Radio broadcast at specific time |
|
|
Hello
We'd like to have a radio broadcast from our site once a week, at 6pm, for about 2 hours. We would upload the content to our hosting provider's streamming media server.
If someone connects at 6:10 pm, we would like them to tune in at the current point, not from the beginning (is this called simulcast?
Can this be done and how hard would it be?
Thank you!

Well, you will be broadcasting from the media encoder on your network
to the streaming server's publishing point on theirs right ? So what
will happen is a client will connect to their server, and ask for the
stream. Their server will start sending current content, which at
6:10pm will be only slightly delayed from your live encode steam up to
the media server.
What's the difference is that you're not sending a file, but a stream
to the server. And so, you're not asking for 10 minutes into a file,
but 'whats available now' from a stream. Although the media server can
archive the stream as a wma file for later playing, any connections
when you're encoding should be live at all times. So, it should work
fine ;-)
Cheers - Neil

Neil,
Thanks for the info. I'd prefer this to be a pre-recorded
thing that we can upload as a file and start streaming at
a specific date/time. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Diego
