Jun Heider and I got a new article up on Adobe Devnet about the awesomeness that is Stratus 2.0, RTMFP, and the power of ‘groups’.

Here is the article:

And here is the first couple of paragraphs:

dobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Stratus 2, and Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) are setting a firm foundation for peer-to-peer (P2P) with peer-assisted networking. Using the capabilities of groups and the new features around them, you can make deployments of nearly any scale and take advantage of multiuser interactive applications for data and media. Everything from application-level video multicasting to swarming file delivery and multiuser games are within easy reach of developers, without the heavy burden being laid upon a server infrastructure.

This is the first in a series of articles that focus on P2P capabilities of the Adobe Flash Platform, Adobe Stratus, and RTMFP. Future articles will dive deeper and provide a hands-on approach to utilizing the new groups and peer-assisted network topologies to make corporate enterprise, social media, and entertainment applications.

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.

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.

The amazing UI master Juan Sanchez recently did a post about the skinning process he underwent with us working together on a new Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) Sample Player we have been developing here at RealEyes for Adobe and the community. All I will say is its going to be awesome!
