Hello Everyone,

I have been working on Flex for a long time now , i am working on some stuff which needs to play audio/video contents on video player.

as a static files be it flv's or mp3's i could play them easily and so on the rtmp.

but is there any way i could stream dynamic content (audio/video) which are not FLV's or which are not on rtmp.

I guess the Flash Media Server does help changing such streams to convert it to play it in FLash PLayer.

but my question is , is there any way we could play dynamic streams in Flash player without using Flash Media Server.

I feel the answer for it is NO, but am just not sure so , I hope the experts here answer and make it sure for me.

Thanks, and i appreciate any help.

    You can use a webserver to view audio/video using 'http'. Even then your video player should support the media format which you are trying to play. With http request, which is a progressive download, you will miss out on all the benefits of streaming server which is provided by rtmp in FMS.
