Media streaming basics - HTTP vs RTMP
问题 I am very new to media streaming, and I have some basic doubts to clear : As far as I can understand, the difference between HTTP streaming (say through Apache) and a RTMP streaming (through Red5) is that streaming servers provide buffering and advance controls like seek, etc. Am I right ? Can I stream only flash videos from RTMP servers like Red5 ? If I have to stream varying formats of files, do I have to go for HTTP streaming ? Can I use tools like xuggler to dynamically transcode files
