Sooooo Tired!!!! but happy :)

  1. Its been a stressful few days! i had to uninstall all my adobe stuff and reinstall it again but its working fine now! Spend the last few days trawling through the internet trying to get some answers about how to get the webcam stuff working on my site. I tried downloading loads of webcam software trying to get something to work but ended up back where i started with the first one i tried and managed to get it working. I had to install FMDS(free version of the flash media server) then install a new version of php to interact with my FMDS install. A basic overview of FMDS is that it is needed to publish live video that is being sent from user1 to user2. After a few hours of experimenting, the line of code I needed to get my webcam sharing swf to work was in an index.html file that was installed with FMDS. In my webcam sharing swf, I was being asked for an RTMP root, I didn't know where I was meant to point this, but after a few hours of torment I stumbled across it and finally got it working! Now I just have to play around with it and get it to fit in my site properly for my "live jamming" and "live concert" sections! It has been really tiring and ive wanted to punch my laptop at times but its been rewarding, things are finally coming together!
