Making P2P Video Chat with FMS

[neoze]

Hi, I'm trying to make a P2P video chat application with Flash Builder 4.5 and Flash Media Server 4.5.

First, I've tried a simple sample application using Cirrus(Stratus). It worked very well!

NetConnection -> NetGroup -> 2 NetStreams -> netstream play and publish -> last, netgroup post

The sample was all OK.

But now, I've changed the server url to my flash media development server.

rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX -> rtmfp://my-fms/application

Here is my application trace log about NetStatusEvent:

[object NetConnection] NetConnection.Connect.Success

[object NetConnection] NetGroup.Connect.Success

[object NetStream] NetStream.Play.Reset

[object NetStream] NetStream.Play.Start

[object NetStream] NetStream.Publish.Start

[object NetConnection] NetStream.Connect.Success

[object NetConnection] NetStream.Connect.Success

I couldn't get events about NetGroup and NetStream any more!!!!

When using Stratus, It worked well...

I am not familiar with FMS.. did I skip something in FMS setting?

Hi,

Thanks for trying RTMFP.

When you made your own application on the development server, did you make any server side scripting on this application or is this a blank application ? The point here is that, for P2P, the Cirrus server has a server script that takes care of bootstrapping one client to the other, which in your case (after moving to your server) is not happening. You need to probably add the scripting for bootstrapping one client to the other.

The following resources can help :

I have this same question as well.

From your link you shared, it looks like it's the client side code for

making connections. Can you share the server side code for creating the

connection? All the docs I find say you can do this, but there's no real

example (or I'm just blind and can't see it). I'd really like to have a

simple FMS application script that makes these P2P connections when I

point my app to my server.

Thanks,

Brent

I agree to a little extent that there is less documentation / examples for server side script for this. Anyways, the FMS documentation should provide clues for doing that.

Both the above docs should help in better explaining the bootstrapping process.

The multicast application that comes along with FMS installation is a good example for all RTMFP net group connections. Please take a look at that as well.

Thank you !

Thank you, that makes a lot more sense now. I also came across this

article that has a main.asc resource that covers a similar bootstrapping

process:

Cool. As long as it works for you, I am good

I think I have a similar problem. I am using FMS 4.0 and I can't receive any NetGroup event except NetGroup.Connect.Success. There is no events as NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect or NetGroup.Posting.Notify. I made a discussion (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4429330#4429330) and one of the Adobe employees wrote that I don't need to write any bootstrapping (any server side code):

Chandan_Abhishek worte:

You don't have to implement any server side code. Just keep a blank app on the server and make two client side apps.

Can please someone explain, do I have to write any server side code or not? Do I have to bootstrap clients or not?
