So one of my secret obsessions is with video. I like to record video. I like to watch it. I like everything about it. But what I really like about it is the technology behind it. Call me crazy but I love to figure out how to encode a clip or video and see how good I can compress it using different codecs. Maybe that’s why I love working where I work. Since I ‘m a Flash / Flex programmer I have been wanting to investigate different streaming solutions for flash and see what is available and what will work with my little at home project.
This little project I’ve been playing around with is trying to get my HDHomeRun (HDHR) to rebroadcast its live feed to flash. I’ve been investigating technologies like Red5, C++ RTMP Server and Flash Media Server. With anything that requires multiple pieces of different technologies. The hard part is integrating these different pieces together. Luckily the HDHR is open source. So that provides a lot of avenues for development. The only hard part is trying to get the MPEG-TS from the HDHR and convert it on the fly to something flash can use.
So far I haven’t been able to get any of the solutions to work. but as soon as I do I’ll post something here.
