Question

Is there a way to start a new scope (room) in red5 from the application code (normally they are started automatically if a user connects to the path). I tried:

IScope scope = new Scope(roomName);
application.start(scope);//application is my class, extended from ApplicationAdapter 

the call to application.start returns false, which means the scope could not be started (from the javadocs) but I have no idea why.

Later edit: solved – in order to add a new scope, you need to call application.getAppScope().createChildScope(roomName); (where getAppScope would return the application scope passed into the application in appStart())
