Question

Check if stream exist on server side

I have an application to which a user publishes live stream . Before publishing stream I need to check if stream already exist . How can I do that ? I used

myStream = Stream.get(streamName)

if(myStream){

     trace("Exist");

}else{

     trace("Not Exist");

}

It always returns true and it looks like it creates a stream if it doesnt exist . How else can I check this ? If stream already exist and if some one replublishes it , stream looks little jittery .

Go for Stream.length() found on the same doc page.

Stream.length returns 0 always for a live stream even though the stream already exist on server , and is playing . Is it only for files and not live streams ?
