Question about NetConnection and RTMP / RTMPT connectionsWWell

Well hello again there FMS forums!

My problem:

I'm building a video chat application and I have a mate behind a firewall who is unable to connect when using RTMP, however if I change the net-connection url to use the RTMPT protocol he's able to connect.

The question:

Does flash automagically switch to RTMPT if it can't establish a connection over a regular RTMP connection?  Or will I need to come up with a way of doing that myself?

I'm currently working under the assumption that Flash first tries RTMP and if that doesn't connect it tries RTMPT... but again, that's not connecting for my friend unless I specifically set it as the url.

Thanks again!

    I don't think so it is bandwidth issue. I was actually updating my previous post but somehow it did not get updated.

    You can also look at this post : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633753?tstart=30 - might be helpful too.

    I would suggest you make connection with port 1935 specified and see if you get faster response, if you get rejected or failed - you can try rtmpt directly - i mean this would save delay

    So i would suggest you make connection with port 1935 specified , in that case i don't think Flash Player would try to do port scanning( though I am not 100% sure) - so if this returns directly as rejected or failed, you can try "rtmpt" - i mean this might save delay.

    Flash Player actually does that. It tries with rtmp and then falls back to rtmpt. But probably its taking more time for your friend. Does he get NetConnection.Connect.Failed ?

    Thanks SE!  I bet that's what's happening.

    Hmm... If it's taking too long to connect does that mean that his connection probably wouldn't support necessary the bandwidth for a video chat? 

    Or is that just wishful thinking?
