[Red5] Problem with the Basics

[Anton Evangelatov]

No, the player can play RTMP stream as well.

Your problem is that you have written localhost as server. LOCALHOST 
works only on your own computer.

If you don't have a domain, try using your IP address if you are not 
behind firewall or router. You can find your IP using http://whatismyip.com
