Hi,


I am using flash media server for streaming video/chat etc on my web application using flex application.

I want to add same functionality (video/chat) for android application to communicate with web application using flash media server.

As for android device there are lot many limitations/issues (screen size, bandwidth, etc..).

Please suggest.

    I had got this data once from someone working in Android team here:

    The following video formats are mobile optimized :

    VideoH264 Baseline 480x320 3.0 with 30 fps

    VideoH264 Baseline 480x320 3.1 with 30 fps

    VideoH264 Baseline 640x480 3.0 with 30 fps

    VideoH264 Baseline 640x480 3.1 with 30 fps

    I will try to get more info if possible , it would be nice if you can ask specific queries which i can forward to right person here.

    Thanks for the reply....

    Well I have an application created in flex. The size of flash is 1024*768. ...

    In this application there is canvas where a user can draw shapes, this is reflacted to other related user.... and also there is option of text and video chat.

    For this I am using flash media server for streaming....

    I just want to create same feature for android device.....

    But the screen resolution is the major issue....

    I created android native application using java.. and tried to get connected to FMS. but not get sucess...

    I also tried it using the webview (loading the flash in webview) in android native application but the issue is screen resolution.

    And also the issue with flash is that it can not be resizable...

    Please suggest how to overcome from this issue....

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Are you trying to make an air app or a web application (flash) for streaming? You may want to check out the osmf framework to help you write a player for mobile platform. Check out http://www.opensourcemediaframework.com/ for more info on how you can write streaming video players using this framework. There are some good tutorials there and also you may post on the forum to get your specific queries solved.
