I have a project that needs to play video but not allow downloading. I'd love to use Flash, but I've seen applications that let you download files from YouTube -- this makes me wonder if Flash isn't that secure. Must I use Quicktime or Windows Media? ...
Sorry if the question is confused, as I'm confused myself. I'm working around these requirements: I'm building a public website where I need to display video. I need to control what the player looks like I'm the sole publisher of the video, meaning it can't be on YouTube for example I need as much protection as possible in terms of pro...
I got a little question here: Some time ago I implemented HTTP Streaming using PHP code, something similar to what is on this page: http://my.opera.com/WebApplications/blog/show.dml/438711#comments And I get data with very similar solution. Now I tried to use second code from this page (in Python), but no matter what I do, I receive r...
Is there a way to pass a start time via URL when opening a video online? For example: http://www.example.com/newvideo.wmv?starttime=00:33:34.0 I've seen different methods for using Javascript or making ASX files in order to give some control over it but I just need to jump to a certain time in the file when it starts playing. The vid...
I have a stream object, and I want to create and output xml using some kind of xml stream, based on data in my input stream. I haven't done much work with streams, so I am trying to learn how to do this as efficiently as possible. The idea is that I do not want to load the entire input stream in memory, then create the entire output st...
Is there any significant performance/load time impact if single web page will load, say, 10 identical flash objects? 20? 30?.. any evidential data on sustainability of such kind of setup? This would be the same flash app, each instance serving its own stream. ...
We have acquired hosting of a Flash Media Server for prototyping, and we are trying to stream videos using Adobe Media Player. While we know that this is possible, we are curious as to what steps are needed to do this: Do we need to create a server side app in order to stream, or can we just host the videos? We already have pre-existin...
I'm no expert in audio, so if any of you folks are, I'd appreciate your insights on this. My client has a handful of MP3 podcasts stored at a relatively high bit rate, and I'd like to be able to serve those files to her users at "different" bit rates depending on that user's credentials. (For example, if you're an authenticated user, y...
I've written a real-time visualisation app in DirectX. The thing is, it should be displayed on multiple computers, as a videostream. I'm guessing WMV will be the easiest codec to do it in, since it's MS and all that. So, how would I convert a series of DirectX screengrabs to a fluent 30fps WMV video stream? ...
As part of a client support tool, I'm wanting to provide some functionality to be able to request to view/remote control a desktop session. There are a bunch of ways to get a screen capture and then stream it, but I'm wanting to find out in particular, why the RDP (Remote Desktop / Terminal Services vs. VNC experience is so different. I'...

How can do it... i tried to invoke it as follows HttpWebRequest hw = ...
Currently, a site I developed plays mp3 files directly in JW Player using the file attribute and public URLs to the mp3 file. This is now an issue with the client for legal reasons, and they now need to stream the audio files so that the users can't open up their cache and nab the files directly after downloading. The JW player site has...
Hi, I am currently working on a small project, where I need to send a potentially large file over the internet. After some debating I decided to go with the streaming option instead of a chunking approach. The files can potentially be very big, I don't really want to specify an exact upper bound, 2GB maybe 4GB, who knows. Naturally th...
I have a need to write a quick and dirty application to write some data over an ethernet connection to a remote machine. The remote machine is sitting waiting for data, and I just want to blat some data at it to test the connection and bandwidth etc. I'd like to be able to, say, send a known pattern of data (simple counting or repeating...
I'm looking for some solutions for creating an mp3 player in flash; one that either uses streaming or some kind of obfuscation to prevent users from downloading the source mp3. If I used a server/solution that used the RMTP: protocol, would that prevent the download? Are there any possibilities for using Amazon S3 server for serving the ...
Hello, I need a way to extract the audio from some video (in PHP). I have the video streaming in from YouTube, so I would really like it if it were on the fly streaming, not I have to save it to a temp directory and process it there (though that is acceptable.) Thanks, Isaac Waller Edit: to be more specific, I have a MP4 and I want it to...
I need an Open Source solution & tutorial for creating mobile streaming server that can stream video on 3gp (3gpp) format, i have tried using Helix DNA Server, but it's free version only allow real media not 3gp. I have heard about DSS (Darwin Streaming Server) but i can't found any Windows binaries (compiled exe) for that, and Catra St...
The question is entitled with the word "Stream" because the question below is a concrete example of a more generic doubt I have about Streams: I have a problem that accepts two solutions and I want to know the best one: I download a file, save it to disk (2 min), read it and write the contents to the DB (+ 2 min). I download a file an...
In my previous question, someone has commented that write a .NET Stream to two another Streams simultaneously is possible. I only could find one way but using a temporary variable (buffer) that would store the contents (fully or partialy at once) of the input Stream. There is any way to do that without using buffers? There is any way t...
I will be using PHP. I want to build a basic dating site so I think I need to learn how module by module or piece by piece until I have it completed. What I want to start with is the webcam part. How would I go about streaming a webcam to a website? How would I fetch a few screenshots of the webcam and post it on the site (storing i...
