[Red5] NetStream.send not working in record mode

[Manuel Raña]

i was going to do it today but, i think i got it working!!!

NetStream.send in record mode ( AMF3 )

For sure, it isn't the correct way to do it ( but i did my best ;) , and
should be revised/corrected/ or sent to junk folder but i'm getting
function/params inserted in flv along with audio/video using AMF3. The
pieces were already in red5 code, of course!!!

This is what i did:

1.- i start publishing a stream with audio/video ( myself talking ) in
"record" mode
2.- change some UIComponents values ( up to 4)
3.- pushed a "ns.send" button at random intervals while saying a word or
moving my head
4.- create an Object with 4 properties which values are updated from
components values
5.- call NetStream.send("onNetStreamSendTest", objectWithUpdatedValues)
6.- function is called on the client apparently at the time i say that word
or move my head
7.- update components while playing back the stream and seems to work

i'll do some more tests later today.

i'm not an expert and surely it's not the final fix but i can say at this
moment is working but should be revised by developers.

i haven't used jira nor tools llike diff, is it OK to send to jira or
wherever it has to be sent to, with file names and changed line numbers for
revision?
