I can't recall if I used Flowplayer's BaseUrl and Url properties when I configured the URL for Progressive Download. I think BaseUrl was optional (can't recall).
The key point is that you need to send the full absolute URL to SimpleCDN because it's an external link from your app to them.
But it needs to have the prefix like this:
You can also get a CNAME at SimpleCDN which would let you do something like the following. It's described on the Upload Bucket access page where you got the URL for simpleCDN. But using a CNAME is not required...
I am new to working with video though I have many years of experience developing web applications of varying complexity.
I first got Progressive Download to work with my hosting company hosting video than switched to using a CDN - simpleCDN.
I then got the Flowplayer RTMP Streaming Plugin to work with SimpleCDN, see:http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/31582 (the final working code sample is at the bottom of that post).
I then tried to get the Flowplayer Secure Streaming plugin to work with the RTMP plugin with Simple CDN and found out that SimpleCDN will not support Secure Streaming for about 3 weeks from now. See:http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/31658.
I think everyone runs into the same difficulty and frustration with the documentation. I certainly did :> Though everyone in this business knows it really is hard to document a rapidly moving development project.
