Video Conf

[ccwiggam]

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to setup 1-1 video conference on my jaguarpc server account.

I am after a php or other server-side script to manage 1-1 webcam stream with no (or minimal) client side software required, just the webcam and mike.

eg. Does JagPC support Flash Communication server?

Any thoughts appreciated.

I wish I could help but I honestly would know the first step. We support flash but a flash communication server? Thats new to me.

I think he's talking about IceCast/Winamp, Flexcast A/V, or Macromedia Flash Streaming servers, et cetera, Jag, but I don't know for sure. Maybe he's just tossing out a question...

Bottom line: 'They' don't have anything like that available here on shared servers.

Of course, if you're colo'ed, running dedicated, or VPS, I suppose you could install whatever you want, ccwiggam...

Thanks for your comments VinDSL and Jag, was really just after any ideas where to start in case anyone has done anything similar.

I know tiscali (http://webcam.tiscali.co.uk) has created their site using:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashcom/
...but I was after a smaller scale version that I could customise and secure behind .htaccess. This I think is as you point out VinDSL it refers to Flash streaming servers, but suspect this may be a bit beyond a humble (but very functional) gigadeal, and also on a scale that I could not maintain.

Any thoughts still welcome. If I come across anything on a smaller scale, will post.

Cheers.
