[Server] Streaming Video

Post by **ayu** » 11 Nov 2007, 14:21

Ok so i am going to buy a new HDD for my server and I want all my media to be there.

And I want like a streaming server of some sort, so that I can access all the files through there and watch them through the browser. Like a web manage server where I can see all the files in specified folders, and play them in the browser (Note: I need the software to be *nix compatible)

Any ideas?

oh, nice....my next job is setting up an internet TV station where files and live transmissions will be streamed.

I first tried Feng, it works but it's a little pain in the rear to setup (because of the libglib library): http://live.polito.it/documentation/feng
right now I am about to test Flumotion, which seems to be more promising and easier to setup (but no guarantee for that):

to display the streams via http you have to use the Cortado applet which is available on the same site.

if you get it working to stream at all...then please tell me XD

I got it running, but it wont stream. Just gives me a "no resource" error, and the only format i can specify is "ogg" : / for the vids that is
