This post shows how to install Wowza on a server where there is another RTMP server, already installed, i.e. Red5. Run 2 rtmp servers at same time and allow applications to connect on both simultaneously.
This is a tutorial to enable video sharing support on Centos servers.
This should install ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2, yamdi, x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid . These tools will enable on your server:
This is functional and we update it each time we configure a new server.
Installation is done using the “root” account.
The video recorder allows site users to record webcam videos easily from website pages. This can be use on various sites to implement online features like:
+ video sharing, on demand video content
+ video messaging, video email
+ video content on member profiles, video teasers, video questionnaires
+ video comments for online posts and items, video discussions, video forums
Videos are recorded as flv files on the rtmp server and can be played trough the rtmp protocol or by http players as on youtube (if published to a web accessible location).
For more details check the home page of VideoWhisper web based Video Recorder.
This post shows how to install latest Red5 from trunk on Linux Ubuntu.

VideoWhisper.com upgraded the Live Streaming application bringing several improvements and optimizations requested by users.
Some of the improvements:
Also some RTMP application improvements should be mentioned like external player support and live video archiving as FLV for the Red5 application.
Upgrades are available for download on VideoWhisper.com and do not involve any costs for free or paid licenses.
First edition available with the upgrade is the PHP edition. The rest should follow shortly.
With the latest VideoWhisper rtmp applications versions, webmasters can enable external player support (both for FMIS and Red5). This can be enabled from RTMP Application Settings.
You need to have allowPlayers=true for FMIS or acceptPlayers=true for Red5 . These settings are turned on by default.
This will allow playing a stream published by a VideoWhisper flash application like Live Streaming with an external player like JW Player.
Demo:
Publish a stream from Live Streaming Demo (i.e. Studio1) and then view it on JW Player. Update channel name in link if you’re using a different one.
Here is the code to embed JW Player:
<?
include(“settings.php”);
$stream=$_GET['n'];
?>
<object id=”player” classid=”clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000″ name=”player” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”player.swf” width=”328″ height=”260″>
<param name=”movie” value=”player.swf” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always” />
<param name=”flashvars” value=”file=<?=urlencode($stream)?>.flv&streamer=<?=urlencode($rtmp_server)?>&autostart=true” />
<p><a href=”http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer”>Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
</object>
</object>
Also this code could be used for playing a Studio1 stream broadcaster with VideoWhisper Live Streaming. Make sure you have swobject.js and player-viral.swf in that folder.
<script type='text/javascript' src='swfobject.js'></script>
<div id='mediaspace'>This text will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('player-viral.swf','mpl','320','320','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','Studio1.flv');
so.addVariable('volume','5');
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmp://your-rtmp-server/videowhisper');
so.addVariable('autostart','true');
so.addVariable('quality','false');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>
