Red5 live

Question

I am new to Red5. I would like to know how I can take a stream from a port (something like this rr.tt.yy.uu: 1234) and publish it using Red5. I was looking for thelaDemo and Simple Broadcaster included in Red5, but this only takes the camera and I need to take the stream. Can you help me please ?, Maybe with an example or a guide.

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

If its a flash stream you can use RTMPClient, which is part of red5. If this is an RTSP stream or output from something like an Axis camera, you will need to use it with something like Xuggler and possibly transcode it before trying to access it using red5.

Answer 2

You cannot publish a stream with Red5 with such information, i.e. IP address and port number.

Answer 3

Useful link for trancoding with red5: Xuggler and ffmpeg Please note that the -re parameter (output in "real time" mode) must be in front of the input file, not after.

Answer 4

well, basically it's netStream.Publish ("someName")
