Hi all,

i got problem with Video chat, which runs on FMS (Flash media server 2). I was googling, searching mail archives, no help. I hope that my blog + MXNA (and other aggregators) will help me again.

Here is situation:
I got FLA of working chat (text, audio, video) between 2 users. Problem is that I do not have main.asc for FMS. Till now, I've implemented almost all parts of main.asc. Text messages works, audio works, but not video. Audio and video uses same functions on server and client as well. I've traced all on clients and server, and it seems all works correctly =>

publish stream

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. myVideoOutNetStream = new NetStream(chaterConnection);
  2. cam_ns.setMode(audioVideoSettings.captureWidth, audioVideoSettings.captureHeight, audioVideoSettings.captureFps);
  3. cam_ns.setQuality(audioVideoSettings.bandwidthLimit, audioVideoSettings.frameQuality);
  4. myVideoOutNetStream.attachVideo(cam_ns);
  5. myVideoMC.attachVideo(cam_ns);
  6. myVideoOutNetStream.publish(("_"+myName+"_"+chatToUsername+"_video")
  7. .toLowerCase());
  8. chaterConnection.call("streamActions", null, "video", true);

and receiving it on client

PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
  1. userVideoStream = new NetStream(chaterConnection);
  2. userVideoStream.receiveVideo(true);
  3. userVideoStream.play(("_"+chatToUsername+"_"+myName+"_video").toLowerCase());
  4. debugtrace("new userVideoStream: "+userVideoStream);
  5. videoMC.attachVideo(userVideoStream);

so I think only problem can be cause on server side. Must be anything set for video streams? Or if audio streams works, video streams should work as well? I've looked at Adobe video conference example, but in FLA i cant find URL for FMS (rtmp), so I cant use it, but in main.as for this example was just 1 line:

load( "components.asc" );

and this line on server side runs this (from Details section for this application)

FCApplication loaded successfully.
Communication Framework loaded successfully.

RoomList loaded successfully.
SetBandwidth loaded successfully.
SimpleConnect loaded successfully.
UserColor loaded successfully.
VideoConference loaded successfully.
Video Playback loaded successfully.
WhiteBoard loaded successfully.

But it doesn't help me. I'm completly lost, i can't find answer, what's wrong. Please help me, what should I do for running video chat on FMS.

Thanks a lot in advance.
