HTML to check if RTMP stream is live

Question

Anyone know how I can check to see if a RTMP stream is online or not?

Streams are like rtmp://ip/user/stream, "user" being the different streams.

Any advise on how to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Oh wow this is old.

Fixed this many moons ago using AS3 on the server side to request from the web server with variables to tell the database if the stream is active or not.

I doubt there's a way of doing this just using HTML. You can use rtmpdump if you want to get a little technical: http://blog.svnlabs.com/how-to-check-rtmp-source-stream-is-live-or-not/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN-UYi0UVGE
