Author Identifying webcams & mics...

Hi all...

I'm curious if there is a way that my FCS 1.5 server can recognize
when a user connects with a webcam or microphone?? I would like the
server to count how many people are connected with a webcam and how
many are using a microphone. I've not had any difficulty in counting
the number of connected users but is it possible to recognize what
media device each person is using?

Thanks for any advice...

Happy Holidays... dave

You can't do that automatically server side. You need the client file (.s=
wf) to gather this info and send it to the FMS.

Thanks...

Are you therefore suggesting that I store a value when the client
"gets" the webcam or mic and then count these two values on the
server? If so.. is there anything I should be aware of? Normally I'd
create an SO but since I don't want to share the data collected I
guess my head isn't sensing the obvious :-)

Do a client-to-server call, or even better, detect things early and pass
values in your NetConnection.connect call to the server.

Yeah store it in a SO for example. You don't have to share that info, simply
don't allow read or write by any client on the SO. Instead use a nc.call and
then let the server write the value to the SO.

The easiest way would be to loadvars with post the data your client swf
collects to a php/asp script that logs the data into a database.

Perhaps if I created an SO, I could create an array of users and then
display a list back in the client that indicated to everyone, who was
connected by webcam and who was connected by mic.

Has anyone tried this approach?

thanks... dave

Oh, for that reason.. yes that is all you do.. and update the clients
onsync appropriately through an enumeration of the relevant data.

(yes, it works)

Thanks everyone... I appreciate your advice... now I'll see how
smart I am at both counting the media devices and displaying how each
user is connected :-)

Best of the Season... dave
