red5 and ffmpeg
Thursday, August 26th, 2010One of our customers asked if he could stream through the ffmpeg folder.
FFmpeg is a software which converts video files in different formats to video files in flv format this videos are then streamed through a swf player just like the streaming of red5 videos, which are also on flv format. so ffmpeg is not to stream is to convert the file to a a format in which the video can then be streamed.
let me give you an example of the use of ffmpeg, if you go to http://movieback.com/ (login visio passw. 123456) you can upload a video what ever format, for example in wmv which can only be played on windows media player or similar and then this video in wmv is converted to flv and you can then stream it.
but there is also a difference on the stream, with red5 you have the advantage of:
The advantages of a streaming red5 server are:
-
- Users can seek to any place in the video timeline without waiting for the whole video to buffer
- No physical data is saved on the users PC cache, so your media files are better protected
- It uses less bandwidth than progressive*
- Streams can be combined into a single gapless stream
* This is because on average a user will not watch the entire video, but with progressive download they will still download the entire file.
Progressive streaming is the normal one, like on our demo site http://movieback.com/
RTMP and video streaming
Friday, January 15th, 2010RTMP path is not a link for streaming videos, it is a path to a a folder on red5 which will allow your red5 application to connect to red5 on our servers. Did I make it a bit clear?
for example lets take this application:
http://red5stream.com/videoconference/
for this application to work we uploaded a folder called videowhisper to red5/webapps folder inside the server then on this script http://red5stream.com/videoconference/ there is a file called settings.php and we entered this rtmp path which was:
rtmp://216.67.244.116/videowhisper
now do you see how it works?
red5 hosting or Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) hosting
Friday, January 8th, 2010Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a protocol for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server. A special software is required to run on server side for accepting and serving the rtmp connections from flash clients. We provide managed RTMP hosting based on RED5.
Red5 is shared on our shared hosting plans that means although you can use red5 to stream your videos you will not have access to the red5 folder. Most scripts based on red5 need to upload a folder inside red5/webapps.
This folder is important because it will be on the RTMP path, ex.
rtmp://your-server-ip/folder-name
Contact us so we can upload your folder to red5/webapps and then give you the rtmp path.
