[Red5] plugging in PlaylistSubscriberStream

[Paul Dhaliwal]

I actually did what I suggested and it works.

It works pretty well. How can I submit it back?

for the anxious, here is it what I did.

I added following bean to the red5-web.xml
<bean id="playlistSubscriberStream" scope="prototype" lazy-init="true"
class="org.red5.server.stream.PlaylistSubscriberStream"/>

and around line 217 in RTMPConnection, I removed part of the line that
creates a PlaylistSubscriberStream and replace it with this:
IContext context = scope.getContext();
ApplicationContext appCtx = context.getApplicationContext();
PlaylistSubscriberStream pss = (PlaylistSubscriberStream) appCtx.getBean
("playlistSubscriberStream");

since I declared this bean prototype, spring creates a new instance
everything appCtx.Bean is called.

Now you can implement the Playlist however you want, I implemented one that
plays a track before it plays the real stream user asked for.

enjoy,
Paul Dhaliwal
