[Red5] Immediately playing back recorded streams

[Ryan Shaw]

Hello,

I am attempting to build a simple app that records a stream from a  
webcam then plays it back. I can record just fine, but the recorded  
stream doesn't seem to be playable until the index (.meta) file gets  
generated. Problem is, I can't seem to figure out what triggers the  
generation of the index file--if I restart the server or reconnect  
enough times, it eventually appears, but I really need to be able to  
play back immediately after recording.

I understand from my friend Niels that the indexing code is somewhat  
in flux right now. I'm using 0.6.2--would using a newer build help?  
Can I trigger the indexing programmatically, and get an event when  
it's done? Or can I configure Red5 to not require the index files at  
all? 2-3 minute webcam recordings are relatively tiny, and I don't  
need seeking. I just need to be able to playback a recorded file  
without having to wait around.

Thanks,
Ryan
