Communicating with a flash server using rtmp without Flash

Best Flash Audio/Video + Interactivity server?

I'm looking for suggestions on Flash realtime servers. Currently, we use a combination of Moock's Unity and Red5, but there are a couple problems. First, we are moving to AS3, and Unity only supports AS2. Secondly, Red5 is pretty flaky for us, we'd prefer something more stable. We can't use the official Flash Media Server, it's a bit out...

.net http handler redirect to rtmp and flex

I have an http handler (.ashx) that I use to display an image or swf or flv based on the id. So, for instance http://www.mysite.com/myHandler.ashx?id=1234 displays the image for id 1234.

rtmp and adobe media player

We have acquired hosting of a Flash Media Server for prototyping, and we are trying to stream videos using Adobe Media Player.

We already have pre-existin...

Preventing progressive download of mp3?

I'm looking for some solutions for creating an mp3 player in flash; one that either uses streaming or some kind of obfuscation to prevent users from downloading the source mp3.

RTMP Stream Bitrate alternatives

Which bit rates would you assign as normal and high based on a HD-H.264 RTMP stream considering exclusively broadband connections (using a progressive stream fallback for slower connections) ?

Error streaming high quality FLV over RTMP with Red5

I'm rather new to the FLV streaming/Red5 scene and have found that for some reason I cannot playback FLV files encoded above a certain quality using the oflaDemo. I've encoded the FLV files from h264 to Sorenson Spark using ffmpeg. It works using -qscale 31, but anything much higher (the number seems to change between different movies) r...

RTSP in Flex

We are currently working on a Flex application that needs to connect to a set a traffic detection cameras via RTSP.

NetConnect fails silently in Flash when called from SilverLight

This is a complex question, because there are a lot of moving parts. My apologies in advance. I'm trying to write a Silverlight control that hosts a Flash camera and microphone (since Silverlight doesn't support these things natively, worse luck). I've written a short little Flex application ("WLocalWebCam.swf") which handles the came...

I would like to download the Remote SharedObject from an FMS server through RTMP

Publish webcam feed to Flash Media Server

I have a fairly high-end webcam (snc-rz25n) that I need to rebroadcast using the Flash Media Server. I can get the picture as MPEG-4 (not h.264). So I need to transcode to h.264 and publish at multiple bitrates to FMS. The only solution I have been able to come up with thus far is to transcode the stream using ffmpeg and then also use f...
