FMS 3.5 DVR Using Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0

Question

Hi,
I am trying to work out the DVR feature of FMS 3.5 by using
the Flash Media Live Encoder 3.0 but it failed.
On right bottom of the Flash Media Live Encoder's UI, there
is a check box labeled "". I subscribed a live stream to FMS 3.5
with that check box checked and the server side report a error:
Method not found (DVRSetStreamInfo).
So it seems that the FMLE send a remote function call on the
sever side but the server side script has no definition of this
method.
Dose anybody know how to get rid of the problem.
Thanks,
Ang

here's some sample code you can use in a server-side action-script to deal with the fme dvr recording:
(a list of all available properties can be found at the end of this post)
Client.prototype.DVRSetStreamInfo = function(dvr_obj)
     //    if the date is Wed Dec 31 1969 it's starting
    if (dvr_obj.stopRec.getFullYear() <= 1970)
        //place code here to start / continue recording.
        /* sample:
          var new_stream = Stream.get("recorded_ " + dvr_obj.streamName);
          if (new_stream)
               if (dvr_obj.append)
                    new_stream.record("append");
               else
                    new_stream.record();
               new_stream.play(dvr_obj.streamName);
    else
        //place code here to stop recording.
          /* sample:
          var new_stream = Stream.get("recorded_ " + dvr_obj.streamName);
         if (new_stream)
             new_stream.record(false);
here is a list of properties available to the "dvr_obj" passed from FMLE:
- all properties below are informational only they are meant to be used on the server-side to pass the information to the correct function.
streamName : string
callTime : date
startRec : date
stopRec : date
maxLen : number
begOffset : number
endOffset : number
append : boolean (fmle sets this to true if the stream was cut-off without the user pressing "stop" or if the user pressed "pause"...)
offline : boolean
