I am trying to create a Flex 4 application to stream video in mpeg-ts format. The video is encoded in H.264 and the audio in mp3/AAC. I am unable to figure out the approach I should take. Is it possible to download mpeg-ts chunks and then play it in Flex. Any suggestions/help appreciated.

Thanks, Soumya

    if you want to *stream* video, you need a *streaming* server. – J_A_X Aug 29 '11 at 07:08
  • I am trying to build something so that I can support Apple's HLS instead of using a streaming server like Flash Media Server. I need to download the mpeg-ts chunks and stitch them together in Flex so that it plays smoothly. – Soumya Das Aug 29 '11 at 10:27

I would highly recommend looking at Red5, Wowza, or Flash Media Server. These are excellent applications that can stream just about anything to flash in a very high performance manner. Red5 is free. Both have extensive documentation and examples.

    I wanted to avoid RTMP based streaming. I want to primarily focus on http based streaming technologies. Http pseudostreaming also seems an option. – Soumya Das Sep 29 '11 at 09:34
  • Flash Media Server 4.5 does http streaming and dynamic (adaptive) http streaing using auto switching between different bitrate streams. – JTtheGeek Sep 29 '11 at 19:10

Instead of using mpeg-ts, flv can be used as the container for the specified codecs. It would work perfectly fine.
