VOD Subfolder streaming

I have a FMS set up and when I do a normal video stream I use an address like

rtmp://111.111.111.111/vod/video

So I want to make it so that I can stream from sub folders in the VOD file like

rtmp://111.111.111.111/vod/myvideo/video

This doesnt seem to work.  So what do I need to do so I can make it work? Surely there is a way to do this.  Thanks.

    Ok So I have made the changes in the configuring PDF and I now have a sub folder server name and I have the application instance showing up in the Flash Server Admin  however when I put the FLV in a subfolder of the VOD and use this line rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/VOD/_definst_/subfolder/test OR rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/VOD/subfolder/test it does not see the movie. Also.. The server is running Windows 2008 and the Flash streaming folder is on F and the VOD folder is on E drive, not sure if this makes a difference.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Is FMS configured to look to the location on the F drive for content? If you didn't configure that, FMS won't be able to find the media.

    Yes It finds rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/VOD/Test without a problem.

    Can you tell me when you tried playing URL using "rtmp://111.111.111.111/vod/myvideo/video" where did you create "myvideo" folder?

    I created it in the vod\media folder.

    Same scenario works for me - if i have folder under vod/media, i can use uri like rtmp://<server>/vod/myvideo/sample.flv and video plays for me.

    Have you made any changes to configuration and also what client are you using to play. Also is the file mp4 or flv.
