Adobe publishing RTMP spec
From the press release:
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced plans to publish the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) specification, which is designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe® Flash® Platform technologies.
The RTMP specification is expected to be posted on the Adobe Developer Connection in the first half of 2009.
You can read the entire press release here.
Very cool. I wonder if this is at all in response to the fact that many companies have reverse-engineered the protocol by now (Red5, Wowza, ElectroServer, etc), and thus there is no advantage to Adobe to keep it secret?

@alexi
The press release says that the info isnt available yet, but, there should probably be a place holder page there.
I have pinged the team about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Or maybe its just the fact that in general, we have been moving toward being more open with the flash platform (i.e. Flex, SWF, RTMP, etc…).

Will it be just RTMP or RTMFP too? Opening RTMFP would create an extremely large gamut of things to happen in Flash platform arena.

I’m not sure whether to feel happy for the developers who reversed engineered it already or to feel sad for them.

That’s great news :) Would be nice to have a RSS feed for http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp/ so we can check it out the moment it’s released. Is that possible Mike?

Complete documentation on RTMP and how it works step by step would be awesome for developers world wide.
Imagine desktop applications and games that could use vocal authentication and record audio streams by breaking down the flv and extracting the audio with ffmpeg.
Awesome future. Adobe will make a mint from the developer, designers, and companies that have been waiting to get in on the game.
If they would just make air application able to record audio from a flash stream, it would save developers so much time and money, and provide even more reason to choose adobe products for content creation.
