HLS plugin for Red5
The purpose of this plugin is to provide HLS live streaming using an flash media stream as its source.
The plugin utilizes Xuggler for transcoding and is provided as-is; any modifications or fixes will be handled as time permits.
Development of this plugin was sponsored by BigMarker (https://www.bigmarker.com/); BTW they're hiring, contact: careers@bigmarker.com
The Red5 users list may be found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/red5interest
To create the eclipse project files, execute this within the plugin and / or example directories:
mvn eclipse:eclipse
Then you will be able to import the projects into Eclipse.
- Build both the hls-plugin and the example application (or use your own app).
- Place the war in the red5/webapps directory
- Place the "hls-plugin-1.1.jar" jar in the red5/plugins directory
- Put the "xuggle-xuggler-5.x.jar" jar in the red5/plugins directory
- Start red5
Note: make sure you do not have the xuggler util jar in "plugins" or "lib", it has been found to cause failures
The Xuggler project is no longer actively developed, but remains the best way to manipulate media in Java using FFMpeg.
