Communicating with a flash server using rtmp without Flash

Question

I want to talk to a flash server which uses RTMP, but I don't want to use Flash, but rather c# or java.

I was looking at Red5 but their client API seems to be a bit wobbly.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Answer 1

"RTMP: Flash video streaming protocol" discusses libraries and applications for communicating with RTMP servers.

The main protocol code from the RTMPDump utility for downloading RTMP video streams is now available in its own library, librtmp (used by FFmpeg, MPlayer, and XBMC media center).

Note: the RTMPDump utility was originally based on the the libRTMP library, a part of the XBMC project.

Answer 2

Take a look at commercial JUV Client (http://www.smaxe.com/juvclient.jsf) library that lets you communicate with rtmp enabled servers.
