Now the important thing on all this is what is this software? And the main softwares that create the RTMP areġ- Flash Media Server, now changed to Adobe Media Server.ģ- Wowza, now called, Live Streaming Engine.Īnd these are the 3 main RTMP servers or software, there are others like Nginx, but not so well known and not really used for production purposes. So an rtmp server is a normal server, or a vps, which has an rtmp software which can then be used to transfer this media files. While the RTMP is for media, it allows media files, like video, audio, images, to be easily transferred or streamed by other users.

For example, we have the HTMP protocol, which is the sites that you can see on the browser, so the HTMP protocol is for the website. It was originally designed for delivering on-demand media and live media (i.e live audio, video, and data) over the Internet between a Flash player and an RTMP Media Server. RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) is an application-level protocol owned by Adobe. First, what is an RTMP server, and even before that, what is RTMP?
