java flash red5 rtmp

I'm very new to RTMP streaming and am seeking help. Just enough to get me started.

I have been Googling for about 5-7 hours now and still cannot determine my answer!

The documentation of Red5 is limited and cannot find any support at all! Even similar questions to mine are unanswered on stackoverflow :(

My questions are:

  1. Why can't I simply place an .mp3 inside red5's server root and play it?
  2. To serve a simple MP3 file over RTMP. Do I need to write a Java application?
  3. If so, any pointers?

To make matters worse, I have little to none Java experience.

Please help ST.

The easiest way to do what you want to is to install the oflaDemo. Start your red5 server and go to http://localhost:5080/installer
You need to select "oflaDemo" there and install it, if you don't already have it installed. Next place your mp3's or whatever in the following location

%RED5_HOME%/webapps/oflaDemo/streams

Red5 home will be the directory where you installed Red5. So if you used an installer it may look like this:

C:\Program Files\Red5\webapps\oflaDemo\streams

To play your mp3 without writing any code flash or java, next go to this url: http://localhost:5080/demos/ofla_demo.html
Connect and select your file from the list and thats it.
