I've posted a similar question about the more general case, but this question deals specifically with RTMP.
We have an Adobe AIR app written in AS3 that can view live video streams from other parties. That being said, when trying to call BitmapData.draw()
on one of those remote video streams (technically we're calling ImageSnapshot.captureImage()
), we're getting a 2123 error - a security sandbox exception. I've seen a lot of people refer to a real simple configuration in the AMS that will allow this to work for RTMP streams, but they keep posting broken links, links to posts that only vaguely mention this configuration, etc. The one thing I did find is something that I'm having trouble applying:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_SS_ASD/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7ec3.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7fcb
To make the above work, I've tried setting audioSampleAccess
and videoSampleAccess
both to "/"
, but to no avail. On the AMS, in Application.xml, I've set these configurations:
<FolderAccess>true</FolderAccess>
<AudioSampleAccess enabled="true">*</AudioSampleAccess>
<VideoSampleAccess enabled="true">*</VideoSampleAccess>
I've also seen references to setting up a wide-open cross-domain policy file, but I've seen people emphasize that it's not necessary, and I don't see any clear mention of where on the server that policy file needs to be. I have, however, started setting NetStream.checkPolicyFile
to true
, and I have placed a cross-domain policy file in the root directory of the website itself (as opposed to the AMS).
Please don't just give me another link, unless it's to a quick, clear explanation. How do you configure the AMS to allow people to capture screenshots from RTMP video streams? For the above article, I've tried setting videoStreamAccess and audioStreamAccess both to "/", and even it didn't work. We also need to be able to do this for P2P RTMFP streams, but that's really a different question. Thanks.
