Use Video and Mute Audio/Mic

[tgraupmann]

I'm using the SmartVideoConference example.

Is there a server variable to mute the audio playing and recording?

I'd like to enable video with RedBox, but skip sending/receiving the audio portion.

I want to mute all users.

Thanks,

~Tim

One hack I see is to alter the mime types on the audio formats. That way sound couldn't be received.

Code: Select all

Server/RedBox/conf/web.xml

When sending a live cast (AVCastManager.publishLiveCast method), set the enableMicrophone parameter to false.

Thanks. Ideally it would solve a boolean configuration parameter "enableMicrophone" in the redbox config and use that in all the AVCastManager.publishLiveCast calls.

Code: Select all

Flash API/RedBoxClient_AS3/examples/SmartVideoConference/src/SmartVideoConference.as:   var myStream:NetStream = avCastMan.publishLiveCast(true, true)

Do I need to recompile the flash after making changes to the source?

Or is the action script linked externally?

If necessary, are there any docs for compiling SmartFox?

/**

public function joinConference():void
{
   // Set from configs
   useVideo = true
   useMicrophone = false

   // Retrieve live casts already available
   for each (var liveCast:LiveCast in avCastMan.getAvailableCasts())
   {
      // Subscribe live cast and add to video container
      addLiveCast(liveCast)
   }
   
   // Publish my live cast
   var myStream:NetStream = avCastMan.publishLiveCast(useVideo, useMicrophone)
   
   if (myStream != null)
   {
      // Attach camera output
      myVCItem.attachCamera(Camera.getCamera())
      
      bt_joinConf.enabled = false
      bt_leaveConf.enabled = true
   }
}

Any hints on how to populate useVideo and useMicrophone Booleans from the config settings?

[tgraupmann]

It seems like that worked. Without compiling anything.

So is there a trick for reading config settings to store in my global var variables?

[tgraupmann]

I think I still need to compile the action script into the swf

Code: Select all

Examples\RedBox\SmartVideoConference\bin\SmartVideoConference.swf

.

For now I'll need to mute the mic like this.

Right click and select settings.

On the mic tab, turn the mic volume all the way down -

My mom is always hitting the mute button:

Right-click sound in the taskbar and select "recording devices":


Click the properties on your microphone:


Make sure you are not muted:
