Question

vmware, fms 3.5 only accessable with admin and not swf

Hi all,

Here is what I have done.

  1. I downloaded and installed FMS 3.5 (latest) on a virtual machine running in vmware on my iMac. The virutal machine runs Ubuntu 8.04 and has IP-number 192.168.219.130.
  2. Installed and completed I moved the "Legend.flv" file found on the "Beginners guide to streaming..." to my newly installed FMS /opt/adobe/fms/applications/vod/media
  3. I tested the fms by connecting with my iMac using the admin interface (copied from /opt/adobe/fms/tools/...) and logged in using the following credentials:
    1. Server Name: Server 1
    2. Server Address: 192.168.219.130
    3. Username: *********
    4. Password: **********
  4. The admin interface connected and all seemd to be just fine.
  5. I fired up my SWF made in CS4 (attached file). Basically it is an empty stage with a FLVPlayback component dragged on to the stage. the component has 3 changes made:
    1. skin: SkinUnderAllNoFullNoCaption.swf
    2. skinBackground: #009933
    3. source: rmtp://192.168.219.130/vod/Legend
  6. At this stage I only get the green bar with the loading stripes in the progress bar. I.e. the video never starts.
  7. If I check the admin tool and the log tabs It seems that no attempts to connect has been made.

This leads me to belive I am missing something. Any assistance would be greatly apprechiated.

    Hi,

         Please specify source property value as rmtp://192.168.219.130/vod/Legend.flv and then publish the swf file and play the flash swf. This should start the playback of Legend.flv.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the tip. However, I tried and it changed nothing.

    Also the guide i referd to in my first post specifically states that:

    --qoute--

    The different syntaxes are summarized as follows:

    • FLV: rtmp://domain/app/streamname (no .flv suffix)
    • MPEG-3: rtmp://domain/app/mp3:streamname (no .mp3 suffix)
    • MPEG-4: rtmp://domain/app/mp4:streamname.mp4 (use the suffix for any compatible MPEG-4 file: .mov, .avi, .mp4, etc.)

    --end qoute--

    I continued my testing by installing FMS 3.5 to another vmware machine this time running windows. This way I could test locally,

    so I installed the server and everything was working. this also confirmed by fmscheck.exe that gave me the following output:

    #Version 1.0.0 r15 
    #2010-01-13 12:01:41
    #Software: Adobe Flash Media Server Check 1.0.0 r15 
    #2010-01-13
    #Fields: date    time        x-event                      x-sname
    2010-01-13     12:01:41     Connect                     rtmp://localhost:1935/vod
    2010-01-13     12:01:41     NetConnection.Connect.Success      Connection succeeded.
    2010-01-13     12:01:41     Program complete successful      -

    I then copied my html file, swf files (PlayerTest.swf, SkinUnderAllNoFullCaption.swf) to the windows machine with the source changed to:

    rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/Legend and fired it up. To my surprise this generated the same result as when trying to access the remote server from my local machine.(P.S. I also tried with the source rtmp://localhost:1935/vod/Legend.flv)

    This strengthens my suspision that I am missing some vital step to making this work.

    All help on the matter is very welcome.

    thanks

         Peter
