RTMP Installation Tutorials for Video Flash Chat

Here are some samples of installing the videoflashchat rtmp application on different systems with default settings.

Installing in Red5 on Red Hat

1. Copy _setup/_red5/videoflashchat to opt/red5/dist/videoflashchat and restart the red5 server.

If you install it in a different folder name, edit videoflashchat/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties to reflect that.

sh /opt/red5/dis/red5.sh

Installing in FMS with Influxis

If needed select all from text editor (CTRL+A), copy (CTRL+C), move to form, select all from there (CTRL+A), paste from clipboard (CTRL+V) to overwrite.
3. From Permissions, Set Referring Domain(s), Add New Domain - add your domain that hosts the flash (i.e. your-domain.com)

Installing in FMS on Windows

RTMP Connection test for VideoFlashChat

We created a VideoFlashChat RTMP connection checker using AS3 to check if everything is ok with the streaming server:
http://www.videoflashchat.com/videoflashchat/connectiontest.html

Test with rtmp://obrix1ty9.rtmphost.com/videoflashchat . Connections from other domains are rejected by our fms host so this path will only work with this one but you can test your own installations if the sever allows connections from videoflashchat.com .

Submit a ticket if you are a customer and need this zipped to test your installation.

Code:

import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.NetStream;
import flash.events.*;

// Current release of FMS only understands AMF0 so tell Flex to
// use AMF0 for all NetConnection objects.
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0;

if (link.text.length==0) link.text="rtmp://videoflashchat";
bt_connect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, try_connect);

function try_connect(e:MouseEvent)
{
var button:Button = e.target as Button;
log.appendText("\nConnecting to: "+link.text);
fmsconnect(link.text);
}

function fmsconnect(server)
{
var UserName="test_conn";
var sex="male";
var room="test";

//connection
var fmscon:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
fmscon.connect(server,UserName,sex,room);
fmscon.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatus);

function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
var info:Object = event.info;
log.appendText("\n"+info.code);
}
}
