Projectors and Streams...
|

| Simon Lord 2005-10-26, 5:45 pm |
| I have a question about FLV streams and Flash projectors. Using PHP
I can request the browser on the client to not save the cached
files. I have this much working and it's fairly straight forward.
The question though, is how does a projector handle this? I've never
really stopped to think about how the projector deals with its cached
files until now (client wants exe's). I just need to make sure these
cached files don't get stored permanently (for now, forget about
dealing with the crafty buggers that look at the cache while using
the tool).
Thanks.

| LiveDocs says:
Although Flash Player will delete the local copy of the FLV file that it
creates, a copy of the video may persist in the browser's cache directory.
If prevention of caching is required, use Flash Communication Server MX.
But I've found this to work when loading SWF's and FLV's
(video.flv?" + *random*(99999));

| Yeah, except I have the same issues as everyone else when it comes to
FMS and streaming on-demand video to the masses. So I'm not
contemplating that just yet. But I am keeping my eye on Red5 (http://
osflash.org/red5) as it's a viable option for this particular project.
For the time being I'm simply loading an FLV and want to use whatever
options are open to me to prevent caching on the client side.
Thanks for the info.

| But if you are using an EXE projector, Im pretty sure the files wont
be cached, that is a browser feature and running flash in a projector
mode I think nobody is going to cache it.

| Projector based flash movies definitely DO cache files on the hard
drive.. Just not in internet explorer's cache space.
If in doubt, rename an swf file on your webspace to something very
unique, have an swf exe loadmovie it on your pc, then do a file search
for it.
If its rendered, its stored somewhere unless truly streamed.
