I had a problem like this recently Try without the .flv part... you may not need the extension when using Flash Media Server
also check this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=578&threadid=1228512&enterthread=y and this: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00003495.html QUOTE: I recently went through this difficulty with Flash Media Server 2 (not the earlier FCS), in order to get the FLV Playback component to stream videos using FMS2 from another folder not under the default applications folder, you'll need to map a virtual directory by altering "vHost.xml" kept in this location: "Flash Media Server 2/conf/_defaultRoot_/_defaultVHost_/vHost.xml" In "vHost.xml" there is a tag <VirtualDirectory> and under that <Streams>. When you add a virtual directory to FMS2 you should add to the streams tag something like this: <VirtualDirectory> <Streams>bar;C:\streams</Streams> <VirtualDirectory> Then you'll need to add a folder under the default applications directory of FMS (or whatever custom applications directory you're using) with whatever name you choose (say for example "foo"), then make sure you place the main.asc for the FLVPlayback component which ships with Flash 8 in this new folder, you can find this main.asc file in the location given in the doc above. No streams should go in this "foo" folder, and no extra subfolders are needed here, but your streams (in this example) should be located at c:\streams Then when playing back a .flv (called, for example "yourVid.flv") using the FLVPlayback component, the contentPath should be something like this: rtmp://localhost/foo/bar/yourVid.flv FMS connects first to localhost (or whatever IP the streaming server is located), then checks the app name "foo",finding it, it then looks for a virtual mapping, if any, in this case "bar", then finding the path mapped out in the vHost.xml to C:\streams it gets the flv file "yourVid.flv" from the folder c:\streams. END QUOTE YOU WROTE: I can't get the FLVPlayback component to display the streamed videos that are working fine with the MediaPlayback component. For the latter, I use setMedia("rtmp:/LT/myfile.flv") but there is no setMedia command for FLVPlayback, only contentPath, and setting it to the above doesn't work, nor did setting contentPath = "rtmp://<server address>/LT/myfile.flv" or "rtmp://<server address>/LT/stream/_definst_/myfile.flv" -- the video never shows up. Any suggestions?
