Chat with FMSS 3.5? Is it possible?

Hello All,

I was browsing this forum and came across a thread about adding chat to FMS where a forum member posted this link:

https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/components.html

I am considering purchasing FMSS (can't afford FMIS) and read the text in that link and saw a chat component listed.

Will this work with FMSS 3.5? This would be perfect for what I'm doing.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

wordman

    If you opt for FMSS then you'd need to move the chat (text only) to some other http-related service (PHP, ColdFusion, etc.) since this version of media server supports only serving media files to the public.

    Petro,

    Thank you for the clarification. The confusing part still is that the article in that link says 'Flash Media Server 2 Components' So in spite of that, FMSS 3.5 can't use this?

    Thanks!

    No, like I said, FMSS (3-3.5) is used for pretty much only serving precorded/live media. Check this doc here, it gives a rather deep explanation of who is who regarding editions.

    Tip: if that answers your question then mark this thread as answered or helpful.
