Mobile enabling an video interactive streaming application
Background
- We have a video streaming application that uses FMS 4.5
- The encoding is done through action script code. This code also interacts with other components of the system through ActionScript – Javascript bridge that we have written.
- Basically, it is an interactive application wherein the web components (HTML / PHP / Javascript) can interact with the video component (Actionscript). We have used cue points and DVR functionality to build the various features of the application.
Current problem
- We now want to extend the application to mobile devices.
- We are able to transmit a live video to the livepkgr application and watch it over a mobile app. Basically, we were able to do HDS/HLS using the documentation available on the Adobe site
- However, the problem is our original application connects to the “live” application on FMS and not livepkgr. If we try to make the same RTMP connection to livepkgr instead of live, it obviously does not work completely. I would appreciate if you could help me out on this.
- Another problem is that due to the interactive nature of the application, we cannot use CDN’s and hence scaling up has become a huge issue. I would also like to know if there is any help that we can get on that front.
