Question

Recording with local server, Streaming from online server

I am working on a project that involves recording video from a kiosk and streaming (or prog. downloading) it to internet site visitors.

I am thinking of recording the video to a local FMS (conecting via an AIR client with attached mic and camera) and using a file sync process outside of FMS to get the FLVs onto the internet server (probably via FTP).

But I'm curious if there is a better practice or a feature within the FMS product that might offer benefits over this approach.

I expect the videos to be very short (<30 seconds) so streaming the final video is less important.

    Hi David,

    When you record the videos, you can configure FMS to store them anywhere on the computer hosting FMS. You can also configure FMS to store them on a shared drive. Have you checked out the "Configuring Content Storage" docs:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_AdminGuide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2925e64-7fc7.html

    If you want to stream the videos over RTMP, they need to be on FMS or on a shared drive that FMS can access. If you want to serve them over progressive download, you'd need to move the files to a web server. However, FMS 3.5 has a built-in web server. You could configure FMS 3.5 to store the videos under the web server root. In this case, you could server the videos over RTMP or HTTP.

    Hope that helps,
    Jody
