Flash Media Encoder and Red5

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Using the HTML from the flowplayer and red5 post, you need to change the url in the javascript to:

url: 'red5StreamDemo', live: true

You will need to use Flash Media Encoder version 2.5 which can be downloaded at adobe.com. Flash Media Encoder version 3.0 will not work with red5 and based on developer comments, will probably not be supported

It is against the license for Flash Media Encoder to use it with anything other than Flash Media Server.

Here is a screenshot of the config required to get Flash Media Encoder 2.5 to work with red5. Replace yourhostname with the name of your red5 server.

Flash Media Encoder version 2.5 connecting to red5

After you’ve configured the FMS Url and the Stream, click the Connect button, and then the Start button at the bottom to start encoding.

flowplayer.org and red5

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Dozens of posts on the net reference using red5 with flowplayer for rtmp streaming, but, none give you precisely the code required.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
	
<script src="flowplayer-3.1.1.min.js">	

<style>
a.rtmp {
	display:block;
	width:640px;
	height:360px;	
	margin:25px 0;
	text-align:center;
}

a.rtmp img {
	border:0px;
	margin-top:140px;
}
</style>

<a class="rtmp" href="#">
<img src="http://static.flowplayer.org/img/player/btn/showme.png"  />
</a>

<script type="text/javascript">

$f("a.rtmp", "flowplayer-3.1.1.swf", { 
		
	clip: { 
		provider: 'rtmp',
// name of the .flv from /webapps/oflaDemo/streams without the .flv
                url: 'IronMan' 
	}, 
	
	plugins: {  
	  rtmp: {  
		url: '/fprt/flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swf',			
		netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://hostname/oflaDemo'
	  } 
	}     
});
</script>

Make sure you have the following files:

* flowplayer-3.1.1.swf
* flowplayer.controls-3.1.1.swf
* flowplayer.rtmp-3.1.0.swf

If you receive the error:

300: Player Initialization Failed: TypeError: Error #1009

Then you are missing flowplayer.controls-3.1.1.swf from your directory.

In the javascript,

netConnectionUrl: ‘rtmp://hostname/oflaDemo’

needs to be set the hostname of your red5 server.

url: ‘IronMan’

needs to be set to the name of the .flv in the webapps/oflaDemo/streams directory without the .flv extension

/usr/lib/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams# ls -1 *.flv
DarkKnight.flv
IronMan.flv
on2_flash8_w_audio.flv
test.flv
