RTMP URLs contain an application and stream name - there is no way to tell from the URL which parts of a path are the stream name and which are the application.
For example with this URL:
Code:
rtmp://cp40359.edgefcs.net/ondemand/fancast/Comcast_CIM_Prod_Fancast_Partner/821/651/COMEDYCENTRAL_COLBERTREPORT_4118.flv
The application is
Code:
rtmp://cp40359.edgefcs.net/ondemand/fancast
and the stream name is
Code:
Comcast_CIM_Prod_Fancast_Partner/821/651/COMEDYCENTRAL_COLBERTREPORT_4118.flv
Most Flash based media players deal with this by trying again and again with different prefixes of the URL until they find the one that works.
