Changing from Flowplayer to Jwplayer - Could not connect to server

Question

I'm trying to change over from flowplayer (current code below)

flowplayer("player", "http://churchwebsite.com/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf", {

    clip: { 
        url: 'livestream',
        live: 'true', 
        provider: 'influxis' 
    },  
    // streaming plugins are configured under the plugins node 
    plugins: {  
        influxis: { 
            url: 'http://churchwebsite.com/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.3.swf', 

            netConnectionUrl:
                'rtmp://stream.s22.cpanelservices.com/somethinglive'

This is what I'm switching to

jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "rtmp://stream.s22.cpanelservices.com/somethinglive",
autostart: true,
controls: true,
height: 600,
width: 800,

Here's the information I have, not sure what to put in where.

rtmp://stream.s22.cpanelservices.com/somethinglive

rtmp://churchwebsite.com/live

I'm using Adobe flash media encoder to stream, and through there it shows

FMS URL: rtmp://stream.s22.cpanelservices.com/somethinglive

Stream: livestream

This is a password protected website, as the pastor does not want the service going out to anyone other than the members. Could you please email me [email protected] I will post the results on here, minus the direct page information — Ryan

A simple example of RTMP streaming:

In the <head> section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jwplayer.js"</script>

In the <body> section:

<div id="#myElement">Loading the player...</div>
<script>
jwplayer("myElement").setup({
    file: "rtmp://example.com/application/mp4:myVideo.mp4",
    image: "/assets/myVideo.jpg",
    height: 360,
    width: 640
});
</script>

This assumes that the three JW Player script files (jwplayer.js. jwplayer.html5.js, and jwplayer.flash.swf) are in the same directory as your index.html. Otherwise, your src attribute needs to point to where you've actually stashed them. All three files need to be together, in any event.

The file attribute for the stream depends upon what, exactly, you're providing. See the JW Player configuration guide: http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1430358-using-rtmp-streaming
