johnsmith153 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have created many YouTube style systems which ay progressively downloaded video. I am now looking to create a site which captures one person by using the web cam on their system and then allows various people to watch live. Footage is only streamed live via web cam. The You Tube style is of course: (1) Upload a video file (HTML form / PHP) (2) Encode the video file (something like encoding.com) (3) Store this video file (PHP / store on server) (4) Request this file and use a flash player to display. How roughly would this process happen for live streaming? Something like this?? (1) Flash player uses system web cam to capture image (2) ???? (3) streaming server delivers immediately (unique session value identifies it) (4) Flash player at other end receves the unique value and plays the stream.

xcandiottix Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I was wondering the same thing while driving today. I do believe it's quite possible as some instant messenger programs use flash to do this. Not really a PHP question tho until you get into user ids and such. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/beginner_live_fms3.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/204462-streaming-live-video-with-php/#findComment-1070679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsmith153 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Looked at the link from xcandiottix. However, I need web-cam broadcaster to be able to have video captured through Adobe Flash in a web browser, and then sent to rtmp server. The link provided is for the broadcaster to download software for their computer. Imagine if You Tube asked people to download software before you could upload! Any ideas / links where this can be done? To summarise I need a flash programme which connects to the webcam and then sends the video to the rtmp server. There are loads of flash players out there (like Flowplayer etc.) I suppose I want one of these but the web cam capture part. I can pay money but don't fancy developing a flash app from ground up (can't do myself). I imagine this post will get moved but I don't see a video streaming section and wanted to continue the thread rather than start a new.
