Streaming more than 1 movie on web page

[yhlai]

Dear all,

I read this article which talks about streaming a file on the web.
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=40546

But, however, is it possible to do streaming for more than 1 video concurrently and shown on the web page?
I don't know which movie will user clicks so can I simply write a script to invoke the command line and stream?

Many Thanks.

Yes you can;

Server Side you need to use PHP for example to controls the streams (checkout VLM for that)

On the webpage you need a video player, VLC plugin for example or Divx player or other (see for example http://wiki.videolan.org/HowTo_Integrat ... ur_webpage)

Read the wiki for VLM, VLC plugin Activex and mozilla...

How about ASP.Net?
Actually I needa build a website to show different streaming video for my project with ASP coding, shows on both IE/FIrefox.

BTW, I followed the steps from your link and shown the result successfully (shown the video from my PC), but I can show the video on my browser without open my VLC player, so does it mean that it's providing streaming already? Many thanks.

you can use any language you want, but theres a lot of shortcuts with Php+Apache under linux

i dont understand that :

but I can show the video on my browser without open my VLC player

you need one vlc to 'stream' over HTTP (the server) and one another VLC to read this stream (this can be or not the plugin in a webpage)

I mean I can view the video moving but I did't open the VLC player ( C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC>vlc.exe )

That means the client needs to install VLC too?
Can the client side not needed the VLC program?

to read the stream you need VLC or any other player (like WMP) if your VLC server streams in a compatible format

in 0.9 for example, VLC can stream to flash/h264 so the client will only need Flash player

you stated this:

in 0.9 for example, VLC can stream to flash/h264 so the client will only need Flash player

1. has anyone been able to get this to work yet? any examples of this?

2. i read about nightly builds etc, but im confused on when and how to use them. Is there one that actually has this working correctly?

3. and when will 0.9 actually come out working?

4. in essence we could take a dvd and stream as a flv into a FLV player?

1) in 0.9 you can stream in h264 but you need a good computer as it needs some cpu

2) nightlies are unstable, but some version offers some new functionnality

3) theres still a lot of work and questions for a complete release, so maybe before end of 2008 i dunno

4) yes

so all this is doable with VLC but you need to code/hack a little bit
