Stupid Newbie need help

[hisheirs]

Good Day ..
I've installed FMS2 ... copied application(ion) into the application folder ..
but any attempt to connect fails .. the uri I'm using is ..
[url]http://192.168.0.10/ion/SharedFiles/Precautions.flv[/url]
any ideas ???

You need to create a Flash swf from where you will access the Video(.flv) file. The url you will be using in the fla will look like rtmp://<IP of FMS>/<appliaction>/<instance>/<stream name>

THANKS for the response ..
That's exactly what I have .. a swf w/ a embedded flv player ..
the flv plays fine if I reference it locally .. but for some reason I can not connect to FMS ...

I'm missing something very basic here ...
my client side code is ...

theVid = "rtmp://192.168.0.10/ion/SharedFiles/Precautions.flv"

NetCon = new NetConnection();
NetCon.connect(null);
NetStrm = new NetStream(NetCon);
VidWin.attachVideo(NetStrm);
NetStrm.play(theVid)

if I bypass FMS e.g. theVid = "P:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash Media Server
2/applications/ion/SharedFiles/Precautions.flv"

it works ...
the FMS management console sees the server .. the application instance .. but
I cannot get the client to connect .. ???

Put the following mapping in your Vhost file and try again

<VirtualDirectory>
<Streams>SharedFiles;P:/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash Media Server
2/applications/ion/SharedFiles</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory>

Take a look man...

if using FMS...
the var "thevid" has incorrect parameters...
in your case that sould be set as "Precautions" (w/o .flv)
the NetCon.connect(null); should be
NetCon.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.10/appName");

but if it's not using FMS you should not use RTMP on the vid variable, but use
HTTP instead!

good luck!
