I want to stream through flash 9 with a red5 application, if you don't mind, please answer some general questions. I'm sure there's a whole world of people out there that feel
Problem A: 1. Is it possible to stream to a port to my server from my broadcast origin - encoding with an mp3 encoder, relaying this broadcast to the server, then with red5 listen on a particular port and transcode the broadcast to the world inside the scope of a red5 app? 2. What are the general steps to do this? Any caveats? 3. Will I be able to do the client player in flex to take advantage of some of the brilliant additions of actionscript, like building a true visualizer? 4. Is any on-line radio station broadcasting hi-quality audio through red5 currently? Problem B: 1. And as another solution, is it possible to stream hi-quality audio directly into my client inside flash app then relay the broadcast to my red5 server and broadcast to the world? 2. What are the limitations of the audio quality using this solution? (I tried doing this through one of the sample apps, and the audio sounded very tinny, like it was wrongly matched or encoded a real low rate server side) 3. What's the mobile potential for streaming to mobile devices with red5? The quality...etc. Thanks for taking the time to help me. I use to work for a radio station in the bay area, and since my low budget station couldn't afford FMS... we streamed through live365, where I was then able to stream through flash albeit - but not properly. The way I went around this obstacle was progressively playing the mp3 stream, which of course filled the memory of the computer up and up. The cheesy work around was a setInterval that actually cleared and re-initiated the sound object every 20 minutes - which of course gapped the audio momentarily. Of course people probably just thought their stream was buffering. My goal is to do this the right way and make the on-line radio station I always wanted. Hats off to the red5 team, this is the most exciting open source flash project out there currently (not saying there aren't some hot ones out there)!
