Chaining live video stream

Question

Hello :
 
 I have a problem of server side "Stream class" and rebublish
live video stream. 
 In brief, I assume the live video stream can be chained
between 2 or more Flash media server, the server side code is (from
FMS online documents) :

application.onAppStart = function(){
 trace("::: Application has started :::");
}
application.onConnect = function(client){
 application.acceptConnection(client);
} 
application.myRemoteConn = new NetConnection();
application.myRemoteConn.onStatus = function(info){
 trace("Connection to remote server status " + info.code +
"
");
 };
application.myRemoteConn.connect
("rtmp://192.128.1.264/FMS_test");
application.myStream = Stream.get("showvideo");
if (application.myStream){
 application.myStream.play("showvideo1", 0, -1, false,
application.myRemoteConn );
}

This server-side code is placed on a computer which ip
address is 192.128.1.163 , and I want to take 192.128.1.264 as
"main flash media server" , so I assumed the former
computer(192.128.1.163) can "get" the live video stream published
from the later computer ( 192.128.1.264), and play the stream with
a different name "showvideo1", then I placed some code on a flash
movie :
 
client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.128.1.163/FMS_test");
client_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
client_video.attachVideo(client_ns); 
client_ns.play("showvideo1");
 
 In theory, if the former computer(192.128.1.163) can
"republish" the live video stream from 192.128.1.264, I should see
the live video on this flash movie, but I didn't see anything,
could anyone tell me what's wrong with my code, or I had
misunderstood the concept ?

Well, you are doing everything right, except for a couple of things

application.myStream cannot get "showvideo" from the external server, this is a local stream. You should assign an internal name for that stream (to which clients will subscribe) using the get() method, then tell this stream to play the external stream using the play() method. Its a little confusing what "showvideo" and "showvideo1" represent so I will assume:

showvideo1 = stream playing on external FMS (192.128.1.264);
showvideo = local stream to which clients subscribe

so:

//create a local stream an assign name "showvideo"
application.myStream = Stream.get("showvideo");

//play external stream
application.myStream.play("showvideo1", 0, -1, false, application.myRemoteConn );

-----Client side --------

//subscribe to the stream "showvideo"
client_ns.play("showvideo");
