bug or not ??

    I'm experiencing the same problem with RTMPT. Whenever I connect to "rtmpt://server/app/file" (or when specifying rtmp:// which falls back onto rtmpt:// due to firewall restrictions), the Flash player plugin causes the browser to freeze for 5-15 seconds and then proceeds with the playback normally. This affects all browsers on Windows with Flash plugin versions 9.0.115 or 9.0.124 only. MacOSX is working perfectly fine. I'm using Flash Media Server version 3.0.2.

    I discovered that when activating an HTTP proxy server (I'm using Squid Cache 2.6.STABLE14) in Internet Explorer, the RTMPT traffic gets redirected through it smoothly and the issue as described above does not occur.

    A related bug report has been issued here: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-150

    When is Adobe going to fix this?
