Velocity5.0

Open-source media server for live streaming and video

www.red5.net ↗

Red5 2.2.0 makes JDK 25 the minimum after a run of thinly documented patches.

media-serverrtmpjavajdk-25packaging
◆Current state
Red5 is a Java media server built around RTMP. Red5 Server 2.2.0 made JDK 25 the baseline, cleaned removed JVM flags out of the launch scripts and fixed service setup, after 2.0.49 made the AMF0 and AMF3 codecs spec-compliant. Tags such as 2.0.53 continue alongside it with no notes beyond a changelog link.
◆Where it's heading
After the patch run, Red5 is modernizing its runtime and packaging rather than adding media features. The servlet module is back in the build but not yet shipped, so finishing that packaging is the visible open item.
◆Prediction
A 2.2.x follow-up that packages the servlet module (restoring RTMPT) and fixes service installs on JDK 25 is likely, since the 2.2.0 notes name both as known issues.
