David and I have an article we worked on with Adobe released on Adobe Devnet today. For those of you interested in bringing P2P into your Flash Platform applications this is a good introduction on all the features you’ll have available to you with Flash Player 10.1, RTMFP, and Stratus 2/FMS 4.

There’s good information, a good sample with source code, and good illustrations to help you get going.  The last word document revision I submitted was 28 pages long, just to give you an idea on the wealth of information in this article.

Also, we’d like to thank our Adobe tech reviewers and editors for helping us get through this!

Here’s the direct link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/p2p_rtmfp_groups.html

Enjoy!

I’m excited to announce that I had the chance of integrating a fancy new module built by David Hassoun into the REDbug console.  The FMS Stream Test module is a tool that allows you to connect to, play, and seek within your FMS streams.  It supports:

• RTMP
• RTMPE
• RTMPT
• RTMPTE
• RTMPS

A screenshot of this new module is below, and if you haven’t already, come check out REDbug Debugging Suite:

Rocky Mountain Adobe Camp is this coming Monday, 6/22.  There’s a couple seats left in the dynamic media track.  Come check out myself and Mr. FMS give  a presso on Enterprise Encoding & Encrypting  covering both Flash Media Encoding Server and Flash Media Rights Management Server.

Oh, and if you register anytime before Thursday morning, you can get in at a discounted rate of $50.  Not only will you get our session, but other bad-ass sessions covering all things Dynamic Media. Also, there will be a copy of Adobe CS 4 Production Premium given away if that will help wet the appetite.

But hey, don’t just take it from me.  Take it from the RMAC team

So get registered!

David was kind enough to blog more detailed information on the FMS modules releasd with REDbug 0.63.

You can find his details here: http://david.realeyes.com/?p=93

Here’s my previous post on REDbug 0.63: http://www.iheartair.com/?p=242

You can download REDbug 0.63 here: http://www.redbugtool.com/

Also, if you read his post, you will see reference to a RealEyes Connections Management framework.  Specifically this note at the bottom of the post:

“If anyone is interested in the RealEyes Connections Management framework let me know and I may be swayed to release it sooner rather than later.”

Just so you know…

The Dynamic Media Camp is looking for attendees interested in all things Adobe streaming video, just take a look at the sessions that will be offered:

I just posted a new build of REDbug console which can be found here: http://www.redbugtool.com

It’s build 0.63 and with it comes a new module called RED FMS Connectioner.  This makes two REDbug modules used to debug and test video and Flash Media Server related items.

Here’s a couple quick screenshots:

RED FMS Connectioner Module

That being said, I’m going to let you in on the fact that I had nothing to do with either of these two modules.  They were the product of my good friend and employer David Hassoun…a.k.a. Mr. FMS:

• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1.html
• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt2.html
• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/hd_video_flash_player.html
• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/live_dvr_pt1.html
• http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/live_dvr_pt2.html

My point is, I merged his FMS goodness in and spit out the new 0.63 build, updated the installer badge on the REDbug site, and for existing users running 0.62 or earlier there should now be a notification on app start regarding the new 0.63.

Moving forward, the plan is that David or I or some combination of us two will release some type of tutorial or screen cast in the near future. Until then, you’ll have to be a little adventurous and feel your way around the modules.  Keep an eye on his blog or mine we’ll let you know when there’s more details available.

Oh…and two last but very important points:

1. REDbug Console is still a BETA release.

2. At the moment everything is still free…so there’s no harm in trying REDbug Console.

Enjoy!
