ok need flash media server help - GoFuckYourself.com

mikesouth · 05-27-2009, 05:33 PM

Im now the proud owner of a server with wowza FMS

i understand how wowsa works the architecture and the idea that the media is placed in the wowza directory structure

what I need is a tutorial or whatever to simply explain to me how to code the streaming video into my site. I google flash tutorials and I get nonsense about making 3d animations with scrolling text and flash buttons yada yada

can anyone recommend an online resource or a book that simply tells me how to do what I need to know to code this into the html or whatever?

Thanks guys!

i use dreamweaver CS3 if that helps

Ahh fuck it Ill be nice. Ok assuming you are using rtmp or rtmpe from your wowza server.

Code:

<embed src="http://www.yourdomain.com/whateverplayeryouareusing.swf"width="576"height="324"allowscriptaccess="always"allowfullscreen="true"flashvars="height=324&width=576&file=rtmp://yourdomain.com/filedirectory/&image=http://www.thisisanoptionaladditionifyouwantanimagetoappear.com/yourimage.jpg&id=mp4:filenameofyourmp4"/>

This would work with say the Jw player. Variables are dependent upon your player you are using. You can run it as rtmp or rtmpe if enabled on your wowza server.

You can learn a lot if using jw player about their variables on their site, and they do have a generator on there which sometimes will work depending on how your server is setup.

Webair i see now has Wowza servers for 'free' for their clients.

Wowza's website says you can secure live streams with tokens - which is nice because from what i've heard FMS isn't as easy to lock down live streams.

Never used FMS for live streams so I can't comment on that, but for recorded streams its easy to lock down.
