I would like to implement limited scope streaming (LAN, multicast, even broadcast) where the client is implemented in silverlight. More importantly, I would like to stream from a desktop OS, not a server OS. As a result, I can't use the MS media server, which I believe requires WS2003 or WS2008. Ideally the solution would have some sort...
Hello, you know on YouTube, once you uploaded a video, it would ask you to make it either public or private. public being that it is accessible by any. private being accissible by only you the original uploader and you have to be logged in to do so, too. I need to make something of the same kind as that. I am making a rails app that uses...
I use the following code to stream large files from the Internet into a local file: fp = open(file, 'wb') req = urllib2.urlopen(url) for line in req: fp.write(line) fp.close() This works but it downloads quite slowly. Is there a faster way? (The files are large so I don't want to keep them in memory.) ...
Hi Overflowers! I'm building a "channel chooser" for a set of mms:// streams (Microsoft Media Server): a simple web GUI that lets the user chose which channel to listen to. For reference, here is the list of streams I'd like to use. I would like users to be able to play those streams on my site with a simple "play/stop" control. Nothing...

There is a thread with the list that scan all items and try to retrieve the image of each item by using the imageURL of each item. The thread that retrieve the ...
Hi, Is it possible to use progressive download for near real-time playback of a live video stream recorded with a webcam? What I need is that a video stream is recorded on one end, uploaded in real-time to a server and downloaded with a short delay, but in real-time, using progressive download (i.e., HTTP streaming) on another end for ...
What is the easiest way (without opening a shell to curl and reading from stdin) in Perl to stream from another HTTP resource? I'm assuming here that the HTTP resource I'm reading from is a potentially infinite stream (or just really, really long) ...
What I want to do is use a CGI script (written in Ruby) to read a binary file off of the filesystem (audio, specifically) and stream it to the browser. This is how I am doing that so far, require 'config' ENV['REQUEST_URI'] =~ /\?(.*)$/ f= $config[:mdir] + '/' + $1.url_decode f = File.open f, 'rb' print "Content-Type: audio/mpeg\r\n"...
Hi I've implemented file uploading using WCF's streaming. Everything works as expected, however i faced one issue: i'm allocating 4kb buffer to read from incoming stream, but WCF reads only 255 bytes. Here is my upload function: public UploadResponse UploadFile(FileDto fileDto) { using (var inStream = fileDto.FileStream) ...
Hello everyone. I'm trying to create an MJPEG stream, I have a series of jpegs that I want to put together into a stream so that a user can just hit a URL and get an mjpeg stream. I've been trying for the last few days to get this to work, and it may just not be possible. I've brought up ethereal and listened to the packets coming from...

Hi How to read binary streams from a HTTP streamer server in python. I did a search and someone said urllib2 can do the job but had blocking issues. Someone suggested Twisted framework. My questions are: If it's just a streaming client reads data on background, can I ignore the blocking issues caused by urllib2? What will happen if u...
Let's start with a simple example. A HTTP data stream comes in the following format: MESSAGE_LENGTH, 2 bytes MESSAGE_BODY, REPEAT... Currently, I use urllib2 to retrieve and process streaming data as below: length = response.read(2) while True: data = response.read(length) DO DATA PROCESSING It works, but since all message...

I have been able to show the pdf by downloading it to the disk and pointing the webbrowser object to it (navigate), but I want to stream it for security reasons. Has anyone been able to stream a pdf to a webbrowser that ...
I'm reading from a byte stream that contains a series of variable length descriptors which I'm representing as various structs/classes in my code. Each descriptor has a fixed length header in common with all the other descriptors, which are used to identify its type. Is there an appropriate model or pattern I can use to best parse and r...
I'd like to write my own music streaming web application for my personal use but I'm racking my brain on how to manage it. Existing music and their location's rarely change but are still capable of (fixing filename, ID3 tags, /The Chemical Brothers instead of /Chemical Brothers). How would the community manage all of these files? I ca...

I have a question about hosting large dynamically-generated assets and Heroku. My app will offer bulk download of a subset of its underlying data, which will consist of a large file (>100 MB) generated once every 24 hours. If I were running on a server, I'd just write the file into the public directory. But as I understand it, this is ...
