Question

playing h.264 encoded video from external source

A couple crazy questions:
1) If I have a live h.264 video stream packed into an MPEG4 transport stream, can I get a Flash player to play it? (I can't even find a prompt in the Adobe/AIR Player to type in the URL except for the RSS Feed under favorites) It's currently a UPD multicast live video stream that we create. I don't mind running it thru a Flash Media Server to have it wrapped into additional protocols.
2) Can I transcode this transport stream using a Flash Media Server to a Flash transport stream without decoding the h.264 video stream it contains? How about if I decode it from its transport stream myself and just feed the encoded h.264 stream to the Flash Media Server?

    1. Not directly. You'd need to deliver the live video to the flashplayer either as an RTMP stream, or as an HTTP resource.

    2. No. FMS cannot transcode anything. It's bits in, bits out. If you have (or plan to develop) an RTMP publishing client that will accept your h.264 encoded stream as the source, then yes, FMS could ingest the stream and allow clients to subscribe to it.
