Forget cambozola, use macromedia flash!

[x-fede]

Hi!

Little trick (maybe it's not new...): in the settings, use "swf" as output format for ffmpeg... than you can just create a small html page with a flash object and the url of zoneminder to have a perfect, fluent, fast stream handled by flash.

Flash player is installed on nearly 99% of the computers and it can read multipart stream. I tested it on Mac & PC (not yet on linux).

Here's a simple example:

Phil: what about using it in zoneminder as an alternative to cambozola?

Code: Select all

My machines must all fall in that remaining 1% then.

nice hint..
but. the page never complete donload. a live stream will never finish.

and flash have a little more delay than swf. and use same bandwith that cambosola use.


i preffer cambozola or asf.

I've tryed asf and swf.
I observe that flash load more fast than asf. but I can't load more tha 2 (simultaneous) windows in mostage views.
