Hello,

I'd like to have a clip (audio and video) streamming from
my home page with the following characteristics:

1. I have multiple videos and want to show one after the
other, sequentially

2. When someone logs in, I don't want to show the video
from the start, I want to show it real-time, as if they
had changed to a new TV channel and started watching a
movie half-way through.

3. Every 2 weeks there will be a new video added (to the
top of the list) and the oldest one will get removed.

I posted a similar question 'Radio broadcast at specific
time', maybe the answer is the same and the only solution
is to have a PC feeding the stream to the media server,
if so I apologize in advance.

Thanks a lot!

Diego

This scenario will require a Windows Media Server:

1. Create a playlist on the server or point it to a directory of videos you
need to show.
2. Create a braodcast publishing point

This is probably the same response you got to your last post as I can't see
any other way of generating a TV like experiance.

Thanks,

Any tips on how to estimate requirements for the
hardware, or any companies that offer this service?

Thank you,

Diego

The hardware requirements really depend on the number of users viewing the
stream. The limits on performance are based both hardware and also the
bandwidth of the connection that the media is being transported over.
Hosting this youself you may well find that bandwith would be the limiting
resource There are no hard and fast rules.
