You are correct it is the IP address of the router you use in the RTMP string and then this gets forwarded on to the loacl machine via the port forwarding you set up in the router.

I have it working kind of, although it appears to be hit and miss.

I had a friend test it who said it worked, and the my brother tested it who lives in Switzerland and all he got was the buffer bar.

Can you drop me an email and I will send you the link to the page, just so you can have a look.

Thanks,

“it shows the same IP address for both the server and the pc on my network”???

They are the same (unless you have more than one pc on your network)??

Do you mean to say your router IP is the same as your pc IP? If so, I can’t help you because I don’t even understand how that can be.

If they are not the same, try using which ever one you are not currently having a problem with.

Anything past that I don’t think I can be of much help as I am not a network specialist.

When I did it, I used my router IP (my router forwarded to my FMS port )and had other people view my streaming media from other computers all over the country (USA). So I know it works.

Let me know what happens after you try both IP addresses.

It’s the IP address the router is using that is in the rtmp path.

If I go to http://whatsmyip.org/ it shows the same ip address for both the sever and the pc on my network.

So the port forwarding on the router points to the servers local ip address on my network.

Is this right…..does it make any sense lol?

Thanks,

I have this set up and working, but I have the problem where no one else can see the video.

I have used the servers public IP address in the RTMP path, but only I can can watch the video.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave.
