Dominick, the FLV format is well-documented and the screen codec is part of that spec (not that any of us on this list have read it, right?) so making a C++ app that communicates via RTMP and sends an FLV screen-sharing stream is definitely within the realm of dobable. A far cry from the pain & legal agony of trying to reverse-engineer Spark or the On2 codecs. (libflv is a good place to find info on how the screen codec works.)

 
My company tried to make a screen-sharing app speak RTMP to FCS a few years ago and found that FCS would reject connections that used the screen codec -- I recall someone else on this list found the same thing as well. 

 
Today, my company does screen sharing via a Java web-start app that captures the screen and sends an RFB stream to the server. For archives, we convert that RFB into FLV with the screen codec server-side. On our roadmap is a plan to make the capture app talk to Red5 via RTMP with the screen codec. Sorry, I can't open source that without the boss-man's permission...

 
But I like where this thread is going. Once Tofu is up I'll definitely take a look at making a quick and dirty (and open) screen capture for Red5 users to play with.

Well writing the FLV data will be another story cause of the licensing.  I wish Sorenson would just open up.

i just finished the first prototype...
 
boy it was painful getting RTMP to work from C++ :)
but thanks to the help of the excellent red5 community especially Steven and Luke.. i managed to pull through..
 
The Tofu library is an RTMP Client... you got to write your own FLV Writing code though...  I shall add a FLV Writer component sometime later...
 
i shall be cleaning up the code and packaging it as a oslfash project... anyone has any ideas how i go about registering an osflash project???

hi all,

Hi,

I discovered Red5 2 days ago, and something that called my atention was the Screensharing / whiteboard applications.

Does anyone know how can I capture the screen with flash? I've found this project http://klaus.geekserver.net/libflv/ on the net and i am studing it.

But I houd be very thankfull if someone help me out on how to capture the screen with flash.

Thanks,

Bruno
