Question

MulticastPlayer sample in FMS4

Anyone, where is the source code for the multicastplayer sample that is located in

<installed directory>\Adobe\Flash Media Server 4\tools\multicast\multicastplayer directory? The StrobeMediaPlayer does not use the same html code and does not playback a rtmfp multicast stream.

This is the code used in the multicast sample player to pass the manifest.f4m file into the player to playback a Multicast Stream which is not used in the StrobeMedia player sample.

var flashvars = {};
            <!-- Add manifest file location e.g. flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m"; -->
            flashvars.manifest = "manifest.f4m";
            <!-- Enable debugging -->
            <!-- flashvars.debug = "true"; -->
            <!-- Adjust buffer time  - default is 4 seconds -->
            <!-- flashvars.bufferTime = "10.0";  

thanks

    Hi gjhdigital,

    The latest (soon to be released) 1.5 version of the Strobe Media Playback does have support for multicast. 

    You can try it out with a link like this:

    http://osmf.org/dev/1.5.rc1/debug.html ?src=your_multicast_f4m_url

    Note that you'll probably also want to check the new Info Overlay that displays Multicast information (activate using right click on the control bar): https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Info%20Overlay/

    Hope this helps,

    Andrian

    Thanks for the update Andrian!

    So I am a little confused then. What is the multicastplayer that ships with FMS 4? Is that based off of the StrobeMedia, Real Eyes or OSMF download located on here:

    also, does the crossdomain.xml need to be placed on the FMS or the server where the player is?
