Hello guys. Thank you for that nice forum, i learned many interesting information in here.
I wanna open video streaming service. Client program will run on Windows OS. I think it will be good to use WMP9 for video playing needs, is it?
Here's goes interesting thing: i don't wanna users wait till video will be buffered. Of course user must wait FIRST time(about 10 seconds or less) but no more waits except that first.
Maybe...?
Client-side program handles all user's wishes about playing videos(rewind, play etc) and sending
that to server. Server will analyze these wishes and will create new video flow. For example, if user wants to rewind or change video he will need just push button and client-side program will send a signal to server. Server will recognize that signal and will
PUT media content into that video flow.
So video player will just play a video streaming link that will be provided by client-side program.
That link will be received by client-side program when server will open new 'video flow' for
unique user, it will happen when user will open client program.
My questions:
1) Is it possible to send video flow to video player, means video player will just accept incoming data and display it?
2) Is it possible to add/remove video data in video file in real time? User-side video player will just read and display that sever-side file all the time without need to buffer new files.
3) I will use h.264 codecs for video. I heard x.264 encoder's not bad for encoding but maybe i can buy/get for free something better?
