The video recorder allows site users to record webcam videos easily from website pages. This can be use on various sites to implement online features like: + video sharing, on demand video content
+ video messaging, video email
+ video content on member profiles, video teasers, video questionnaires
+ video comments for online posts and items, video discussions, video forums
Videos are recorded as flv files on the rtmp server and can be played trough the rtmp protocol or by http players as on youtube (if published to a web accessible location).
With the latest VideoWhisper rtmp applications versions, webmasters can enable external player support (both for FMIS and Red5). This can be enabled from RTMP Application Settings.
You need to have allowPlayers=true for FMIS or acceptPlayers=true for Red5 . These settings are turned on by default.
This will allow playing a stream published by a VideoWhisper flash application like Live Streaming with an external player like JW Player.
Demo:
Publish a stream from Live Streaming Demo (i.e. Studio1) and then view it on JW Player. Update channel name in link if you’re using a different one.
Also this code could be used for playing a Studio1 stream broadcaster with VideoWhisper Live Streaming. Make sure you have swobject.js and player-viral.swf in that folder.
<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>
<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('player-viral.swf','mpl','320','320','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','Studio1.flv');
so.addVariable('volume','5');
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://your-rtmp-server/videowhisper');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.addVariable('quality','false');
so.write('mediaspace');

Screen sharing requires a driver to capture the screen and simulate a webcam. There are multiple webcam simulation drivers of this type, commercial and free software packages. We tested the VH Screen Capture Driver that can be downloaded for free (for personal use).
With the screen capture driver enabled you just have to select the new “webcam” in flash (right click the flash and select from settings in any flash video chat software).
Only the user that shares his screen needs to have this type of driver installed. Those running tutoring, consulation, support websites can purchase a commercial software package that includes this type of driver (i.e. Camtasia Recorder with the Live Output feature).
Most drivers allow defining a zone to capture and even rezising the output. Chat applications usually require a 320×240 webcam stream at 15fps so you should configure output to that if possible.
Another popular method for screen sharing (as seen on youtube), but less professional is pointing your webcam to the screen.
Here is our test with the VH Screen Capture driver:
