whats the difference between stratus and flash media server 4

408 views Asked by At

I want to create a simple video chat application using rtmfp the new p2p feature. It's available in flash media server 4 and using stratus, I've only been able to find tutorials on stratus. So my question is if I want to use the p2p feature in flash media server 4 do I have to signup for stratus and use its api or does fms 4 have its own api?

What is your goal? If you need to make just a videochat, you can use FMS only, without stratus. Just connect to server, perform connection accept on serverside, and then you can use publish and play methods of NetStream class. But if you want to perform videochat through p2p, than you do not need FMS (because the main idea of p2p - communication without server), but still you can use FMS for managing clients, and perform video streaming through stratus.
