Well I'm not completely sure I understand your setup, but I'll take a stab
at it.
You should have an application setup in MediaServer. This gives you the
flexibility to have multiple applications running without crossing each
others paths. Having a chat application and video application running
simultaneously are easier because of it...
I'm a little lost on the FTP part that you mentioned, so this might be way
off. I'm sure that you'll want to keep the media files on the same server as
MediaServer or bare minimum to have them on a mapped network drive to a
storage location. Using a protocol like FTP to grab video files and than
push them back out will definitely cause issues down the road. Technically
it would equal out to double the bandwidth being pushed through your
connection and slow down any uploads, remote requests or shared objects
within other applications.
As for using the video files, you need to connect to the server in Flash. CF
would only pass along needed variables to properly generate the request in
Flash.
For example, You could have a Flash based Media player embedded in the pages
being passed a unique ID via FlashVars and than generate the call for the
video itself. The way you describe it, I'm unsure what you're currently
doing, so I figured I toss that in just in case.
Off the top of my head if you did anything else, it wouldn't actually stream
the video, but simply progressively download it, which makes the media
server useless.
Cheers,

Subject: Flash Media Server question
Figure someone on here might know this answerso I am embedding flash
video in my CF pagesbut my link wasn't working, nothing loaded up.
I have troubleshooted back to the point that I am uncertain the setup of
the Media Server is right.
The media server was supposed to point to a ftp folder that we sent up
flash video to. Then, we can call it by IP address from the CF pages.
When I checked on the Media Server admin, I am lost. Do I need to
setup an application or something for it to send out that data?
Firewall holes have been opened for the server, etc. I can't see any
other reason for my cf files not to pick up the video.
Thanks in advance
