There is some custom things I would like to extend the logic with, and of course keep the design layer in mxml to import as an extended component of the flowplayer. > We are using Red5 in the startup company i am working in.

We are using VP6 currently, though ive just realised how poor the quality is with the 700k files and at 200MB for 24 minutes ! What is the H264 like, how exactly does it get encoded ? How big is the file and the bandwidth required etc. Im guessing the H264 will render better fullscreen etc. > > What kind of security functionality would be needed?

Ie allow the user to extend the API and include the bits required, rather than including things they don't need. It terms of security features, I would allow the ability to do something custom so the logic isnt public etc, though that isnt a concerned to me. Ive also included auto bitrate detection logic, and bandwidth selections etc from a given set of bitrates in mine. So i would prefer to include the logic into a subclass and then include into the mxml as a component, and then lay out the controls how i see fit, and have those controls skinnable, thats how the current player is setup anyway. http://69.42.91.84:5080/RED5.swf As you can see there is status, a debug console, etc, so would be nice if there was these features in the API and it can be placed anywhere or customised in the mxml. The designer didnt make the Flash8 skin template so easy to include stuff in a way that the player is easily resizable as I couldnt work out how to auto position the controls etc so make the app position to the size of the plugin. All the default components are skinned at compile time via css. the scrub doesnt move the video while scrubbing because and old version of red5 was stuffing that up so it moves after dropping it. I did find skinning the Hslider quite painful, the thumb needs to be a flex class etc. I dont have a working version of the bitrate selection window but ill put a demo up somewhere. There are also demo players and a library included with red5 and already in flex which I can prob look at also. _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org
