My end goal is to setup a streaming media server to play videos over the web using HTTP. I followed all of the install instructions and created a HTML file to play the video. Web page here: http://pittspeed.com/media/streetheaters/test.html

I used the code from an example page to try to play the video. Here is what I am using.
Code:
   {
      var o = document.getElementById(player);
      o.EnableFlowControl(false, true);
      o.UseHTTP();
      o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
      o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");

           InitPlayer(player);
      o.Play();
      window.status = "Connecting...";
   }


When I go to the site I am getting an error that the media can not be found. What am I doing wrong here? Everything was installed per instructions on Website. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

It says 404.
You didn't install UHttpProxy on your server computer.

I appreciate your quick response. Check out this screenshot:


It sure looks like I installed UHTTPPRoxy. Now if there is something i did not configure after it was installed then it was my error.

How did you install UHttpProxy, using msi package or manually?
If manually, did you follow the instructions on our FAQ page?

i have the media server and live server configured to stream my webcam.

At the remote computer i tried to connecting using HTTP by calling the url.
http://<websitename>/webcam (the live broadcast alias is "webcam" in media server configuration tool)

but this is not working.

I am using IIS 5.0 on XP prof. The UHttpProxy is also installed. To check i have added a test.html page under the folder Uhttpproxy and I am able to access it on the remote computer. e.g. http://<websitename>/uhttpproxy/test.html

windows firewall is disabled as well.

so what am I missing?? can anyone help me???
thanks in advance

Try changing this:

o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");



to this (if 'E-3.1' is a folder):

o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\E-3.1\AutoPalace.wmv");



or this if 'E-3.1' is NOT a folder but part of the Autopalace.wmv filename:

o.UseHTTP();
o.UseMediaServer("www.pittspeed.com");
o.UseFile("StreetHeaters\\Season3\E-3.1AutoPalace.wmv");

the only place there should be 2 slashes (ie. '\\') is directly after the media server name for the usefile command.

Let me know if this helps

It works from my PC. Kelly looks hot! Ha. So what did you do to fix it?
And ADMIN. If I click on whitey's link, my Firefox resizes to the Umedia player size. Still with all the tabs at the top. And if I click on those tabs, the size of the Firefox window stays small. I have to resize it. Maybe this is what Adriana was talking about on a different post. That's very annoying.
When I embed the player in an html webpage I use TCP instead of HTTP and neither the Firefox, nor IE window change in size. What are they doing wrong? Or is this what using the HTTP protocol does to a Umedia webpage. Never used HTTP for broadcasts, so I'm not familiar.

And I don't use IIS. Couldn't get the Channel Changer to work, so I had no need for it. I use Apache for web hosting with TCP Umedia code embedded in the pages. Plus when I activate IIS I get a lot of hacker attacks in my application event logs.

What would be the advantage of using HTTP over TCP, except corporate firewalls? Am I missing something? (don't remind me of how much I missed already).
