FMS 3 MP4 videos with RTMPT not working

9 replies [Last post]

I have a set of MP4 videos (encoded H.264) sitting on FMS 3. I tried to stream the video using the setup wizard, but am unable to get them to work. Kindly help!!!

In the FMS admin console, I can see that the video is playing, so I don't think there are connection problems. What am I missing???

Here are the 3 things I set under setup wizard:

Under 1: Select an Example Setup
*** FLVPlayer with an RTMP stream

Under 2: Change Your Flashvars
*** file:Evidence_Chapter_5.MP4
*** streamer: rtmpt://72.32.121.177/mbe/mp4

 
Remove the  "MP4"  extension from the  file  flashvar value.

The player can figure out that it needs to add the  mp4:  prepend for FMS.

Works fine for me like this:

        'streamer':                              'rtmpt://72.32.121.177/mbe/mp4',
        'file':                                  'Evidence_Chapter_5',
        'type':                                  'rtmp',

Thank you for the quick response!

I have both the FLV and MP4 versions stored in the same directory. The code above seems to be loading the FLV video and not the MP4 version. Can you please advise what needs to be done to play the MP4 version of the video?

 
You can force it by adding the prepend yourself:

'streamer': 'rtmpt://72.32.121.177/mbe/mp4',
'file': '<strong>mp4:</strong>Evidence_Chapter_5',
'type': 'rtmp',

Something loads, from the metadata, it looks like an MP4 file???

Yes, now I see mp4 loaded from the metadata, but the video does not play. I also verified this in the FMS admin console. But the mp4 video does not seem to stream. Should I move the MP4 file into another directory?

Here's what I did :

I created a new directory in FMS: MBEHD and copied over only the MP4 file - "Evidence_Chapter_5". It still does not work.

So I thought the issue was with the MP4 file. So I downloaded the bunny.mp4 from this URL:

http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/testing/files/bunny.mp4?rev=169

Placed it in the directory and tried with that, still the same. The player keeps spinning.

Now I placed a flash file "test.flv" now it plays the flash file.

Please help!

Code I'm using:

'streamer': 'rtmpt://72.32.121.177/mbehd/mp4',
'file': 'bunny',
'type': 'rtmp',

 
Sorry, I don't have FMS, so I can't help you with the MP4 issue.

Something is wrong with your FMS configuration if bunny.mp4 doesn't play, but I don't have a clue about what it might be.

Hi ELAYA,

What's Adobe Flash Player version you are using?

The latest version seem like having problem of playing MP4 video.

I am having the same problem, I was thinking if its possible to let the player to play mp4 and flv. Will creating another directories solve this problem ?

Hello Eleya :

Have you solve this problem yet ? If so, what seems to be the problem ?
