Poster does not re-appear on stop publishing

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First reported by marcin.kurylak@innodia.pl on Oct 9, 2012.

I'm using VideoIO11 ver 3.3

3) When user stops publishing video - video freezes instead of returning to 
poster (if it is not a bug, maybe a flashvar switch could be introduced, 
something like returnToPosterOnCameraStop :) ). 
This happens when user:
- turns off video publishing
- stops recording
- loses internet connection for a while
- unplugs his camera

• Merged into: #42

I am merging it with issue #42 to keep track of this together with the new 
poster behavior.

Currently the "camera", "live", "recording" and "publish" properties are 
defined as follows: "camera" (boolean) indicates whether the camera is 
capturing (or instructed to capture and awaiting user permission); "live" 
(boolean)  indicates whether the video displays the live camera feed; 
"recording" (boolean) indicates that the NetStream is publishing to server or 
remote end; and "publish" (string) represents the publishing stream name. Some 
of these are tied together -- setting "publish" automatically sets "camera" and 
eventually "recording", and setting "live" automatically sets "camera".

Thus, it makes sense to tie the "poster" property to "camera" instead of 
"recording" or "publish" -- when camera is on, never show the poster.

Unfortunately, it is not trivial to detect that the end user has lost internet 
connection (especially with rtmfp) and when the end user has unplugged the 
camera. So I will leave those two outside the scope. If you have contributions 
that cover some of all aspects of this, please send us the patch to the support 
group.

Thanks!

I believe that the only thing you've missed in your new specs is bidirection 
behaviour.

When player is set to bidirection mode poster should show up when there is no 
video playing without taking into account capturing video.
