Two simple questions: FMSS v/s FMIS functionality

Folks,

I've looked around the site for quite a while now, and the differences between FMSS and FMIS are often very blurred, so I have some direct questions regarding capabilities and which version of FMSS I need.

1. Is FMSS capable of incorporating custom players or does that require FMIS?

2. Is FMSS capable of prompting for authentication (standard Username/Password) before starting a stream or does that require FMIS?

We're just now getting to a point of purchasing our server, but putting requirements to one of the two products is proving difficult.

Many thanks for folks helping out a noob.

    Among other things, the most notable difference is that FMSS version cannot use custom server-side scripting e.g. the main.asc file. it comes with "Adobe signed" ready to run Live & VOD services/apps which cannot be modified.

    - FMSS will support custom player/client swf as long as your custom client doesn't require any special support from server-side logic.

    - FMSS may not help with prompting for authentication, however , I guess it. should be feasible using workarounds like
    - swf authentication
    - and making your swf to do authentication using other servers over http/ php scripts.
