Live Streaming from Video File

Do you mean you have video file but you want to publish it as live stream , am i right? If yes following is the solution, but before that let me clarify you will need server to do it , i mean there is no way Flash client (i.e. .swf file running in Flash Player) can publish file from local disk.

Now let me tell you how to do it from server:

Place your video file under "streams" folder of your application i.e. say "myVideo.flv" under  <FMS root>/applications/myApp/streams/_definst_

Now write following code in your main.asc file (this file would be under <FMS root>/applications/myApp )

var mystream;

application.onAppStart = function(){

     mystream = Stream.get("livestream");

     mystream.play("myVideo",0,-1,true);

}

This will publish "myVideo" file as live stream under name of "livestream". Client would have to subscriber using NetStream and

use ns.play("livestream",-1,-1)

You might have to write some extra code if you want to loop same file else once play of recorded file gets over , live publish will automatically stop.

let me know if this solves your problem
