Hello,

When I am using Test Players with Adobe RTMP I have a message “Connection failed: Try rtmp://[server-ip-address]/live” after a few seconds. I used a stream that I have created in Stream Files . It is located in folder “Content”.

Have you started the stream? In the Engine Manager, go to Applications \> Live \> Stream Files and click the first icon “Connect to this stream” behind the stream file. Once it’s started, you should see it under Incoming Streams. Also make sure that port 1935 is open on any firewalls (assumed that you have not changed the port in the VHost settings)
