Question

How can an administrator play streams published to FMS?

I have decided to rephrase a question I have posted earlier, in fear it was misunderstood.

I need to be able to play any stream published to our FMS application, without connecting to the application as regular users do. I am an administrator and the service is ours. Can I do so using Administration API, for instance? I sure can get the list of the streams, but I have not found a way to stream these as video yet. I am building an application not unlike Admin. console, but with more functions that we need. If Admin. console seems to be able to play streams, it must be possible?

    U can't do that because the admin (1111) connection can't get the resources regular users (1935 etc.) publish. The admin console displays instance data at the expense of an extra (regular) connection when debugging is enabled.

    The admin console also is able to play streams, no matter the kind of application.


    Which is why I am asking this...

    Well read my reply more attentively. Like I said, it can do that because it does a supplementary regular (1935) connection to your app instance and hence the users' resources become available. That extra connection is possible when the debugging is on. Have you noticed when you play a stream from an admin console and extra connection is brought up? That's the reason.
