Cloudfront and .smil files


This is my html

<div id="myElement"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

jwplayer("myElement").setup({
file: "/streaming/myVideo.smil",
height: 360,
width: 640
});
</script>


This is my smil file

<smil>
<head>
<meta base="rtmp://************.cloudfront.net/cfx/st" />
</head>
<body>
<video src="jos_1280x720.mp4" />
</body>
</smil>

Could not be simpler really but alas it does not work, the video is there and will play if i put the javascript like so. file: "rtmp://************.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/jos_1280x720.mp4" that works just fine however as soon as i ask for playback from an .smil file it simply says 'manafest not found or invalid'

The manifest is in the same directory as the file i'm calling the player from. I've also tried using the full path to the manifest but not joy :(

Thanks

All the best

I got the same error, so i moved the jwplayer files form amazons s3 onto my local server and everything now works. Should have really tried that to start with.

Thanks for all your help :)
