Air for Android encoding SPARK instead of H264

I have flash application that simply streams video from a camera to a server. The stream should be encoded in H264 and when I publish to a SWF file and use a webcam I can see the connection to the server and see that it is encoding in H264.

However, if I publish to an Android device using AIR for Android, when I publish to the server with the phones camera, the stream comes in encoded in SPARK.

Is there any reason for this? Is it not possible to encode H264 on AIR for Android? Or maybe I am doing something wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello BattleManj ,

If you have any workaround for this problem , could you please share it with me . I need to get rtmp streaming from Flex mobile app to wowza to CDN etc etc . and spark is definitely not running on iOS / HLS player clients .
