Where are the text chat transcript files

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Both AVChat 2 and AVConference save by defaultĀ  all the text chat in text files on the video server.

You will find these transcript files in these folders:

If you use Red5: Red5/webapps/avchat22/avchat2_transcripts

If you use Flash Media Server 2 or Flash Media Interactive Server look in this folder: FMS/applications/avchat22/logs

You can also turn off the text chat logging:

If you use Red5

  1. edit this file red5/webapps/avchat22/avchat2.properties
  2. set the loggingEnabled variable to false (loggingEnabled=false)
  3. restart the Red5 server.

If you use Flash Media Server 2 or Flash Media Interactive Server:

  1. edit this file FMS/applications/avchat22/settings.asc
  2. set the application.loggingEnabled variable to false (application.loggingEnabled=false;)
  3. reload the avchat22 application using the FMS Admin Console.

AVRecorder Bundle 1.1

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

We have silently rolled out an update for our flash video recorder and player .

Here are the changes in the 1.1 version:

  • 4 Java Script hooks added, one for each button in the recorder (more on this later)
  • all strings can now be translated from the external en/videorecorder_en.xml
  • userId variable was added in the settings file and it can also be passed via flash vars,the userId is passed back later to save_video_to_db.XXX
  • 3 vars are now sent via GET to save_video_to_db.XXX, streamName, streamDuration and userId
  • Flash Player detection code
  • The name of the file to be played by the player can now be specified via both the avc_settings.XXX and via flash vars using the streamName variable

Bugs solved:

  • sometimes the [save] button enabled itself up after saving the movie

If you have purchased the AVRecorder 1.0 bundle in the past, just drop us an email and we will send you the updated version!
