Sorry to kind of ride in on this thread, I just have a quick question about your reply Chris. I notice you said the memory leak should be fixed. I've been watching the list and svn closely but haven't seen anything. Do you have the revision number that is was fixed on? I'd love to take care of that problem. Also, Robert I frequently handle 500 VOD connections on my server concurrently, the memory leak is really the only problem right now. I have a dual xeon and a dual opteron both with 4 gigs of ram right now running Red5.

Thanks!

Dear Red5,
Thank you. I was trying more to figure out if that was a way to stream
flv to 500 users +/- (320 x 240) using Red5. Are my hopes too high? If
they are then what should I look into?

I don't think your hopes are too high. They just may be a bit too early. ;-) Expect us to have some muti-server solutions in coming releases. Also if you have powerful machine with tons of RAM you might be able to get those types of numbers to work. The memory leak bug and limit of twelve streams should be fixed with next week's release.

On the book question, would FMS
books teach me how to use Red5 (with some minor differences)? I have a
Safari one month account. What should a person who has no idea how
Java, Flash, and Red5 integrate look at?

FMS books would help for the client side coding. Red5 uses RTMP and NetConnection on the client just the same. But if you want the whole picture in a book you will have to wait.

We are certainly working on getting some better documentation and also are looking into writing a book on the subject. In addition I'm going to be presenting on Building Red5 applications at FITC in the spring: http://fitc.ca. I will be sure to post the slides from that when I'm done. Oh, and I'm supposed to be doing a 3 hour workshop on building Red5 applications as well here in Boston, MA USA in May.

As far as better documentation, we are waiting on the APIs and application structure to stabilize before we get too much into documenting.

I hope that helps.

-Chris
