[Red5] limiting max concurrent connections per user

[Ben Wade]

Thanks Andy and SeTyR for the responses,

Unfortunately I have no idea how to do what you guys have discussed.  Would
this be done on the flash player's end using an AS file?  I could see how
this could be applied from one location with one player, but if the user is
using multiple players from multiple locations on the web, that would seem
difficult to manage.  I would think limiting concurrent connections would
have to be deciphered at red5 source somehow.  I'm sure I'm totally missing
something though. 

Regards,
 
Ben Wade

Hi Andy ;

Thanks for the hint;
If i understand, this would be a routine AS in the swf the clients uses?
how do i count the total connected for that particular stream, server side ?

Sorry but i'm not that good at AS script but learning :)

Thank you for reading :)
