<< does Flash support RTSP??? NO.

FLASH is a container, flv is for video and fla for audio. Now.. everything below is Adobe's product.

Adobe's    ----------------  Adobes's   --------------------- Adobe's
Streaming Server             RTMP Protocol                    Flash Player

a) Adobe's Streaming Server b) Adobe's RTMP Protocol c) Adobe's Flash Player d) F4v/Flv video format

These above software's are designed specifically for web applications to provide end user seamless, secured, uninterrupted, high quality video.

If you want some hands on then you can try Red5 (Open Source Flash Server written in Java) or rtpmd (C++ RTPM server)

Solution 2

Flash doesn't support RTSP. For streaming Flash uses RTMP.

RTSP spesification.

RTMP spesification.

BTW, what about VLC media player. VLC supports many formats and protocols including RTSP and exists on Win, Mac and Linux platforms.

Solution 3

There is now a player for this: Locomote Video Player. Disclaimer: I am the author.

Locomote supports RTSP (and RTMP[S,E,T], MP4 and FLV). It uses sockets to connect so a socket policy server is required.

    I have a home made RTSP server that streams video to QuickTime clients. Now, I need to support Flash Player clients, because QuickTime needs some configuration to work on Windows, and also there is no implementation of it in Linux distributions. Then I opted for Flash.

    BUT: does Flash support RTSP??? If not, where can I find documentation for its streaming protocol so I can build one?

    Any details on this will be appreciated... thanx!

    Author asked about Flash Player. Obviously, my 'Flash' was in this context. RTMP != RTSP. So flash player has not native support for RTSP protocol.
