You can download the Flash Media Live Encoder here. If you are running FMLE from a Mac you will have different options than if you run it from a PC. Specifically, Mac includes AAC as an Audio format, where Windows does not. Please note that FMLE does not detect the Mac Facetime camera, so you will need to use a USB camera to stream video with FMLE.

Our recommended FMLE settings are as follows:

RTMP Encoder Broadcasting with Red5 Pro Autoscaling

If you are using Red5 Pro Stream Manager and Autoscaling and want to broadcast with an RTMP encoder, you need to make the Read Stream – Broadcast API call to get the IP address of the most available origin server to set as your RTMP server target.

It is important to make this call before each broadcast, because autoscaling clusters are not static, and the best origin server IP address may change.
