Hi all, Is there any open-source (C++) code that forms an RTMP stream from an eg MPEG4 stream so as to send it to eg Red5 for distribution?
Red5 itself can't handle non-RTMP streams, it seems, as it is meant only to distribute streams coming from a Flash video broadcasting application, not a custom eg C# application in which no RTMP implementation is available. We tried just streaming HTTP to Red5. The main problem with this approach is that only static files with static size can be sent. This seems to be one of red5 core properties. So one of the main parts of our red5 project was adding the ability to read streaming video (files with unlimited size). Any suggestions on how Red5 can handle streaming video where the file size is unknown/unlimited, as in the case of live web-cam streams? One idea is to wrap frames coming into Red5 with RTMP headers to spoof RTMP communication and then to send the pretend-RTMP frame to Red5's RTMP frame handling code, but this might be fairly involved. It would be nicer is we could use an existing solution. Thanks!
