Red5 support (finally)

Posted on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 by Octavian Naicu in Builds

AVChat 2.1 and AVConference 1.1 are now fully compatible with the free open source Red5 media server. Absolutely all the features in both softwares are implemented in the new Red5 versions.

Red5 is a free, open source, Java based, alternative to Adobe’s Flash Media Server. Altough the server is in pre-alpha there are many production-ready applications that work on Red5 and many have chosen to use Red5 because its free and open source.

To install Red5 you need a dedicated server. You can not install Red5 on a shared hosting plan. Red5 is available for both Windows and Linux. You can find more info about it here:http://osflash.org/red5

Until now AVChat 2 and AVConference worked only with Adobe’s Flash Media Server.

To purchase AVChat 2 or AVConference on Red5 email us after the purchase and let us know you want the Red5 version.

If you have already purchased AVChat 2 or AVConference email us and we will send you the proper Red5 files for your licensed domain.

All tutorials and support material on the website will now be updated to include Red5 specific info.

    my server is running on Appache2, WAMP server, OS Win XP
    I installed red 5 the first time in c:/program file/red5 didn’t work, removed it and, now i installed it in the root directory of my wamp server

    still i am not able to run the red5 service and for that my Joomla LMS system is being
    locked at connection failed, mdia server might be down or firewall…

    the error if i run the red5 service from services manager in windows is:
    —————————
    Services
    —————————
    Windows could not start the Red5 on Local Computer. For more information, review
    the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service
    vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1.
    —————————
    OK
    —————————

    Any Help please.
