Chaining live video stream

[CHUNG_1977]

:beer;

Hello :

I have a problem of server side "Stream class" and rebublish live video
stream.
In brief, I assume the live video stream can be chained between 2 or more
Flash media server, the server side code is (from FMS online documents) :

application.onAppStart = function(){
trace("::: Application has started :::");
}
application.onConnect = function(client){
application.acceptConnection(client);
}
application.myRemoteConn = new NetConnection();
application.myRemoteConn.onStatus = function(info){
trace("Connection to remote server status " + info.code + "\n");
};
application.myRemoteConn.connect ("rtmp://192.128.1.264/FMS_test");
application.myStream = Stream.get("showvideo");
if (application.myStream){
application.myStream.play("showvideo1", 0, -1, false,
application.myRemoteConn );
}

This server-side code is placed on a computer which ip address is
192.128.1.163 , and I want to take 192.128.1.264 as "main flash media server"
, so I assumed the former computer(192.128.1.163) can "get" the live video
stream published from the later computer ( 192.128.1.264), and play the stream
with a different name "showvideo1", then I placed some code on a flash movie :

client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://192.128.1.163/FMS_test");
client_ns = new NetStream(client_nc);
client_video.attachVideo(client_ns);
client_ns.play("showvideo1");

In theory, if the former computer(192.128.1.163) can "republish" the live
video stream from 192.128.1.264, I should see the live video on this flash
movie, but I didn't see anything, could anyone tell me what's wrong with my
code, or I had misunderstood the concept ?

Did you manage to solve your problem? I'm interested how to chain serveral flash media servers, too.

Well, you are doing everything right, except for a couple of things

application.myStream cannot get "showvideo" from the external server, this is
a local stream. You should assign an internal name for that stream (to which
clients will subscribe) using the get() method, then tell this stream to play
the external stream using the play() method. Its a little confusing what
"showvideo" and "showvideo1" represent so I will assume:

showvideo1 = stream playing on external FMS (192.128.1.264);
showvideo = local stream to which clients subscribe

so:

//create a local stream an assign name "showvideo"
application.myStream = Stream.get("showvideo");

//play external stream
application.myStream.play("showvideo1", 0, -1, false, application.myRemoteConn
);

-----Client side --------

//subscribe to the stream "showvideo"
client_ns.play("showvideo");
