looking for a decent free / Open Source flash media server software for linux

[SilverNodashi]

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with this one. I am looking for a decent free / Open Source flash media server software which I can run on a Linux server. Adobe's Flash Media Server (http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/) is very expensive and not within any reasonable cost range (R40K+).

The Flash Media Server uses the RMTP protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Messaging_Protocol

This is needed to run the following Joomla extension:http://www.joomplace.com/live-conference/live-conference.html which basically allows us to setup a Flash tutorial conference setup, similar to podcasts.

We currently use CentOS Linux + cPanel, as well as CentOS + VirtualMin but I'm open to suggestion for other control panels as well if need be.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Cant you build your own joomla component then. If I remember correctly there weren't many flash servers and Red5 was the best. A friend of mine used it to record audio for a user''s pc via a web browser, worked well.
