Binary socket means there's no application-layer protocol (above TCP).
Use your own protocol. You can do anything using the capability to
send and receive raw bytes.

Develop your own protocol! Send the file type in the first two bytes
or something. The client and the server need to speak a language here.

I'm not sure--you'd have to dig into the RTMP protocol and understand
what Video.publish() does exactly.
One crude way of publishing video is to create a Bitmap object out of
every frame as the video plays and send the bitmap bytes to the
server. Probably very stupid but it'll work.
