Hi All, I think I’ve just managed to prove Nigel’s Law. Which states :
“If, at any time for a hosted service, you specify a release date
publicly, that date will slip.” So, we encountered an issue building the
latest SDK (it’s a really boring story, involving certificates, which I
won’t get into). We’re not going to make any changes today, but what
we’ll do is this : 1) a quick update to the SDK will come in the next
few days. No service changes will occur at that point, so you won’t be
required...
Hi Alex,On 11/03/11 - a new LCCS SDK will be released Correct.On
11/03/11 - servers are upgraded Correct.users on LCCS 2.1.0 and below
will NOT get their sessions recorded Incorrect. They will be able to
record sessions.and will NOT be able to play them back. Partially
correct – they’ll be able to play back any recording made prior to
11/03, but not ones after, without a recompile.Also won't be able to
playback older sessions Incorrect. These should be fine. As to releasing
early – would an earl...
Hi folks, I'm sorry to have to announce this, but we're in the process
of making some upgrades to our service infrastructure (upgrading some
FMSes, specifically, to address security), and it's going to have an
unintended side-effect. In the FMS version we got, new method calls are
being embedded in the FLVs we record, and there's no way to turn them
off =(. This means that clients which try to play back those FLVs need
to have code to catch those method calls, or an exception will be
thrown. It'...
Hi Davis, I'm including a basic app which will help you inspect messages
in FLVs. Make an AIR project and include the files in this zip. From
there, run the app and you should be able to select __StreamOffsets.flv,
and it will tell you the relative start times of every stream in the
recording. hope that helps - note, this code is provided AS IS, etc,
etc, YMMV. nigel
Hi Josh, Sorry, only Speex and Nellymoser are supported for live
encoding. With Player 11, g.711 is also included, but this also uses
phone-like voice compression (eliminating a lot of frequencies).
Essentially, the live microphone for the Flash Player is optimized for
voice rather than live music streaming. nigel
Hi nwtreker, Adobe has never sold on-premise licenses for LCCS. We have
had an agreement w/ ConnectSolutions whereby they could also provide
hosting – this also wasn’t on-premise. If you’d like to discuss pricing
models other than the PPU model we offer off-the-shelf, feel free to
contact us at (product acronym)@adobe.com. As a caveat, we typically
only discuss alternative pricing when there is upside for both parties.

Hi there, If the question is : “How can I purchase LCCS to bring it
in-house”, the answer is that we don’t offer it that way – LCCS is,
fundamentally, a hosted service, and we don’t plan to offer it for
on-premise install. hope that helps nigel
Sorry, this is really confusing. You say you *are* seeing the event
handler fire when you start up the app? And now, you're somehow causing
the numeric stepper to trigger further setCustomUserField calls, but
you're not seeing that fire events? How are you hooking up the stepper
to the setCustom call? I don't see any code for that. nigel
Hi Ritu, So, you're saying you don't see a custom field change handler
get fired? If that's the case, it's the code that's calling
setCustomUserField which isn't working. Are you running this application
with developer credentials? If you step into that code, do you see it
succeeding in doing anything in the LCCS codebase? nigel
Hi Ritu, My guess in this case is that the data binding you're doing in
the stepper doesn't work with objects 2-levels deep
(data.customFields.score). Could you add an eventlistener to userManager
for UserEvent.CUSTOM_FIELD_CHANGE, and see if your changes are actually
being round-tripped to the service? What evidence do you have that the
userCollection is being updated? I don't see anything in the code above
(the trace there happens too soon to tell). If your changes are
generating events, the n...
Thanks for the feedback Bernard – it’s possible that the client SDK is
trying to be “too smart” here and re-applying settings on the fly. There
was a bug in a prior Flash Player version that we’re working around –
setting the silence level to something other than 0 for Speex was
leading to dropped audio. But I’m still not sure I understand how or
when you’re reapplying the codec here – I don’t see anything other than
the silence level. Could you describe in more detail the frequency of
the probl...
Hi there, Have you tried using the NellyMoser codec, rather than Speex?
AFAIK, there's no way to get Speex to change its frequency range - some
folks have found NellyMoser to be better for their specific case (Speex
is really meant to encode human speech rather than music). You're
actually welcome to use the Microphone class rather than Microphone
manager to change settings we don't expose. I don't think changing the
sample rate would have a negative impact (just more bandwidth). nigel
Hi All, We looooove LCCS, but we also recognize that if you're building
a social site or application, its capabilities are one element of the
overall picture - you still need to build your own user profiles, etc.
One of the things we've been working on is a set of APIs to help solve
some of the problems LCCS leaves for you to deal with, making the entire
offering stronger as a whole. I don't want to get too much deeper into
it here. If you'd like to learn more, check out our site :

Hi there, In order to set a custom user field, you have to round-trip it
through the service - the line you've got in the creationComplete
handler won't be enough. In general, the "descriptor" classes are meant
to describe the state of the app, but can't be manipulated directly -
you refer to the appropriate manager class' APIs to make changes (which
will then be reflected in updates to the descriptors). In this case, the
API you want is here :

Sorry, nothing by default. You can also create several webcamsubscribers
(each one with its own publisherIDs, one per publisher), and position
them any way you'd like. nigel
Hi Hinne, I’m pretty sure there isn’t an issue with the service at these
times – we’d be hearing from a lot more folks than yourself if that were
the case. I’d suggest that there’s likely something in your application
code making it hang. Without more detail, that’s about as much help as I
can offer. nigel
Hi Hinne, Not sure what you want us to say =)... Define “hang”? Is it 1
minute or 3 minutes? Why would Friday, Sat, or Sunday have anything to
do with it? nigel
Hi, If you’re looking to have the whiteboard cleared between sessions,
configuring its model to be sessionDependent will do so. If you just
want to programmatically clear the whiteboard, try looking at the docs
for sharedWBModel
:http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/acrobatcom/com/adobe/rtc/pods/sharedWhiteBoardClasses/SharedWBModel.html
you can get the set of shapeIDs, and remove them all, as needed. nigel
The docs are basically saying that you get to specify those details when
you create the auth token. Take a look at the PHP serverIntegration
libs, and you’ll see that getAuthenticationToken accepts name, role,
userID, etc, as parameters which you can supply. nigel
Well, thanks for that clarification ;). Have you tried googling this
error? We’ve definitely covered this subject plenty here on the forums.
You can also watch the videotutorial in the SDK Navigator having to do
with permissions, which addresses it as well. hope that helps nigel
Hi Bernard, Sorry fot the inconvenience - as part of the improvements to
the webcamsubscriber, we did make some changes to the layout system, in
order to make it easier to control. So, it might not be as good at
automatically guessing the layout you'd like, but you'll much more
easily be able to force it to do exactly what you want. Here's the new
property we added to webcamSubscriber: usersPerRow:int [read-write]
Specifies the number of user videos to show per row in the
webcamsubscriber. Once ...

Hi, The problem with selectedChild is that it’s reference-based, rather
than value based. This means, to set the selectedChild I have to have a
reference to all the children; there’s no way to send a reference to a
particular Object across the network and have it be shared, which is why
I went with “index”. If you’re using Flex 4+, the new “states” mechanism
also avoids this problem (and is much nicer), by letting you shared the
name of the current state. nigel
Hi Thomas (sorry for the delay) : 1. no - we don't provide a way to
re-encode like fmle does.2. yup, some of the cluster is definitely FMS3.
nope.4. RTMPS, technically.5. You can configure it to save the data or
not.6. I suppose you could do a lot of it, but you'd still have to
figure out some pretty tough problems, and operate it yourself.nigel
On the surface, it looks as though you’re doing the right thing... You
say you’re POSITIVE (trace statements, for example) that it’s going into
the code block you’ve detailed? The server shouldn’t have any impact on
the encoding (in fact, it would be REALLY expensive to have it do
anything around transcoding). nigel
