Hi all -
I’m a C# Slverlight programmer. My product right now, embeds a flash player in a div on the silverlight page, for both sending to Wowza EC2 and receiving from. I use the EC2 image stock using the Video application - because I’m not a java programmer and don’t want to have to configure new streaming servers - I just want to spin up new ones as needed and be set to go.
This has been working ok, but I would like to be completely Silverlight based. Meaning I would like to capture the live webcam streams via Silverlight, and play the incoming rtmp streams in Silverlight as well.
First, is this a viable option at this time? IE is latency low enough, and reliability and synchronization high enough?
Second, is their an easy way for me to achieve this without being a Linux expert or Java expert?
Thanks for the information! I did find forum posts on using Silverlight, but the Java and Linux went over my head. I’d like a group chat example for Silverlight, and possbly an EC2 image with the proper application already configured.
Thanks much,
James
PS. If you would like to see how I’m using Wowza EC2 now, with flash, you can get a free account at http://itabletop.com. If this would help you understand what I’m trying to do with just Silverlight.
