FMIS record stream as filetype fail

Question

I'm attempting to use FMIS to try and record a user's webcam as a file on the server.

Saving as .flv works fine but when i use

myStream.record("mp4:"+mystreamName+".f4v");

It creates the file but its only 20kb and empty.

Do I require a plug-in or component? Or do I have to record as FLV and then convert to another format?

As always appreciate the help guys.

BTW: are there any IRC channels that flash professionals hang out at? I'd like to plug into the community.

Thanks again

I think the problem is with your record statement , you never pass stream name as parameter for record call.

Can you do one of the following:

Publish using stream name as "mp4:myStreamName.f4v" and in record mode
Publish using stream name as "mp4:myStreamName.f4v" in live mode and record it on server by calling record in application.onPublish(see below example 1)
Publish using stream as "myStreamName" in live mode and record it on server using Stream.get and Stream.record (see below example 2)

Example 1:

application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){

myStream.record();

}

Example 2:

application.onPublish = function(myClient,myStream){

myStream.record();

}

Let me know if still you run into issues.
