Play a Transport Stream

Multicast Transport stream playback is defined on the Transport Stream Out page. When
viewing a multicast stream, use a player like VLC to tune in to the stream via a URL similar to
the following. (In Vbrick StreamPlayer, just use the multicast IP address and port number.)
udp://@<multicast_ip_address>:<port>
Alternatively you can play a transport stream via a "served unicast." You will need a player,
like VLC or StreamPlayer, that supports delivery of transport stream via RTSP. The
recommended RTSP URL for live playback is:
rtsp://<source_dme_ip_address:port>/ts/<stream_name>
The recommended URL for stored playback is:
rtsp://<source_dme_ip_address:port>/ts/<filename>
The port is required even if not changed from the default (5544). If necessary see Out-2 >
Serve TS via RTSP for alternative URLs.

Play a Stream with a Flash Client

You can play live or stored RTMP or HDS streams from any Flash server including the DME
by downloading and installing a desktop Flash player. You can also can embed the player in a
Web page that will invoke a Flash plugin. Adobe, Long Tail and others have resources on the
Web explaining how to embed a Flash player in a Web page.
See http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/13/embedding-flash for a good
example.
To play live streams from a DME on a Flash client using RTMP you will use a URL similar to
the following:
rtmp://<dme_ip_address>/live/<stream_name>
To play stored streams from a DME on a Flash client using RTMP you will use a URL similar
to the following:
rtmp://<dme_ip_address>/vod/<filename>
A port number is not required, unless the default port (1935) has been changed.
HDS streams can be played directly from the source DME or a local DME via caching. Use
the local DME name if it is configured to cache from the source.
To play live non-adaptive HDS streams on a Flash client you will use a URL similar to the
following:
http://<dme_ip_address>/HDS/<stream_name>/manifest.f4m
To play live adaptive HDS streams on a Flash client you will use a URL similar to the
