5. To stream a video, just put the FLV video file into any of the streams directories in any one of the webapps. For example: /Red5/webapps/oneOfTheApps/streams/yourVideo.flv To change the location of the streams directory - http://www.joachim-bauch.de/tutorials/r ... tories.txt,

Find How to use a custom location for the streams directory here http://www.joachim-bauch.de/tutorials/r ... tories.txt

Access the stream by using a flash based video player. A minimal example is available for download: Download Attached example player file (Flash FLA format) The relevant actionscript is in frame1 of the main timeline.
