Trying to add metadata to a live stream completely fails
Hi. I've been following this document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e-7ff6Dev.html for adding metadata to an FMS live stream from a Flash widget.
I've created a stripped-down version of the code (listed below); the same as the original code except the controls are removed. It works fine only if I comment out the ns.send calls. If I leave in the ns.send calls, no clients are ever able to view anything. I'm using a stock FMS 4.5 install on Amazon EC2 -- the AMI is ami-904f08c2. And I'm compiling the swf using Flex SDK 4.6 on Linux with the command "mxmlc -compiler.library-path+=./playerglobal11_0.swc -swf-version=13 -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries Broadcaster.as".
