Flash player 10 released
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008From Adobe’s site
“News
Download Adobe Flash Player 10 today for a fresh look at the web”
Yes, finally flash player 10 was released. Now it’s just a question of time to add new features of flash player 10 (UDP, speex, p2p) to our technology and service. God job Adobe!

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008First tests showed that we got Speex wideband (16KHz) in Flash Player 10 beta. Sound quality is excellent(like with skype2skype calls), liveDelay of NetStream is 0.18 sec (without packets loss in TCP connection) and is very stable, so we can assume that Flash Player 10 uses new buffer implementation for speex audio data.
So our roadmap for Zingaya Media Server speex support:
- Support speex passing via ZMS without transcoding in 16 KHz, some systems (eyeBeam softphone for example) support wideband speex already.
- Support speex resampling into 8 KHz
- Support speex transcoding into G.711 and other common VoIP codecs
Will be waiting for RTMFP protocol details to learn more about UDP connections between flash player and FMS or between flash player (p2p). Let’s wait until FMS release with RTMFP support.

Friday, May 16th, 2008You can download flash player 10 beta using this link. We will have a lof of new features, but let’s check features related to realtime communications support:
Dynamic Streaming — Always show the best video possible with streams that can automatically adjust to changing network conditions. By changing bitrates, you can keep your user engaged and avoid start-and-stop video. Dynamic streaming provides the best possible experience to the video consumer based on their bandwidth environment. Video streams over RTMP from intended future releases of Flash Media Server can dynamically change bitrate as network conditions change. Quality of Service metrics, exposed via ActionScript and providing real-time network or CPU information, allow developers to take control of the video playback and adjust the streaming experience accordingly. This feature is part of Flash Player 10 but will only be available with intended future releases of Flash Media Server.
RTMFP (Real Time Media Flow Protocol) — RTMFP provides a UDP-based secure network transport alternative to RTMP-over-TCP. To take advantage of the feature you will need to establish a net connection via future releases of Flash Media Server or other Adobe server products. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an efficient and standardized Internet protocol for delivering media assets because of its support for lossy delivery, improving performance of real time communication. RTMFP is always encrypted which helps protect media delivery. This technology is a result of Adobe’s acquisition of Amicima, Inc. in 2006. If you are interested in being part of the private prerelease for RTMFP, please send an email to fmsprerelease@adobe.com with your contact details.
Speex Audio Codec — The new, higher fidelity Speex voice codec offers an alternative to Nellymoser for audio that delivers the lowest-latency audio experience possible. When RTMP or RTMFP is used with future releases of Flash Media Server, live and unbuffered Speex transmissions will take advantage of RTMFP’s partial-reliability feature to reduce network latency.
Flash player 10 will help us to provide better user experience for VoIP services. We will upgrade Flashphone as soon as it will be possible.
P.S. Forgot to mention that flash player 10 would support P2P connections between players. Nice!
