I am trying to set up pseudostreaming of FLV and MP4 files as described here: http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/14702#post-14702 I have it working on my local computer, but not on the discountasp.net server. I have the FLVStreaming.cs file in my App_Code folder. MP4 and FLV files are set to be handled by the ASP.net ISAPI, and there is an httpHandlers in web.config to have the FLVStreaming.cs file do the work of breaking the file into smaller pieces. Finally, I set the MIME type for FLV and MP4 to application/octet-stream. With all this in place, when I try to access an MP4 file via a web browser, I get this error: ""Server Application Unavailable". Again, it works on my local machine, but not on the server. Does anyone know why it might not be working, or possibly have a suggestion for an alternative way of streaming these videos? Note that the solution must be entirely on the server. I cannot convert the MP4s and FLVs to a different format... Thank you.
Have you tried using the Failed Request Tracing in IIS Manager? I'd probably tell you exactly what is causing the problem.
good idea Thanks for the tip. I feel silly, but how does one do that? I found instructions on the web, but when I open IIS7, I don't see the panes they refer to. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725786(WS.10).aspx
Did you enable Failed Request Tracing through the Control Panel? You'll have to go to the CP to the IIS Tools and IIS Manager: https://my.discountasp.net/web-manager/iis7-manager.aspx You can enable it there, then reconnect through IIS Manager and it'll then show up.
