ApolloCoders discussion mailing list
Published on February 2nd, 2007 by DannyT. Filed under Adobe AIROkay, so maybe the name is a little premature and should be called ApolloCoderWannabes for the short-term (even the “Apollo” bit is only codename at present). However, Ryan has brought to the public’s attention an ApolloCoders mailing list created by Ted Patrick. If you’ve got a burning desire to start asking questions or discussing ideas about Apollo then looks like this is going to be the place.

Ok, I’m stumped. I have been fighting with this thing for days on end and working into the night… but I cannot get Flash Media Server to work.
I would love to call tech support, but they won’t help because I don’t have a support package…
Ive noticed you seem to understand this, so I’d be willing to pay you if you’ll help me.
Here is what is happening:
We have installed FMS and used all of the default settings.
I created a “sample” folder under the applications folder. I also added a _defInst_ folder:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\applications\sample\_defInst_
I then went to Flash 8 and created a test Flash Document and attempted to import the flv video file… however I get the following error:
================================================
Failed to load FLV: rtmp://[IPAddress]/sample/sample.flv
================================================
I have also tried – rtmp://[IPAddress]/sample/sample (note the omission of the .flv at the end)
What am I missing?
I’m not trying to do anything fancy… I just want a video to play from the server.
I’m extremely disappointed that Adobe did not provide a sample with the FMS install.
Please Help!
