Always the way, as soon as you post the question you find the solution
;) I will post it here for posterity.
>From my streaming host I was given the following information to work
with the JW media player:
file = rtmp.thestreamingserver.com/wizard/
id = {accountname}/{videoname} (no .flv extension)
mx:VideoDisplay only supplies a source attribute for the source of the
stream so a single url for the stream was required - finding out what
that single url was proved rather difficult but finally I got it:
'rtmp.thestreamingserver.com/wizard/' + '_definst_' +
'/accountname/videoname.flv'
Needed to sandwich the folder '_definst_' between the file and id info
I was given and add on the file extension - et voila.
I then stumbled on a new problem, the stream was playing back all
stuttery, indeed twice at once it seemed. To resolve this, the
autoBandWidthDetection attribute of the mx:VideoDisplay tag had to be
set to true. Apparently, some action script file has to be installed
in the correct place on the streaming server for this to work -
fortunately for me, this all seems to have been taken care of.
Cup of tea time while I wait for my hair to grow back (could be some time) ;)
