[Flashcoders] Issues with Limelight/Streaming Video
*The Problem: *Currently we're using Limelight as our CDN for streaming video, and we've randomly been getting these strange 'blackouts' - you load the file, the netConnection is successful, the netStream connects correctly, you load the movie, then ... nothing. Just a blank screen, no video at all. I've traced out the status of each step, and nothing is throwing and error - it all thinks it's working correctly - except nothing plays. The kicker is that the SAME file, untouched, will be working fine - then all of a sudden, for two hours, it's not - then, it's working again. We've tested this with Adobe's FLV playback compononet, custom classes, custom players, barebones-4-line-actionscript, etc. We've talked to Limelight support, they have no idea and have offered no suggestions. We've checked our internal network for port blocking, etc - and it's all fine, correct ports open. *The Question:* Now before we all say Limelight sucks, I was wondering if anyone has had any problems like this with Limelight or any other CDN before? Or can offer any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Will, Sounds like their RTMP port is allowing you to handshake but it's not pushing any kind of data. Have you tried using Charles to see what kind of data you are receiving? Hope this helps you've tried port 1935, 443 80?

Re: [Flashcoders] Issues with Limelight/Streaming Video
Sean, Johannes, thanks for your reply. We've double checked all the ports, and have made sure they're open. The rtmp's (for limelight at least) default port is 1935 - if that's blocked, it switches to http and uses port 80. 443 is also open. We'll try charles out and see what we get with that. Thanks again!
