Question

Help! No idea what products we need...

Ok, I've got an online IP forum which also sells forum based workshops. We are now including video in our online workshops and would like to find a solution to embed the videos in those areas to the forum where the user has paid for access.

We would also like to display 'how to' type videos where anyone can see in forum posts.

We would like it to have the option to expand into full screen.

None of these videos are 'live' so they are all prerecorded. I'm also thinking that it would be nice to 'host' the videos elsewhere if possible as they likely take up alot of space. We have machighway hosting which isn't a huge amount of space and they state that they don't allow 'quicktime streaming' which makes me wonder if they will block us from any other type of streaming.

I was directed to adobes server products but I am completely lost at what I would need or what they are even. I'd like a really simple plug/play solution in a perfect world but the more I look around the less likely this seems possible

Thanks for any help or insight!

    Designing a client side requirement like full screen video, video embedding all sort of things are not part of FMS. Though a good webdesigner or flash expert can do all this for you..

    FMS solves other part of your problem, for example pre-recorded video streaming. You may either use RTMP (stick to flash player as client) or HTTP ( can be used for viweing on iOS, Flash based devices)..

    I recommend you first try the developer edition of the FMS to get the feel how it can streaming your videos on RTMP or HTTP.. This is free edition with some restricted access on number of clients or viewing time.. Just video streaming will work out of box for you..

    1. Jjust install FMS.

    2. Keep you videos inside Applications/vod/media for RTMP or webroot/vod for HTTP

    3. You may use the video player that comes with FMS (within sample/videoplayer) to play these videos..

    You may then think of developing some client application/website like sample video player which can play your videos..
