Question

Doubts about Flash Media Streaming Server

Hi all.

We're thinking about purchasing  the Flash Media Streaming Server Edition and we have some doubts after looking this edition comparision: http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/flashmediaserver/compare/

1.- It says  the streaming edition doesn't have server side play list. Does it mean this version doesn't come with a native application for making playlist on the server side? Could I write an AS application (As I've done with developer edition) to implement server side playlists??

2.- How about the clustering? Could we install an instance of  FMS in several servers to make them work as a cluster?

Thank's in advance. Regards.

Manu.

    1. Yes, you cannot create any server-side playlist basically you cannot write any of your own custom application if you are using Streaming Edition.

    2. If you are talking about configuring few FMS instances as edge - you won't be able to do it using FMSS.

    Thank's for answering

    I hoped it could be possible to use your own applications... In that case, do you know a way to use FMSS to make

    a "real TV" application? It's an essential part of our work and I don't know any other way to achieve it without server side playlists...

    Thank's again. Regards.

    U can do without server-side playlists although u'd need to script it on the client-side manually. FMSS is just a streaming pipe of a prerecorded and preuploaded media. Making a real TV app isn't that hard, just make switching of streams on the client-side instead of the server.
