red5 installation and RED5_HOME environment variable

Hi there, at the beginning I've to say that I'm the beginner of this case so
it would be great if someone will help me. Just installed Red5 version
(red5-1.0.0-RC1) and have some problems with starting server. After running
red5.bat I've got:

It's very important thing for me so if anyone can help me please do that. I
need it to study for some projects. What should I do to start the red5
server correctly ? 

Is't due to environment variabl named CLASSpATH ??

Any answers will be helpful for me

answer 1:
I believe that version had issues on windows with spaces in the path. 
Try using a newer red5 (from svn) or install into a directory without spaces, 
such as c:\red5.
 answer2:
That error is common in Java applications when the application cannot
find the entry class of the application.

Are you sure that you have RED5_HOME set to the correct location? If
you take a look at the red5.bat file, there should be a boot.jar file
inside the directory specified by RED5_HOME environment variable.

"set RED5_CLASSPATH=%RED5_HOME%\boot.jar;%RED5_HOME%\conf;%CLASSPATH%"

wowza hosting

Hosting Marketers has started offering on all its hosting plans including hybrid servers wowza hosting. Wowza has the advantage of red5 that it can stream to Apple devices, iphones and iPads.

Stream Types

In Wowza Media Server 3, MediaStreams represent an incoming or outgoing stream of video, audio or metadata. Wowza Server provides a mechanism for defining custom server-side MediaStream implementations or stream types. These stream types are configured using the Streams/StreamType property in the Application.xml file. The following table lists the more commonly used stream types and their intended use (for a complete list, consult the User’s Guide):

  • default: Video on demand streaming of static Flash media, H.264/AAC and MP3 content
  • record: Video recording
  • live: Publish and play live video content (best for one-to-many streaming of live events)
  • live-lowlatency: Publish and play live video content (best for one-to-one or one-to-few video/audio chat applications)
  • live-record: Same as live plus content will be recorded
  • shoutcast: Audio re-streaming of a SHOUTcast/Icecast MP3 or AAC+ audio stream
  • shoutcast-record: Same as shoutcast plus content will be recorded
  • liverepeater-origin: Origin stream type used by live stream repeater to deliver a single streaming using origin/edge configuration
  • liverepeater-edge: Edge stream type used by live stream repeater to deliver a single stream using origin/edge configuration
  • rtp-live: Re-streaming of an RTSP/RTP, native RTP or MPEG-TS stream
  • rtp-live-record: Same as rtp-live plus content will be recorded

 

Supported Media

Wowza Media Server 3 supports the following media file formats: FLV (Flash Video), MP4 (QuickTime container) and MP3 content (see table below for common file extensions). To play video on demand content, the proper prefix must be prepended to the file name to create a stream name. For example to play the MP4 file mycoolvideo.mov use the stream name mp4:mycoolvideo.mov. The following table lists the more common file type prefixes (for a complete list consult the User’s Guide):

  • flv: FLV (Flash Video – this is the default media type so the qualifier and the file extension can be omitted)

    Example: “flv:mycoolvideo.flv”

  • mp4: MP4 (QuickTime container – .mp4, .f4v, .mov, .m4v, .mp4a, .3gp, and .3g2)

    Example: “mp4:mycoolvideo.mov”

  • mp3: MP3 (.mp3)

    Example: “mp3:mycoolsong.mp3”

  • smil: SMIL (XML files used to configure multi-bitrate streams – .smil)
