Live Stream status - is it ever "stopped"

Hi,

We are planning an audio-only live event in a few months (end of November) and are building the player now.

An issue that has come up is how to tell when the movie has actually stopped, ie: when I disconnect the flash media encoder. Is this possible with live events? All I get is "buffering".

Our backup plan is to check if the movie is "buffering" for a while (say a minute" and then determine that it has stopped.

    Did you try looking for
    NetStream.Play.PublishNotify(indicates that live stream has stared)
    and
    NetStream.Play.UnpublishNotify (indicates that publisher has stopped)

    Anyways, I still like your backup plan ! It would always in case FMS fails to deliver publish.stop notification.
