CLOSED: Streaming Video Apps

Postby rampage355 » Wed Dec 10, 2008 10:08 am

I was wondering if anyone knew of any webbased video streaming apps that could be integrated into amahi, much like the streaming music apps, like amapche http://www.amapche.org, Zina http://www.pancake.org/zina or Jinzora http://en.jinzora.com/ but for movies, there is one app OpenDB http://opendb.iamvegan.net/wiki/index.php that is looking into adding the functionality to it but has not yet. Maybe tversity http://tversity.com/ is a option?
Maybe add some of the functionality from LinuxMCE http://www.linuxmce.org/
If anyone knows of a good app let me know.

Look into GeexBox for your 'front-end' machine attached to your TV.

XBMC is great too, but its horked on my windows clients right now. Streams just fine to my Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) clients. Looking to softmod my Original XBox to be a front-end as well.

Geexbox is way lighter, fits on ~18MB CD and requires VERY little hardware.

Download the Geexbox ISO creator, modify it for your needs (no auto eject, auto TV-out, LIRC settings, etc) and burn it.


Another decent hardware based front-end is the Hauppauge Media MVP running mvpmc.org's software.

in my opinion Facebook live, livestream, broadcast me, etc. apps are best for streaming and whenever I want to live stream video's I use Facebook live because most of the world are using fb and it is great opportunity to live stream our video's easily.

It depends on what kind of group of viewers you want.
