I have installed the red5 server on CentOS successfully. That is, the demo oflaDemo is running with file prometheus.mp4 and JWplayer without problems. But when I put another mp4 file in place like this one:
http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/nhYDGoyh-kNspJqnJ.mp4
the player is loading very slowly and only shows a few seconds of the video. In the red5 log file I see multiple warnings "Response buffer was null after encoding" as listed below. Tried several other mp4 files, all the same result. Are there specific requirements for the mp4 files? Or do I miss a specific video-decoder? Or is it a problem within red5? Any hints are welcome!
