Almost there - one last question
|

| Phil Heinz 2006-01-19, 2:45 am |
| Hi everyone,
I have an Osprey 440 video capture card in a server that has FMS2 installed.
The 4 Osprey ports are present in Camera.names. I have one FMS2 application
defined and I am able to connect rtmp from a remote Flash client using
NetConnection.
After scouring the web all day for information, my questions are simply
these: What does my main.asc file need to be to attach one of the cameras to
a stream that is provided to every connecting client upon connection? And
what CS component would be best for viewing this live surveillance type
video in Flash?
I don't need any data for now, just the video stream.
There seems to be a lot of conflicting info about whether any SS script is
even necessary, but I'm such a neophyte at FMS it's embarrassing!
Thanks for any insight!
Phil

| Hey Phil,
Are you trying to grab the camera directly from your FMS application? If so,
I'm afraid you won't have too much luck. You'll need a flash player instance
to encode the video and send it to the media server. You could certainly do
this on the same machine that FMS is running on, but you'd have to keep that
Flash app open at all times.
If you do already have a flash client encoding the video and sending it to
FMS, you can get away with a very small amount of code in the main.asc file.
See the documentation for application.onConnect
Best,
Jim

| Thank you Jim!
I told you it was embarrassing! That was the last critical hurdle - to
understand that FMS doesn't do any encoding.
I guess I'm left with needing a full-time swf on the server that feeds FMS.
Is there any way to do this at a lower level without the Flash Player?
Thanks again!
Phil
