Free Flash Media Server Alternatives

Posted: 09 Jun 2010 11:01 AM PDT

Today, many projects are built around real-time communication (text, voice or video) like collaboration tools, chat applications and much more.

Adobe® Flash® Media Server is probably the most widely used solution for streaming video and real-time communication. It is a stable product that has been experienced for years and used by many companies.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a free solution to stream your media, there are so few alternatives that you can rely on.

And here are 2 of them (if you know any other free and solid ones, please share):

Red5

Red5 Flash Server

Red5 is an open source Flash server that is written in Java and supports:

  • streaming audio/video (FLV, MP3, F4V, MP4, AAC, M4A)
  • recording client streams (FLV only)
  • shared objects
  • live stream publishing (Sorenson, VP6, h.264, MP3, AAC and more)

It has installers for OSX and Windows. Also, it can be downloaded as a zip file to be used in any OS.

Mammoth Server

Mammoth Flash Server

Mammoth is also an open source Flash streaming server that is built with C++ and can run on Windows and *nix OSs.

It can stream all Flash codecs like h263, h264, mp3, vp6, speex, nellymoser, etc.

By using FFmpeg it has has container support for most formats: mov, flv, mkv, mp3 and more.

The server is still in alpha phase but very promising.

 

If you know any other free and solid alternatives, please share and we'll be happy to add them to the list.

Free Crowd-Translation Platform For Multi-Language Websites: String

Posted: 08 Jun 2010 11:30 PM PDT

For multi-language websites, it usually gets difficult to manage the translations if the website is updated frequently and/or there are multiple translators.

String is a totally free and web-based platform for managing the language files of multi-language websites.

It enables you to import languages files (almost in any format) or start a project from scratch and start translating the strings.

String - Translation Platform

You can invite any number of users and let them help you with the translation process by controlling the user-based read/write permissions.

Once the translation is complete, simply export the language-files (PHP -array, define-, Yaml, .INI, .strings -for iPhone-, Po) and that's all.

The application has a very easy-to-use interface with features like "the ability to see revisions" or "commenting for each string" and much more.
