Hi all,

I have gotten video conferencing working, using the examples provided and implementing them in flash cs6.

however, the video will not stream, if i switch it to the front camera. I have did a trace, and it actually detected user enter, user publish cast.

Once i switch it to the back camera, the video streams fine. Both are using the exact same coding, other than the one that changes them to either the front or back.

Does anybody knows anything about this?

You're using Adobe AIR, I suppose. Right?
Maybe they have some specific documentation on how to get the stream from either cameras?

Hi Lapo,

thanks for the really quick reply!

We are able to get the stream from the front camera, and it is displaying fine on the ipad itself, but on the receiving end, even though we received notification on user publishing cast, there is nothing being displayed.

Once we switch to the back camera, the stream is being displayed again.

Hi,
I have no experience with streaming from iOS using Air. It sounds like a problem from Air itself.
You could check the bandwidth from client (iPad) to server to see if the server is actually receiving any data. This at least could tell you if the client is really streaming when the front camera is engaged.
