Capture the live stream and than play it as vod

Hi Mark,

You can record a livestream by doing a server side record in you application. For example :

1. Create a folder called test under applications

2. Within this folder create a main.asc in any text editor and add :

var pubCount = 0;

application.onConnect=function(clientObj){

          trace("          on connect ");

          return true;

};

application.onDisconnect=function(clientObj){

          trace("          on disconnect "); 

};

application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){

  trace("          in application publish : " + streamObj.name);

  if(pubCount <= 1)

       streamObj.record("record");

  else

       streamObj.record("append");

  pubCount++;

}

application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){

trace("on unpublish : " + streamObj.type + ":" + streamObj.name);

streamObj.record(false);

}

3. You can then publish a stream with the container. If you're using FMLE publish as : mp4:sample.mp4, then the stream sample.mp4 will be recored.

You can then either host the recorded stream directly in AMS and use as vod file or run the post processor tool f4vpp and use it to play in vlc or other players.

Hope this hepls. Let me know if you have any other query.

Thanks,
