Thanks

Hi Elshorbagy,
Do you want to send/upload a video stream to FMS Server from Flash Lite? If this is the case, than i am afraid that it may be not possible in Flash Lite.

Yes, I want to send video to FMS server. This is not possible even with API Bridge?

This is not possible even with API Bridge?

Good point.API Bridge does support uploading files but it doesn't support streaming .However, i am sure that it is possible to do it in Symbian C++ and you can create a plugin for API Bridge in Symbian C++ that provides this functionality .

Is there is any open source plugins for API Bridge in Symbian C++ ??

and one more question Is RTMP streaming is possible with Symbian C++??

Very Urgent!!!

Thanks in advance

Good day Prasad?

Do you want to stream to the mobile phone, or capture video from the phone and stream; you know as though the phone was the video camera? I have an application which captures a live camera stream, encodes via FME2 and streams live as RTMP. I am on Red5 though, as Wowza kept dropping streams and FMS is quite expensive. Red5 has a lot of sample flash apps which you can quickly customize. Hope this helped

Hi Seth,

Thanks for your Answer.

I Need to Capture video from my phone camera and stream the video to Server(Red5 or FMS). I am basically a flash lite developer. I am new to Symbian C++.

How to convert the captured video to RTMP Stream using Symbian C++?

And how to send the stream to Server using Symbian C++?

Any one share the sample code snippets it will be great help to me.

Thanks

Hey?

Okay I don't know about Symbian C++ either but perhaps that isn't the challenge. Firstly the captured video stream will be sent to an encoder e.g. FME which feeds it to a media server, then this is disseminated to remote viewers. Now the challenge lies in sending the video stream from your mobile phone to an encoder, it gets even more challenging as you want to stream live content.

How about you write a video broadcaster application targetting flash lite 3.0 and higher, have the broadcast stream sent to a specific folder in a computer which you will specify via an IP address; be sure to have FME running on the same PC, then simply configure FME to pick the broadcast stream from the folder. Wowza and Red5 have a couple of sample applications which you can easily customize for Flash Lite.

That's just my take on how you'd go about this problem. I haven't tried it so don't know if it can actually work. Regards
