JWPlatform FLV RMTP url's

We have our video's hosted with JWPlatform and need RTMP URL's for some of our FLV videos.

The video's are part of a computer based training course developed in flash. We currently use the direct link for progressive downloads. If the user has a slow connection the video's appear to just freeze. We would like to try to replace them with streaming video's.

I can get the RTMP URL for a mp4 but the course is developed in flash so mp4 won't work.

I can see that our files are hosted at EdgeCast via JWPlatform. Is there a way I can either get the FLV RTMP URL or can I login to EdgeCast directly to get this URL? Or do I have to sign up for an EdgeCast account directly and move my content there?

Thanks,

Mike

If RTMP is enabled on your account, then your RTMP URLs use the following template:

http://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/[video_ID].smil

Please note that the playlist XML used by the JW Platform single-line embed automatically includes an RTMP source, an HLS source, and an MP4 source. The template URL for the playlist is:

http://content.jwplatform.com/jw6/[video_ID].xml

You can also get a JSON feed of the same content from:

http://content.jwplatform.com/feeds/[video_ID].json

Hi Todd,

As previously stated I can get the rmpte stream for the MP4 conversion but I want a stream of the original file (FLV) and not a conversion.

SMIL:
rtmpe://fms.413C.edgecastcdn.net/XXXXXX/content/conversions/XXXX/videos/XXXXXX.mp4?XXXX...

I'm looking for something like:

rtmpe://fms.413C.edgecastcdn.net/XXXXXX/content/original/XXX/videos/XXXXXX.FLV?XXXX...

Thanks

I just heard back from one of the JW Platform engineers. Your FLV should be available as a pass-through but we do not make the FLV available via RTMP, only HTTP.
