Flashphone.ru RTMP connections support now is provided by Wowza Media Server

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Flashphone.ru RTMP protocol for streaming media for a long time was supported by Red5 server, but after some time we’ve found out that under a big load usage of opensource product wasn’t the best idea. We’ve worked together with Wowza Team to find the way of creating Zingaya plugin for their media server. I want to say big thanks to them, their feedback was always fast. Now all incoming RTMP connections are handled by Wowza and then data is passed to Zingaya plugin which handles all other stuff, like SIP/RTP/transcoding/routing etc. Another great benefit of Wowza Media Server is that after version 1.5.3 release it supports RTMPE/RTMPTE protocols and this allows us to make our service very secure. Let me explain this a little. RTMPE: This new protocol is an enhanced and encrypted version of RTMP. RTMPE is faster than SSL and does not require certificate management as SSL does.  (supported with Flash Player 9,0,115,0 minimum; Adobe AIR; Adobe Media Player). So now all data which is passed to our server from flash player can be encrypted, we are working on an update to enable RTMPE/RTMPTE for all users who got FP version starting from 9,0,115,0.

CallMe widget is now available for every flashphone user. Customize look and feel of your widget, set number or SIP URI where your widget will call, save your settings and get your widget’s HTML code

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

You had to send us request via email to get your widget, you couldn’t change it’s look and feel, you couldn’t change SIP URI or number by yourself, but now everything changed. Just login to Flashphone and you’ll see a new button “CALLME widget”

callme

After click on the button you’ll see CallMe widget settings panel

callme_settings

Let me describe all sections of the settings panel:

Preview - it’s just a visual preview of your callme widget, you can switch between 3 states used to show different connection  state.

Settings - this section is used to customize button’s label for different states and Number or SIP URI your widget will call to (this data is stored on server). If you are entering Number, be sure that you’ve added your SIP provider account in Account Manager, if you want your widget to call directly to flashphone when you are logged in, just enter your login in that field. Don’t forget to click on “Save” button to store this settings on server. “Generate embed code button” can be used when you’ve already set all settings for your widget, you’ll see popup window with widget’s HTML code (like in youtube).

Widget settings, Button attributes, Connecting label - visual settings for different elements of callme widget. This settings are stored in flash player local cache to be restored after you open CallMe widget settings next time and will be sent to embed code generator when you are ready to get your HTML code.

Hope you’ll like new feature, enjoy!
