The wait is finally over! Answering to the rising demand for mobile video delivery, Influxis is introducing its very own mobile streaming service: Influxis Mobile.
We’ve designed it to be easy-to-use, and it is optimized and HTML5-ready for all mobile platforms. The best thing is that our current Influxis FMS customers can sign up for a complimentary upgraded free Influxis Mobile account right from the Influxis Wizard, and easily import all their video files over to our Mobile delivery service. A standard free account is also available on the Influxis Mobile website (yeah, let your friends know). These free accounts have no expiration or contract to worry about. You can simply sign up and start using Influxis Mobile and experience firsthand what we call the “Easy Mobile Streaming”.
Check it out today at MOBILE.INFLUXIS.COM.
Easy Mobile Streaming!

Hi Everyone,
It has finally happened, haXe is now supported by fdt! Influxis has believed for a couple of years now that haXe is an excellent, optimized language for coding web applications and has the potential to become a new standard. We are very glad to have helped make possible the haXe fdt plugin. Thank you very much to PowerFlasher and many friends in the community for all of your feedback, assistance and support.

Today Mashable posted an article on how AIR for Android can help Android compete with Apple’s Facetime Mobile Video Chat system which you can find here:
http://mashable.com/2010/07/20/android-video-calling/
Of course we need to wait for Android devices that not only have forward cameras (EVO) but also access to FroYo (Android OS 2.2). But once that happens you can port your own Video Chat code you’ve been using for years with FMS to AIR for Android within 5 minutes!
First, open your Video Chat App and change the Publish Settings to AIR Android. Then add this to your VideoChatApp-app.xml:
<android>
<manifestAdditions>
<manifest>
<data><![CDATA[
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>
]]></data>
</manifest>
</manifestAdditions>
</android>
And that’s it! You’ve got your Flash based version of Facetime, but it’s a little bit better, because ours goes to the Web as well. Pretty awesome right? I’ll be updating tomorrow with code for RTMP based Mobile Video Chat and RTMFP based Mobile Video Chat, Multicasting, Audio Chat (Skype), and Text Chat.
Stay tuned!

Many social networking sites allow you to directly embed a Flash (SWF) file onto your profile or blog including Facebook, but the process for Facebook is a bit different.
The only way to add a SWF to Facebook is on a “Page,” i.e. Fan Page, or Business Page. These are Public profile pages because no privacy settings can be defined and are open to everyone.
The first step of this process is to create a page: Read the rest of this entry »

For a while now, I’ve been talking about the awesome new Real Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP), and how it’s a major evolution for the Flash Player. Unfortunately, Peer to Peer server systems are not the easiest things to be blown away by. Who really knows how amazing a Distributed Hash Table is? Or that NetGroups are essentially using a Ring Topology? Answer: less than 100 people.

Ricca Racing does its first live in-car streaming at 150 mph with Influxis’ Flash Media Interactive Server hosting.
Company: Ricca Racing (www.riccaracing.com)
Ricca Racing Contact: Matt Espinoza, Chief Technology Officer
Influxis Contact: Grant Garrett, VP of Global Business Development (Twitter: @influxisgrant)
The video camera aboard the race car to stream the video live.
Challenges
- Ricca Racing, a subsidiary of 240SXMotoring, needed a reliable streaming host to distribute the live audio/video stream coming out of their race car. It had to be cost effective and customizable to their needs with a no-nonsense solution in addition to top-notch customer support. The landscape of Redline Time Attack is fast paced and unpredictable so proven reliability is a must. This all went down at the New Jersey Motorsports Park in Melville on April 10 ~ 11.
- The connection to the FMS server needed to be straight forward and able to recover quickly from rapid connects and disconnects since the live streaming location was switched rapidly between the car and the pit during the race.
