1. Re: Cannot play RTMP stream
Silviu Vergoti Oct 14, 2010 2:12 AM (in response to aut0poietic)It looks like a server configuration problem. Please provide more information on how you setup your streaming application.
I assume wagons2waivers is the application name.
DId you copy the "vod" application to "wagons2waivers" and reconfigured it to get the media from a specific directory?
You need to use "urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance=true" only if you put the asset in a sub-directory of the media folder. If you put it into the media folder, you should access it without the flv extension:
rtmp://anduin.oucpm.org/wagons2waivers/segment1
Also, if you need to debug problems, it's better to use "verbose=true" to enable more technical error messages.

3. Re: Cannot play RTMP stream
aut0poietic Oct 14, 2010 6:17 AM (in response to Silviu Vergoti)First, after turning on verbose, I get the following message for any attempt to connect:
"Timed-out trying to establish a NetConnection, or timed out due to an idle NetConnection 10000"
So we know that it's at least getting some form of handshake from FMS -- or so I guess because when I mis-enter the application name, I get a message stating the "FMS rejected the request."
From what little I know of the configuration, it's set to automatically add applications when folders are created -- I create the folder, drop in a "streams" folder and a preset main.asc, and dump my files in "streams/_definst_/" for each application. Applications are auto-created by FMS. So far this has not caused any issues (there are about 20 applications there); only Strobe Media Player is having issues with the connection.
You mention an "vod", and after a bit of searching I understand that's a folder on the server for a configuration-less video folder. We've not been using those, and I suspect that it is because we're not on FMS 3.5 -- but I'll confirm this once the admin is available this morning.
I was trying both with and without "urlIncludesFMSApplicationInstance=true", simply because all the documentation I have and the wizards in Dreamweaver all agree that there must be a "host/application/instance" structure to the link -- omitting the "_definst_" in the path creates an error in Dreamweaver's wizards, and causes the other working media players to fail.
I'll find out what version of FMS, and look into adding an allow all to the crossdomain.xml (so someone else can actually see the files and responses) we're using and report back.

aut0poietic Oct 14, 2010 7:24 AM (in response to aut0poietic)Here's a log file record of the connection attempt from strobe playback

This is also reflected in the FMS console. It looks like strobe is connecting and immediately disconnecting. There are no errors in the logs nor in the console. Why it would do this, I have no idea.
I'm about half tempted to load up the source and see if I can step through a debugger and see what happens -- I'm beginning to wonder if this is a configuration issue or a bug/feature of the player -- though obviously i have only the logs as a basis for saying this.
Please let me know if the details clues you into any potential issues.

6. Re: Cannot play RTMP stream
aut0poietic Oct 15, 2010 6:23 AM (in response to aut0poietic)Gotta say, after pouring through the source and debugging a bit in Flash Builder, this is most likely a bug in the player, or a design decision -- every other player on the market plays these streams. It doesn't matter that the admin has this server configured oddly or that it is a very old FMS install.
I've wasted 16 hours on this player, it's time to move on. Thanks for the help, I'll check back when the player is a bit more mature.

7. Re: Cannot play RTMP stream
nicadores Aug 5, 2013 9:10 AM (in response to aut0poietic)I have the same problem as you! I can see the stream on any of my sites. But only on my computer! If someone else tries to open stream appears: "Timed out trying to Establish a NetConnection, or timed out due to idle NetConnection year 10000"! FMS console can see all the connections they make on my computer. When someone tries to open stream FMS console on another computer do not indicate any connection! I tried at least 10 crossdomain.xml files, I put in all folders, nothing yet! Tutorials on Adobe Flash Media Server does not contain explicit inserting pictures crossdomain.xml files! I'm sorry I bought Flash Media Server and can not use this program! The program is quite complicated, and tutorials are shallow! Video tutorials are not close at all!
