Red5 stream flv file

Question

Hi everybody

I was inspecting the oflaDemo from Red5. I was wondering how I could change the oflaDemo so that I could stream a certain flv file to all the subscribers...

/** {@inheritDoc} */
    @Override
    public boolean appConnect(IConnection conn, Object[] params) {
     // Trigger calling of "onBWDone", required for some FLV players
     measureBandwidth(conn);
     if (conn instanceof IStreamCapableConnection) {
      IStreamCapableConnection streamConn = (IStreamCapableConnection) conn;
      SimpleConnectionBWConfig bwConfig = new SimpleConnectionBWConfig();
      bwConfig.getChannelBandwidth()[IBandwidthConfigure.OVERALL_CHANNEL] =
       1024 * 1024;
      bwConfig.getChannelInitialBurst()[IBandwidthConfigure.OVERALL_CHANNEL] =
       128 * 1024;
      streamConn.setBandwidthConfigure(bwConfig);
     }

      serverStream = StreamUtils.createServerStream(appScope, "live0");
      SimplePlayItem item = new SimplePlayItem();
      item.setStart(0);
      item.setLength(10000);
      item.setName("IronMan");
      serverStream.addItem(item);
      item = new SimplePlayItem();
      item.setStart(20000);
      item.setLength(10000);
      item.setName("DarkKnight");
      serverStream.addItem(item);
      serverStream.start();
      serverStream.setRepeat(true);

     return super.appConnect(conn, params);
    }

The result of the code above is just a blank screen for all subscribers...

Does anyone of you have any idea?

thanks in advance!

This would be easier to accomplish on the client side and if you didn't want to hard-code the stream name, you could pass its name as a flash var.
