Software Switcher with FMLE and FMIS

Hello Readers,

I wanted to know if there is any facility to use Software Switchers along with FMIS

The Situation:   I am streaming multiple streams using FMLE from one place and at the receivers end, the client receives only of the streams at a time.

So I wanted to apply switcher so as, I could stream only one stream from FMLE at one time

I have explained the scenario in the attached image.

    I don't think there are any software switchers as you have described (at least, none that I've seen). If the switcher is between FMLE and FMS, the switcher needs to be able to receive RTMP connection from FMLE, and make an RTMP connection to FMS.

    That said, you can achieve what you described with actionscript. The switcher (as in your diagram) would be the FMS application. Each FMLE would publish a stream to the FMS app, and you'd write server side methods to select the FMLE stream to show. Your FMS code would play the selected stream over a server side stream, which your clients would subscribe to.

    There's an old (yet still valid) example here:
