Hi,
I am working on a Flash app that will stream video from ffmpeg +
ffserver instead of connecting directly to the webcam - mainly because
the app is on a touchscreen and it is near impossible to get Flash to
select the correct one of 2 webcams automatically (Have you tried using
the "system settings" dialog on a touchscreen @1280 x 1024?). Also,
Flashplayer does not share the device once it has connected...
Anyway, I have the streaming server up and running and was able to
run my Flash App on a remote client Windows PC and view the video stream.
When I put the app on the Linux box and run it with the standalone
player, it hangs when I make the call to NetStream.play with the URL of
the video stream.
The funny thing is that the application only hangs when ffserver +
ffmpeg is running. If there is no stream, it carries on...
Is there a sandbox / security restriction for playing FLV's from a
streaming server in Flash - i.e. is it looking for a crossdomain file on
the server port that I am connecting to or something different. On
Windows I was testing in the IDE, so I am not sure whether running
standalone makes a difference yet...
We are running the app on a Gentoo box - not the most up-to-date
version of Gentoo - but using FP9 for Linux (FP10 crashes at the moment)
Thanks for any pointers
Glen
