    yes i have seen and read the info there but truthful iam not that up on all the coding and so on ..

    from what i have read in other sites i tought it was a simple turn this on in one file on main server and turn this on in as u say edge servers but

    as iam here it didnt work .. i think it was all in the defualt config file ..

    i guess i would need a simple step by step . if anyone knows .. ty

    You can set up origin/edge servers with just server configuration. There's an overview in this article:

    One thing I'm not sure about is whether you can configure the developer edition of FMIS as an edge... for some reason, I'm thinking you need to have a license installed to configure as an edge.

    You can do this with an edge/origin configuration, but I personally prefer to do this with server side actionscript. There are two ways of going about it:

    1. Have the origin (the host receiving the stream from the publishing client) push the stream to the edges using the NetConnection and NetStream classes.

    2. Have the edges pull the stream from the origin using using the NetConnection and Stream classes.

    There are examples of both in the documentation.
