When you go to the html page, you are accessing an HTML page that probably has an embedded player.

Whatever name you provide in the publisher will be the name of the file that you need to feed to your viewer.  Everything gets relayed through the server.</p>

Answers.Text: @user5274 - if you can give the actual URL, I should be able to tell you what the RTMP link is from the source of that HTML page.  Alternately, if you view source on it, you should see an RTMP:// link, use that.  The http link doesn't work because the Flash player needs an RTMP stream, not an HTTP stream.

Answers.Text: @user5274 - The RTMP link will need to go to wherever your red5 server is running.  You should be able to enter it as a normal URI.  Have you been able to see the video running correctly anywhere?  If so, you can get the RTMP link from the source that allows you to view it.
