Question

Dynamic streaming for live stream

Hello,

A few days back I came to know about dynamic streaming feature of FMS.

I read this link

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/dynstream_advanced_pt1.html

I read all information from above and related all posts.

Now my question/problem is,

Can we use DynamicStream to access and handle live stream user's web camera instead of normal NetStream?

Our application is like video conferencing.

In our application user's stream is not being stored on server. It is just being published as live.

Now when I publish user's webcam stream as "record" (in ns.publish("stream_name","record"))

I am able to get the stream.

But when I publish the stream as "live" (in ns.publish("stream_name","live"))

the stream is not being retrieved. Even sometimes I get an exception in "DynamicStream.as" provided by Adobe.

So any suggestions or hints are appriciable.

Thanks.

Hi,


Thanks for trying out Dynamic Streaming. I guess, for the Multi bit rate scenario and using Dynamic Streaming, Publishing still happens on separate netstreams with different publish instances and then all the mult-bit rated streams can be dynamically switched n played using this Dynamic Streaming class, making it a specific tool at the subscribing end only.

Hope the information is useful. Thank you !

First of all thank you very much for your precious reply.

Well ok I got your point about how this dynamic streaming actually works.

But my question is dynamicStream and NetStream should work in the same manner, right?

If so then why thier behaviour differece either we publish them "live" or "record".

Just tell me if you are not getting my question then will give you description in detail.

And once again very much thankful to you whatever your response will be.
