Question

Setting up a demo for the boss

I am setting up a demo for the boss using Flash Media Server 4 and Flash Media Live Encoder. These are installed on the same computer running 2003 server. For this demo we are using a USB webcam that is also installed in the same computer.

Everything is working fine on the encoding side. The problem is I can't figure out what the URL would be to hit the "live stream" from another computer on the same network. All the Adobe software was installed using all the defaults. The win 2003 server IP address is set static at 192.168.7.175, the server name is server2003, the FMS URL is rtmp://localhost/live, the Stream name is "livefeed".  From any pc on the network I can enter http://192.168.7.175 and up comes the Adobe Flash Media Server home page. From there I can select the "Interactive" tab, enter rtmp:/live in the server field and livefeed in the "Stream" field and the video and audio from the USB camera is displayed when I hit "Play Live Stream". I just can't figure how to hit just the "Live USB camera". If we can figure this out, we want to stream live video to our company webpage. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    If you trying to playback the stream from another computer, you need to give "rtmp://192.168.7.175/live" as Server URL and "livefeed" as stream name. So if you are using  Adobe Flash Media Server home page's Interactive tab - in "Play Live Stream" section give "rtmp://192.168.7.175/live" in SERVER text box and "livefeed" in STREAM text box .

    Now if you want to stream to your company web page you would have to embed the client player inside your web page - the client player would communicate to FMS to playback the stream.

    Thanks for the quick help, it is appreciated. I have pretty much figured out everything except the embed code for the web site. I am using Frontpage and have been trying to use the suggested embed code that is generated by the Adobe media encoder program but just can't get it to work.

    As I noted, I can see the stream in the Adobe screen on a remote pc. Just can't see it in a test webpage on same network.

    Thanks

    Check this page - it might help you: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/13/embedding-flash

    Also when you open FMS home page - you will see text box where you will EMBED code - so you can have a look at it and take cues from it.
