<p>Log Management and reporting from an Edge/Origin perspective.&nbsp;&nbsp; After&nbsp;the initial investment, my managers would really like to see some real numbers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Server Side ActionScript for real world problems.&nbsp; IE:&nbsp; Kicking Users off a 24/7 stream after 5 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Great suggestions. I can probbaly swing a presentation on Server Side Actionscript. Could you think of maybe the top 5-10 server side script functionality you would be interested in?</p> <p>I will also try and find a good person for the log management stuff in the future.</p>

<p>1.)&nbsp; Every 30 minutes a&nbsp;Client/Server "Nudge" asking&nbsp;"are you&nbsp;still there?", if&nbsp;twenty seconds ticks by with no response, the user is&nbsp;kicked, user response keeps user for another 30 minutes.</p> <p>2.)&nbsp;&nbsp;Server Side Client Hash trapping.&nbsp; Find a user's Hash, then never allow this person to view events on&nbsp;your servers or better yet, trap a user's hash to ensure this person "always" gets a seat to the requested streamed event, even if you have to kick others.</p> <p>3.) Database Event dispatching.&nbsp;&nbsp;An event occurs in the&nbsp;database (say... the field "lightSwitch" in a table&nbsp;is either turned On or Off) then&nbsp;dispatch this event each time it changes without using polling from the&nbsp;client and specifically using the FMS&nbsp;to push this data out to&nbsp;all clients currently&nbsp;running your FMS application.</p> <p>4.)&nbsp; User Count Load Balancing using SSAS to manage the number of total users allowed to view a given streamed event.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;Are you really wanting&nbsp;1 to&nbsp;6 more suggestions?</p>

Concerning SSAS. I would like to see some tips how to work with DB (I am interested in MySQL).

<p>Wireless Webcams that can be used to broadcast mobile video via FMS?</p>

<p>SSAS was a simple to work with.&nbsp; Client's and publishers and setinterval....more if you need help managing the number or amount of time a user is on your system..</p>

<p>Regarding log management - I recently finished coding a log parser and all I can say is.. Adobe's log format is the work of the devil incarnate! Additionally, the 'how to' documentation is *not* correct, and doesn't mention any of the pitfalls (like re-connecting events).</p>

<p>It would be great to see authentication and file plugins covered.</p>
