That's kind of my point with Red5. It's a GREAT project, and I think what the developers on it have done is nothing short of amazing. That being said, it's still an open source project and as such there is no guarantee that your questions will be answered. Now.. another option you have with Wowza is their Amazon EC2 deployment ( http://www.wowzamedia.com/ec2.php). The benefits of EC2 are:
- No up-front capital investment - No long-term contract - No minimum number of server instances - No cost for future software upgrades - Add/delete Wowza Pro EC2 instances and pay only for instance-time and data transfer used So my recommendation is this... If this is a side project, no budget, just sweat equity and time isn't really an issue. You can absolutely do it with Red5, just know that there is a learning curve, and will require your time doing research. If it's for a company, Wowza on Amazon EC2 is an excellent option for getting started with almost no money. And you only pay for what you use. Gotta love that cloud computing!
