Winamp TV - AMV Channel?

[valorzero]

Nullsoft recently (I think) has come up with a video streaming network open to public broadcasting, as long as you're paying the bills and doing all the work. Currently there are about 15 channels, one dedicated entirely to Family Guy 24/7. It is heavenly.

Anyway, any possibility someone could get an AMV channel going that streams..er..AMV's? It would definately be popular.

Why bother will NUllsoft?

This idea has already been discussed. Point is, the main object is bandwidth.
And bandwidth being what it is, it is much more economical and efficient to send out on-demand downloads (see: Golden Donut), which we have, than a lorryload of multicast RTSP scalable streams.

Scalable streams (especially Windows Media 9 Series if you configure it right), by nature, try to suck as much bandwidth as (1) They can get and (2) Up to the actual bandwidth of the media.

50mb per viewer per 3 minutes? = $$$$$$$


O that note, I'm doing a Active Directory Infrastructure half-P2P based "Anime Piracy Network". As soon as I get my network adapters fixed, you can join the domain. Could work for a-m-v.org too.

And valorzero;

You have post count 4, so:
OMG SFTU N00B!
Sorry, had to do that. It's an a-m-v.org tradition

Anyhow;
Wrong topic, mate. Try posting it in Site Suggestions next time you have a topic like this.

There actually was a site dedicated to amv streaming via winamp. It's at http://www.amv.x24hr.com/, although the site now says that it's offline until further notice. Still, it was good while it lasted.

Windows Media 9 Series has dynamic fine-grain scaling through coefficient reduction (Eat My Bandwidth Feature!), smart tags (Shameless Plug Feature), smart indexing (Instant Replay w00t) and all sorts of other features.

With Windows Media 9 Series, the GUID code sent by the player (a hash of the MAC addy or Windows serial), along with IP and Cookie based tracking, allows you to resume a stream to a disconnected player. Now, clients can close their player during a strea at 3m17s, and stsart automatically at 3m02s when they later reconnect (windback 15 second configurable).
