Multipoint publishing problem stream not showing.

Hi there

I have been fighting with this for a while.

The problem.

I am attempting to publish from FME (A) to FMS (B) and republish to FMS (C) which is an origin server, for ongoing distribution via an edge platform.

The FME works fine for encoding directly to both B and C.

On FMS B and C all appears to show working correctly when I look in the fms_adminConsole i.e. status publishing.

I can connect to the input stream on FMS B via the client I am using - Flowplayer free for now.

I cannot connect to the stream on FMS C or on the loadbalanced IP address of the edge cluster - it does not return an error but it just seems to enter a state of continual connectiong.  If I use the Flash Application in CS5 and test the source it connects and does not return an error when requesting 'meta data' but when testing nothing.

Details.

B and C are FMS Interactive with full licenses.

B is a standalone.

C is an origin part of an origin/edge configuration.

In the application directory I have a directory livestreamcast_origin on both B and C

In the livestreamcast_origin directory on B I have main.asc and Application.xml

The stream name is: mp4:rbcast.f4v for both.

main.asc on FMS B =

*/

// main.asc file
// server-side actionscript

var nc;
var ns;

// Called when a client connects
application.onConnect = function(client) {

        // accept the new client's connection
        application.acceptConnection(client);

        // send a message
        trace(client.id + " is connected");
}

// Called when a client disconnects
application.onDisconnect = function(client) {
        trace(client.id + "disconnecting at " + new Date());
}

// Called when the client publishes
application.onPublish = function(client, myStream) {

        trace(myStream.name + " is publishing into application " + application.name);

        // This is an example of using the multi-point publish feature to republish
        // streams to another application instance on the local server.
        if (application.name == "livestreamcast_origin/_definst_"){

                trace("Republishing the stream into livestreamcast_origin/mp4:rbcast.f4v");

                nc = new NetConnection();
                nc.connect( "rtmp://***.***.***.***/livestreamcast_origin/" );

                ns = new NetStream(nc);

                // called when the server NetStream object has a status
                ns.onStatus = function(info) {
                        trace("Stream Status: " + info.code)
                        if (info.code == "NetStream.Publish.Start") {
                                trace("The stream is now publishing");
                        }
                }

                ns.setBufferTime(2);
                ns.attach(myStream);
                ns.publish( myStream.name, "live" );
        }
}

application.onUnpublish = function( client, myStream ) {
        trace(myStream.name + " is unpublishing");

Thank you
