Creating a Video Streaming Server

inspiredbymetal · 09-16-2007, 10:34 AM

Hello i am looking to create a video streaming server so that users within my organisation can upload files and play them. Is there any premade php/perl package simular to youtube. I have found this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/video_stre...tpd_flowplayer that details useing flow player however i was woundering if there was more of a whole package that allowed users to logon and upload files!

thanks for any help in advanced

Are your users on a LAN? First you said that you want to stream videos, and then you said that you want to upload them?

If you want users to simply click on a link, then a simple web page with links to the video could do it.

You might want to google for vlc or gstreamer.

I was looking for something that allowed users to login upload videos and also view other users video's.

One option is to use a darwin streaming server to stream QuickTime compatible videos. You may need to convert uploaded videos so that they are in a format that can be streamed by the server. Here I am thinking about a web based user interface. You could also use a streamcast server instead. Your question is very open ended. Google for options and decide what you want to do.
