Dood Lenny this rocks! ! You and Storm and the others amaze me - seriously. You guys really have to WANT to get it working if you dig in that deep ;)
Thanks VERY much for posting your progress and notes, VERY VERY cool of you John On 3/20/07, Lenny Sorey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok Folks, I decided to drop back to the Video Conference example that comes with RED5 to see if I could get it to work before I go any deeper into Carlos's (AKA Storm) Video Conference Example. After a little tinkering, I finally got all webcams connected viewing one another. In addition, I also got audio working in the example as well. I used three connections in my local network as I tested the Video Conference Example. I used two webcams and one user without a webcam that participated in the Chatting. The user without the webcam always got the no camera image after logging on but can see the other two users with webcams attached to RED5 Video Conference Example. This example works much better if you change the RTMP address in the actionscript Connector.as on line 51 the IP address of the server that RED5 is running on. In my case, RED5 is running on Tomcat 5.5 on IP address 10.2.0.10 in my local area network. So in this example I would change the existing rtmp://localhost/fitcDemo on line 51 to rtmp://10.2.0.10/fitcDemo so that all user logging into Tomcat via the following url http://10.2.0.10:8080/red5/ (remember 10.2.0.10 is my local IP address that I have Tomcat running on. Most Tomcat connections connect like this http://localhost:8080/red5/ I also changed RED5 index.html and added some more html in the RED5 webapp folder in Tomcat to make it easier for Tomcat users to access all the demo examples from the index.html page. Feel free to use these or make any changes to these files you would like. I found that the index.html that comes with RED5 has problems with Tomcat find the examples. The demo list in Jetty does not display in Tomcat. I am using a Win2k server to host Tomcat 5.5 on my local area network with RED5. RED5 was built from SVN version 1762. I am connecting to the Tomcat server from a win2k machine and an XP professional machine. I built the war file with ANT and exploded it with WinRAR so I could add things to the Tomcat RED5 webapp on the fly after rebuilding the webwar. If you republish a swf you can drop it into Tomcat without having to restart the server. I did this a bunch of times when I was playing the Subscriber.as, the Connector.as and the Broadcaster.as actions scripts. I am using Flash Professional 8.0 If you want to try the Video Conference example, you may download it from ftp://67.79.48.170 username: red5 Password: red5 These are the available folders: *VideoConference_Compiled_Files_Original* – this contains the compiled videoconference.swf where the rtmp address is rtmp://localhost/fitcDemo. You can actually connect to the video conference from multiple machines with this version but the machines that are logging into RED5 will have to change the IP address in rtmp://localhost/fitcDemo to rtmp://ip address of Tomcat/fitcDemo in order to connect. For those wish to place to explore further, I have included the source files for Flash , the videoConference.fla and the actions scripts. These are located in the *VideoConferece_Source_Files_Original* folder on the ftp server. Before you replace anything make sure your save your original examples, flash , action scripts. Place the fla in the - red5/swf/DEV_Source Folder Place the action scripts in the red5/swf/DEV_Source/classes/org/red5/samples/livestream/videoconference folder. Navigate to red5/swf/DEV_Source/classes/org/red5/samples/livestream/videoconference folder find Connector.as , go to line 51 and change localhost to the ip address of where you have Tomcat installed and save your file. Drop out to a command line to fire up ANT. In my case Red5 is located in the following folder: D:\red5 – This is where my build.xml is located. Navigate to where you have red5 installed and type ant webwar in the command line window and let it build. Use a tool like winRAR and explode the war file or just placed the war file in the: Tomcat\webapps folder and it will take care of exploding the file for you. Lastly, if you want the html files I created to make it easier to navigate to the demo files, just copy these files to the red5 webapp folder in Tomcat. - *in **Tomcat_html_files* Hope this app works for everyone. Please review Tomcat log files for some very good info that is being written there regarding the Video Conference App. One thing I did notice with the current code. When Video App just sits there and no one logs into it, the context return piece goes wild and throws a java heap exception with an out of memory error. Seems the platform just eventually sucks all the available RAM with the blank Returning Context. But the good news is I logged on from three machines to the Video Conference App walk away for around an hour, came back and was able to proceed with all the connected users. _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
