FMS2 and Smil
Hi,
I read that FMS2 support XML playlist format like SMIL. I be able to use smil
file in a client-side way with FLVPlayBack but it's very limited (for example I
don't be able to play one video after the end of another video) and I want to
try a server side playlist.
How can I do to use smil to create server-side playlist? Server-side playlist
has the same limitations? Any suggestions, link or examples?
Thank you
Daniele

I'm also having this issue. I've spent most of the last couple of days crawling
through the PDFs for client and server side AS, along with the technotes and
samples, attempting to get a clear understanding of how to get SMIL XML based
dynamic bandwidth streaming from FMS2. I've been able to code from scratch a
nice NetStream based solution, but really want to use the dynamic bandwidth
management and loose coupling of the SMIL based solution. Currently I've got
the following setup:
Windows 2003 Server
IIS 6
serving a swf containg the following button which dynamically loads the smil
file from the same directory as the swf:
on( click ){
import mx.video.*;
_root.vid_ctrl.contentPath = "http://localhost/flashVid/streams.xml";
trace( "contentPath: "+ _root.vid_ctrl.contentPath );
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.metadataReceived = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
_root.vid_ctrl.setSize(vid_ctrl.preferredWidth, vid_ctrl.preferredHeight);
_root.vid_ctrl.seek(4);
trace( "contentPath after metadata: "+ _root.vid_ctrl.contentPath );
}
_root.vid_ctrl.addEventListener("metadataReceived" , listenerObject);
}
[from livedocs article:
[url]http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003539.html][/url]
This is the content of the XML SMIL file:
<smil>
<head>
<meta base="rtmp://localhost/bls_videos/_definst_" />
<layout>
<root-layout width="320" height="256" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<switch>
<video src="Bag-mask 1 resc (512)" system-bitrate="512000" />
<video src="Bag-mask 2 resc (512)" system-bitrate="128000" />
</switch>
</body>
</smil>
I can see in my server log for the bls_videos app that a connection is being
made, but no streams are showing on the streams tab, and no response on the
client. The following is logged on server when the connection is made:
welcome[object Client]
Error : command msg sent before client connection has been accepted.
Error : command msg sent before client connection has been accepted.
The Welcome is a trace line I put into the main.asc to ensure it was getting
called. Not sure what the error is about.
Any more detailed information on using the SMIL XML files for streaming -
particularly a fully worked end to end example, would be useful.After trawling
through the various online and offline docs on this subject there is very
little to guide anyone.
thanks
Nick
