Macromedia flash media server 2-managing flash media server ユーザーズマニュアル

Configuration Files

This example maps all streams whose names begin with 

foo/

 to the physical directory c:\data. 

The stream named 

foo/bar

 would map to the physical file c:\data\bar.flv. 

If there is a stream named 

foo/bar/x 

then Flash Media Server first tries to find a virtual 

directory mapping for 

foo/bar

. If there is no virtual directory for 

foo/bar

, Flash Media 

Server then checks for a virtual directory mapping for 

foo.

 Since a virtual directory mapping 

does exist for 

foo

, the stream 

foo.bar

 maps to the file c:\data\bar\x.flv.

Syntax

virtualDirectory;actualDirectory

The 

Streams

 tag allows you to specify a virtual directory for stored stream resources used by 

more than one application. By using a virtual directory, you specify a relative path that points 
to a shared directory that multiple applications can access.

Example

<Streams>common;C:\FlashMediaServer\myApplications\shared/resources\

 

</Streams> 

If the virtual directory you specify does not end with a backward slash, one is added by the 
server. 

Any application that refers to a stream whose path begins with common/

 

will access the item 

in C:\FlashMediaServer\myApplications\shared\resources regardless of the application’s own 
directory structure. If the application VideoConference refers to an item common/video/
recorded/June5 and the application Collaboration refers to common/videorecorded/June5, 
they both point to the same item 

 

C:\FlashMediaServer\myApplications\shared\resources\video\recorded\June5\.

Additional information

This release includes a feature called custom stream delivery, which allows Flash Media Server 
to match the decoding of a recorded stream to the version of Flash Player on the client. 
Custom stream delivery allows an application running on Flash Media Server to switch 
between the Sorenson and On2 CODECs (data COmpressor/DECompressor) without 
changes to the code. 

Custom stream delivery is enabled using a combination of the 

VirtualDirectory

 and 

VirtualKey

 tags, and the

 Client.virtualKey

 and 

Stream.setVirtualPath() 

APIs.

For optimal results:

■

Streams replaying on Flash Players 6 and 7 use the Sorenson technology.

■

Streams replaying on Flash Player 8 use the On2 technology.
