James Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Which is easier to use, Wowza or Adobe Flash Streaming Server? I've already tried Wowza and it's pretty easy to set up. Has anyone tried Adobe's Flash Server? Ive noticed both are around the same prices ($900 for single license).

James Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Im leaning more towards Wowza even though i havent tried adobe. Simply because adobe makes enough a profit on photoshop and knowing what adobe is like, its probibly difficult and expensive.

Brutish Sailor Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 That was my guess. Wowza is licensed through adobe, so It would seem common sense that if they had to obtain the license, they did it with the concept that they could make a flash setup more easy to interface with.

Wavestreaming Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Ah - video streaming! This has been something I've been working with alot over the past couple of months! If you've got any specific questions - just ask and i'll try my best to help... We're currently working with Wowza along with various other tools, and some custom software for our 'coming soon' video streaming services - expecting to launch them in May (although, this will probably be under a different brand - not Wavestreaming) then some radio options will be added to Wavestreaming in the coming months too. Reason we went for Wowza, is the superb community, code examples available, the IDE to create custom plugins, also the cost is lower than Adobe. Plus, there is obvious the direct integration with SHOUTcast & Icecast that Wowza offers - which is a big bonus for radio stations. Its also much more cross-platform compatible... I know StreamSolutions are also using Wowza for their Flash setup, Nick posted here on the forums as to why; http://www.wowzamedia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4206 There is also an opensource (free) alternative known as RED5; http://osflash.org/red5 Wavestreaming - The Internet Radio Experts since 2004.

Brutish Sailor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ok, got to be a good reason for this with RED5. I see It has file extensions. SO with that being said, and since your the webhost and probably already thought of this x10 steps here. What keeps me from simply adding a decoder? You probably already know what I'm thinking by that statement, and it would be the only reason I would buy WOWZA.

Brutish Sailor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 libfaac.dll or libfaad2.ddl One of these two should cut it. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 @&*$@&, Its not going to work... It would need to be on the LC browser. Thats where the LC launch file MUST be launched from( or any licensed launch page under JLA, OOOOOOOH that stings), so even in Iframe it wont work.... :( BUT MAN, that would have been sweet.... Im still going to try to Iframe the flash player and put it on the server, but Im sure my therory of failure is pretty sound, and kills all hope of AAC+ working.

Brutish Sailor Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, im going to need to contact a friend. Im working on it. NSV is deffinantly not for the weak willed. Someone should skin all this open source and package it. KNSJ.org / 89.1 FM San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutish Sailor Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok, I see what Im doing wrong. For video, I need to run a flash server period, stream through that. NO SC OR IC involved. Same applies to Flash servers for audio. I was thinking it was something in the browser of how adobe/appache filters the info. I just met a guy using stream2Cast, and took a peak under the server hood so to speak. MAN OH MAN. This is going to be headache and pain. Im gonna have a lot of fun here...

Bowljoman Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Red5 is young but does already RULE If you need NSV to flash for h264 or AAC use red5 and the shoutcast plugin. I am the author of said plugin. http://www.thebitstream.com/?page_id=13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
