Streaming Problem with XML file

[ChunkyLover]

I followed the tutorial and videos for streaming onto justin.tv. I created the XML file correctly and saved it as unicode, but when i run justin.bat in the command prompt, I get the error, "The profile selected is not a valid XML file." I tried to search for this problem, but couldn't come up with anything. If anybody here can offer some insight that would be great. Thanks

Is your XML a true XML and not a .xml.txt?

[ChunkyLover]

When I run the "dir" command in the command prompt it says I have a justin.bat and a justin.xml, they are not justin.bat.txt and justin.xml.txt. Under type of file in my windows user interface it says it is an "XML Document."

[Nghtmr9999]

Alright then. Post your bat file and we'll see if the issue lies in there. This sounds like an issue with the bat file.

Be sure the .bat is not unicode and is a true batch file

[ChunkyLover]

This is the line I have in my .bat file.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flash Media Encoder 2.5\FMEcmd.exe" /p c:\fme\justin.xml

I believe it is a true batch file.

Double check Does it say "batch file" when you look at it in windows explorer?

As for your bat, be sure the path is correct.

[ChunkyLover]

When I look at it in windows explorer it says it is a "Windows Batch File"

And yes the path is correct to the XML and the FMEcmd file.

[Nghtmr9999]

I see. Well, you .bat looks correct so lets move on to your XML. Be sure all tags are closed properly and are spelled correctly.

Feel free to post the XML here as well. Be sure to edit out your Stream ID though

I have never actually streamed before though, so I just tried my best to follow the tutorial.

Did you copy all of your XML file? you are missing a couple lines at the end
