Video Resource Manager in Linux


Hi,
I am trying to develop a video resource manager in Linux.By that what I mean is, if two applications (may be running in two different machines) are trying to play videos, the video resources will be served by this video resource manager (running at a center location). Pardon me as I donot have much idea about video resource handling in Linux , first of all , it is feasible to have this kind of a layer, in between the applications and the available resource hardware.
Kindly give me some pointer as to how do I start? Pl. give me some reference URLs.
Thanks and Regards,
Souvik

naively I proffer...

write a kernel module which overrides the file reading system call hook(s), then your mod would check if file already in use and then...




dunno if this extra abstraction is required though... the vfs serves up pretty well already...

You mean a Linux media server? You wouldn't need to write that from scratch. It isn't my area of expertise, but I believe all the components for a Linux media server are already written, it's just a matter of how you want to put them together. Just google "Linux media server".
