Hi,
Our company has recently started trialing Flash Media Server 3, however, I am having issues attempting to play flv files through it.
Obviously, to cover the simple and obvious answers...
1. Domain restrictions ahve been disabled until I know the playback works
2. Ports are open on the server to play the file
3. On the server administration, in the live log, I am seeing "Accepted the connection from IP:{our ip}"
Ok, so here is the issue...
In the AS2 sample provided with Flash Media Server(FMS herein) 3, the sample file plays fine on the url rtmp://{theServer}/vod/sample/sample.flv, this is no issue. This plays both locally on my pc, on the server (when logged in, thus, in this case theServer = localhost) and when on our HTTPServer
In as3 however, the file does not play. For what ever reason. I had a swf which was playing the flv's off the HTTP server just fine, and all I did was change the source of the FLVPlayBack to rtmp://{theServer}/vod/sample/sample.flv and its a no go.
I even tried dumbing it down, using flash as3, I went to "import to library", selected a random flv off my hdd, then opted a flash streaming server and put in the url mentioned earlier. The flv playback component even matched the dimensions of the video on the server!
But upon publishing, no play!
