Publish from Website, consume from web, android web, iOS web

Hello,

I am in the need to find out, if Adobe Media Server 5 is the right product for my purposes .

The circumstances:

I am planing to develop a web portal, where users want to publish their video streams from a web browser and many people want to watch it.

I have tested the AMS Starter Version and came out with the problem, that the demo player does not work on my android device, as that does not support Flash. In addition I found out, that using Flash Media Live Encoder produces a so much better quality of stream, than the demo on the Index.html of AMS5 does, which seems to rely on the configured stream quality.

What I need to know:

• Have i got to program with flash professional myself to setup my own publisher window where people can enter standard options? (Mute or Sound, Quality) Or is there an existing swf which i can give input parameters?
• Security: Only people with a valid "token" shall be able to stream their own stream. How can I handle that with AMS?
• WebPlayer: Is there a player which recognizes if flash is installed or not and switches to a html player in case?

Thank you very much!
