Simulated Live with OD file

Brilliant, after much searching, I found the right combo...

Serverside in main.asc under app folder:


application.onAppStart = function()
{
application.playStream = Stream.get("simlivestream");
if(application.playStream)
{
application.playStream.play("simlive", -2); //name of flv to play
}
}

On client side:

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect("rtmp://flashmediaserver/appname");
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("simlivestream");
vPlayer.attachVideo(ns);

Thanks Kevin for pointing me in the right direction!

Awesome! Thank you :) I am trying to do this, going through the documentation, and am unable to make it happen. Do you (or anyone) know of a good tutorial on setting up the main.asc and the client to do this? Thanks again

Create a server-side stream, and play() the recorded stream. The stream will play normally, even if no client is subscribed to the stream. When a client does subscribe, playback will start at whatever position the recorded stream happens to be at.

You can actually play multiple files in sequence, so that when one recording ends the next one will begin. This is called a "server-side playlist".

Do I need to use the On2 SDK to accomplish this? I've noticed a company called Mogulus can do it.
