FLV PLayer 2.0...its works great if the video is directly inside the content folder via

rtmp://[IPAddress]/PhoneFling/_definst_/mp4:test1.mp4

here is what is in the error log after I add the file to the test1 subdirectory:

ERROR server comment 2009-01-28 15:30:28 - - - - - 62.516 - - - - - - - onApplicationInstanceCreate: javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException: Invalid character ':' in value part of property

i tried that, created a PhoneFling folder inside the conf forlder as such:

InstallDir/Conf/PhoneFling/Application.xml (which has the FixStream module added)

and I still cant stream using

rtmp://66.152.165.83/PhoneShag/Test1/mp4:test1.mp4

it only works with

rtmp://66.152.165.83/PhoneFling/_definst_/mp4:Test1/test1.mp4

rtmp://66.152.165.83/PhoneFling/_definst_/Test1/mp4:test1.mp4

Do you think its just the player?

So, to be sure were able to hit the most client players out there, should we always add the _definst_ when we link to a video?

I downloaded a flash player and was able to stream my MP4 files. I also need to stream H263 encoded 3gp and 3g2 files as well. From the documentation I see only H264 3GP & 3G2 files are supported by Wowza..Is this correct? I guess I can stream the MP4 through Wowza, and keep streaming my 3gp and 3g2 files through Darwin SS...

Also, if I try to create subfolders in the Content folder, ie Test1 and Test2, then place the files test1.mp4 in Test1, and test2.mp4 in Test2 folder, I am unable to stream them.

[install Dir]/Content/Test1/test1.mp4

[install Dir]/Content/Test2/test2.mp4

i tried:

rtmp://[IPAddress]/PhoneFling/mp4:Test1/test1.mp4

and

rtmp://[IPAddress]/PhoneFling/_definst_/mp4:Test1/test1.mp4

and a few others. This is how the documentation says to do it, but all i get is "Failed to load test1.mp4"

How would I change the content directory. Most of our vids are going to be on a direct attached storage RAID so I need to be able to keep my content dir somewhere else.

the main thing i am trying to accomplish here is adding a subdirectory under the content folder. If I take a file named test1.mp4 and place it directly into the content folder, i can stream it using

rtmp://[ipadress]/phonefling/_definst_/mp4:test1.mp4

However...If I create a folder called test1 inside the content folder, then add my same file into the test1 folder, and try to stream it from the same FLV player using the url specified in the documentation

rtmp://[ipaddress]/phonefling/_definst_/mp4:test1/test1.mp4

I get "Loading......Stopping......Failed to load test1.mp4

ok the FixStream module worked. It only works with the _definst_ in the URL. Does that just mean I need to copy the Application.xml file into my application folder?
