Hi,

I am new to streaming. Please share your thoughts.

I need to take the some stream which is coming from firewire on mac, and then transcode/encode it to perticular bitrates, then stream.

I think from firewire to FMLE, its straight forward. How can i stream? How can i give my clients ( say from mobile, or from any player as a http url streaming) stream? Do i need to use Flash media server, if yes can anybody point out the steps to set-up the same.

Thanks.

    Can any body reply on this.. i am really stuck.

    Thanks.


    I just replied to your other post - i would really recommend you not to spend more time on player like VLC and MPlayer as they are not standard playback player for rtmp and http streaming from FMS - its always better to have flash based client so please follow other posts where i have given links for other players.

    Check out below links:

    http://fmsguru.com/showtutorial.cfm?tutorialID=25

    You can also check out other articles of above sites - they both have lots of it - i would suggest have look at fmsguru.com - it might be more easier for newbie as Graeme takes care of putting in much simplified manner (i have not read whole of his site - but some of his tutorials and found its quite simple to follow)

    Also for HTTP Streaming , you might want to refer to HTTP Streaming Documentation - i could find link for it though . But you can find whitepaper here : http://www.adobe.com/products/httpdynamicstreaming/pdfs/httpdynamicstreaming_wp_ue.pdf

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply. Those links were very useful.
    But i have FMLE sitting on MAC,  so FMS can't be installed on mac mini. If i installed FMS on Linux/Windows,

    what settings need to be given on FMLE/FMS?

    Can you share your opinion.

    Thanks.

    That should not be a problem - you can follow the tutorials or article as they except that instead of using "localhost" in your server uri's you can use ip of your FMS machine (windows or linux machine) i.e. say you have installed FMS on windows machine which has ip x.y.z.w then your URI would be "rtmp://x.y.z.w/live" in FMLE in Server URI box. I think rest of things mentioned in any tutorials should work as it.
