5 Open the StrobeMediaPlayback.html file in a browser and click Play.
The file streams from Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services to the local version of Strobe Media Playback.
6 You can also serve Strobe Media Playback and its supporting files from the Apache web server installed with Adobe
Media Server on Amazon Web Services. Copy the Strobe Media Playback files to the following directory:
/mnt/webroot
For example, create a folder /mnt/webroot/strobe. Copy the following files from the strobe_root_folder/10.1 folder
to the /mnt/webroot/strobe folder:
StrobeMediaPlayback.html, SampleMediaPlayback.swf, the images folder, the scripts folder, and the playlists
folder.
Load the following URL into a browser and click play:
http://public-dns/strobe/StrobeMediaPlayback.html
7 When you terminate the instance, the data is deleted. To keep the recorded stream, copy it to a storage volume (S3
or EBS). For information about transferring files, see
“Managing content” on page 30.
Live streaming
Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2
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 first tutorial uses a video player called Flash Media Playback. Flash Media Playback is hosted by Adobe and you
can embed it into any web page.
The second tutorial uses a video player called Strobe Media Playback. Host Strobe Media Playback on your own web
server.
