Stoping a client live published stream, server side

Question

Hello buddies,
I have a very very important and urgent question.
Suppose in some client a stream is being published live with
the name 'A'. now, if some other client should and tries to publish
with the same name ('A'), it will encounter a 'NetStream.BadName'
status error code, to avoid that I think there should be some way
to stop the stream('A') server side, and then let the 2nd client
starts publishing with name 'A'. if so, how can I stop 'A' stream
on server?
Thank you so much for any help

Answer 1

Let your server call a function (on the first client that
publishes the stream A) that stops the publishing and shows show
local message to that client e.g. "another client has started to
publish a stream with the same name".
It's unclear why you want such a system because you don't fix
the problem ; you fix the symptoms. If you let clients publish a
stream related to their loginname for example you will always have
unique streams on your server.
If you let them connect to an unique instance of your
application you don't even have the problem of non-unique
stream-names because inside every instance you can publish stream A
again.
Viewing clients would connect to each instance if they want
to see that particular stream, like
rtmp://yourserver.com/appnameXYZ/instancenameABC/A
where A is the name of your published stream in instance
"instancenameABC" , which is a child of application called
"appnameXYZ".
