Testing Flash Media Streaming Dynamically Ingested Content
Note Testing dynamically ingested content for Flash Media Streaming includes cache miss scenarios and live
streaming scenarios. Flash Media Streaming uses RTMP to stream live content by means of dynamic
proxy. Configuration of live or rebroadcast programs is not required. When the first client requests live
streaming content, the stream is created.
Step 1 SSH to NE-DEMO-SE1 and use the show cache content command to verify there is no cached content.
NE-DEMO-SE2# show cache content
Max-cached-entries is set as 3000000
Number of cal cached assets: 0

Step 2 On the client PC, start the Adobe Flash Player.
Step 3 Enter the URL of the flash file in the text box (Figure G-19) and click Go. In the example, this is
“rtmp://rfqdn.cds.com/vod/test_cache.flv.”
The RTMP call is routed to a Service Engine by the Service Router.
The FLV file has been cached on the SEs. The video begins to play.

To view the Flash Media Streaming statistics, enter the show statistics flash-media-streaming
command on the SEs.
There is one concurrent connection on NE-DEMO-SE2, which means there is an active connection to
this SE. The statistics also show a Cache Miss of 1, which means the content was not found on this SE.
