- staunch 16y agoWhich is a relatively recent addition to Flash.
- pr0zac 16y agoHaha yeah, its a pretty awesome addition to Flash. I kind of gloss over that word because I hate Flash as much as the next hacker, but it provided a method to solve a problem that was plaguing John and I and was impossible to solve otherwise.
- enneff 16y agoYou should mention that it uses Flash. I have a Flash blocker installed, and when I tried Sendoid just now it simply failed to connect. I thought "What a piece of crap," and closed the tab.
- arkitaip 16y agoWould love to read more about your solution. Am I correct to assume that your business model will focus on licensing this technology?

- possibilistic 16y agoI'm really anxious to learn more about p2p tech so I can apply it to my research. Do you know any really good references, libraries, and or literature? How did you go about exploring it? Any advice? (Is RTMFP suitable for distributed data processing?) Also, congrats on your startup! You're working on a problem that is a major headache for all of us.
- wrl 16y agowhat are you using as the server? it's my understanding that RTMFP was only recently reverse-engineered.
- agazso 16y agoNot sure what Sendoid uses, but there is a project called Cumulus that implements an RTMFP server in C++. https://github.com/OpenRTMFP/Cumulus https://github.com/OpenRTMFP/Cumulus Haven't tried it yet, but the code looks pretty good.
- nl 16y agoIt's possible they are using Adobe Flash Server. On the client I presume it is Adobe Air (?)
- jodrellblank 16y agoWikipedia claims "RTMFP will not support file or document sharing.[citation needed]". Ha. Well done, that's a great idea.
