learning about rtmFp ... do I no longer need FMS?

hello;

currently I have a video chat app:

-swf running in flash player client

---> publishes webcam-generated stream to FMS

-----> FMS has an SSAS framework that does a lot of stuff: php/mysql stuff, filesystem stuff, client management stuff

-------> another client plays the stream

of course FMS is expensive, particularly the bandwidth consumed by the audio/video.

is rtmFp an alternative?

thanks,

Shannon

rtmfp would certainly help you on reducing your bandwidth expenses but you cannot do away with FMS - you will still require FMS.

Inspiring

so the I understand it:

- FMS is still needed to establish the connection between clients

- but AFTER that the clients do ALL the streaming ( audio/video )

- other data like SharedObjects, chat text, etc STILL USE FMS??

also FMS ssas must be in AS3?

does this sound correct?

thanks,

Shannon

FMS is still needed to establish the connection between clients

- If its IP muliticast, its serverless. But if its P2P or Application Level Multicast - you need FMS

but AFTER that the clients do ALL the streaming ( audio/video )

- Yes - i mean data flows through clients and not server way

ther data like SharedObjects, chat text, etc STILL USE FMS??

- Yes

also FMS ssas must be in AS3?

- Not yet - it uses still AS1
