I'm new to RTMP, Red5, and working with client-server apps in Java and
Flash. I have had a few issues working with Red5 to date and was
wondering if anyone could shed some light on them.

1) The debian package that I found does not seem to have an admin
console. It is installed on an Ubuntu-Breezy system.

2) When attempting to compile with ant on my VPS I have run into A LOT
of issues relating to memory problems. I was finally able to get it to
compile by modifying the build.xml file to include statements for max
memory on each JAVAC entity. I have set ANT_OPTS=-Xmx185M but when it
attempts to launch I still get out of memory issues. Additionally i
had to install the Java SDK, Ant, and Red5 into /opt and set all the
environment vars in /etc/profile. as I said, it works... it just won't
launch Red5. My hosting provider guarantees me a constant 512M with a
burst of up to ~800M. the behavior is the same if I launch using
/opt/red5/red5.sh which I modified to include my -Xmx185M.

3) What do I do?? I have a front-end in flash to stream an MP3 radio
stream. How do I setup Red5 for this? I think I have figured out how
to connect the client to the server but not sure how to configure the
server. The documentation that I could find was somewhat vague. I'm
not looking for THE solution, just a starting point and a direction.

I think it's awesome what you guys are doing for the open source
community here and think the advantage Red5 offers those that are less
financially endowed is great :) I would like to see improvied
documentation and volunteer to document and share by experiences with
Red5 as time allows.

Keep up the excellent work and I hope someone out there can help.
