It seems there are quite a few issues with Adobe products running on the new Mac OS X Lion One that affects us the most is the fact that the Privacy modal window in Flash Player asking you for permission to access your webcam can not be used anymore. The buttons don’t click. Our friends at http://www.userplane.com/ have posted a workdaround for it that involves going into your System Preferences. Hopefully a new version of Flash Player will be released soon by Adobe that adresses this issue.

This morning at IBC in Amsterdam Adobe launched Flash Media Server 4. There will be 3 editions (Streaming, Interactive and Enterprise) + the free Developers edition. Check out the comparison matrix to see what’s included in each! Most notable improvements are: 64 bit support –> increased performance p2p/rtmfp support -> we’ll be able to do commercial p2p apps on top of FMIS4 Now the bad news: the price is the same, in the US the Streaming edition is about $995.00 and the Interactive edition is about $4500 . the p2p/rtmfp goodies are only available in the Enterprise edition (very expensive) but hopefully Adobe’s FMIS hosting partners like influxis.com will offer rtmfp/p2p support as standard in their hosting offers.

Starting with build 900, AVChat 3 introduces a new security feature called “token based authentication”. When enabled this prevents 3’rd party swf files (hosted on other web sites than your own or by malicious users) to connect to your media server. There are other security measures in place to prevent this however token based authentication is the most secure! This feature is turned off by default because with it enabled: it takes slightly more time for users to connect to the media server, it might cause some connection attempts to the media server over slow Internet connections to fail we’ve only had a few clients that really needed this feature! How o turn it on: install AVChat edit the settings[…]
AVChat is pretty secure out of the box, however, there are steps you and your developers can take to make your AVChat installation even more secure. We have now grouped these steps in a NEW SERVICE we’ll offer called Secure your AVChat installation. The service is priced at $199. We will annalyze your AVChat and media server installation and propose/implement security measures against a broad range of attacks. These are some of the measures we will take: Secure the data exchange between the clients and the media server by using rtmpe or rtmps instead of plain rtmp. RTMPS communication leverages the proven security of SSL to wrap your RTMP session. RTMPE-based communication offers some of the benefits of RTMPS, but[…]
