If all you want to do is stream videos, setting up Red5 is fairly simple.

1. Install JRE 5 or 6
2. Install Red5 (http://osflash.org/red5/help)
3. Create a folder your Red5 “webapps” folder, name it what you like such as “vod”
4. Create a folder within that called “streams”
5. Place your flv files in the streams folder
6. Access your streams using rtmp://yourdomain.com/vod/test where “yourdomain.com” is your Red5 host, “vod” is the folder you created in step 3, and “test” relates to an example “test.flv” file in that folder

It’s that simple.
