*Can you tell me if you want to use Red5 directly or need to customize Red5 *for your project? I think Red5 alone can solve your *problem and you need not *know anything about rtmp in detail. Let me tell you more about our problem space, hopefully without boring you with too much detail. At a 40k-foot level, our system delivers video in .flv format to client side using peer-to-peer network. Once there, we need to do some conditioning to the media and simply play it back in a Flash-based custom player. Since action script doesn't allow programmatic access to media bytes, we're doing this media conditioning in java application that is also running on the client. Thereafter, the media is delivered to the player via progressive download. For number of reasons, the progressive download doesn't work for us and we're looking for an alternative solution. RTMP would be much better, but it's a closed proprietary protocol that can only be used in conjunction with FMS, which just doesn't fit our paradigm what's so ever. The Red5 project gave us some hope that perhaps we can solve this problem using rtmp. To finally answer your question, we can't use the entire Red5 server on the client simply because we can't have all that size, processing and complexity running there. We're simply looking to insert rtmp streaming on the tail end of our media processing logic. -------------------------------- Also, I saw few postings in the archive with respect to player and server > getting out of synch., hence, another question, is the version 0.3 or > upcoming 0.4 will be ready for production deployment? > * No, the server is now in an early stage and not for production deployment. Do you think that 0.4 would be stable enough for a production system, at least with respect to video streaming? Thanks!
