JwPlayer not playing rtmp stream?

Question

i have setup Jwplayer like this in my html under the script tag:

<script type="text/javascript">

         jwplayer("container").setup({
            flashplayer: "js/jwplayer.flash.swf",
            file: "rtmp://localhost:1935/121/mystream.stream",
            height: 270,
            width: 506
             });

    </script>

but it is giving me a error like "No playble source found". But if check my live stream on online jw player,its working fine. And if i use a demo url "http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/lWMJeVvV-364767.mp4" then my player is working fine.I dont know what wrong in this.Please help.

Answer 1

You need to put the player library in the head and the player embed code in the body. You can delete flashplayer: "js/jwplayer.flash.swf", altogether since the JW Player js library will determine whether the .swf file is necessary and include it under the hood.

Answer 2

Is your stream at rtmp://localhost:1935/121/mystream.stream accessible from where you are hosting the web page? Based on the domain (localhost:1935) I would not expect this stream to be accessible by anyone on the internet outside of your local network.
