Hi there guys!

I just was wondering if out there exists some plugin that would permit  
to rails to interact directly with the flash streaming server Red5 for  
purpose of video collaboration!

I searched around the net and i didn’t find anything, so i’m passing the  
question to the community!

There’s the openlaszlo\_plugin and rOpenLaszlo which will get you  
half-way there. I’m also working on an open source a/v  
recording/playback component and interested in making the Flash a/v  
behavior a bit more accessible to Rails thru OpenLaszlo.

Are you still looking for something in this area?
