Hi Ruben,
the current implementation works for us (with Wowza 3). MP4-Streaming
with Red5 does not work properly so it cannot really be tested. If the
behaviour of FMS is different. As you are a commiter and have the needed
FMS server why don't you fix this bug. I am willing to do a code review
and do some testing on Wowza.

I'm bringing this back to life because I'm seeing this bug has not
been corrected in the 1.4.x branch --the "mp4" prefix is still added
before the filename, and not right after the "application" part of the
URL.
However, I see an additional problem in FMS. For some reason I am
unable to comprehend, you can NOT specify the .flv suffix in the FLV
files, or they won't play. There is no way of disabling or changing
this "feature". If, we use the "flv:" format, the stream plays
perfectly, as long as you don't provide the extension at all i.e.
rtmp://my.fms.server/demo/route/to/the/video.flv
doesn't work,
rtmp://my.fms.server/demo/flv:route/to/the/video.flv
doesn't work either, but
rtmp://my.fms.server/demo/flv:route/to/the/video
I checked this with .mp4 videos and the result is that 1 and 3 work.
My question is: does the 3rd option work for the other streaming
servers, too. Because if it does, we have found a general way of
writing the streaming URLs which is independent from the server used,
i.e. to stream the file
route/to/the/video.ext
we use the URL
rtmp://url.to.the.server/application_name/ext:route/to/the/video
Can any of you confirm this?

Hi Leslaw,
I've just updated the ticket.
Thanks,

Hi Rute,
Did you open a ticket in JIRA as Tobias suggested, to apply the
recommended format of the rpm link for Wowza and FMS?

Hi,
Looking at the Wowza tutorial link below, it seems that
Wowza also needs the "mp4:" after the application name and
before the directory path in the rtmp link. The only difference
from FMS seems to be that it requires the "_definst_" instance
name, which FMS assumes by default if no instance is informed:
http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?35#playback
This is the relevant note:
*Note:* To play content that is not at the root of the content
folder you must add the default application instance name to the
URL. For example if you have a file at the path
*[install-dir]/content/myvideos/sample.mp4*, the URLs for the
different stream technologies are:
*Flash player* (RTMP)
Code:
Server:rtmp://[wowza-address]/vod
Stream: mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4
Single URL:rtmp://[wowza-address]/vod/_definst_/mp4:myvideos/sample.mp4
Thus, an rtmp link in the form:
rtmp://server/matterhorn-engage/_definst_/mp4:dir1/dir2/file.mp4
should work with both FMS and Wowza.
Thanks,
Rute

Hi Ruben, Hank,
I was looking at the Wowza documentation and it also has
the concept of "application" as FMS does. So, I am just
wondering if Wowza accepts both forms? I recall Hank said that
the rtmp link is working with Wowza as is, but I was wondering
if he could try to use the other form and see if it works too?
I am curious...
Thanks,
Rute

The "application" convention is certainly present in Wowza and
I believe Red5 as well.

It would be interesting to know if Wowza is effectively
following the same convention. We have already have
bizarre integration problems with FMS because it follows
its own conventions as to the syntax of the media to stream.
We would be happy to have that patch attached to the main
source code, since we are FMS users ourselves, but I think
we shouldn't stick to a certain notation if it's not
shared by the popular streaming alternatives, too (I'm not
saying it's not, just willing to get confirmation of it).
I may be wrong here, but "application" seems like an
internal FMS concept, which may not be share by other
streaming servers. It also seems to me like an unnatural
place to put the tag (I'd rather expect it to be before
the filename or at the beginning of the URL), that's why
I'm trying to be cautious here.

Hi Rute,
> We use FMS here with our current system to stream
mp4 files and the "mp4:" tag should come after the
application name. So, if the file resides several
directory levels below e.g. dir1/dir2/file.mp4, the
rtmp link should contain
"/app_name/mp4:dir1/dir2/file.mp4" and not
"app_name/dir1/dir2/mp4:file.mp4". The links you list
below don't have examples with many levels of
directories. I don't know about Wowza, but I bet it is
the same :)
> I have a patch for this if anyone is interested
(how should I submit it?)
We are certainly interested to apply your patch if
you've go this working! The correct for submitting
patches is the following:
1) Open a ticket in JIRA describing your problem.
2) Us the "attach" function to attach your patch
Also feel free to let the developers (on
[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>) know that
you've submitted a patch and would welcome feedback
and integration (optional step :-)
Tobias
