Hello, I have Red5 with Apache Ant up and running on a test CentOS 4.4 installation. I have a basic understanding of Java programming, but my understanding comes from my programming background in other languages... Other than JavaScript, I've never really touched Java, so this is all new to me (I have no idea what a "bean" is).
I'm trying to figure out how to build Red5 applications, and the best way to do it. I keep seeing mentions of "WAR" and "TomCat" but I really have no idea what either would do for me. I read something about TomCat having some functionality in HTTP, but I thought Red5 already had this through another port... So I'm quite confused. What I also would like to know is how to keep red5 running... like as a service so it's always running. My end goal is to write these applications and have them working: "streamvid" Where users stream FLV videos from. Possibly secure it so only my flash application can stream from it, maybe by passing a password somehow. "webcam" Flash application makes use of camera.get to send video/audio and saves it as an flv file. Information, like user id, is sent at some point. When video is done recording it connects to an off-site MySQL server and inserts a row referencing the new video for that user. Saved flv gets stored in a place "streamvid" can access. Video watermark added (if possible). "uploadvid" Allows user to upload file through flash application. When finished the app runs it through ffmpeg with specific parameters. App connects to off-site MySQL server during different stages (file uploaded, after ffmpeg finishes). Has some sort of queue-line system where a certain number of files can be uploaded at one time globally. One of the biggest things that confuses me is the difference between a simple application you can call functions from and being able to do stuff with flv files, whether it be streaming, recording, etc... Or even the web interface. Any help/advice would be appreciated :) Thanks, -Luke _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
