DVR with FLVPlayback 2.5

Hi,

I'm creating an application in Flex that needs to use the DVR capabilities of FMS 3.5, ideally I would like to do this using the FLVPlayback 2.5 component, however I'm struggling to find any tutorials or info on this, I was wondering is someone could point me to one.

I heard that I need the DVRCast application to do this, but this hasn't been released yet, I was wondering if I could get a rough idea of when this is going to be released?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance.

    You do need the server-side DVRCast application to record DVR streams with Flash Media Live Encoder 3 and play them back with FLVPlayback component 2.5. I don't know when DVRCast will be released, but I can't imagine it'll be too much longer .

    You can also build your own client-side apps for DVR capture and playback. (You don't need a server-side app for DVR, it just gives you more control.) The FMS docs have the "hello world" of DVR apps: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fms_dvr_en. There's also an article about DVR in the FMS Developer Center: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/live_dvr_pt1.html.

    Hope those tide you over,

    You can now download an update to FLVPlayback 2.5 (v2.5.0.15) from http://www.adobe.com/go/fms_tools/

    We have also released DVRCast which will enable DVR functions within FLVPlayback and within Flash Media Live Encoder.
