Live video application for multiple users with RTMFP

Hi
We developed a live video application in Flex that uses RTMP. In one session up to 5 users are able to publish their stream and up to 20 users can join a group. For saving bandwidth costs and making use of lower latency with UDP we check RTMFP. From reading the documentation it seems that RTMFP multicast is the way to go.
Our frist results and additional research surfaced two 2 issues:
- Streams have a live delay (which seems to be multicastwindowduration + buffertime) that takes up to 30 sec to disappear but seems to increase again
- The application allows one user to change the size of a published video (camera.setMode). This causes a freeze with RTMFP for the publisher and all subscribers. Changing the size several times can cause to make the video work again for the publisher and subscriber (some bugs are already reported here)
For solving these issues I wonder:
1.) Is RTMFP multicast able to deliver a low latency solution that is needed for face to face v/a communication?
2.) if yes - are there any settings suggested by Adobe for the RTMFP NetStream multicast properties (like multicastwindowduration property) and if not can you give me some hints what would work for reduce the latency that face to face communication gets acceptable?
3.) How to deal with the setMode issue - does this happen because I misconfigured RTMFP or is this API not supported? Will unpublish and publish solve the issue (what api series do I need to use to do so?)
Best regards,
Marc

1) any practical use of P2P multicast will have a delay measured in seconds. it shouldn't go to 30 seconds unless you have a large NetStream.bufferTime.
2) i strongly recommend against changing the multicast stream parameters. they all interact with each other. decreasing the window duration will decrease the effective reliability of the stream, by reducing the amount of time to receive all of the fragments of the stream as they pass through the P2P group -- especially when people join or leave the group, which can disrupt the low latency "push" trees that are constructed in the group.
3) you should be able to change the encoding parameters on the fly without a major disruption. are you using H.264 or Sorenson Spark?  it's possible that your camera doesn't like to have its capture size changed and it is freezing temporarily.  i'm not having any trouble changing the capture size with my camera (and using H.264).  i recall there being some issue with changing the frames-per-second on the fly (at least some time ago, and i don't remember what the issue is) -- there was enough of an issue that i disabled it in my little app while actively publishing.

  • Best way to set up a Mac laptop for multiple users with AD logins

    I am setting up a MacBook Pro running 10.4.11 that will be used as a "loaner" notebook for meetings, etc. The computer will be used internally at our company, so users will be logged into our network. Active Directory is set up on this computer to allow all domain users to log in using their own user name and password; this approach helps meet our company's security standards (we want to avoid using one common login or account for all users).
    While this approach seems to fit our needs, it causes problems when it comes to running applications. For instance, each new user is prompted to enter first-time usage information when launching an application (forcing them to contemplate registration information, various settings, etc.). I've given "everyone" read-write privileges to the HD > Library and the Applications folder, but this does not solve anything and may not be a good approach anyway.
    I would welcome any advice on the best way to set up this computer for multiple users logging in via Active Directory. Thanks!

    Where are you installing the third party applications? It sounds like they are being installed in the 'User 1' account, rather than the /Applications folder (admin or not, one user normally can not see into another user's folders). Repairing permissions only works for applications that have a file in /Library/Receipts, not on folders in general, so you would need to check the permissions for the folders in question.

  • How to install applications for multiple iPads with one ID?

    Hey guys,
    I have to prepare many iPads for work, and I've found the process to be very redundant. In order to ensure that the applications are tied to the ID of the final client, I have to first create an account under my email, download all the applications and then change the email to the client's. Now when I have to prepare another device, I have to delete the applications in iTunes and re-download them with a new account to make sure they are tied to the next ID. Is there a way to download and sync all the applications under one ID, and not have issue with updates in the future? Keep in mind I'm only installing free applications.

    I was referring in particular to the logs that are created by Workshop
    itself (in the workshop directory). It creates workshop.log and netui.log.

    Steven,
    which workshop log file are you referring to ?
    the workshop log files are usually saved to the domain directory.
    If the developers are each going to start their own server instances then
    there should be no issues.
    The best option for you is to create multiple domains for each developer.
    They will share the same workshop installation, but they will each have
    their own instances.

    Hello,
    What is the best way to install the WL 8.1 Platform for multiple
    developers on a single UNIX machine? These developers may start
    concurrent instances.
    The problems I see are that the log files generated by Workshop would
    be shared among concurrent users, permissions would need to be set so
    that the user that is running the instance that creates the log files
    will need to create the file with permissions that everyone can use. Are
    there any other issues to doing this?
    I could not find the information on this in the documentation.
    Thanks

  • Updating applications for multiple users

    I have set up multiple user accounts on my mac pro so that I can restrict my kid's access to applications and the web. Trouble is that I am unable to update his browser and flash plug-in. My default browser is Firefox 17.0, Flash Player 11.5.502.110 but his shows up as Firefox 3! I have scrolled through the Parental Controls: Allowed Apps list looking in vain for a way to select the *right* browser version, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    Thanks for responding, Kirk. Per your suggestion I checked the parental controls panel to see which apps folder was selected and found that there seemed to be no way to navigate to a particular folder. It simply offers an option named "Other Apps". Next I looked at the User/blah/Applications folder and found that there was none--so parental controls must be pointing to the HD/Applications folder.

  • Installing applications for multiple users

    I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I am a longtime Mac user, but always on a single machine with a single user account. Now I have finally convinced my wife to make the switch to Mac and we will be sharing a new Mac Mini.
    My question is this. When I go to install a new application (like MS Office or iWorks), how do I install it so it is available to both users? My plan is to create an admin account and then a standard user account for my wife and for me. Would I move into the admin account to install software?
    Thanks in advance for any answers!

    As long as you install applications into their usual location: /Applications, the Applications folder at the root level of your computer's directory, the applications should be available to all users. You can install from any account, but you will have to supply admin authentication (username, password).

  • Redeeming gift cards for multiple users with one Apple ID

    I have one Apple ID and two devices for two of my children.  Is there a way to track their gift cards separately (by device and not all to the Apple ID)?

    Create separate Apple ID's for everyone here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    Must be verified email addresses. Then use those Apple ID's for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone, etc. Everyone can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, & whoever "owns" the account using that Apple ID for everything.

    I'm assuming you have the lastet OSX version 10.9 "Mavericks." Here are some useful links from Apple I think will help:

    and a video:

    I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views.

  • There are multiple users with the same display name

    Hi,
    We have a user and when she get an item assigned to her she sees the following alert:
    "There are multiple users with the same display name USERNAME and at least one of them does not have read permissions to some of the files"
    Now I looked in the database and when I run the following query with the username:
     SELECT     
         [ProviderDisplayName]  
        ,[DisplayName]  
        ,[HasDisplayName]  
        ,[Domain]  
        ,[AccountName]  
        ,[UniqueUserId]  
        ,[LastSync]  
      FROM [Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_Identity] where displayname like '%USERNAME%'  
    Then I get 2 same usernames back, How can I get rid of one of them ? When I access TFS trough the portal I only find 1 occurence of this user.
    We use VS2013 and TFS2013 update 4
    Best regards

    Hi DSW,  
    Thanks for your post.
    In your query result, please check if these two users have the same Account Name. if they are two different Account Name in result, it indicate there’s two users have the same display name in your AD, please check that two users’ information in
    your AD. We suggest change one user’s display name in AD.

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

  • How to make Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP  Pages to PDF available for multiple users connected to the same Citrix server

    Hi,
    In my previous endeavours to solve this business requirement where multiple users will be able to use the Adobe acrobat feature to convert SAP pages inside SAP to PDF, I was told that it is not possible to do this for multiple users at the same time. However I have found an article according to which it says it is possible. Could you check it once and let me know if this article can be used for implementing the requirement stated above as this link clearly indicates that Adobe Acrobat is supported on Citrix.
    Please find the link below where it states it is adobe acrobat is supported in Citrix for multiple users.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/citrix.html.

    1. What is the Acrobat feature that you mean? There's nothing specific to SAP included with Acrobat.
    2. Yes, some Terminal Server configurations appear supported (check carefully). All users of the terminal server will need a license, so far as I know - total licenses = total individual people using.
