Let me go with an example. This is the video embed code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>
<div id="container">Loading the player ...</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jwplayer("container").setup({
flashplayer: "jwplayer/player.swf",
file: "bmw/250413/vod.flv",
streamer:'rtmp://216.185.104.75/vod',
autoplay:"true",
icons:"true",
skin:"glow.zip",
controlbar:"over",
height: 270,
width: 480,
image: "images/bmw1.jpg"
});
</script>
And this is the actual page: http://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/webcast/250413/vod.html
Now, what would be the URL of the RTMP stream? I've tried:
rtmp://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://www.24framesdigital.com/bmw/webcast/250413/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://216.185.104.75/vod/bmw/250413/vod.flv
rtmp://216.185.104.75/bmw/250413/vod.flv
...among a few others. None work. I'm using curl to stream/download the video:
curl rtmp://.../vod.flv -o vod.flv
curl -o vod.flv 'rtmp://216.185.104.75/vod playpath=bmw/250413/vod'
