Flash Interactive Media Server seems to be an amazing product, but is it all just hype?

I see plenty of tutorials and scenarios on how to grab the video from a flash player and stream it.

But would I would like to see are content management systems that tie into fms.

Does anyone have any suggestions or samples of doing such a thing?

Thank you for your time,

    Personally, I'd recommend using Drupal as a CMS.  They have both an amfphp module and a video module.  There's also a great book out called Flash With Drupal, that I'd highly recommend obtaining as it goes over the video service in detail.

    FMIS (the interactive edition) is capable of communicating with most http services. Assuming your CMS has an HTTP service exposes the required methods, your FMS application can consume data from and post data to that service.

    There are a number of options... LoadVars for http get/post, XML.send/load/sendAndLoad, SOAP, XML Sockets, and NetServices for remoting. The best option depends on what your CMS supports (or what you plan to make it support)

    If you can clue me in what the existing CMS supports (what services it exposes), I can make some suggestions.

    there isn't a cms in place yet.

    Right now I have the FMIS running and serving up videos through the sample video player and a basic html file.

    I was kind of hoping to find a system available that "just works" with fmis.

    But as far as possibilities, I'm thinking about joomla or drupal.

    Thanks for your help!

    Well... it does "just work", but it doesn't happen automatically. You're going to need to write some server side code to handle the negotiations with the webservice.

    I haven't worked with it myself, but my understanding is that there's an AMFPHP module for Drupal. That said, I don't know if the Drupal module includes prefabricated services... you might have better luck finding that info on a Drupal forum.
