RTMFP with Flash Media Server

Hi,

I'm trying to get the Cirrus sample application (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/samples/) to work together with the FMS. For my understanding the RTMFP technology is available to the FMS, so it should be no problem to make the example run with a FMS. As I don't have much experience with FMS, I don't know what I am supposed to do, to get it working.

I already managed to get an ID from the FMS for each peer, but it seems that they are not able to connect to each other. Using the Cirrus beta/developer server hosted by Adobe it works without any problem.

Correct answer Michael Thornburgh

the "relay" method is a function specific to Codename Cirrus.  it can be implemented easily on FMS in server-side script. Jozsef Vass (the author of the Cirrus VideoPhoneLabs sample) posted a simple relay function for FMS on the Cirrus forums:

i don't know if that was posted elsewhere or if the VideoPhoneLabs article was updated.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in RTMFP.

Yes, FMS after 4.0 version, supports RTMFP in its full multicast functionalities. The developer key process is meant only for connecting to Cirrus, and when you want to try out RTMFP on your local servers, you do not need it.

Install FMS, and there is a default application 'multicast' that comes along with the installation.

You can use this application for all your multicast trials.

More documentation is @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS7812b00092aae0dc-2829dcd012a54a3ed1a-8000.html

Thank you !

Thank you for your quick response.

Using the multicast appilication I got an error on the FMS saying: "Sending error message: Method not found (relay)."

Obviously the FMS doesn't know the 'relay' method, that the Cirrus example tries to call. What is that method, is there an equivalent to this method? Should it be a "built-in" method or do I have to do some work manually here?
