Hi Sasha,
Welcome to the list.
Welcome to the list.
... anyway so much about me, i also have some questions about Red5,
couldent find the answhere by myself,
would be very nice if someone could answhere them.
1) what about a user-group-rights-managment, havent done anything yet
within red 5 (whithout reading everything and playing around)
but looks to me like Red5 is "actually" a pure broadcasting engine,
is that right, will that change?
This will come, either building on servlet api, or using some spring package.
2) what about a database, i actually saw wheter a internal nor a jdbc
conector, will there be one?
Red5 runs in the spring container, so you can connect most things you will need.
Database via jdbc, hibernate, sqlmaps, etc. Email, LDAP, Webservice, you name it.
We will hope to provide more samples as the project matures.
http://www.springframework.org
3) what about... uhm i dosent read much about spark(spark server from
osflash list) but i saw many articles
about spark and red5 together ... will them later be designed to work
together (as far as i did understand
spark will be an applicationserver for web 2.0 issues... like
openlaszlo but with a _javascript_(ajax like) output)
I wrote spark before work started on red5, in some ways it was a red4 for me personally. I used it in production and its still running happily, but the project didnt take off as it was lacking a critical ingredient, community. We have that with red5 since day one and it makes a bit difference to the projects potential. Its the reason you are here asking these questions.
Much of red5's application structure is the same as spark; spring, jetty, remoting, etc. We will go beyond where I managed to get with spark adding scripting languages and application framework designed by and for our community. That said right now the team are focused on getting 0.5 out the door. Missing spark type features are coming in the next phase 0.6. Hopefully you can help us work out the important features we need to add, and test the codebase, and improve docs.
4) something surely often asked but it interests me, what about plans of
a "xml" - socketconnection
i read about in the chatlog and also clustering... iam asking that
because also the question for
internet phone support had been asked in the past(like i read on the
mailing list),
those 3 things(and some more) would be possible with a jabber(xmpp)
implementation or "interface"
i worked with xmpp over xmlsocket in flash and it works very good.
We have a new team member working on XML protocol client and server for the 0.6 timeframe. Given the networking layer, it should be quite straight forward to add. Lots of things are possible, but we have been focused on building a streaming server first knowing we can add these other features later when the time is right.
5) what system(os) do you recomend to let the server run on(later in a
web envoirement in a productive phase)
, windows, linux, OSX , solaris.... most MUS server run best on
linux or freebsd
but the fcs(now fms) had more free resources on windows afaik.
I would go for debian linux. Thats what Joachim and I use.
Doesnt mean to say its the best os for red5, but its a good choice for a stable linux box.
6) mabe for the most (javaprogrammers) a stupid question... i saw the
way to deploy in red5 in the videotutorials
... i know the modular way of extending a jabber server external
without recompiling. thats very different
must i later have my server compiled and ready with all features i
need builtin or will it be extendable?
You can use directory only apps without any java coding.
If you require server side stuff then yes right now you need to compile that too jar and add it as a webapp in red5.
7) last but not least,.... there are less informations about the team
itselfs.... well iam not interestet in ur
underwearsize but also after many hours of reading... i even doesent
know who actualy is core developer team member,
who started red 5 project or who does what, would be nice to even know a
litle bit more than
there is a joachim, a luke, a james and a....in the core dev team (sorry
if i´d missed a important name).
John (PM) started the project with a mail on the osflash list. Chris joined as coder co-PM. I jumped on board right away and worked on the putting in pace the architecture and working on the RTMP protocol, and with the help of Mick, John, Chris, and Dominick we,put out the first couple of versions. Joachim joined the team. He is a commit monster, and has been very busy adding many features. Steven joined shortly after and has done a great job on refactoring out streaming code. We put out 0.4 a while back and it was a bit milestone for us as a team. I have not listed everyone involved, you can find a list in the license.txt file in the root directory of red5. Recently interest seems to have gone up and we have couple more devs who have joined the team.
If you want to get to know the team or help out, best thing to do is join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.
