Question

I want to setup a webcam system which can stream to html5 (iPHone,Ipad) and flash (browser).

No I have installed fms4.5, but I can't find good docs how to set something like this up. In Learning section I saw a lesson, but this one isn't ready.

Does someone have a basic setup for me.

So I want to publish using flash and the subscribers to the livestream can be iPhones or Browsers.

Can someone direct me in the right direction. I have tried different urls, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Yes I need the audio also. I really don't know why it is always so difficult to get things started with 3rd party software. Is this a license issue or?

    Are there any future plans to change the audio codec in Flash Player 11? It can playback after all, even if the sampling rate is low, I will not mind #

    This will solve a few peoples issues.

    What I want is the following.

    I wan to make a subscription client which can subscribe to FMS 4.5 to watch live webcams. This client can be on an iPhone or on a desktop or whatever. This could be a video tag or in the flash player.

    I also want to make a publishing client which is in flash player and on a desktop.

    Is this possible? I want to setup a webcam community which is mainly on a desktop. But I also want to have the opportunity to stream to an iphone or an ipad (mobile version) only .

    Subscribing should not be problem - the problem is publishing part - since Flash Player cannot publish H.264/AAC streams. If you Video-only (without any audio) - then it would work - but i dont think so that's the case - i am assuming you want both right?

    You mean in Flash Player? I don't think so. If you are ok using other encoding solutions - you can try FMLE on Mac.

    I publish using the latest flash player. But I don't know if I can set it to publish H.264 or if it does it automatically.

    But as I read from you reply. At the moment it isn't possible to publish using the latest flash player and subscribe using an iPhone, because the sound isn't published right? Am I correct?

    It would publish audio only in "nellymoser" or "speex" codec - both of which are not supported by Apple HTTP Streaming.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your interest in FMS 4.5

    Streaming to iPad/iPhone (called HTTP Live Streaming) can be easily setup out of the box on FMS 4.5. Complete documentation for the server side steps is @ http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WSeb6b7485f9649bf23d103e5512e08f3a338-8000.html

    For making a quick sample player that can work for all platforms, the recommended option is Strobe Media Player for Flash based clients and HTML5 for iPad.
    An easy integration is given by videJS @ http://videojs.com/

    Hope the resources fit your case. Thank you !

    I created the client in flash pro cs3. Now i publsh the stream using my own build flash client and if the subscriber uses an iphone it wants to download a playlst m3u8 instead of playing it. What can go wrong?

    Did you use the videoJS player on iOS or just the browser ? When you mentioned playlist m3u8 , i guess you are referring to the HLS streams that FMS-Apache pushes to iOS.
