Red5 Linux Server Optimizations and Tools

1 year ago
by admin in ,

Some java optimizations to add in red5.sh :

export JAVA_OPTS=”-Xrs -Xms128M -Xmx256M -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=300000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=360000 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Xverify:none”

Assuming red5 was installed in /opt/red5/dist admin will often need to restart it or check if it’s running.

Make sure Red5 restarts: restart.sh

#!/bin/bash
#Restart the process
#First see if running
PID=`ps -eo ‘tty pid args’ | grep ‘red5′ | grep -v grep | grep -v restart | tr -s ‘ ‘ | cut -f2 -d ‘ ‘`
cd /opt/red5/dist
if [ -z "$PID" ]
then
#not running
echo “Red5 was not running at `date`” >> /opt/red5/dist/run-restart.log
else
echo “Red5: $PID”
#shutdown
/opt/red5/dist/red5-shutdown.sh
sleep 6
#make sure
kill $PID >> null
sleep 2
fi
#start
/opt/red5/dist/red5.sh >> /opt/red5/dist/red5.log &
echo “On request restarted Red5 at `date`” >> /opt/red5/dist/run-restart.log

Mare sure Red5 process is running, if not start it: running.sh

#!/bin/bash
#set environment
PID=`ps -eo ‘tty pid args’ | grep ‘red5′ | grep -v grep | grep -v running | tr -s ‘ ‘ | cut -f2 -d ‘ ‘`
if [ -z "$PID" ]
then
#Restart the process
cd /opt/red5/dist
/opt/red5/dist/red5.sh >> /opt/red5/dist/red5.log &
echo “Restarted Red5 at `date`” >> /opt/red5/dist/run-restart.log
else
#do nothing
echo “Red5 is already running with PID=$PID at `date`” >> /opt/red5/dist/run-checked.log
fi

Install ffmpeg mplayer flvtool2 yamdi x264 theora mp3lame vorbis ogg faac

2 years ago
by admin in ,

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, mediainfo, mp4box, neroaacenc . These tools will enable on your server:

  • video and audio conversion
  • thumbnail generation
  • FLV meta injection (flvtool2, yamdi)
  • extra codecs (x264, theora, mp3lame, vorbis, ogg, faac, faad2, xvid)

This is functional and we update it each time we configure a new server.
Installation is done using the “root” account.

 

Attention: If you copy and paste commands below, make sure “-” are not converted to “.”.  If these get converted, edit “.” back to “-”. Some options use 2 * “-”.

Some prerequisites:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ automake autoconf libtool yasm git subversion
yum install zlib-devel libmad-devel libvorbis-devel libtheora-devel lame-devel faac-devel a52dec-devel xvidcore-devel freetype-devel
yum install libogg zlib-devel libtool

rpm -ivh  http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm

yum install yasm
yum install libogg libogg-devel libvorbis libvorbis-devel

The quick way to setup ffmpeg, mplayer, mencoder:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

or if you have 64bit server

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

yum -y install ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder ffmpeg-libpostproc

Edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file and add the following lines:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib

GIT
(required to get X264)

yum install curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf git-1.6.0.4.tar.gz
cd git-1.6.0.4
make prefix=/usr/local all
make prefix=/usr/local/ install
git –version

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-manpages-1.6.0.4.tar.gz

cd yamdi-1.4
gcc yamdi.c -o yamdi -O2 -Wall
mv yamdi /usr/bin/
yamdi -h

INSTALLATION RESULTS

mencoder: /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer: /usr/local/bin/mplayer

Add these shortcuts to /usr/bin if you need these there by default:
mencoder to /usr/local/bin/mencoder
mplayer to /usr/local/bin/mplayer

SuPHP fix

With suphp  “env -i” is required when executing php scripts.

exec(“env -i /usr/bin/php ” . $cmd.  ‘>/dev/null &’);
