That's from my collegue, the flash developer:

hi,

The essential thing is that the red5 flv-path must have the following
format:

Rtmp://server/application/bla.flv

While the flv-path format for the FMS is:

Rtmp://server/application/flv:bla

I think the default call of the flv-playback-component is in this format
"dataformat:filename"

Cheers
Mike
