Some info about next flashphone.

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

After some work with 3rd parties RTMP implementations (Red5, Wowza) we’ve decided to create our own one, because we don’t need fully functional Flash Media Server as we don’t use a lot of it’s functions. Our implementation is lightweight and there is only functionality required for our services. In the next flashphone release we going to add H.263+ and H.264 video codecs support. That doesn’t mean that flash player will encode to H.264 directly and quality will become comparable with H.264, but it allows to use flashphone with external systems supporting H.264. Zingaya Media Server will be updated as well.

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.
