Add new features to publisher demo swf for VOD and Live

[steven]

The tool publisher.swf under swf/DEV_Deploy is a good tool for testing and I hope it can support more features. These features include:
VOD pause/resume
receiveAudio/receiveVideo support
fullscreen mode
playback buffer bug fixed

[joachim]

And it seems like setting the playback buffer doesn't always work - I'm seeing a delay between publisher and subscriber even though the buffer is set to 0.

A fullscreen (playback) option would be nice too.

Fixed in r2054, including the fullscreen option.

I moved the seek and playlist support from your original description into a new ticket:  http://jira.red5.org/browse/DEMOS-8

Perhaps you should add a version check: with 9,0,16,0 on windows I received the following error (english translation by me) and only see a blank window.

VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.events::FullScreenEvent could not be found.

at global$init()
at _org_red5_samples_publisher_view_monitor_MonitorControlBarWatcherSetupUtil$/init()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/::docFrameHandler()

After upgrading to the latest 9,0,45,0 everything works fine and I can now start testing APPSERVER-136 ;)

Sorry, gotta reopen this ;) The "Enable" checkboxes don't do anything. It doesn't matter which I select, I always see the video, hear the audio and never can get fullsceen. I'm testing with the latest Flash plugin in Firefox.

Oh and another nice feature would be to keep the aspect ratio of the video during playback and add black bars at the top and bottom.

Hi Joachim,

the 'FullScreenEvent could not be found.' error is only there when you load the swf directly in the browser (without a html wrapper). I added a new publisher.html file in r2056 that fixes this problem for FP 9,0,16.

The recieveAudio and recieveVideo settings do work, but there's a bug in Red5 that prevents them from working, see  http://jira.red5.org/browse/SN-22

I'll add your aspect ratio request to  http://jira.red5.org/browse/DEMOS-8

[joachim]

Right, fullscreen now works with the html. Is it normal that it's larger than the screen and the flash has scrollbars?

[thijs]

The playback buffer bug also should be fixed. Joachim, can you make a screenshot of that, I don't understand what you mean. I don't see any scrollbars here (mac osx, safari/firefox, fp 9,0,16, cinema 30inch) when I use fullscreen.

[thijs]

Ignore my previous comment, I also see the scrollbars on a lower resolution screen, and will fix that.
