Red5 Clusetring

[pejot]

Hi All,

sorry to bring up the issue again, but still don't really know the answer to the the question if red5 will in the near future support clustering? I am not the greatest java dev, but trying to hack together something from the lastly working versions with clustering. 

The api however has somewhat changed and the plugins seam to be implemented differently. My apps will most probably have sender/receiver of 1:5000 per channel so without it I would be reduced to use commercial options or fall back to red5 0.8.  is there point in waiting? Can someone point me into the right direction at least when it comes to figuring out how to implement the cross server multi channel sending/receiving?

Many thanks,

Piotr

Found some info on a Japanese cache server:

translated to English, just interested how relevant this still is?

I was also thinking of instead of using clustering, might be viable to use ffmpeg for streaming as edge servers and AMQP MQ as a chat/data sharing service.

What I was unable to figure out is, what exact should happen. Let's say I have 

• a single Origin Red5 server., providing a/v input and some more sophisticated operations for logged in users
  
• several edge servers running ffmpeg
• a RabbitMQ server providing the data updates for edge users with operations that can go to everyone (chat, viewer updates)

So what I'm interested in, is how to control ffmpeg on the edge servers ? Do we start a new ffmpeg process every time someone starts a room or is there 1 ffmpeg per edge server that everyone connects to?

Does anyone have any experience with that sort of scenario?

Cheers,

Piotr
