Online Tv

Post by shuhail »

Hello everyone,
I want to build a online TV. But don't know how.

I want real time streaming.
I don't want to make my own server or broadcast from cam.
I want to upload video to my server.
when uploading is done, streaming will start automatically. it will play once and it must be real time broadcasting.
I mean, if I upload a movie of 3 hours at 8:00 am. and you came to my site at 9:30 am you will be able to watch the last 1.5 hours of the movie.

Please someone tell me how to do that.

Thanks.

Streaming isn't yet possible with just HTML/Javascript. It currently requires a browser plugin of some kind; Flash is very popular for that. I believe that Flash Media Server supports streaming.

Sure, what could stop you?

I dont think the video source is the important part here. The somewhat difficult issue is to find a streaming media server. Jonah suggest the most popular option, but you might google for streaming internet video if you want an alternative. Whichever route you choose, you'll be looking at 3rd party software and your user base will be installing plug-ins.
