Configure to use RTMPT?

[Macnimation]

Hi,
We are having issues with RTMP as some areas have firewalls up and cannot view
FLV files streamed through RTMP.

How do I setup Flash Media Server to use RTMPT?

I tried just changing rtmp to RTMPT, but Dreamweaver kicks it out and reverts
to RTMP, so I assume there are some additional steps needed to be taken?

cheers

Hmm... the built-in player that ships with DW CS3 may not be able to use rtmpt.
However, if you're running your own custom installation of Flash Media Server,
you need to make sure you're binding to port 80 with an IP address in your
config settings. You can find the adaptor.xml file in the program/application
folder for Flash Media Server. It's best to do a simple test from a Flash movie
using custom ActionScript code to see if you can successfully connect over
RTMPT.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure about custom actionscript though, as its FLV files I'm streaming,
not sure where the Actionscript would be used.

I'll take a look at the adaptor.xml file

What settings do I change in the adaptor.xml file to support rtmpt?

try specifying the rtmpt connection when the client connects:

ie instead of rtmp://yourhost:${port}/yourapp/
use rtmpt://yourhost:${port}/yourapp/

Please note that native rtmp has less overhead than the tunneling of rtmp.

change this ..ctl_channel="192.168.1.250:19350"

>${ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT}</HostPort>............ in C:\Program

Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\conf\_defaultRoot_\adaptor.xml.......this
way you can use port 1935 in your rmtp messages and punch a hole through the
firewall.....make sure you open port 1935 and port 80 in your router
configuration

then the rmtp should look like this ......rtmp://yourhost::1935/yourapp/


Keep in mind that i can only assume that you are haveing router trouble.

Thanks for all the help.
Got it resolved. It was a VPN issue rather than a Firewall issue.
But I have also changed it to use rtmpt to avoid other possible issues.

Thanks again for the help
