A movie trailer for office 2010... quite well done for something that doesn't exist.... Video Graeme 2009-07-10T11:16:56+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000293.html This is nice to see finally, some good material on deploying FMIS on a large scale. There's always been the issue out there that the edge-origin configuration of FMS is just a tad too expensive for most. Some have gone ahead and built their own framework for the failover and clustering of FMS and it's gone well. So it looks... Flash Media Server 3 Graeme 2009-07-09T04:56:22+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000292.html That title may be a bit odd to understand so here's what I want to do. I've searched for quite some time but there just isn't anything that is either working or is documented that I can find.. I need to use Coldfusion to allow members to download zip files. Now, I don't want the location showing up or the... Coldfusion Graeme 2009-07-08T12:45:32+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000291.html Hulu streams live the Michael Jackson memorial. So long King of Pop. While there were some issues over the years I definitely have a lot of respect for him as an entertainer that gave everything he had to his dreams. **edited to remove the SWF of the live event** So long dude, you rocked a lot of people's worlds.... General Info Graeme 2009-07-08T04:28:12+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000290.html Here is something that I thought rather interesting, the ability to game from your computer without installing anything but the flash player and a web browser. Gaikai Streaming Worlds Another link to a blog entry on it Very interesting but I find myself wondering how on earth they are going to make it run for thousands or even hundreds of... Video Graeme 2009-07-08T04:15:36+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000289.html Another great article (that I've finally found some time to look over..) from Jan Ozer about producing video for flash. Holy cow it's long and detailed, go grab a big coffee and settle in for lots of info. Check it out here for the print version and the original link to the site.... Video Graeme 2009-06-26T12:30:06+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000288.html Here's an article that I finally found some time to get around to reading: SystemProduct and connect pro article I liked it in that the author talks about the age old problem that the connect pro plugin is a MUCH cooler version of the flash player and that Adobe is taking advantage of their full control over it to have... General Info Graeme 2009-06-26T12:24:13+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000287.html Just a bit of OT here that I thought I'd brag about, I'm rather proud that my car got first place in it's class in a car show here locally. We have a local car show for Pontiac that runs every year called the All Pontiac Show and Shine. This is the first year I've put my car in (in... General Info Graeme 2009-06-19T08:50:35+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000286.html Very slightly old info but important to post I think just in case. Adobe has gone and finally released the specs to RTMP (not that those that are implementing it now don't already know), but the fact they are making it public and out there is a good thing. Check out Kevin Towes' blog on the subject and a straight... Industry News Graeme 2009-06-19T08:37:48+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000285.html I'm hoping somebody can point me in the direction of a good project management application. I'd like it to work for multiple users, have the option to install a PC and/or MAC client side or a web based module for "on the go". A mobile version would be cool too.. but that might be asking for a bit much. I've... General Info Graeme 2009-06-09T09:37:50+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000284.html I just wanted to quickly post up a few bug tracking links related to FMS in hopes that more will put in some votes to increase the importance of them. With any luck... they'll get resolved. This one is the most important in my opinion (they've already got it in the connect addin): Acoustic Echo cancellation support http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-273 Allow screensharing... Flash Media Server 3 Graeme 2009-05-29T03:45:41+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000283.html So it's kind of been brought to my attention again about this issue of IE7 or 8 not letting go of SWFs when the browser is closed or the back button is clicked. So essentially the SWF should be unloaded from memory and destroyed but it stays.. I don't think this issue happens for any of those but FMS live... Development Graeme 2009-05-22T09:10:29+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000282.html Just wanted to let everybody know that another FMS video tutorial has gone up. This time I cover the issue of chat flooding and how to control it on the server side. Pretty useful concept I think. Check out the list here.... Flash Media Server 3 Graeme 2009-05-15T05:48:55+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000281.html Rather than regurgitate the same kind of info, I thought I'd toss a link up to InsideRIA's website. They have a great article talking about Adobe's Strobe framework. We make a heck of a lot of different video players with all kinds of features and customizations so this is interesting to us. I think I may even go ahead and... Industry News Graeme 2009-05-14T05:50:39+09:00 http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000280.html A little bit late but thought it best to be consistent and post it up that FMS 3.5 has an update with a bunch of bug fixes to it. Lookin' good. You should probably give it a go if you are having any issues with crashing or memory issues. Remember to back up your old config files and applications. Go...
