Can you use Flash Media Server instead of Ray?

Hi,

I'm new here and still in the process of doing the installation of Dolphin.  I have not installed the Ray Media Server as I have already purchased Flash Media Server.  I was hoping I could use that instead.  Is this possible?

Nope, as I was told Ray does not work with Flash Media Server yet. You will need RMS if you wan't the video chat.

For an update, I figured out how to get FMS working instead of RMS.
As a quick example of doing streaming videos with FMS, I replaced the swf file (i.e. holder.swf) which is used for the FLV player with my own FLV player. In the FLV player I reference my flash media server and have a copy of the movie/files/ directory copied onto the flash media server. I kept the variables being passed into flash the same for easier transitioning.

This is a simplistic overview of the process. In fact, holder.swf is not just an FLV player. If you follow the above process exactly, it'll cause side problems for you. Anyway, I hope this information is useful to someone.

HI
I have FMS server applications for Ray 3.5 that will allow you to use FMS instead of RMS. Contact me in private mailbox if you are interested.
