Edgecast RTMP stream URLs

Question

Edgecast RTMP URLs are as follows:

rtmp://abc.edgecast.com/a_folder/b_folder/mp4:astream.mp4

Cloudfront though mandates it as follows:

rtmp://abc.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/mp4:a_folder/b_folder/a_stream.mp4

mp4 should precede the user folder structure.

Is this CDN specific? Can edgecast do:

rtmp://abc.edgecast.com/mp4:a_folder/b_folder/astream.mp4

Answer 1

No, media identifier should before the stream/file name. The first one is correct. To my knowledge, it is not CDN specific, that's how the player(s) expect them.
