Hello,

Currently we have a swf file application that runs in a browser and takes the live video stream from the camera on the computer and streams a live sorenson spark stream to the fms 3.5 server.

Question is:

How to live stream vp6 from the browser/swf file on the camera computer, instead of the sorenson spark. (We seem to be stuck only on sorenson spark).

Thank you.

    You can't publish VP6 from the Flashplayer... the only video encoder present in the flashplayer is Sorenson Spark.

    There is a browser plugin available from On2 that publishes VP6... http://www.on2.com/index.php?402 . Not cheap, and no publishing support for Mac, but it works well.

    Hi,

    Thanks, I did take a look at their website. Was not sure if this is the only solutions. But I guess it is....

    Does this plugin require any new programming to the swf file to make it work?

    Or is it just downloading the plugin and it works?

    Thank you,

    V.

    The plugin is completely independant of  the flashplayer. You use javascript to install and configure the plugin, and the plugin makes its own connection to FMS.
