I can’t find how to stop stream created from server side through class Stream, like this:

```auto
stream.play("mp4:" + recordingName, 0, -1, true);

```

When i do:

```auto
IMediaStream stream = applicationInstance.getStreams().getStream(streamName);
stream.close();

```

But stream still play.

I found some subjects about Stream and IMediaStream, and all of them without answer.

I created a topic [How to stop stream created from server side](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/46048)

Please point me right way.

Hello there. Try it like this:

```auto
Stream stream = (Stream)client.getAppInstance().getProperties().getProperty(streamName);
stream.close();

```

Also, you might like to take a look at this module:

Update:

Thanks, now working 🙂

Just need put reference on stream to applicationInstance properties on stream creation.

```auto
Stream stream = Stream.createInstance(applicationInstance, streamID);
applicationInstance.getProperties().put(streamID, stream);
stream.play("mp4:" + recordingName, 0, -1, true);

```

And get this reference from applicationInstance when yo need to stop stream:

```auto
Stream stream = (Stream) applicationInstance.getProperties().getProperty(streamID);
stream.close();

```
