I am looking to put a camera on top of a building in the process of being built and stream it to a website. How would I go about doing this? Would I have to hook it up to a full-blown computer on-site? or can I just plug it into a DVR with an internet connection? What is involved with processing the stream?...
I would like to bypass the web-server functionality of a Sony SNC-RZ30N network attached web cam and display the video feed in a Silverlight application. I can't seem to find any examples of interfacing with the camera programatically. Any leads would be much appreciated. Thx. Update 09/09/2008: Found a good site with Javascript exam...
I'm wondering how to use a VideoDisplay object (defined in MXML) to display video streamed from FMS via a NetStream.

I want to put songs on a web page and have a little play button, like you can see on Last.fm or Pandora.

I think they use Flash for this, and I co...

I need to build something that starts serving a H.264 encoded video to a flash player halfway through the file (to support skipping to a point in the video that has not been buffered yet). Currently, the videos are in the FLV container format, but transcoding is an option. I managed to re-write the file header and metadata information ...
Hi, I have a flash player that has a set of songs loaded via an xml file. The files dont start getting stream until you pick one. If I quickly cycle through each of the 8 files, then flash starts trying to download each of the 8 files at the same time. I'm wondering if there is a way to clear the file that is being downloaded. So tha...

We are using a Sony SNC-RZ30N IP-based webcam to monitor osprey nests and would like to stream the video feed via our own webserver.

I've written a simple Flash player for a Shoutcast stream. At first it seemed to work reliably, however about 5% of the time users experience slow playback where the stream plays at roughly half of normal speed. All files being streamed are MP3, encoded at 128kbps/44.1kHz, the same settings as used in the Shoutcast config files, so the ...

I really like the mp3 player on 8tracks.com and was wondering how they manage to keep the mp3 playing even when I change pages? For example, listen to the track here http://8tracks.com/mixes?q=Aztec+Camera and click on one of the links to another page. The music cuts out for 1/4 of a second and then comes back in at exactly the right po...
