Google chrome doesn't behave the same as other browsers when encountering this nugget: <?php while (true) { echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n"; echo "alert('hello');\n"; echo "</script>"; flush(); sleep(5); } ?> It seems that it's waiting for the connection to terminate before doing anything. Other than pol...
For years we've been using RealNetworks' Helix server to serve streaming video courses. It has been a pretty reliable solution up until now. As of late, our support calls due to RealPlayer issues has gone from 2 or 3 a week (mostly PEBKAC or firewall issues) to up to about 10 a day. I've been arguing to dump Real in favour of somethin...
I am trying to fetch an RTSP stream over HTTP using a proxy. The behavior of the Real client seems to be a bit hectic: it tries all the possible ports, methods and protocols at once. The only thing that should work is HTTP GET over port 80. Such a request is indeed issued, and is received on the server. Here's how the request looks when ...
Does anyone know of an open source web service/wcf service that can stream media content to clients? In particular I am looking for something that could access my music collection and stream it to a client (could be a client browser, win mobile app or even iphone application). I guess it would have to be WCF based as I'm not sure that w...
What is the best way to password protect quicktime streaming videos using php/.htaccess. They are being streamed using rtsp, but I can use other formats if necessary. I know how to do authentication with php, but I'm not sure how to setup authentication so that will protect the streaming files urls so that a user can't just copy the url...
Is it possible to protect flv files from download? I'd like to protect my files from download but I don't have the money for a streaming server which I think provides some sort of protection. The files are streamed via PHP and are located in an upload folder on my server. I've used PHP to ensure that only subscribers can view the video ...
I need to launch a media file from a URL from within my c# .NET application. Is there any way to do this natively in .NET? I don't need an embedded player, I just need the default player to launch. I have tried System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("File URL"); but it launches the default browser and downloads the file, instead of attempt...
Hi, I'm using WCF and want to upload a large file from the client to the server. I have investigated and decided to follow the chunking approach outlined at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa717050.aspx However, this approach (just like streaming) restricts the contract to limited method signitures: [OperationContract(IsOneWay...
I'm looking for solutions that will allow me to have a Live Video feed setup at one location and, via the internet, watch the video stream at a remote location. The goal is to have a live high quality video training session that remote users can watch from their own locations. Any technology will work. High Quality is a must. I'm most ...
I am looking into streaming binary data into a browser (through http). I am looking for opinions as to good ways to go about doing this. Ultimately I will have a real time data source and I would like to manipulate this data and display it (in real-ish time) in a browser. Firefox comes first, IE would be nice... but I'm not that picky. I...
I want to make a simple server application where people can connect using a browser-based client (which I will make later) to watch streaming video. And I want to use C#. What do I need to capture video or rapid images through a webcam and send them over the network? ...
Not sure exactly how to word this question ... so edits are welcomed! Anyway ... here goes. I am currently use Crystal Reports to generated Pdfs and just stream the output to the user. My code looks like the following: System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); stream = (System.IO.MemoryStream)this.Report.ExportTo...
(All of the following is to be written in Java) I have to build an application that will take as input XML documents that are, potentially, very large. The document is encrypted -- not with XMLsec, but with my client's preexisting encryption algorithm -- will be processed in three phases: First, the stream will be decrypted according ...
I've been trying to find information on this, but due to the immaturity of the Spring Integration framework I haven't had much luck. Here is my desired work flow: New files are placed in an 'Incoming' directory Files are picked up using a file:inbound-channel-adapter The file content is streamed, N lines at a time, to a 'Stage 1' chan...
I'm working on a video streaming application in Flash and I've been told I need to add quality selection tools. The requirements are "low", "medium" and "high" quality. I'm trying to figure out what kinds of quality settings to actually apply for this (framerate and video quality settings). I feel like there has to be some kind of sta...
I have a requirement to build a very simple streaming server. It needs to be able to capture video from a device and then stream that video via multicast to several clients on a LAN. The capture part of this is pretty easy (in C#) thanks to a library someone wrote with DirectShow.Net (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/directxcaptur...
I am very interested in streaming data for web-applications. I have tried out some javascript libraries, but the hacks and browser-incompatibilities drive me crazy ! HTML5 will hopefully standardize streaming data, but until then, hopefully I can resort to Flash to make this work in all browsers. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with...
My client would like website visitors to embed videos in their profiles. We've suggested that we use YouTube for a quick and cost-effective (free) solution. However he is not keen that YouTube would control access to the videos which are an important part of his service. It seems unlikely that YouTube would suddenly pull the plug but to ...
I'm trying to make a front end for all my music and video files on a spare PC I have but have come up against a bit of a road block. I originally wanted to stream the movies (avi, mpeg, flv etc) using a flash media player but after a bit of searching it seems that flash can only stream flv's. Obviously, I don't want to convert my whole h...
Does anyone know how I can best stream a webcam through an iGoogle widget? My ideal is to actually be able to stream locally--that is, get a widget that allows me to display my computer's webcam. Is this possible? (No, I'm not that vain. I'm using a webcam as a Security Camera, and I'd like to be able to view it, streaming, on my iGoo...
