There is just one string for rtmp connection and stream name in JW Player 6. Here is a simple example that includes iOS: ```auto JW Player 6
Loading the player...
``` Also take a look at JW Player setup wizard: [http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw-player/wizard/#rtmp](http://www.longtailvideo.com/jw-player/wizard/#rtmp) Richard
