RE: [Flashcoders] RTSP in flash?
I will be creating this as a desktop application. I have already written in C++ a controller interface for the xbox 360. I now need to get the video into the application. My thought was to use zink or some other 3rd party projector but all them seem to only allow you to load a local file not a url for the stream. Thanks for your insight. Back to google I go!

The Flash Player doesn't support the RTSP protocol (neither RTP, RTCP which are usually also required for proper RTSP) and it doesn't support decoding MPEG4 Video.

[Flashcoders] RTSP in flash?

Wade Actually, one really neat thing about the new FlashLite2 is that you can play raw mpeg4/qt and h series streams DIRECTLY into the Flash player as long as your phone/PDA has the codec/driver. I did a POC of this on a Nokia phone for a real time, per minute billing solution. So, in a way, it IS possible to play native video (Real Player works as well on Pocket PC etc). This is a special build of the player I know, but maybe there is a way to leverage it still for what you are trying to do. We streamed the movies with a Flash app in about 5 lines of code from a Darwin Streaming Server running on Debian. (the phone was mpeg4 ready) -Ken -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chafic Kazoun Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 7:04 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] RTSP in flash?

Does anyone know of any third part flash players that allow you to connect to real time streaming protocol? You're probably best off seeing if it has a driver that'll play with the Flash Player's native camera support, seeing that it's running on the same machine (localhost). Failing that A long shot might be jumping over to ActionScript 3 and Flash Player 9 and doing it yourself by implementing the RTSP protocol and MPEG4IP codec entirely in AS3. While this is quite possible, if you go this way, be prepared for quite a bit of work and the possibility of lackluster performance given the complexity of decoding a video stream in real-time). For example of something similar, consider, Darron Schall's FlashVNC client that he built using AS3 in the fall of last year: http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000192.cfm Alternatively, you could look into whether it might be possible to use Red5 with a transcoder like FFMPEG to convert the stream into FLV in a separate application before streaming it into your Flash Player. As far as I know, there hasn't been any announcements of such a beast, though there isn't anything stopping an enterprising and skilled coder from doing this.
