[Red5] FMS 3.5 announced

[Daniel Rossi]

I've just implemented a bandwidth detection and cluster plugin into  
flowplayer that supports wowza, fms and red5. The bandwidth detection  
happens on startup though, or on demand, it would have to be  
constantly detecting bandwidth somehow during playback, and no idea  
how it would be able to switch "seamlessly" without buffering as what  
they claim it can do, so switch to lower quality at the exact point it  
drops out. I think its an extension to NetStream correct ? Maybe it  
sets up the others streams in the background in the flash player is  
that even possible ?

Have a look at these anyway it may be of interest.
