Streaming video from a CDN to a flash player?

Question

I was wondering if anyone had the experience of placing video on a CDN and using it to stream to a flash player.

We want to use our existing flash player - JW Player - but the stream is from a CDN (maybe Amazon?).

Has anyone done this before? What statistics (requests, MB, etc.) do you get for each video?

Any advice would be great.

Answer 1

Flash can be transferred from Amazon Cloud Front . You have a detailed guide to help you get up and running quickly.

Since it essentially works as an end-to-end pass for Adobe Flash Media Server (FMS), you get the same functionality, but with the benefit of caching CDN on demand.

They also have a diagnostic client to help you test things, to make sure they work, and to help you understand what is going wrong.
