Question

RTMFP Protrocol in Flash Player 10.x is not compatible with Flash Player 11.x when using video strea

I have a swc plugin embedded in my product to stream live video to a group of recipients.

The plugin uses the NetStream, NetGroup and NetConnection objects, the server I use to handle the RTMFP session is Influxis.

One client creates a group as a publisher, and stream a live video.

His Camera is enabled and I can see the video on the screen as well. The others connect to his group and play the video.

Peer assisted Networking is enabled for both the publisher and the recipients.

The plugin worked well in all 10.x versions (10.1/10.2/10.3)

However, when upgrading to flash player 11.x, it stopped working.

11.x to 11.x isn't working.

10.x with 11.x isn't working.

only 10.x to 10.x is working.

The server I use to handle the RTMFP protocol is Influxis.com I sent them the same question as well.

The weirdest fact is that I'm using flash builder 4.6 with 4.6 sdk, which is aimed for flash player 11.1, and it is only working with 10.x flash players.

I'd appreciate any light you can shed on this.

Thank you,

Amit

    We are using the rtmfp protocol to open a group connection,

    using a NetGroup, where each client streams each own video and listen to others.

    I've retried streaming between a flash player 10.3 and 11.1, it didn't work.

    This involved opening 2 netgroup on each client, where one publishes and one plays the other.

    Example:

    Client 1 publishes stream "a" and plays "b" using flash player 10.3

    Client 2 publishes stream "b" and plays "a" using flash player 11.1

    Moreover, the plugin crashes on the client machines.

    One more detail: the video stream width is 80, the height is 60.

    Please advice.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Thanks for trying RTMFP.

    There should not be any problem with the Flash Player Version with RTMFP. Netgroups work good on FP 11.x. Please make sure the swc you are loading is indeed ready for FP 11.
