Live streaming

Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services has a built-in live application that streams live content to video players

running in Flash Player and AIR. These tutorials use video players built with the Open Source Media Framework

(

OSMF). OSMF simplifies the development of video players for the Flash Platform.

The tutorial uses a video player called Strobe Media Playback. Host Strobe Media Playback on your own web server.
