Hi to All,

I'm quite new in Flash Media Server. I installed the media server on my PC
this morning and I'm going around to try to make it works with some flv files.
The server is working and also the fms2 console. Now I'm trying to deploy an
application to stream some flv files but the result are not good ;-(. below I
post the steps that I did but for sure I'm missing something, it doesn't work
:-)

-create a directory named "first_application" in
"C:\Programmi\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\applications"
-create a subdirectory in "first_application" named "streams"
-put my flv file in the subdirectory "streams", test.flv
-now I have my flv file in "C:\Programmi\Macromedia\Flash Media Server
2\applications\first_application\streams"
-open the fms2 console and go in the "view application"
-create a new instance for the "first_application" named "_definst_"

now I think that I should have my flv file in the list of the streams
available for the "first_application", but it isn't: Why?

I hope my english is clear enough and that someone can help me ....

thanks a lot to all in advance

Try creating a directory below "streams" called "_definst_", and putting the test.flv file there, rather than in "streams". This, at least, has worked for me.

yes. That's why it didn't work! thanks.

Then I thought that once I had mounted the application on the server (by fcs
console), automatically I would have seen the list of the all streaming files
available for that applications (the flv files inside "_definst_" directory).
But no... you can see a streaming file listed on the console only when you
attempt to call that streaming file from a flash application.

but ok, now is working!

thanks again

Hi,

I have done exactly as what is said here and there is nothing in the console showing streams.

Thanks
