The following diagram shows the flow of control described in the previous steps:. The diagram uses a video list page as an example of a page the user could request from your web application, but this could be any page. The Web Application component is written and managed by the DuraCloud subscriber.

While this diagram may seem complex, the vast majority of the work is done for you by DuraCloud and CloudFront. As noted above, you need to make one call to retrieve the signed cookies URL, then respond to the user redirecting them to that URL. The rest of the flow for setting cookies is handled outside of your application. The user is then returned to your application in order to continue to search for media content, and that content is displayed in the same way as with open streaming.

RTMP Streaming

The Media Streaming capabilities provided by DuraCloud allow video and audio files to be streamed over RTMP. This feature in DuraCloud takes advantage of Amazon CloudFront streaming, so files to be streamed must be within spaces on an Amazon provider. This type of streaming uses the Flash Media Server to host streaming files over RTMP. File formats supported include MP3, MP4 and FLV among others. For a full listing of supported file types see the Flash Media Server documentation.
