Configuring P2P Settings for Flash Player

Did you ever approved or disabled p2p for a website, checked remember box and now you don’t know how to change that setting?

 

Access Flash Player Global P2P Settings panel using this link below:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager09.html

 

Use Delete all websites button to have flash ask you again for each site.

 

Use this panel to specify peer-assisted networking settings for any website you have visited. To learn about peer-assisted networking and how to decide whether or not to enable it, see What is Peer-Assisted Networking?

For each website you have visited, the list of Visited Websites displays:

  • The name of the website that you have visited
  • The peer-assisted networking setting for the website

Change networking settings

To specify settings for a particular website, select the website in the Visited Websites list, and then change its settings as desired. The following list explains the options:

  • If you don’t want this website to share your bandwidth and you don’t want to be asked again, select Always Deny.
  • If you do want this website to share your bandwidth and you don’t want to be asked again, select Always Allow.
  • If you want Flash Player to always ask you before sharing your bandwidth, select Always Ask.

Disable P2P uplink for all

To never share your bandwidth, select Disable P2P uplink for all. This setting affects sites you have already visited and sites you haven’t yet visited. If you deselect this option, your previous settings for individual websites (if any) are restored.

Update /etc/enviroment

You may need to reboot.

 

Update:
apt-get update

Install Subversion:
apt-get -y install subversion

Install tools to build your own Debian packages:
apt-get -y install dpkg-dev debhelper dh-make devscripts fakeroot

apt-get -y install java-package
apt-get -y install sun-java6-jre
apt-get -y install sun-java6-jdk
java -version

mv apache-ant-1.8.4 /usr/local/ant
export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
/usr/local/ant/bin/ant -version

Download the latest development version of Red5:
svn co http://red5.googlecode.com/svn/java/server/trunk red5-trunk

Run ant to build red5:
cd red5-trunk
/usr/local/ant/bin/ant

Deploy red5:
mkdir /usr/local/red5
cp -R dist/* /usr/local/red5/
cd /usr/local/red5
chmod 755 red5.sh

Deploy your custom apps in/usr/local/red5/webapps .
In example VideoWhisper Red5 RTMP application needed to run VideoWhisper solutions.

Start Red5 in background:
cd /usr/local/red5
./red5.sh >> red5.log &

Verify the correct ports are being bound to:
netstat -ant

 

You need to restart red5 each time you add webapps to /usr/local/red5/webapps or change configuration or restart server.

Close Red5:
cd /usr/local/red5
./red5-shutdown.sh

Or kill Red5 processes:
ps aux | grep red5
kill $process_id

Then start it again:
cd /usr/local/red5
./red5.sh >> red5.log &

 

Can also deploy it as service to start automatically on server boot:

vi /etc/init.d/red5

#! /bin/sh
# put these contents at: /etc/init.d/red5
# change red5 directory path below as necessary
RED5_DIR=/usr/local/red5

start()
{
echo “Starting Red5 Service”
sudo su root -c “cd $RED5_DIR; ./red5.sh > /var/log/red5.log &”
return
}

stop()
{
echo “Shutting down red5”
sudo su root -c ‘killall red5 java’
return
}
