Hi all, We're looking to add public/private "cam rooms" to our site. Similar to about a thousand other sites on the web (Chat Roulette, Stickam, etc). We've been using Red5 for the past year with various ready-to-go Flash chat apps, and we've been using JW Player for years. So we think we have the basic infrastructure in place to make this happen. But I'm a bit fuzzy on some details, and Red5 docs are hard to find.

My questions are:

1) What kind of software is needed to capture a person's cam, and send it back to the Red5 server?

2) Once step 1 is complete, how would I view the cam using JW Player (or any player actually)?

Additionally (and probably obviously) we would need a way to have different "rooms". Meaning sending the cam stream to room 1234, and pointing the player at that room to view the cam stream.

Can Red5 do this out of the box with the included demo software? Any tips/tutorials on setting this up would be greatly appreciated.
