Hi David,
you probably have not activated streaming in the config.properties.
There are two parameters org.opencastproject.streaming.url and
org.opencastproject.streaming.directory that have to be uncommented and
configured.
After you configured this and restarted the server this will be
available for all new ingested recordings. Old recordings have not been
distributed there and would have to be reingested (or you can use the
REST endpoints to do the distribution to streaming and the update of the
search service on your own if you know what has to be done for this).
For your current recordings you can check the search service
(search/episode.xml) that there are probably no RTMP links to the media
included yet.
If you want to switch between streaming and progressive download you can
use a command line parameter vmode=[progressive|streaming].
I hope this helps?

Hi Rudiger,
Thanks for that thats what I thought, however testing suggests that
the file isn't being streamed by the player but downloaded (for
instance one can't skip ahead of where the media has downloaded) Is
this expected in the flash setup or does it point to an error on our
side?

David
Hi David,
FLVs are perfekt for streaming as there is a variety of solutions to
stream and pseudo stream this format (Red5, Flash Media Server, Wowza,
erlyvideo, Lighttpd, Apache).
What kind of streaming do you intend to do? If you intend to do
h.264/mp4 streaming I can share my encoding Profiles for thsi with you
(they are a little updated since I posted them to the wiki), but we have
not optimized them for streaming. They are currently intended for iTunes
U downloads.
If you look at 1.3 you will find updated profiles for the multi-quality
encodings for FLV too, as it is important for streaming that you have a
quality that has a bandwith apropriate for your connection...
Regards
Rüdiger
