Setting up Red5 for simple streaming
by Steven Brown on Jul.09, 2008, under Red5
If all you want to do is stream videos, setting up Red5 is fairly simple.
- Install JRE 5 or 6
- Install Red5 (http://osflash.org/red5/help)
- Create a folder your Red5 “webapps” folder, name it what you like such as “vod”
- Create a folder within that called “streams”
- Place your flv files in the streams folder
- 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.

And what about if I want to record a video stream with my webcam? What would be the best approach to do this? I need a tutorial or something about this, from ActionScript coding to XML Configuration and Java coding.
I know that there’s a lot of people out there that needs to know this!
Thanks!

When will this book be published?

Realistically we can’t publish until Red5 reaches at least 1.0, since the project is moving fairly slowly it might be a while, but feel free to ask for information and I’ll try to add more articles.
