Problem with video chat, please help

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

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

[as]
myVideoOutNetStream = new NetStream(chaterConnection);
cam_ns.setMode(audioVideoSettings.captureWidth, audioVideoSettings.captureHeight, audioVideoSettings.captureFps);
cam_ns.setQuality(audioVideoSettings.bandwidthLimit, audioVideoSettings.frameQuality);
myVideoOutNetStream.attachVideo(cam_ns);
myVideoMC.attachVideo(cam_ns);
myVideoOutNetStream.publish((”_”+myName+”_”+chatToUsername+”_video”)
.toLowerCase());
chaterConnection.call(”streamActions”, null, “video”, true);[/as]

and receiving it on client

[as]
userVideoStream = new NetStream(chaterConnection);
userVideoStream.receiveVideo(true);
userVideoStream.play((”_”+chatToUsername+”_”+myName+”_video”).toLowerCase());
debugtrace(”new userVideoStream: “+userVideoStream);
videoMC.attachVideo(userVideoStream);[/as]

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. Base Component loaded successfully. AudioConference loaded successfully. AVPresence loaded successfully. Chat loaded successfully. ConnectionLight loaded successfully. Cursor loaded successfully. PeopleList loaded successfully. PresentationText loaded successfully. RoomList loaded successfully. SetBandwidth loaded successfully. SimpleConnect loaded successfully. UserColor loaded successfully. VideoConference loaded successfully. Video Playback loaded successfully. WhiteBoard loaded successfully. Communication Components 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.

Being a saleman it was much easier for me to get connected to customers and colleagues residing anywhere in the world through video confererncing. I get connected to the customers in the world from your desk. You can develop stronger working relationships and gauge their reactions instantly.

Initially the concept of video conferencing was new to me but due to the change in technologies I felt that work and the performance of business can be effectively be increased positively due to the investment I made in more than one telepresence room. However, many telepresence solutions are now standards based, so they are compatible with other desktop.

The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.

I heard a lot about video conferencing going around these days. Back then 1999 I never thought I will ever see this innovation which I only seen it first in Jetsons and Star Trek.

The first time when I used the video conferencing I was really nervous about how do I look or how do I speak through the equipment, but it was a great feeling.

I read the news about video conferencing been installed in hotels. This is very useful for Diplomats and VIPs to keep them up to date with their routine work back at home.
