Alternative to Flash Media Server – Red5

By Flash Media Server Hosting on February 11, 2010

If you’re looking for an open source alternative to the official Adobe Flash Media Server you’ll be glad to know there are a number of options available.

One alternative is Red5, an open source Flash media server that’s written in Java. The project is continually updated and currently supports streaming Flash audio and video in the form of FLV, h264, AAC, and MP3. Recording of client streams is also available in FLV format.

Other Flash goodies include Shared Objects, Live Stream Publishing and Flash remoting in the form of AMF (Action Message Format).

If you're looking for quality hosting for your Flash Media server we're happy to recommend GoDaddy.com Virtual Dedicated Servers
