FMS3: Delay in start of video stream; error

Question

Hi,
We're setting up an FMS3-based video streaming system for a
new website, and have built a player using AS2 (for compatibility
with Flash Player v8) and the FLVPlayback componenent which uses
FMS3's new native bandwidth checking to provide us with a figure
with which we can work out which of 3 streams to play and how long
to buffer before playback. The initial NetConnection connection
happens pretty much instantly and we get the numbers we're looking
for, but it then takes about another 30 seconds before the
FLVPlayback component connects to the server and begins to stream
the video. There doesn't seem to be anything in the logic of the
player to cause this, and when we test on a local deployment of
FMS3 we don't get the problem. Furthermore, we had this player
working nicely with FMS2 on the remote server until recently, when
we upgraded during our development stage. We think the key must be
in the errors we get in the FMS server log:

Mon 09:31:05 AM: Connect : rtmp://OurDomain:1935/OurAppName
- Video begins streaming
The GUIDs are the folder names on our server containing the
media, and appear here because FMS takes the first part of the path
to be the application instance, which has not proved to be a
problem before.
I can't find anything about validating or signing
applications, but I suspect these errors have something to do with
the inexplicable delay before streaming starts. Does anyone know
anything about this?
thanks,
Ben

Answer 1

Are you using Interactive Server(FMIS) or Streaming Server
(FMSS).
I guess that OurAppName is NOT the server-side application
you are using for streaming video as log says that this application
was never loaded on server anyways.
In case you are using Streaming edition, FMSS 3 doesn't allow
user created server-side applications,
