[Red5] Stream Not Closed FLV File

[Homero Thomsom]

Hello, excuse if I am insistent, but I need to know this detail for a
possible development.

I have a process that generate a FLV File in certain directory.  This file
is used by Red5 for server streaming. The detail is that the FLV file is not
closed and it grows continuously.


This is a fragment of the Red5 Server Code:

    serverStream = StreamUtils.createServerStream (appScope, "liveX");

    SimplePlayItem item = new SimplePlayItem();
    item.setStart(0);
    item.setLength(200000);
    item.setName("dynamic.flv");
    serverStream.addItem(item);

    serverStream.start();



Another solution is using the getStreamLength and addItem, like this:


    serverStream = StreamUtils.createServerStream (appScope, "liveX");

    String fileName = "dynamic.flv";
    int fileLength = getStreamLength(fileName);
    log.info("first fileLength: " + fileLength );


    SimplePlayItem item = new SimplePlayItem();
    item.setStart(0);
    item.setLength(fileLength);
    item.setName(fileName);
    serverStream.addItem(item);

    serverStream.start();



    // In another Thread or Timer Event
    while (true)
    {

        fileLength = getStreamLength(fileName);
        log.info("fileLength: " + fileLength );

        SimplePlayItem item = new SimplePlayItem();
        item.setStart(lastLength);
        item.setLength(fileLength);
        item.setName(fileName);
        serverStream.addItem(item);

        lastLength = fileLength;

    }

The problem with that is that the "getStreamLength" funtion always returns
the first value.


    first fileLength: 300
    fileLength: 300
    fileLength: 300
    ...







Thank you verry much!!!!

Hi

I have the following code:

    serverStream = StreamUtils.createServerStream (appScope, "liveX");

    SimplePlayItem item = new SimplePlayItem();
    item.setStart(0);
    item.setLength(200000);
    item.setName("dynamic.flv");
    serverStream.addItem(item);

    serverStream.start();

Another process has open the file and adds frames to this.
The objective is that the file is Streamed while is modified by the other
process.

Some idea?
