title: How to play Brightcove RTMP URLs on JWPlayer?
body: <p>I am trying to implement the dynamic RTMP streaming supported by <a href="http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1430398-dynamic-rtmp-streaming" rel="nofollow noreferrer">JWPplayer</a> and <a href="http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/using-multi-bitrate-streaming" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Brightcove</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using the <a href="http://docs.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/media/samples/find_video_by_id.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">find_video_by_id</a> method to get a JSON package with the available RTMP streams, you can get an example by selecting the renditions field in <a href="http://docs.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/media/samples/find_video_by_id.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this sample</a>. Basically any of the URLs will look like the one bellow but won't reproduce in the player (I am testing with JWPlayer and VLC).</p>
  
  <pre><code>rtmp://brightcove.fcod.llnwd.net/a500/e1/uds/rtmp/ondemand/&amp;mp4:1937897674001/1937897674001_2790025682001_Sea-Crab.mp4&amp;1415984400000&amp;ed8715a655417a4c5d8db202bc3cb926
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The MP4 URL for the same rendition however, can be played without issues.</p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have read <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/thread/670758?tstart=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/249558/rtmp-stream-from-brightcove">there</a> that this might be due to access restrictions but it doesn't make sense that Brightcove would provide the RTMP URLs if they can't be used. Also the videos are owned, uploaded and consumed by us and we are using the API keys provided by BC to fetch them.</p>
