How to stream Quicktime, Windows Media, and Real Media.

[dwhs web hosting]

Hello,

As faster internet connections around world become more common so does streaming video. I actually streamed a entire turkish soccer game the other day. It seems the most popular streaming is embedded into a web-page like the quicktime example below but real media is the fastest and smallest compression available today. Keep in mind some will not even use real media since real media's player has spyware in it.

Maybe do both and mpeg's are good too

I am sure you will figure it out, as we get more methods for streaming in our hands we will post it here.

Good Luck,

James

With quicktime all you need to do is add this plug in to any wb page and set the movie name correctly in the code:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="movie.mov">
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="controller" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="loop" VALUE="false">
<EMBED SRC="movie.mov" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=256 AUTOPLAY=true CONTROLLER=true LOOP=false PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

There are some variables like the width and hight and there may even be more options to this plug-in if you search around the web.

Here is a simple how to on streaming real audio or real video.

First you will need to create a real media file in note pad by following this example.

1. Open the program called notepad in your computer.

2. Type this into the notepad file:

http://www.your-main-domain.com/realmedia/tune.rm

Replace the parts needed to match your domain.

3. Then save and name this file tune.ram (tune is a example, you can use any name here)

4. Upload the notepad into the same folder as you real media file (tune.ram)

5. Create a link on your website somewhere to the tune.ram file.

The link could look something like:

http://www.your-main-domain.com/tune.ram

This will stream video and audio when done correctly.

It's somewhat simple actually.

Just add this code into the body of the webpage:

Code: Select all

<embed style="FILTER: xray" name="DWHS Video Player" src="http://www.verocom.com/frosty.mpeg" type="application/x-mplayer2" width="320" height="265" ShowC.."1" ShowStatusBar="0" AutoSize="true" loop="true" EnableC.."0" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/Downloads/Contents/Products/MediaPlayer/"></embed>

Then change the path to the where your video is.

"http://www.verocom.com/frosty.mpeg"
