At first install red5_0.7.0_all.deb. wget http://www.nielsenaa.com/red5-installers/red5_0.7.0_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i red5_0.7.0_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
Download red5-0.8.0-java5.tar.gz (red5 v0.8.0 has no .deb file at this time. v 0.7.0 don’t support FME)
Remove all items in /usr/lib/red5/
unpack copy all from red5-0.8.0-java5.tar.gz to /usr/lib/red5/
Restart Red5: /etc/init.d/red5 stop
/etc/init.d/red5 start
Test it:

3. You have to change this settings:
'streamer': 'rtmp://Ubuntu_Server_IP/oflaDemo/live',
'file': encodeURIComponent('live?videoKeyframeFrequency=5&totalDatarate=248'),
’streamer’: FMS URL in FME + Stream name in FME
encodeURIComponent(‘ ?videoKeyframeFrequency=5&totalDatarate=248′)
totalDatarate – Total Bandwidth required to stream in FME
videoKeyframeFrequency – Format > Advanced Encoder Settings > Keyframe Frequency in FME
Start Live Broadcast
1. Press Start button in FME. When no errors – stream success.
2. Open index.htm in Browser.
