I have a RED5 server and I want to stream using RTMPT but over the HTTPS / RTMPS protocol.
Previously I just used rtmpt://<hostname>:5080/vod/myvideo.flv. I assumed that by using rtmpt://<hostname>:5443/vod/myvideo.flv it would try using HTTPS, since 5080 is the HTTP and 5443 is the HTTPS port. This didn't work however.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
You have to configure the handler for port 5443, see this blog entry: https://red5pro.com/docs/server/red5prossl/index.html You'll also need an SSL cert and a domain; self-signed wont work. Also there is no RTMPTS, it is just RTMPS (tunneling) which is RTMPT over HTTPS and RTMPS (native) uses RTMP via TLS.
