Cool! Thanks for checking out our project. >I would like to know from more experienced flash platform > developers: What apps are best suited for Flash Comm and what for Remoting? Well, in general anytime you need real-time communication in a push type scenario such as chat, white boards, multi-user games or, if you need to stream video then RTMP makes a lot of sense. Also, streaming from a webcam or microphone to other users is another good application of RTMP.. > Where could I find more information on the Flash Comm protocol and API? A major thing to keep in mind is that Red5 is not a port of FMS (formally Flash Comm), so the same API and server side treatment isn't just going to work. With that in mind though, we have set up the Red5 API to be very flexible and intuitive, allowing user to create sophisticated applications with relative ease. See our video conferencing application included with the installer as an example. > Is a > php port of red5 possible (I´ve never worked with java and my host only > supports php4.3). A PHP version of Red5 would be pretty tough to do, as there is no Spring framework for PHP (AFIK), and certain libraries like MINA simply don't exists, or are just not relavant to PHP. Anyway, we have had some people on the Red5 list have success implementing RTMP with PHP. As Red5 becomes more stable we will certainly have options for hosting available. There are already quite a few people interested in providing general hosting for Red5. > > Thanks in advance, > Sure, I hope this helps. please sign up on our mailing list if you have more questions and want to play around with what Red5 can do. -Chris _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
