I'm new to the red5 server and only a basic understanding of programming. I managed to set up red5 on a windows 7 64 bit environment and am able to reach the server from my local network.

The reason that I want to use this server is to host videos of a lan party. My idea was/is to capture every game/webcam of every pc with Open Broadcaster Software and send it to the red5 server and the red5 server displays the sources on a webpage of the server. Following that I want to also capture that website with obs to stream it to twitch.tv.

I am so far that I should be able to connect to the server but when I try I get the following error when I try to upload my live stream to red5:

14:13:38: librtmp error: RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection
14:13:38: librtmp error: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.
14:13:38: Connection to rtmp:// failed: Can not connect to the server.
14:13:38: RTMPSockBuf_Fill, remote host closed connection
14:13:38: RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.

I guess that I need a specific application for red5 to manage this?
