Where do I place a FLV file to stream on a local Red5 server?

Question

I installed the latest Red5 server, but I'm not sure where to put my .flv file to stream it. There is no "streams" or "ofla" directory like in some tutorials I've found online.

Where do I place the .flv file to stream it?

Answer 1

Red5 comes with some demos but they are not installed by default. That is why the directory is not there. Suppose you installed Red5 on yourmachine at /path/to/red5. After starting Red5, open http://yourmachine:5080/installer/ in your browser and install oflaDemo there. After that, you will see a directory named /path/to/red5/webapps/oflaDemo/streams. That is where the .flv file should go.
