FMIS 3.5 Record Live Stream With Timestamp

Also, I posted you some code on another forum earlier ... but had only tested on my local dev server - when I tested online (I'm using Influxis), I found a gremlin at play - basically, in the earlier version, I was using the publish() method with a fileName, but without a "record" or "live" parameter to effectively end the live stream ... that way, when I played back from the incoming stream (the one that's written from the cache), it didn't continue recording the out stream from the live feed. That worked fine locally, but when I tested online, the non-existant type parameter was effectively saying "ditch the cache and empty the buffer" ... and I didn't have my recording :-(

So, what I did was add a couple of methods to my Main.asc file ... and then instead of using the publish(fileName) method on the stream ... I just close it.

The code I'm now using works fine:

THE Main.asc file I'm using is pasted below: (You might want to take out the first couple of lines if you're not with Influxis and never use the FLVPlayback component).

load("InfluxisVideoPlayer.asc");
load("flvplayback8.asc");
application.onConnect = function(myClient){
     return true;
}

application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){
     myStream.record( );
}

application.onUnpublish = function(myClient,myStream){
     myStream.record(false);
}
