Sending Text Through Stream (iOS)

QUESTION:

Does Red5 Pro allow the ability to push text into the stream with an iOS phone?

ANSWER:

Yes, using RPC calls (sent from publisher and received in subscriber) you can use R5stream.send to push text into the stream.

Currently, we do not support sending RPC calls from the subscriber to the publisher.  This feature could be implemented through:

  • WebSocket calls
  • API calls by creating a custom servlet to accept calls
  • Outside of the red5 pro server altogether using Node or Ruby on Rails.
