Hello list, Our site just released a video a subscription to 60 minute+ videos. Standard progressive download FLV has sufficed up until now. However, once starting the access to these long FLVs we have two problems to deal with: 1) We started running out of apache connections due to the long time a connection would be occupied by the FLV serving. 2) Since it is subscription based, we don't want to expose our FLVs so the subscriptions can't be shared.
I just downloaded and played with Red5 0.8 final for the first time. I have the demos working great. I have read a bunch of tutorials but I am still pretty lost on where to start and how much of the wheel, if any, I need to reinvent. Just to give you some ideas of my capabilities, 98% of my development is server side scripting, mainly with PHP. I have created some Flex apps, but I am no means fluent. What I am trying to accomplish is a player that accepts the following parameters: file, username, password, ip File would simply tell the player which file to request from red5 Username/password can authenticate off of a text files, mySQL db, whatever is easiest to code. IP would either compare from the same file/db as the user/pass authentication. The player only needs to play the requested stream, in a simple player like most web FLV players (slider, volume, full screen option, pause/play, stop). What I am asking for is some help to guide my in the direction of perhaps an existing front end I can use in part or whole, and this is something I do need to develop it one off, maybe point me in the right direction to some resources that explain a app similar to this. Thanks in advanced! Rich
