We got the new RealEyes OSMF Player Sample project up, with an intro document and all!

This is a slick project we are working on and just the beginning. Below is a excerpt and the link to the Google Code Page.

http://code.google.com/p/reops/

The Realeyes OSMF Player Sample (REOPS) offers an excellent base for creating a robust video player utilizing the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) from Adobe. REOPS is meant to be a building block for developers as well as a visual representation to illustrate the capabilities and how to of the OSMF framework.

The REOPS project includes a very extensible and robust control bar skinning solution and templates to help customize the control bar, as well as Full-screen support, Closed Captioning from an external file, and OSMF dynamic plugin support. The REOPS project can be used to deploy easily customized video players that support progressive video playback, video on demand streaming, live streaming and dynamic streaming. What is more, all of these features are configurable from an external XML file.

I uploaded my files from the Integrating Video In The Enterprise session I gave at MAX. Enjoy!

Description:
Learn how to you can deploy video in Flash within your enterprise. This session will walk you through how you can support employee generated video, control access with LDAP and how to install, configure and customize the Adobe Flash Media Server within your network. The lab will focus on the specific challenges faced within large enterprises and implementing user authentication techniques using server side ActionScript. Step through the processes to deploy and discover the benefits of edge caching and other deployment techniques for high volume streaming using Flash Media Server within your network to publish live and recorded media.

Hands-On Files

Here are some quick steps to setting up an origin-edge Flash media server. Specifically these steps are for setting up a edge on a origin machine so that there is both on 1 machine that can have some value for certain setups and performance management.

Note: line numbers are off of default config files.

Setting Up a Origin/Edge on a single machine

• Duplicate the _defaultRoot_ dir in the conf dir and rename
(exp: “edge”)

In the Edge’s Adaptor.xml:
• (Line 42) Change the name attribute value of the Adaptor> HostPortList>HostPort tag to something unique e.g. edge2
• (Line 42) Change the ctl_channel value to a different value: e.g. 19351
• (Line 42) Set the Adaptor> HostPortList>HostPort value to a different IP and/or Port: e.g. :1936 (Don’t forget the colon)

In your Edge’s VHost.xml:
• (Line 127) Set the Proxy>Mode to remote: remote
• (Line 139) Set Proxy>Anonymous to true: true
• (Line208 ) Set the RouteEntry: *:1936;*:1935

Adobe Docs

Thanks to Sarge for the help.

Nick Hippe from Adobe did a great presentation this morning for the online FMS User Group. Did you miss it!!!?!?!?? Well no worries it was recorded so check it out!

Another article just went live on Adobe.com devnet site.
This one is part 2 of the Live DVR feature of the latest Flash Media Server 3.5

A little excerpt for ya:

“This article provides a simple example of streaming and displaying live DVR-enabled content. You will capture and encode the content with Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3, stream the content to the DVRCast application (dvrcast_origin) on Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5, and play the content with the FLVPlayback 2. 5 component.”

The first ever, one of a kind, Rocky Mountain Adobe Camp is right here in Denver on June 22, 2009. Digital professionals at all experience levels are invited to this one-day event to participate in depth sessions, and unique hands-on activities taught by some of the most influential speakers in the “Flash-o-sphere”.

Visit the Rocky Mountain Adobe Camp site to learn more.

Rocky Mountain Adobe Camp will examine the many capabilities of the Flash Platform by exploring its use within three distinct disciples. However you use the Flash Platform, there will be something for everyone at our three Camp Tracks:

– Flash Camp
– Dynamic Media Camp
– eLearning Camp

First and foremost, this event is about the community. We want to bring the Flash community together to learn from the experts, put faces to names, create (and renew) networking relationships, and continue to foster growth in the community. And what better way to accomplish these goals than to get a couple hundred of us together in beautiful Denver, Colorado?

With that in mind, we wanted to extend an opportunity to you to sign up at the early bird price of just $40! Head over to our Registration Page to get the best value for what promises to be the first of many amazing events.

360|Flex
and EventVue – http://tinyurl.com/5zq72q

360|Flex has teamed up with
EventVue to allow their attendees to create a community before the show and
continue the community after it. They’re
very excited about this deal and expect to see great things happen.

360|Flex Send a Team or an Army – http://tinyurl.com/5vm594

360|Flex is already a great deal at
the full price of $480. However, what’s
even more amazing is the $375 per ticket price when you register as a 4 person
team. It’s no wonder that companies are
taking advantage of this deal and are sending whole teams. If you haven’t
registered yet, you’d better hurry. When
teams buy in bulk, the number of available tickets dwindles fast.

360|Flex on the Switchboard, we’ll connect you! – http://tinyurl.com/6l7eyr and 360Flex
Speakers make their own standards – http://tinyurl.com/6r383d

360|Flex speakers (like myself) are
known for creating new products, frameworks and even standards. Switchboard is a way for you to code your own
AIR apps to talk directly to CS3 applications.
While Sam Rivello has gone off and created his own coding standards. We
360|Flex speakers are never complacent.

The guys at 360|Flex only charge $480 for the show and throw in the
