Why do I see two streams in the console when I publish?

Hi all,

I hope some nice guru can help me with my question.

When I publish a live stream to FMS2, I see not one but two entries in the console under "Streams". One has the same name as my published stream and a type "Live", while the other has a name like "ABAYIM9I" and type "NetStream". What is the difference between the two?

Secondly, if I stop and restart publishing, I start accumulating streams of the second type in the Streams list (with status "Idle"). I assume they are still consuming resources so I'd like to clean them up! How do I do this?

Any and all replies are much appreciated.

Barry,
one way to figure what is the difference between stream and netstream:
you may understand stream like a service available for all clients; and the NetStreams are one-way connection to this service, so, if you have one stream called "myStream", you can have one NetStream to publish and many others to play it, or - if you had .flvs - you can just play them...

for each NetStream object, you'll see one in the Stream list; if you maintain the same object to publish/re-publish you'll do not see this.
