macromedia flash flashcom: My company has live streams for CNN and NASA TV using VBrick. The direct URL's
can be accessed through our internal network via a link similar to
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/vbs2d1.sdp .

Is there any way I can have this stream through a Flash interface I create
using a Flash Media Server? I've streamed live video via my webcam via Flash,
but not sure if this kind of connection to a live TV broadcast would be
possible.

Thanks!

You can't do it directly (FMS and the flashplyer don't support mp4), but you
can make it happen with just a little bit of sloppiness.

What you could do is receive the streams from Nasa and CNN on a machine with a
video output (we'll call this "machine A"), and run your .swf (the one that
connects to FMS) on another machine ("machine B") with a video input (like a
capture card).

You would connect the video out/audio out of machine A to the video in/audio
in of machine B. Then it's just a matter of selecting the video input as the
camera for the .swf (using the settings dialog).
