I would be aiming for a flash/flex client as an end result, but maybe some very simple HTML pages for a quick result for some of the lesser used or non-end-user facing functions. I probably won't be seriously starting anything for a couple months, and I know a couple of the Red5 guys, so I'll get in contact with them when it gets closer.
I'm definitely in the exploratory mode right now. What's out there, how might people use it, etc. If I could find enough ready-made components before I start that a working prototype is a caffeine induced weekend away, I'd consider that a success. -Marc On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 12:36 PM, henrik weber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi marc, > > this looks interesting :) i absolutely understand why you mentioned this > java-solution. > do you plan to use this as a web-service you can call from flex/flash or > what are your > plans regarding it? > would be nice to hear how your experiences look like concerning the api > they mention > on their site... might even become handy for the red5 guys around here; or > does red5 > already has something like this? don't know about this detail... > > anyhow good luck with your project! :) > henrik > > > > Marc Hughes wrote: > Someone sent me this... > > http://kasai.manentiasoftware.com/ > > It's the authentication/permissions piece of a project. > > It looks like the best starting point so far.
