How to disable RTMFP peer introduction services on FMDS4?

Hello,

I've installed FLASH MEDIA DEVELOPMENT SERVER 4 for testing. I wonder if there is a way to disable Stratus/Cirrus peer introduction services included in this version of FMS, because I need to simulate Flash Media Interactive Server 4 (not the Enterprise version) to adjust my application properly for cheaper solution.

I am using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS and I want to test, what are the differences of usage and how to do it right, even implement a fallback, when no peer introduction services are working on the server.

Thanks.

    As there is no automatic fallback from P2P to client-server RTMFP when using NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS, the question has no sense.

    To be frank - i did not get your case properly - i mean why would want to disable RTMFP peer introduction services. If you want to develop application which would be based on Interactive server - by default RTMFP peer introduction services would be disabled - so you can develop your application without using RTMFP peer introduction services. Are you talking about developing a single client application which would work for Enterprise as well as Interactive Edition and that's the reason you want to distinguish at client side to fallback to Interactive edition behavior ? If that's the case you can simply check which server edition you are connected to and then fallback accordingly.

    Basically, I want to switch my Development Edition into Interactive Edition.

    I can't find any useful and thorough manual on how RTMFP behave on each separate version, so I decided to play with it and try it myself (because I have only Development=Enterprise Edition).

    And yes, I want to develop application that can fallback from peer introduction (P2P) to server managed (RTMFP) and more to TCP (RTMP) if neccessary.

    (I understand it that RTMFP can function in P2P and server-client scenario)

    (I want to solve the problem, that INFLUXIS doesn't host FMES4, but only FMIS4.)

    There is no difference between RTMFP as protocol on different editions, only thing is that P2P is not available on FMIS.

    I would suggest you simply develop an application which would use functionality available for FMIS and if you want to write bigger client with all functionalities including P2P - just do a check upfront - just use Admin API command getLicenseInfo to check which edition you are connecting to - if its FMES - use P2P else use FMIS way of doing things.
