Problem trying to publish live stream to RTMP

[graphite12]

We are having a rather silly problem, I know its probably very easy to resolve
but still it is giving us a headache.

We have an FMS that takes live feeds from webcams and plays them back through
a webpage using the following code:

nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(info) {
trace('I:'+info.code);
if (info.code == 'NetConnection.Connect.Success') {
ns = new NetStream(nc);
video.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play('channel12');
}
};
nc.connect('rtmp://FMSIP/shopVideo/_definst_');

We would now need to push this feed over to another FMS by publishing the feed
on an RTMP address.

We were under the impression that the following should work:

rtmp://FMSIP/shopVideo/_definst_/channel12

but is does not work, even if we try it from our own FMS. Checked firewall and
stuff that does not seem to be a problem. Are we missing something painfully
basic? Please advise any help is greatly appreciated.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to take a stream that resides on
server "A", and publish it to server "B".

If that's the case, you need to make a netconnection to server "A" in the .asc
on server "B", just like you would in client side actionscript.

Thanks for the advice. This solution would work for us as well but
unfortunately the operator of server B wants to get an rtmp link the asc
solution does not work. They need to solve this by doing a simple RTMP request
using the FLV playback component.

But for some reason we are unable to get the RTMP link working only the asc
solution seems to work. Im wondering what should we do different to get the
rtmp work as the asc works now. If you have any ideas please do not hold it
back. Thanks!

That is because the server who is trying to pull needs to be the subscriber of
second server the quickest way to do that is the RTMP string. I am trying to
use your code now to subscribe to the stream Gyula maybe it would help if we
use a test stream that has a constant feed one that you can send me the link on
your site so I know its up.
