Question

I have to play live streaming, which uses RTMP protocol and I want to hide my actual IP with a subdomain of my website.

I have an IP i.e 46.x.x.x and when i use code give below, It works:

<object width="550" height="400" data="http://www.hdwebplayer.com/standalone-demo/components/com_webplayer/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param value="http://www.hdwebplayer.com/standalone-demo/components/com_webplayer/player.swf" name="movie">
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
    <param value="&amp;stretch=uniform&amp;type=rtmp&amp;streamer=rtmp://46.x.x.x/live&amp;video=mychannel&amp;duration=9999&amp;autoStart=true" name="flashvars">
<param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess">
</object>

but when I try to access it using subdomain e.g. test.mysite.com at place of ip address, it does not works.

Code i Tried is:

<object width="550" height="400" data="http://www.hdwebplayer.com/standalone-demo/components/com_webplayer/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param value="http://www.hdwebplayer.com/standalone-demo/components/com_webplayer/player.swf" name="movie">
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
    <param value="&amp;stretch=uniform&amp;type=rtmp&amp;streamer=rtmp://test.mysite.com/live&amp;video=<?php echo $ch; ?>&amp;duration=9999&amp;autoStart=true" name="flashvars">
<param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess">
</object>

I know that I have to change some apache configurations some where. But I dont know what code has to be written and in wich file (This aricle suggested, this does not work in .htaccess)

So can anybody help me…

Answer 1

You need to change your DNS setting to make test.mysite.com point to 46.xx.xx.xx instead of to your apache webserver.

(Note that you can therefor not use test.example.com to serve webpages too. In other words; test.example.com should be an unused subdomain.)
