streaming radio station with red5 and jwplayer

[munderwo]

Hi all

Im currently using icecast with my own source client that grabs a list
of files out of a database, create a playlist internally, connects to
icecast and pushes the files to icecast. Im trying to get jwplayer to
play the icecast stream and running into issues with ie (surprise
surprise), so was thinking of switching to red5. I've got trunk,
installed it, ran the ofla demo but am really not sure where to go
from here? so my questions.

1. I imagine that I need to make my own server component but Im
guessing I dont need to make the client?

2. Is there any examples on how to just stream audio. Im pretty sure I
can work out all the db connections and stuff. I just dont know what
calls I need to make to setup a stream.

3. Alternativly is there is an application lying around that would do
what im looking for or close, just point me in that direction.

4. As a side note, I just want to get an idea of how well it scales.
Anybody got any numbers of clients per machine in a real world for
audio streaming?

Cheers

Mark

Use the link Andy gave you to use Red5 server-side to support Flash
player streams. (Haven't tried it yet but assumed more easier than
below.)

Or use http://www.thebitstream.com/?p=238 if you only want to use
icecast/shoutcast stream to Flash player instead.

If you're using icecast/shoutcast, you dont even need red5.

See here.
