Question

iOS to play H264 encoded by flash player via relay of FMS

Probably this feature is in the next generation of FMS 4.5

However, it is said this can be achieved with some manipulation of files with current FMS. I appreicate your help.

Can we do a 2-way live video session.

UserA(in webpage flashplayerV11 beta: encode using H264) -> Flash Media Server -> UserB at iPhone(either HTML5 or others to play the live video in RTMP/RTMFP)

====

Next step will be the reverse:

UserA(in webpage flashplayerV11 beta: decode using H264) <- Flash Media Server <- UserB at iPhone(either HTML5 or others to publish the live video in RTMP/ RTMFP)

Better to use UDP based.

Seems the HTTP live streaming incurs huge delay 4-8sec; not really working for live video chat sessions.. So how Skype handle this on iOS? with its own encoding/decoding?

    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest in iOS-FMS.

    As of now, FMS cannot deliver to iOS. The scenario you mentioned to stream to iOS is not supported on any RTMP versions or on HTTP.

    But, Stay tuned, we are almos there. Count down has already started

    Right, but the flashplayer isn't going to support an hls compatible audio codec, right? Although the flashplayer is getting h.264 video encoding, it only has asao/speex/g711 audio encoding... so even with the new version of FMIS, you still won't be able to publish from the flashplayer -> FMS -> iOS, correct?
