Have you tried asking this question on Flashcom? A lot of video + server heads there; maybe they'd have some suggestions.

The application we are trying to build will run in a WAN. This means that the .cfg file will have to be installed on many users' computers. This is completely out of the question. As far as the player, we are using a version 7 .exe. The client is limiting us to UNC paths. This is killing the whole deal because it seems that .flvs and the components and stuff that were built to play them only work locally (on your computer) or over http. We have been researching and experimenting with this problem for a long time and I don't think there is an answer. Macromedia has screwed us again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 3:08 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback Issue From Network Path Regarding Flash 8, I'm sure you've followed the awesome suggestion here on creating a .cfg file: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001611.html Since the global security settings won't really mean anything in this case since you are running local, perhaps the .cfg +/- the registry suggestions are ok. Regarding Flash Player 7, that's f'd up, no clue. Is it Flash Player 7 SWF running in Flash Player 8? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Brantley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV Playback Issue From Network Path FLV Playback Issue From Network Path We are developing an application that due to network bandwidth concerns pulls FLV files from different network paths based on a user. This information must be pulled via a UNC path (\\server\folder\file.flv <file:///\\server\folder\file.flv> ) Using contentPath, .setMedia, & netstream we have tried to make this work. Flash 8 shut us out due to the new security model / sandbox issue. Now using Flash 7 we have ran into a new issue. The flv works correctly as long as only one person is accessing the file. If another person opens the application and calls the same flv file it fails to load. We have enabled the MIME types on our Windows Server 2003 for the FLV extension. We're completely stumped on this one.. as others have obviously been: http://labs.blitzagency.com/?p=80 This may be a limitation of flash, a bug or a general mystery. We've thought about diving into the world of third party apps such as Zinc. Does anyone have any thoughts or a workaround/solution? If not does anyone have suggestions on how to use a third party app to attain the same results? Thanks in advance for any advice... _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
