We are considering developing a streaming video website, like Youtube. What are the technologies available, and how to leverage them? I know that clients like Adobe Flash Player, Silverlight etc can be used to play the streamed movie, but my concern is more or less regarding the server architecture, encoding etc. Please help. Right now...
Can I stream a live video in WPF application from my web cam? If yes, then How? ...
I need to serve audio content (not music though, more like podcasts; human speech), and I'm thinking of using a flash-based player to let users hear the content without having to download it. I need a free embeddable flash based mp3 player. Any suggestions? Because it's not music, I don't care about playlist (I don't want them, they wi...
In WCF, contracts can be switched to streaming mode, to transfer large messages. After reading and testing it seems to me, that streaming mode can not be used with duplex channels (channels with OneWay-calls and a callback interface). Is this so? Do duplex and streaming can not be used with each other? Or is there a way? (I'm trying t...
I have a command line app the continuously outputs YAML data in the form: - col0: datum0 col1: datum1 col2: datum2 - col0: datum0 col1: datum1 col2: datum2 ... It does this for all of eternity. I would like to write a Python script that continuously reads each of these records. The PyYAML library seems best at taking fully l...
I'm prototyping a realtime notification mechanism using http over port 80. The aim of the project is to allow a Flash application to respond to an event on a remote server quickly (specifically an inbound phone call being connected to a phone next to the computer.) Polling is one approach, but is too slow. Currently I use a socket connec...

I'm preparing to build a social networking web site that should have some form of webconferencing. First of all uploading should - if possible- be web-based. I want to make use of standard webcams probably in conjuction with a flash app that will upload the video stream. The server then will broadcast the stream together with storing it...
The following method (in which I hopefully did not make any mistakes while dramatically simplifying it for this post) is working properly and set up using the Streamed transfer mode over the net.tcp protocol. The problem is that the performance is significantly worse than downloading the same file through IIS over http. Why would this b...
Hi, I have to do a job overnight to enable a very simple interface for users listening to a radio channel over the internet. I am wondering what is the best soluition for streaming. I thought of QuickTime, but it requires users to have it installed and I am not quite sure Quicktime is as spread as flash. So I tend to implement something ...
I'm developing a Java application that streams music via HTTP, and one problem I've come up against is that while the app is reading the audio file from disk and sending it to the client it usually maxes out the CPU at 90-100% (which can cause users problems running other apps). Is it possible to control the thread doing this work to us...
I am working for a company where we are developing video chat support on an existing application. I have looked at various solutions for this like Using Managed Direct show for video capture and streaming in C# Some code samples in code project where we take an image and pass it over the network (I would call it rather a crude solution...
Hi, I don't know much about deploying Flash video streaming solutions, and I want to know if the following can be accomplished in Flash. I am creating an application where multiple people can watch a video at the same time , but one of those people controls the playback of the video for everyone. Furthermore, the controller is not alw...

I am trying to set up a streaming WCF service using basicHttpBinding. The service is hosted in an IIS7 process. The contract contains a simple Stream GetStream() operation. When I connect with a simple client using a Service Reference I get the following result from the server. Content Type multipart/related; type="application/xop+xm...
I unsuccessfully searched Google for a good definition and understanding of streaming data and its characteristics. My questions are: What is streaming data? How can it be detected? Correction: "How can it be detected" is not an appropriate question. Instead my question is: How is it different from buffered data and other data tran...
I am developing a WAP/mobile website that would allow users to stream audio/video (although the priority is audio) via their mobile browsers.. For music I would be streaming mp3 files, and for video I would be streaming flv and 3gp files (but mostly 3gp). Can anyone recommend solutions (i.e. what to use and/or a point to the right dire...
I want to send a large blob from biztalk with some metadata to a WCF service. I can control both the service settings and the biztalk settings freely, though I have to use http to reach the service. The blob may well be in the gigabyte range, so the plain WCF BizTalk adapter with BasicHttp or WSHttp is out of question since it serializ...
I've got a flash mp3 player on one of my web pages, streaming external audio. Check this site out as an example (no affiliation, just an example): http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ When it's a decent sized mp3, once I start playing the file, it takes a little time to buffer. While it's buffering, if I click o...
