How can I make the video I've placed in vod/definst show up in the streams column in the Admin Console? I have an flv in the folder but nothing shows in the streams column.

    Nope... you can't make an HTTP request of FMS, as FMS (or at least the current version of FMS) does not operate as an HTTP server. RTMP is used for all connections to FMS, regardless of what's being sent to and from the client (in fact, RTMP and it's derivatives are the only protocols that FMS uses).

    Perhaps it's the location of the video file. Unless you've changed the VOD application structure, your file should be in the VOD/media directory.

    Thanks! I was putting the files in an "instance" folder that I created. Thanks so much for your help.

    The admin console doesn't list all files, it only lists streams that are live and video/audio files that are currently in use

    Thanks, then my problem stems from something else. I'll check the url in my swf etc. and then post my next hurdle.
    I was trying to access the file using rtmp but it seems the more I read the more I found how confused I must be. Is rtmp only meant to be for live streaming? If thats so then video on demand should be accessed using the http protocol?
