Dear Stefan, many thanks for all your help so far! I can see a worked example of bandwidth detection and subsequent video serving selection in the chapter, however the manual version carries out the bandwidth check but I cannot find the script to then serve the video file required from the server, from the result of the BW check?

best regards

Ed

Dear Stefan, correction to my last, I can see a worked example using the Flvplayback component and SMIL but not when using the manual method?

cheers

my article here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/flvi... is quite old but may help.
This may also be worth watching

Hi Stefan, many thanks for your quick reply. The file bwcheck.asc appears to be the almost the same as main.asc. I have already deployed main.asc and have a file that returns a result. I haven't put the bwcheck in it's own application because of this however it appears to be good practice to do so?

also, could see the mmchats link, kept getting server down message..thanks again

yeah you can just use the bandwidth check logic in your own main.asc, that's fine.
As for the server down- I hadn't checked that link in a while, it may be gone for good... :-/

Can the FLVPlayBack component be used to access the load balanced Origin/Edge server configuration? If I write my code to not use the flvPlayBack and only build players using netConnection and NetStream classes, then it works.

I've found the RTMP protocol checks very helpful. Do you know where I could find the code for this or something similar so we can add protol checking into our site? That simplifies testing if we have a customer that allows RTMP only to our servers. Thanks. Phil
