what I hope is a basic FMS 4.5 configuration question.

We bought the bullet and upgraded all of our servers to FMS 4.5.  I am in the process of changing the webserver from IIS to Apache and am trying to get HLS to work (without much success).  I believe it is an issue with my apache configuration...hopefully someone (maybe someone from adobe?) can help out.

the platform was installed in the default location of c:\program files\adobe\flash media server 4.5\etc...

all of my video content is located at e:\fmsvids\localuser\fms-web\progressive\userid\file.f4v

the fms app directory in the vhost xml points to e:\fmsvids\localuser\

This is what I appended to the httpd.conf file:

Alias /progressive "E:/fmsvids/localuser/fms-web/progressive"

<Directory "E:/fmsvids/localuser/fms-web/progressive">

   HLSHttpStreamingEnabled true

   HLSMediaFileDuration 8000

   HttpStreamingContentPath "E:/fmsvids/localuser/fms-web/progressive"

   HLSFmsDirPath ".."

# Uncomment the following directives to enable encryption

# for this location.

#    HLSEncryptionScope server

#    HLSEncryptCipherKeyFile "../phls/vodkey.bin"

#    HLSEncryptKeyURI        "https://<ServerName>/hls-key/vodkey.bin"

   Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

</directory>

The alias is working as I can download the f4v's without issue via the url http://server/progressive/userid/file.f4v, yet my video tag:

<video src="http://SERVER/progressive/userid/file.f4v">

</video>

only seems to work in chrome.  Appending the .m3u8 to the file.f4v does not seem to work in safari (mac or iOS).  For the record file.f4v is the same video as sample1_1000kbps.f4v in the webroot/vod directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

figured it out. "<directory..." should have been "<location..."
